THE GRAVE 3
.jpg)
When we think metaphorically, death in the physical world
connotes entry into the unknown void. But life beyond physical
death is no more of a mystery than life in the physical world. The
'events' of one's life are pointers to, or tracings of, what is
experienced in another realm. If life were just the passage from
material birth to material death it would easily be discarded, but we cling to it
tenaciously because it contains more than is revealed externally.
When we are aware that we have received life as a gift, we have
the responsibility to live purposefully. So death is a metaphor
for relinquishing the known, just as life is a metaphor for
affirming the unknown.
If one enters the Door of Death one assumes the responsibility of
looking within, of exploring the recesses of the grave for the
purpose of discerning what cannot be learned in the outer world.
