Quote of the Week
As the dweller in this body passes into childhood, youth, and age, so also does he pass into another body.  This does not bewilder the wise. 
Bhagavad-Gita 2.13 

Commentary:   There is an aspect of Life (Existence) that is eternal and unchanging!  This is our innate divine nature; our true and absolute identity; the field within which the experiences of our relative lives occur.  We tend to think of this absolute identity as living within the physical body, but it is quite the opposite, the body and all of our physical experiences live within the field of our true identity.  Just as all of our thoughts and dreams live within our minds, even though we can experience them as actual physical realities.  The wise are they who know this true identity and are not bewildered by the temporal changes of our physical experiences.  They understand that these relative changes are always occurring moment to moment; from  birth to childhood, to youth, to old age, and eventually back into the non-physical where another body may be chosen.  Even though the transition into the physical (birth,) and into spirit or non-physical (death,) are more dramatic events, they are essentially identical to the on-going changes that occur our physical lives from day to day.  The wise therefore treat the transitions from spirit to physical and vice versa, from age five to six, and even the transitions into higher states of consciousness equally.

Darryl Anka channeling Bashar

Bashar is a being of extraterrestrial origin, a friend from the future who has spoken for the past 30 years through the channel Darryl Anka, bringing through a wave of new information that clearly explains in detail how the universe works and how each person creates the reality they experience.  Over the years, thousands of individuals have had the opportunity to apply these principles to manifest the reality they prefer.

Quote of the Week
There never was a time when I was not, nor you, nor these rulers of men.  Nor will there ever be a time when all of us shall cease to be. 
Bhagavad-Gita 2.12 

Commentary:   In the previous verse, Lord Krishna gave Arjuna the wisdom that would permanently eliminate grief from anyone's experience; and in this verse He proceeds to further expound on the reason why the wise grieve neither for the dead or the living; it is simply because they understand that all things are immortal.  The Lord is the Source of all that exists so everything is but an aspect or expression His inherent immortality.  This understanding removes any justification for grief for it establishes the inherent permanence of everything in creation.  The fundamental principle is that even though things appear to change, they are in fact only individualized expressions of the Lord transforming from one superficial form to another.  This is exactly what we experience in our dreams, where our dream characters are but individual expressions of our individual consciousness.  This understanding does not exemplify the use of grief to transition from one state of being to another, but it does exemplify that it is unnecessary.
