Grim Reaper|One Day Closer| Time Passage

Every night now, it seems, I lay down on my bed and say a little phrase before trying to fall asleep. “One day closer to the grim reaper” I say, one day closer to the end of this time. The thought of dying used to scare me but it really does not anymore. I think of what lies ahead, if anything, after the door closes and kind of have a vision as to what will come next.


I wonder or better yet I have a feeling that we carry much of what we have experienced here in this life into the next reality, existence, plane, universe or whatever you want to call it. The body dies but the soul or spirit lives on. We need a release in the next life just as we need a release in this life, we need to unload the weight of existence we need to unburden ourselves of our past and future transgressions, or even sins to use a term that scares a lot of people these day, because sin implies transgressions and ah yes, guilt, that nasty archaic word. What we feel when we do something we know we should not have done or something that goes against the grain or our flow. We cannot ignore these things if we want to survive, wherever it is we are surviving. We need help unburdening ourselves in our next sphere of existence, we need help from those souls that we left behind and who we will continue to be a part of until we can break free of the immortal ties that bind us all together. This takes great strength of spirit and great will and a strong soul; but we cannot do it without the help of other souls.
