That Great Commandment
Death is a progression, not a regressionDream Life Mastery Review, an important difference that is not well understood in your world, it is a triumph of release from a body that is slowly disintegrating about you, (accidental deaths are another thing). Death is not a defeat of the flesh but a discarding of one form for another, a reunion with a form that really never left you, but has been intertwined with your physical image while you were alive since your birth.
Death is a progression or a return to a form in a dimension that is a more natural dimension to you than the one you are leaving. Death is a realization that more can be accomplished by dying than living and that further living within your present context would be a frustration of purpose. The Soul/Entity is eminently aware of this, you (ego) may not be.
The inner self, the sub-consensus and the entity see the greater life beyond physical death, but the ego does not, so as it senses it's coming death, it seems to be an impending extinction, and it does not usually take it very well and will fight to defend its survival. That is why so many people will struggle so desperately to live even when it may mean living in a comatose state.
