Existence - must be understood as a continuum

07/28/2012

In a way, death does not exist; it is contained within life; it is simply a change of level, a change of clothing, to take us forward in our understanding of life. With every new role, actors change costume as well as partners, and this new part teaches them something more about themselves and about others. Well, with us it is the same: we cannot keep playing the same part forever, and after a time we must leave the world’s stage. We call this stage exit ‘death’, but actually there is only uninterrupted life. The actor is still alive after the show… We have to become accustomed to seeing existence as a continuum. Humans have a bad habit of drawing boundaries everywhere: between the spiritual and the material, between waking and sleeping, between life and death… No, existence is all one.
