one two

sooner or later we notice that our live is imprinted by two main topics. or rather impacts:

the emerge of new lives - haze of youth. 

the vanishing of old lives - fulfillment of seniority. 

as long as we live in a state of good dualism - realizing that our health is based on the idea of balance -  one of these topics might be experienced as a light aspect the other as a dark one.
 

the moments when death - our own or others’ fate - comes closer to our existence, many of us reach for techniques to deal with the dark for establishing a certain ability of not going crazy.
the strongest - who might not necessarily be the happiest - may deal with the fact of death purely on their own without any philosophical, metaphysical or spiritual additive support.
most of us will step backwards into old patterns of living-on, following teachers who deal professional with despair - modern psychologists for those who are not connected or have no relationship to the ancients paths of getting-along, religion for those who live a rather coherent live. 

for instance... rooted in southern europe there is that huge torrent of christianity - specialists for consolation in its most subtle essence. in the north we find a powerful germanic path, including the shadows and that big shadow called death as an essential part of life on earth.  

it is our responsibility to confront ourselves with the matter of death as often as possible. from my point of view I highly recommend to dive into tribal para-worlds frequently. thus we encouraging one self to help establishing a strong self-confident and self-conscious multispiritual reality:
a world wide web of essentials in getting-along in a certain human pride filled with sparkling and oscillating consciousness. a powerful network of profound breathe thus avoiding to overestimate the importance of scientific approach to our mother earth and her children - us.
