So, I went through this huge inner conflict over whether or not wanting to die young is healthy, and after much prayer and reflection, had an epiphany...yes, the people I meet in real life think it's unhealthy, and many people online do...
Well, that is because I'm not meeting spiritually minded people...If it were spiritual giants, the spiritually mature, Saints, mystics, Aghori Sadhus, prophets, Healers, Shamans, Medicine men, Jesus Christ, etc. they would totally understand it...
When we die, that is potentially a time to reunite with deceased loved ones and ancestors, unite with heroes who have gone to their eternal reward, a time for unity with God, a time for better health, greater joy, greater enlightenment, greater holiness and purity, greater understanding, freedom from suffering, beauty, gardens, mansions, treasures, and riches above (at least from a Biblical perspective) etc...At least, that is Abrahamic Monotheism for kindergarteners (some of the basics regarding articles of our Faith)...
Who wouldn't want that?...Now, I have repeatedly discouraged anyone from attempting suicide...That is a sin that I believe to be offensive to God, supernatural heavenly beings, guardian Angels, Saints etc...and it really breaks the hearts of friends and family on earth. It can be a cowardly thing to do as well and very selfish and leave you permanently disabled, brain damaged, or crippled....NEVER try it!!!
That is not what I'll ever encourage or advocate...
But do you believe in God? Well, Death is a gift he gives to every single person...It is his plan for you, his will, your destiny...what's wrong with loving God's destiny and plan for us?
Do you believe Jesus was God incarnate? Well, if you do, then you also realize that the best thing he did for us was die? When it was time for him to die, he spoke about it like it was a favor...he said "Now has the time come for the son of man to be glorified".
He didn't hang himself or commit suicide, but he did say "No one takes my life from me, I lay it down".
God willed that He would die young (Age 33).
Is it unhealthy to desire a young death? Should a person desire the alternative, getting old, deterioration of good looks, going senile, seeing more loved ones die, seeing more drama, incontinence, dementia, nursing homes, weakness, arthritis, sickness, surgery, loss of hearing, loss of sight, bowel movements, osteoporosis, gray hair, hair loss, body odor, cavities, clogged arteries, menopause, enlarged prostate, walkers, wheelchairs, hearing aides, and the list goes on and on and on....
I mean...the last thing I want to do is discourage you from that if that is your destiny and God's will....but is it necessarily unhealthy to want to avoid that and have sooner unity with God, paradise, enlightenment, Celestial joy, interaction with redeemed, glorified, heavenly beings?
I had a lot of social interaction today and it was annoying, shallow, worldly, pointless, and that is what human beings here often talk about...stuff that simply won't matter 100 years from now...and has nothing to do with God, spiritual matters, growing in holiness, mysticism, gifts of the holy spirit etc...I don't care about that temporary, shallow, empty stuff... I used to, but it is all trash to me now...
I want unity with God, enlightenment, understanding, clarity, unity with Angels, Saints, and enlightened souls...I think I'll find more of that in Heaven or purgatory...
Yes, most people would say that is unhealthy, but most people are seeking their reward in this passing life...that isn't what a lot of Religions teach.
I think Jesus would totally see eye to eye with me:
John 12:25 ►
"Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life."
He would tell people to give everything to the poor and store up no riches in this life but store up treasures for the next life and look forward to it...
Matthew 6:19-21
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy,and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ was painful, bloody, and humiliating, but if you are a Christian, you believe it was a good thing, right? It glorified him, atoned for our sins, redeemed the world, defeated Satan etc. therefore, the crucifixion of Christ was a good thing, correct? In fact, it just might have been the best thing that ever happened? from Christian Theology/philosophy at least...
Sometimes, something really scary and ugly, can be very beautiful (That's why I love and collect BIG spiders...my greatest fear at one time)
