Are you preparing for The Other Side, in your way?

[Uma]

"other side" that's the language of space
and "dead" that's the language of time
the soul lives beyond the space-time continuum
and the joy is
to situate there
while watching the play of space and time

But What About Preparing To Bury The Physical Body. Are You Prepared?

You have a good point right here. I have been postponing in writing my will but I want my organs donated and I want my body donated to science. I don't want to take up space in the cemetery when my body can be used to research and find new cures to illnesses and diseases.

I am now thinking about how I want my 'physical body' to be prepared. I think that leaving a 'Will' is the kindest thing everyone can do. We talk about our 'Spiritual Paths'...but...We forget that our physical bodies 'Die' and our 'Living Families' have to find a way of disposing/burying/cremating 'Our Physical Body. We have to make it easy for our loved ones. I totally Agree With You:)

Concentrate on honouring your soul and Divine birthright in the present, the future will take care of itself.

I know I try to practice random acts of kindness/consideration, while driving (no honking, and allowing people to merge, even when I'm cranky and in a rush) and also at the grocery store. I almost always check to see what the person behind me has: if it's one or two items, I'll offer to let them go first. (Funny how surprised they sometimes are.)

But I'm also all-too aware that it can be easier to be more kind to strangers, with whom one has no history of disappointments or hurts, than with some family members of whom the same cannot be said. Working on wiping the slate clean with the latter too

I figure I'll need all those kind moments, when it comes time for that Life Review film that I'm expecting to squirm through!

I never did fill out those papers I sent for, thank you for the reminder.

If interested, google something on medical donation of body...there are
places in your area that handle everything free.
After the students learn what they need to they take care of everything
and with a sincere, respectful thank you to the family.
Saves the living a lot of money and hassle.
Can't remember if they give the body back or give the ashes, sorry.

Very practical, indeed!
That Life Review, by golly...I want to be like Meryl Streep in
Defending Your Life, for sure.

It is our deeds, the accumulated acts of goodness and kindness, that define us and ultimately are the true measure of our worth.

Those small and usually forgotten kindnesses all stack up over the years...
