There is really no such thing as death.

You can think of this analogy. From the point of view of earthly life embodied on this planet, as you make a transition to “death” you are like a star twinkling at daybreak. As the sun slowly rises, the star keeps shining, like it’s reluctant to say goodbye. Then suddenly, poof, it’s gone.

But the star isn’t gone at all. It’s just invisible to us as it gets engulfed by the light, like the light of God wraps the soul in its love.

In reality, that star is still shining there as it has been, and will be for millions of years.

It’s a nice analogy, except the soul itself is eternal.
