That said, some of the end of life case studies (basically give terminal patients a big dose of shrooms) look to be beneficial, removing the fear of death and of the beyond.
This has me wondering... why does a hallucinogenic free lunch suddenly become okay just because someone is at the end of their life?
The process of death and dying, in my view, is just as cosmically and archetypically significant as the process of our gestation and birth. One is the door that brings us here, one is the door we go through to leave. I for one wouldn't recommend pregnant mothers get high before bringing a baby into the world - for the sake of the Souls of both the mother and the child. That is, to me, a
birth-phobic recommendation
. It assumes that there's something so disastrous about the birth process that it must be fled from with drugs. Looking at it objectively, birth is not supposed to be 'easy'. Same with death. Maybe making either of them 'easier' actually robs the Soul of a very crucial lesson. In the case of death, the lesson is in how to end well. How to finish what you've started, and complete the harmonic of your life. It is, in a way, our final payment, our conclusive task, and the final chance to and make the darkness conscious.
If I've understood anything about the afterlife, it's that we continue somehow on in 5D... maybe. That's not a guarantee. What I do here in 3D - up to the
very last moment - affects the state of my Soul, and what happens to 'me' when I die. So I wonder... what are the Soul implications if some of my last days are spent in some artificially-induced escape from reality? Would that actually 'help'? But help what exactly? And help whom? My flesh? The Predator's mind in me? My false personality? Or my Soul? And the risks - of spirit attachments, of lying to oneself, or even a last-minute abduction - seem prohibitively high.
Anyways, this 'end-of-life-dose' things strikes me as a product of the ignorant death-phobia in the culture. It's lauded as 'helping people die'. But it reasserts the same death-phobia by giving people one last option to turn away from the truth and shut out the world. To truly address the death-phobia in the culture, we might ask how to achieve something closer to an objective acceptance of death, as opposed to a last ditch subjective effort to have things 'our way'.
As the C's said:
Life is religion. Life experiences reflect how one interacts with God. Those who are asleep are those of little faith in terms of their interaction with the creation. Some people think that the world exists for them to overcome or ignore or shut out. For those individuals, the worlds will cease. They will become exactly what they give to life. They will become merely a dream in the "past." People who pay strict attention to objective reality right and left, become the reality of the "Future."
