1 Corinthians 15:54 · World English Bible
But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
The body that ages and fails is a form the moment wears for a while. Within a person lives an awareness that was never born and cannot decay, and when someone touches it, the fear of ending loosens its grip.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
The body that ages and fails is a form the moment wears for a while. Within a person lives an awareness that was never born and cannot decay, and when someone touches it, the fear of ending loosens its grip. The passing shape has not vanished. It has been clothed in what does not pass.
One day this changeover will be complete, and death will be swallowed the way a small wave is taken back into the sea. Nothing is destroyed in that moment. What seemed like the end turns out to be the return of a life that was never yours to lose, only yours to remember.
Ego v. Being lens
What would change in how you live today if you were not quietly afraid of ending?
The one within is not slain when the body falls. Weapons do not cut it, fire does not burn it, water does not wet it.
Life and death are day and night to the one who has stopped taking sides. He grieves no more at dusk than he celebrates at dawn.
Death is not the ending but the breaking of a cage. The bird was never the bars.
