    Everything that I’ve experienced in life up to this point has made me a better person. I believe that even the worst of events/experiences that have occurred brought with them a positive change. Whenever something bad happened it brought with it a very crucial and much needed life lesson or it forced me in to a position where I could avoid a much worse mistake. Why is it then when I think this to myself that my mind attempts to scare me away from this revelation? I tell myself that all negative experiences that have occurred over the course of my life are a good thing because they’ve let to a positive change and my mind reminds me that a death in my family could occur and how would that be a good thing? Why does my mind work against me?

    Hello AJ,

    Could it be that your mind scares you away form the revelation because there’s something else that you need to process? Maybe you tell yourself that things happen for the best and move on from them, but you don’t grieve them, so that energy remains in your body?

    Someone close to me passed away last night. Of course, death in itself seems unfair because it separates us from the people we love. However, if you had a family member suffering from a terminal illness and they passed away, would that be terrible? Of course it would be, however you can also see that their suffering has ended. Maybe the passing away of a loved one helps them release their burdens (death of an elderly spouse or child) and it isn’t so bad.

    AJ, I think all of our minds work against us.

    Theres nothing wrong with you or your thoughts.

    I do however feel that with death, you can’t really put a label on it being positive or negative because it’s complex – it’s both, it’s everything, it’s nothing. Death is death, a fact of life, but it can also teach us valuable lessons that we can learn and grow from. I think death is a very personal thing and it’s totally up to your own interpretation.

    Maybe you should make a few choices in what you want to believe about life and death?

    Hello AJ – let’s start with the basic concept of a Human Being – within the word, as well as the existence of a human being, you’ll see that it’s made up of two parts:
    – the Human part of us – the body and the mind, that includes the parts that taste, touch, think; eats, wakes up, grows, reproduces and dies. Calculates, rationalizes, and forms beliefs.
    – the Being part of us – this is the deepest part of our being that’s our soul – a spark of divinity. This part of us is fearless and content to Be.

    Once you can start recognize the differences in the two voices you hear from within, you’ll know which voice is from the Human side or the mind; and which voice is from the Being side or the soul. Fear versus Joy. Ego versus Expansiveness.

    If you’re able to relate to what I’m talking about, you’re welcome to read more here: http://www.nestintheforest.com/jivatma-sankrit-meaning/

    I hope this helps!
    Namaste, Saiisha
