Supernova & Human Mortality [comment]

In response to my philosophical dropping; Greg [a good philosopher friend of mine] has tossed his 2-cent [below]...

"these things you say are true.  Having experienced first hand [I was in the room, bedside, when my M.I.L. transitioned from this sphere] the energy used to perform that fete was palpable.  Humbling, awe inspiring, words can't do the experience justice. Like stars, the ancients taught that we too are energy, confined in a secular body.  Like stars, we shine, rotate, posess gravity, release noxious gases, and eventually stop shining. But just as stars become black holes [our definition - there is no true black in nature] which cannot be seen, but still posess energy, humans that die are no longer seen in this plane, but the energy is still present.  Our bodies are vessels and when emptied, wither to dust as a coccoon withers after a butterfly emerges.  The being in the coccoon liquifies and is transformed into another being.  Thus, human beings are the original 'transformers', and we, on this plane, cannot recognize the human butterflys of previous incarnations that are present around us.  We are born in water - the womb - and as we grow, we seperate ourselves from the river of life. But as many drops of water creates the ocean, we are all part of the ocean, waiting until our turn, to reconnect with the whole cosmic energy.  Energy never dissipates, it re-emerges ..."

Very well put Greg; you are getting closer to the stage of enlightenment...

Supernova & Human Mortality

There’s a tremendous amount of talks about death surrounding my sphere of influence. So much so that it drove me into formulating some deep thoughts on the matter. I believe the word I’m looking for is “inevitable” – I know, it's a bit cliche, the word is... everything has an expiration date; the butterfly-effect the deceased, in mortal terms and in observational proximity, can be described and reflected in direct correlation to the Supernovas [the death of celestial beings – Stars].

To explain this in simple analogy, every so often, a star somewhere in our universe expires or implodes; the effect of this supernova creates a black hole and as we know, a black hole devours everything [all matter] in it’s path or proximate radius. We know not why nor do we have the technology to investigate in depth, as of this writing, the aftermath of this event. The gravity pull of a black hole is extremely lethal [planets, gases, light, you name it cannot withstand such force…].
The same can be said of the death of a loved one in the family. The deceased was once a lively star within their immediate family nucleus [galaxy is to family - universe is to planetary population]. When this person dies, like the star, a black hole [emotional despair and financial whirlpool] forms; thereby, like the powerful gravity of the Supernova – it sucks everything towards it. Distant relatives, girlfriend, boyfriend, cousins, uncles, wife, husband, and/or everyone this person came into contact with will mysteriously [subtle or abrupt] gravitate closer because of this event. Thus, like all critical impacts, the course of your perspective can only be defined by you; the bad news is, it sucks [literally] – emotionally and financially. The good news is, everybody will come together, redefining the lines of the family, mending old bridges, rectifying old differences, bringing greater value and appreciation to life where it was once vague or obscured by complacency, stagnation, greed, fame, status, and/or material things. Thus, we should keep in mind that destiny does not create us – WE are the architects of our own destiny.
