It discusses from the perspective of various religions how death is most properly viewed as a vehicle of transcendence toward spiritual rebirth within this life. <BR/><BR/>The book illuminated how religions use symbols of creation or the beginning of a life within their sacred traditions surrounding death.<BR/><BR/>It's all one and the same.Epoemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122653173151202281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2299834291784059265.post-25942066975830003312008-12-14T15:42:00.000-06:002008-12-14T15:42:00.000-06:00I am definitely looking forward to seeing the film...I am definitely looking forward to seeing the film. Maybe I'll get to see it before I take my trip :0)<BR/><BR/>Another thought to ponder...<BR/>People often are afraid of dying because they don't look at it as a transcendence to a better place. They clutch so wholly to this world when we are mere vessells on a journey and death just begins the next path of our journey. <BR/><BR/>As my good friend, People don't live their lives ready to die.

It's cute. <BR/><BR/>I am extremely non-optimistic, it sucks. I wish I could see the glass half full more often than I do.<BR/><BR/>With my boss? There is no story behind it. We were supposed to go to a Christmas party at noon, but we had an computer tech guy come in, so we didn't end up going to the party until 3pm, which took place at a bar.
