#1: THE WHITE LOTUS (return home manifestation = Death) NDE testimonies - yet this strikes me as a perfect explanation of death. So simple, yet so grand. Life is a waterfall, separated drops of one-water:
We're one-drop in the river
And becoming the one again after the fall (death).
We will all be together again. No more misunderstandings, no more hate, no more anger, no more corruption, no more perversion, no more injustice, no more pain, no more suffering. All is forgiven, forgotten, and past, and we are all finally unified as one
That is one of the most beautiful definitions of death I have ever heard. And it is somehow reassuring. It doesn't matter if it's grounded in reality or not.
This is the most succinct explanation of passing to the other side I've ever heard! As one who has been able to go back and forth to the many levels of heaven since childhood, I can confirm this to be true!
What a wonderful yet simple way of explaining death! In their words, everything is simplified and gives you peace, erases your fears, and transmits a whole new perspective! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, Shiva stated that everything is interconnected as one. That's the knowledge behind what the monks said. It's all one.
That’s why they always say, “We are all one.” Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love this!
The individual sent by the creator expressed this as one of his final and most significant messages to humanity.
This is what people who have near-death experiences say: God is a universal consciousness we are all a part of. Even those who are not believers share this belief. Yes, they, too, are loved and accepted by the 'one.'
It's always a significant transition for seekers to release their identity and allow their energy to feel the oneness without the baggage of favorites and addictions...but how life becomes so much sweeter when they learn it young. I learned it near 40, and at 50+, I am beyond thankful
This reminds me of a story Carl Sagan once told. A 2-dimensional creature was living in its flat 2-D world when a strong breeze lifted it into the air, and it saw the 3-D world as it floated back down. Once back in the 2-D world, it tried to explain what it saw, but nobody could understand.
Beautiful, be like water my friend. I have always loved the water . Thank you, water.
" It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.
And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.
Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.
The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean.
but of becoming the ocean." This beautiful poem is often attributed to Khalil Gibran, but it is actually from Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh).
It appears in his discourses, particularly in “The Essence of Yoga” and sometimes referenced in talks compiled under titles like “The Mustard Seed: The Revolutionary Teachings of Jesus”.
The imagery of the river trembling before merging into the ocean is Osho’s metaphor for letting go of the ego and embracing transformation, enlightenment, or the divine. https://youtube.com/shorts/y_o6uLJXUUc?si=aKAzI7M4NSZDgthD
We all have to face death together as conscious beings. All life will face death; there is no point in being worried or scared about something that all of us equally will have to face. Take advantage of this beautiful gift, and know the beauty doesn’t end here!
My dad had 2 NDEs before he actually died in 2021. He said that both near-death experiences were identical. There were tiny lights merging into a vast light, suspended in a void, surrounded by nothing but tranquility and enigmatic love. Like the void was a hug. As he was suffering and panicking in the hospital at the end of his life, trying to grasp for more time, I reminded him of these experiences, and his whole demeanor shifted. He remembered and relaxed. "Oh ya!" He said. I saw him transform completely before my eyes as he remembered where he was going. Total peace visibly came over him. It was wild! This experience has shaped my perspective on death.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me!”
Our soul peels itself out of this tiny body ... and reverts to the source. We are tiny specks of light in the heavens ... knowing everything ... feeling only pure love ... knowing everyone and everything. Pure bliss.
This is a good answer for people who are searching for the meaning of life and death and people who are positive. But this is equally bad for people who have suffered so much with no hope and are tired of life, and people who are desperate, and people with negative thoughts. They will see it as an escape from the suffering of their lives and would want to return back to where they came from, where there would be no suffering. Resulting in cutting their lives short. And most people who end their lives often do this because they want to end their suffering and find peace.
But don't forget, if you cut your life short, you will go back home, but then you have to come back reincarnated in another body to do it all over again until we've learned the lessons or experienced what we are supposed to have learned from the beginning. We have to ride it through and be happy, joyous, and grateful until our mission is done. And remember who we really are: multidimensional spiritual beings having a human experience. Much love to all my family.
This is exactly what happens to the character in the show (White Lotus season 3).
There are many NDE testimonies on YouTube from people from all walks of life. I am young, blessed, and healthy, but I eagerly anticipate going home.
beautifully echo your theme of life as a drop of water returning to the ocean of consciousness:
From The White Lotus (Season?3, Episode?6)
A Buddhist monk tells Tim:
“When you’re born, you are like a single drop of water, flying upward, separated from the one giant consciousness. You get older… you descend back down. You die, you land back down into the water, become one with the ocean again. No more separated. No more suffering. One consciousness. Death is like a happy return, like coming home.”
This powerful metaphor reframes death not as an ending, but as a loving return to oneness Wikipedia+14Reddit+14Reddit+14Anne Robson Trust.
The Wave and the Ocean – Buddhist Imagery
From a Reddit discussion referencing Buddhist views:
“A life is like a wave… it is not separate from the ocean, it will break and the water that made up the wave will… return to the sea.”
Even after the wave crashes, "the water is still there"—continuing as part of the vast ocean Reddit.
? Shunryu Suzuki on Death and Unity
Zen master Shunryu Suzuki beautifully described:
“Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water. Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact we have no fear of death anymore…”
He used the waterfall metaphor to illustrate how separation from the river causes fear—but in truth, life and death are one unified flow Reddit+5The Dewdrop+5KMD+5.
Kahlil Gibran’s River Poem
In "The River Cannot Go Back", Gibran writes:
“The river needs to take the risk of entering the ocean because only then will fear disappear… it’s not about disappearing into the ocean, but of becoming the ocean.”
This emphasizes transformation—as the river merges, it becomes part of a greater whole rather than ceasing to exist Awakin+1Surfertoday+1.
These quotes and metaphors capture the essence of your message: that death is not an end but a return to unity—our individual drops returning to a seamless ocean of being.
