Death is not the end.  Yes, of course, it is a definition of the end of the functioning of a physical body, but do not equate that which animates the body with the body itself.  The body is the outer covering, the temporary suit for the Spirit that lives eternally in all things.  For a while, Spirit becomes a soul, and the soul needs a form with which to experience life in this reality you call being human.  But the soul is not harmed when the body no longer functions.  The soul continues shining as the expression of God.  Yes, God.  Call it what you wish, but all you see and know is the self-same expression, for all arises from one Source, one Field of Awareness.  Yes, even the body.  It is a long lineage of love reaching through multiple levels of being.  Are you beginning to understand why you are so very loved and why you cannot die?
