Today, I attended the funeral of a friend’s son who died on the Colorado River while rafting with friends. He was merely in his 20’s when he left us. I met him during my friend’s birthday party last year. I felt this great love of her family during my time with them, as it felt really loving and special to be among them. He climbed tall mountains, hiked great peaks, kayaked raging rivers, and lived with deep passion for his life. Today was a sad day to lose such a wonderful young man who lived his life to the fullest, loved so many, and laughed often. We should all live life with such meaning, and live in the moment as this man.
During the funeral, I realized that we mourn for our loss as we will miss him greatly, but I know in my heart that it is not the end at death as I have met people in this lifetime who I have known from past lifetimes. This knowledge gives me great peace not to fear death as it is not the end, but a temporary parting with those we love until we are with them again. I know that I will be with those I love if not in this lifetime then in the next.
I realized today why we generally don’t remember our past lives. It is so that we can live this life fully without the past affecting our current lifetime. Each lifetime, we are given a clean slate to begin anew to find our path and ascend to our higher selves. We are given this chance with every lifetime. Knowing this now, I know that I am given this chance so I won’t squander it.
Each day, I persevere to move forward spirituality and work toward ascension. Maybe in this lifetime, I will finally find my way, as I have lost my way so many times before in past lifetimes. My soul seeks this path with hope, faith, and love in my heart, Brooke (Copyright 2014 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
