THE GREAT TRANSITION…EVERYBODY GETS TO DO IT!
Be prepared. Don’t wait until the event is upon your family and friends
VLA COMMENT: Here in Fairfield, Iowa, the Spiritual Capital of the United States where thousands of people are pracrticing Transcendental Meditation our view on “transition” comes from a deep spiritual perspective:
From Taoist Master Hua–Ching Ni:
“At such an important time the transforming person should stay in a quiet [familiar] place without using medicine or anything else which might interfere with his natural system. All interference will trouble the process of natural transformation, no matter what level of spiritual achievement. The body should not be put in a refrigerator or burned for seven days, because the consciousness of the person is not totally gone yet. Such things, either heat or cold or a strange touch, all make the body suffer in its last days. Some spiritual people work their whole life to form their inner spiritual being, but at the time of their transformation to another realm of life, an unnecessaary interference or disturbance will continue to keep them suffering or lingering here…”Taoist Master Hua–Ching Ni
