Sharon Stone had a Near Death Experience some years ago, and had this to say: “Death is . . . ‘very near and very safe… and loving, and gentle, and OK, and there’s nothing to be afraid of.'”
In my more spiritual moments in recent days I have been feeling this. It could be a premonition of my own death, but it seems more likely this is what authentic spirituality feels like: you feel this world suffused perfectly with a better one. You can feel the colors the flowers and sky would be capable of, if they could only be released. I feel peace, safety and freedom. Heaven is already here. It is just a half step to get there, and all our pain melts away.
As I say, my work continues, but after many long and hopeless years it finally seems to.be bearing fruit.
I think the first phase of my life is slowly ending, and something new and better taking its place.
