There was a movie that caught my attention. He is titled Flat Liners. In the HBO screen this movie has been played more than twice. So interested me, to the point of watching up twice. The film that tells about the experiment of a number of medical students about this death, enough to inspire my awareness of the meaning of life.
How unflattering, at the gate of death - as the film is said - people carry no treasure, big name, what other people praise. And what we must carry is our actions during our lifetime. Considering everyone's actions are different, then from five medical students who have experienced these few seconds of death, the experience is very different.
It is okay for the director of this film to conclude so. However, in another aspect of this movie presents a different meaning for me. Many people already know, if the motion of the heart detector shows the movement of different graphics, between healthy and sick people, what else between people still living with people who have died. What is clear, people are still alive have a motion chart up and down. While people are dead, moving flat without cycle up and down.
This is indeed a technological job. But to me he presents a symbol of meaning that is not superficial. As we feel for ourselves, every human being lives everywhere always - once again always - cycles. After love there is grief. After dark there is light. Afternoon night. The period of power changed retirement.
No one can break this law. Kahlil Gibran even wrote it very beautifully: 'when we mingle in the guest room with happiness, sadness is waiting in the bedroom'. This means, we live in the house with happiness and sadness. How can we avoid and turn away from people living with us?
No one knows exactly what happens after death. However, looking at the parallel between the motion cycle of the heart detector, with the human life cycle that recognizes up and down, lest death is the beginning of a life without cycles. He is flat in all weather. This is just a speculation that needs deepening, and proving-proof.
In a number of religions and beliefs I know, death is the beginning of purification and cleansing. Or in the language of an eastern pilocopy, back to zero. At zero point there is neither positive nor negative. No ups and downs. Nothing big and small. Similar to horizontal lines. Either right or wrong, this is called a number of people with terminology such as purity, enlightenment, cleansing of the soul.
In this position, humans no longer need attributes such as wealth, power, and praise. All of this becomes irrelevant, because good treasure, power, or praise are absolute numbers that recognize the up-and-down cycle. More than simply not needing this attribute, purity and enlightenment at this zero point, also presents immunities. Stress, illness, disturbance of others in any form, does not have much effect on body and soul that has reached zero.
In clarity I want to tell you, it all begins and ends here (read: zero). Similar to Miyamoto Musashi's story, when Musashi is in deep quandary and then asks his teacher. The teacher only replied with a picture of a circle on the ground.
I personally sometimes meet the zero point before, sometimes not. Understandably, it still bears the usual human status of life. Especially in the pressures of work and the pressures of life are heavy. The up and down cycle moves in a larger rhythm than usual. However, when we can surpass sorrow, ups and downs, rich-poor (up to zero), then this body and soul feel very light without any burden at all.
May be lighter than cotton and air. No heavy burden of the past. No fears today are disturbing. What more worries about the future. Everything is lost and disappeared in consciousness.
Sure anyone asks, can everyone reach the zero point? The burden and the provision of living people are different. Like walking a long way, some carry a heavy carrying bag, some are lightweight. And what makes it so hard and light is just one: the quality of our gratitude to life and life. In a high quality of gratitude, consciousness appears like a wing that makes everything light.
It may be that anyone doubts the relationship between gratitude and consciousness. And for me, these two things are like a mother's relationship. Gratitude is her mother's consciousness. Just look at yourself in their own environment, are not people who are dissatisfied and never thankful, their consciousness is wrapped up by so many things?
Greed of treasure, over-lust for power, jealousy in the accomplishments of others, fear of losing power, too eager to sit in the seat of power, is only a part of the consciousness, caused by the dryness of the sykur. The zero point - as the beginning of everything - is very, very difficult to achieve in this life.
