founded Diamond Light Center 30 years ago for Spiritual Awakening which hosts classes and meditation retreats and provides individual spiritual counseling to people seeking to deepen their Spiritual Awareness and discover the truth of who they are beyond the changing physical, emotional and circumstantial dimension of their lives.
In this episode we discuss how can we live a life that prepares us for and embraces death as a sacred part of the human dance and values and nurtures the parts of ourselves that are not diminished with the coming of death.
The denial of death in our culture leaves us completely unprepared when we unexpectedly receive a terminal diagnosis, resulting in medical desperation and a tendency to be influenced by the medical protocol that supports us to avoid dying at any price and views death as a failure. This is perpetrated by the language we have around dying {he lost his battle with cancer} and the medical professions view that any life at all, no matter how short, painful and limited, is better than dying and that dying must be postposed at any cost.
