  all spritiual views welcome.

  i'd also like to know if the bible presents death as a transition and if it does so more than presenting it as a complete end..

  Terry - thanks. I also have toyed with viewing life through the eyes of an artist. the varying intensities of colour suggestive of life's ebbs and flows. This kinda ties in with what another poster said on this thread - make your death light

  edit: okay it was n.drew and here it is in full

  Death IS an end. A wise man once said "pick up your cross" . He was the fellow that died on a cross or tree but who cares and why? It means your death will come, do not fear it, but pick it up. Now if someone should pick it up (it is rare) and carry it, they would be wise to make it light.

  tec - I agree regarding n.drew's comment - "from life to life". It opens up huge possibilities. I'm really glad she commmented on my thread.

  Regarding spiritual death - I hadn't thought of it as a transition but now I see that it is an important aspect that would need digging into.

  thanks flossycat - sounds interesting

  prodgal son, n.drew thanks for your thoughts on re-incarnation. I agree prodigal son that the belief of re-incarnation is very universal and that certain scriptures can be read that way.

  death, in ancient writings is beginning to sound like a positive transition rather than a deadend.

  Do you see why some people would think it should be a secret?

  uncertainty about getting it right? there are no right or wrong answers even if the the false prophet says there are

  thanks found sheep. I go through phases when my own mortality is acceptable to me and then at other times it is completely unacceptable and unfair that I should have to die before i have realised all that I want to.

  "transition from life to life" is an exciting thought and thanks for explaining

  now I need some scriptures to back up what you are saying.

  n.drew thanks for posting and I'm glad you have.

  just breaking down what you have said

  are you saying that positing that death is an end makes it goal oriented?
