Question: There is obviously a way to die properly?
E.H: He suggests that living and dying is a question of convenience and that we cannot fully die unless we are fully engaged in living. Wholly living and wholly dying go together. Most people are not fully in their bodies but instead are “dreaming” about situations they would rather be in and “you cannot die efficiently in the middle of a dream.” We have to be fully incarnate in the body before we can let go of it.
We all like to think we are a unity but we have inertias, ancestral influences, educational and government forces all making demands which we are not coping with during life and at death. We have to gather ourselves together and this is a constant battle. Most people feel rejected at some stage of their lives. We tend to view this negatively because we want acceptance from others. Yet, he says we should be grateful for this. “Instead of ‘woe is me’ we should say ‘good’, this rejection throws me back on me, and there is the ground of my individuation.”
