Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 "The beauty that permeates your life manifests in the beauty of your death." —Amma This quote reminds me of what was apparent at a nursing home where I worked. It was so wonderful to be around some people as the deaths of their bodies approached. One in particular was a Carmelite nun, & the feeling of divinity aorund her deathbed was quite noticable. It was hard to leave her deathbed, because it felt so good there! She & a certain man, even looked beautiful towards the end of their lives. Some peoples' eyes seemed to change, & I thought it may have been their souls reflecting the nature of the lives they had lived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Namah Shivaya, This is very interesting. I once heard a psychiatrist say that he was at the deathbed of an old priest at the moment of his death. The priest's last words were "now I'll find out". Different people have interpreted his statement to mean very different things. I thought he meant that he would see for himself what it was really like. Others said that he meant he would find out if there really was a heaven or afterlife - if all he believed was really true. My grandmother used to tell me about her stepfather's death. She was very close to him. He had had a stroke and was bedridden. Just a moment before his death he looked at something in front of him, smiled and pointed. He seemed very happy. Then he died. prasadini wrote: >"The beauty that permeates your life manifests in the beauty of your death." >—Amma >This quote reminds me of what was apparent at a nursing home where I worked.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 My Grandfather had one of those experiences where he is declared legally dead and comes back. Pretty much the same story everyone tells of floating above the room and then going towards a great light with loved ones guiding him. Indescribable feelings of love and contentment. Then someone told him to go back, that it wasnt his time yet. This same Grandfather, my Great-Grandfather and my cousin all on the same side of the family have died speaking to me even though I was not at their death. People in the room at all three deaths (different people) have said that as they died they were having a conversation with me looking at a space where I was not, and carrying on a conversation with me and then they passed. They were happy and peaceful according to people in the room. I have no recollection of anything pertaining to this. My Grandfather and Great-Grandfather both died when I was a child and my cousin died when I was in my 20s. I have never been able to figure out why it seems that everyon on my Mother's side of the family talks to me as they die as if I was there. Prasadini's comments about how her stepfather pointed at something in front of him and seemed happy got me thinging about this again. I have never been able to figure this out.

She kept saying to all of us "you are all mine, you are all mine." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
