I’m not afraid of death. It is not because I believe we will all meet again after we die, it is not because I have hope in an afterlife in a strange heaven with streets of gold and extravagant mansions, I don’t. I’m also not interested in that heaven at all. (1)

I believe we die and our body ceases to exist. I don’t know what happens with our consciousness and quite honestly I don’t care much. I’m not afraid of death because I’m committed to life.

There are two ways of spending our time here on earth, we can spend our days reacting to our trauma, surrendering to our insecurities, unconsciously accepting the social conditionings we were brought up in, incessantly repeating trauma cycles in our lives.
(3)

Or we can learn to live, we can awaken and start living the life we were created for. We can heal, question, create new brain patterns, challenge our upbringing, admit our insecurities, own our unhealthy patterns, and start walking truly freely to be us.

I’m committed to living my my life without regrets, without saying yes or no because I feel pressured by shame, guilt or fear. I spent my first 30+ years as a prisoner of my trauma, a prisoner or religion, a prisoner of fear.

Resurrection to me meant letting that self die, awakening to my true self. It meant letting go of the expectations others had of me, letting go of things that don’t serve me, letting go of religion, church buildings, of a neat faith that provided answers to things uncertain (6)

I’m not afraid to die because parts of me have died before and it was in dying that I’ve come to life. Today I don’t celebrate a Rabbi from the 1st century coming back to life so my sins could be forgiven by a deity that demands blood to be in relationship with me.

There is nothing to celebrate about that in my opinion. Today I celebrate a man who wasn’t afraid of death because he lived his life faithful to who he was created to be, a man who showed us that it isn’t a physical death what should concern us, (8)

but living our life walking but actually dead. Today I celebrate my own resurrection and the reality that coming alive is possible for us all.
.
Happy Resurrection Sunday friends, may we continue to come alive and live a life of no regrets .
