Past Cremation

(1995)

Living in the dimension of Nirvana (Spiritual Awakening), I can feel the nature of existence and revelation unfolding around me. The power of ‘Eternal Cosmic Consciousness’ is expanding within me, at a rate so rapid and vast in essence that in 1970 at the beginning of my quest for truth, and likewise in 1984, when the spirit of the Cosmic Messenger enlightened my soul with cosmic wonder… I did not conceive how the extent of my newfound insight would grow beyond my 1984 comprehension. I found myself caught up in a dimension of dynamic change which knew no limits, no final truth, forever evolving, adapting and changing. By 2014 I had travelled over thirty years through amazing senses of instinctive awareness, the like of which I never experienced in my youth. Thus unintentionally I became a ‘Spirit of Light’ a ‘Consultant’ on many subjects in the world of ‘Class ‘A’ Manufacturing Logistics and finally outside work in the dimension of life and thereafter, through the transition of ‘Cosmic Philosophy’.

A reality of higher awareness has travelled way past my vision, my quest and my creativity. So has begun a journey for me past cremation. A destiny has been unveiled beyond all my previous understanding, a direction which I can no longer change, for I am committed to follow the path of ‘Living in the Light’ and can never return to my old material obsessions.

Kahlil Gibran described this satori (enlightenment) experience in the best way ever written… “It is an awakening within the spirit; he who knows it, is unable to reveal it by words; and he who knows it not, will never think upon the compelling and beautiful mystery of existence.”

When I first read these words in 1974, I felt a sense of deep awe and enchantment and wondered upon the meaning of Kahlil’s message, for I had never experienced a spiritual awakening outside of the Christian dimension of being born again in 1975, which years later proved to be an illusion.

It was not until 1984 that my spirit began to see the light and lead me into a level of consciousness that would take me past my own previous comprehension; now I know there are no limits to learning past self. Quietly expanding my insight past the limitations of Christian experiences, I now enjoy an inner peace that cannot be overturned or ever pushed away.

So it is… I have learnt to unlearn the inhibitions and fears imposed upon me by misguided societies. I have learned to reject ways of ceremony, tradition, and habit motivated by superstition, fear and blind obedience, strengthened by blinkered mentality, which in reality is simply horse sense, for logic does not exist in ritual when founded upon fear and inhibitions.

I have chosen the right dynamic path, the way of ‘Living in the Light’ by a continuous quest for higher truth and better understanding; a direction which uses pragmatism, empiricism, rationalism, objectivity, creativity and realistic flexibility founded upon dynamic ‘Positive Mental Attitude’ void of negativity and depression. I travel through Tao (Spiritual Awakening), because it gives me wholesome Karma (Result) and frees me of human vanity, thereby enabling me to enjoy true inner peace. Oh how I do love caring, honest, non-violent people of all races. And true to my spiritual convictions, I detest with calm anger waste of life and environment created by evil uncaring self-centred persons. So it is when I leave this planet, I do rightly as nature intended leave space for life to continue its never-ending cycle. This is right and just because cosmic existence is designed that way by its own natural essence.

So with this ‘Cosmic Consciousness’ of peaceful acceptance, I do accept that I must age gracefully, gradually letting go of my youth and highly once fit energy and physical strength. Replacing it with a constantly growing spiritual strength and a new form of energy, one of energic spirit, so vast in dynamics that it flows faster and quicker than I was ever able to run, swim or cycle. A vibrant life of spiritual feeling that lifts me above the clouds and leads faster than the speed of light into the Cosmos, in preparation for eternal life, not heaven or paradise but something far better where something beautiful happens.

Now in readiness for my cosmic journey, I must responsibly will my direction. And so it is after my death, it is my will, my second last request that my body be cremated, and my ashes are thrown to the four winds, upon the land, not upon the sea, for I shall not pollute the waters with my ashes.

I do not want a grave or a permanent container for my ashes. I do not desire a nameplate, or memorial plaque of any kind, however grand or small.

True to my spiritual feelings, I am not interested in the vanities of existence, and the shallow impermanent glories of materialism. Life is for the living and I do not want to be a part of the vanity which consumes land by the dead for burial and fulfilment of sacred obsessions, when such land should be used wholesomely by the living.

It is enough that I have had the privilege of life, however short or long that may have been. The memory of my existence shall fade with the transition of time, as existence cycles its way forward on its never-ending journey, the way life is meant to evolve.

The population of earth is now over 7 billion in 2019, imagine when it reaches 50 billion plus with more graves consuming land which belongs to the living. This insane vanity must end. We must cease burial practice and the creation of headstones and choose cremation as the right thing to do. We need more trees and gardens and we will need more land to help protect and preserve wildlife. We naïve short-thinking people must dynamically change the way we think.

I simply choose to flow with the cosmic beauty of nature in harmony with its reality of life and death. As I was born rising from the dust of antiquity, let it be so written into my epitaph that I returned my ashes to merge with the oneness of Gaia, the way of the Universe, in the stream of cosmic existence and the expanding revelation of truth. In death, I shall simply release my spirit from my soul, giving my light of love and peace unto God of Creation. So life to come can as I did, draw from the ‘Cosmic Reservoir of Consciousness’ and receive the magic, beauty and wonder of God’s love, peace and insight, of which I shall be a part.

As it was meant to be from the beginning of our birth, so let it be for all of us, who choose to travel through Nirvana, to enjoy their Karma, of ‘Living in the Light’.

After death, past cremation, I shall be at peace, for my spirit of light shall be free to wander throughout the universe, and see the wonders of cosmic beauty, which thrives in a seemingly infinite variety of forms.

Returning my spirit to the Godhead, to share insight with life, I shall fulfil my destiny. Something beautiful will happen, as I travel through the source of creation, of cosmic consciousness, transcending past its essence into a new horizon of enchantment, where truth shall reverse its own realisation, and reveal a new dawn of understanding.

In this cosmic consciousness with ‘Blue Light’, I am at peace, as it was written so shall it be.

The time is coming when I shall enter eternity. I shall journey throughout the Cosmos with all the spirits of light who have transcended time, existing forever in timelessness, sharing with new life from the source to the reflection, returning to the source.

Unto all readers…

May peace be within you forever.

This is my last spiritual will and testimony intangibly given to all ahimsa life from generation unto generation, my LAST REQUEST…

Be kind unto each other,

Remember always…

The greatest strength of all is gentleness,

And becomes even more beautiful, when given…

‘Living in the Light’.
