What happens to us beyond this life?
It may be that the greatest mystery that confronts us human beings. What unfolds, or doesn’t unfold, after we die?
This is a question that easily can strike fear into our hearts and minds. Some have said that it’s the fear of death that leads to our culture’s crazed consumerism and our absurd need for stimulation and entertainment. Some great minds have said that it is the fear of death that underlies most human cruelty and warfare.
The great spiritual traditions each have their own ways of understanding this issue of life and death. They come to very different conclusions, but they all seem to agree that a healthy relationship to this grand mystery is crucial for leading a meaningful life on this side of death.
I have a three-part Zoom course coming up in December that explores this topic from many intriguing angles. Here’s a video that introduces the course. I hope you will check it out!
