“No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
— Steve Jobs (1955 - 2011)

Although we are eternal beings who cannot die and even though in truth there is no death, to say: ‘Death is nothing!’ would belittle its significance. What we earthlings perceive as death, when someone departs from this plane, is but a change and a transformation into a different state of life, which every soul has to undergo at the end of each lifetime. I believe that eventually everybody will reach the level of awareness where they can accept that this is so; we shall thus save ourselves a great deal of pain and suffering.
‘When humankind fully recognises its birthright, you will no longer know war and be subject to disease and poverty, and you will overcome death. The Christ within you will have mastery over all the atoms of your physical body … The powers of the spirit will be so developed that a person will be able to read at a glance the thought of his or her companions … but no-one will be entrusted with that gift who cannot treat it with reverence. Hence you will understand the great need for spiritual growth before the finer gifts [of the spirit can be] are granted. With the increasing growth of selfless love, you will find the vision, the perception of spirit, the power to heal – all the gifts which were demonstrated by the miracles of the Master Jesus [which the Universal Christ worked through him, as indeed in the fullness of time He will also do through each one of us].
This is what is in store for humankind: the final and complete overthrow of death. There is no death; there will be no death. We hear you ask: ‘Do you mean no death of the physical body? That is against nature!’ We mean no death, as you know it today, but a transmutation of the [atoms of the cells of the] physical vehicle into the higher [vibrations], so that there will be no decay.’
