Rah man - yes letting go is definitely a very hard and important lesson and I can see how it links to compassion, thank you.

Justbe - yes I think I understand how the essence is not what spirit is, as spirit is completeness in itself, whereas essence is a human construct. It really comes down to what you think actually survives death.

Red chic - so very true, clarification is important.

Angelblue - you have articulated it well and it does depend what it meant by 'essence'

Native spirit - yes it really does depend on definition as people see it differently.

Thank you for all the thoughts. I feel a bit better and calmer about it now after thinking about it some more and spending time in meditation.
