A Eulogy for (_________name__________): By Rev. John M. Kohlenberger, HHP
My dear friends, Death comes ONLY so that we may experience New Life for Life and Love are EVERLASTING, continuinhg well beyond the grave or any grave happenings!
Thus, Existence is much larger than life, or death, for whether we approach it from human terms, energetic, spiritual, cosmic, quantum or any non-human view, it includes all this and much. musc more! For, death and life fit together like hand and glove; for on a grander scale the one creates the other. Thus there is one to balance and create the other. For all these are states of existence. Conscious identity exists in all states, be they called ''life'', love, light, dark, ''death'', or what ever the term chosen. For consciousness and the existence of God-Goddess are everywhere and every way - every day.
This consciousness, then, which we honor this day, we have called (________name_______). But this one was never totally dependent on physical form, for that consciousness behind and seemingly wihin the life form (some call ''soul'') ''formed'' the physical manifestation that we all knew and loved as it lived in our lives, as we saw it manifest as a physical body here on earth. It was through this body that this consciousness - as we all have - chose to experience this physical universe. This one, then, chose to experience it as a (___life form_____). Other souls have chosen existences as a (choose) human, pet, plant, tree, rock, mountain, continent, planet, star or nebula.
God-Goddess in infinite wisdom and love did not decree that this consciousness should be limited to nothing but the one that we have known, for such a short time. As a marvelous act of creation and re-creation, this conscious energy of Living Spirit must move on to where and what it wants to become and be next. Love, Life, Light, Truth, Beauty and God are continuously creating and recreating through the joy of Being and experiencing life lived and love experienced – beyond contemplation!
Now those who look upon physical life and existence as somehow inferior to some other state may be doing themselves and physical existence a great injustice. One experience is never superior or inferior to another, as all are God given and each one takes the consciousness one step higher in its understanding of its own totality and the totality of All-That-IS (or God). So physical life, as also the spiritual life, is everywhere filled with the universal energy of Love, which is its source. And so it is that, no existence can be inferior to its own composition.
The inner (or Higher) self is quite aware of its own spiritual and physical dexterity as it lives many lives. The body consciousness then understands that its physical existence is dependent on its physical death, and that death will assure yet another physical existence. The drive for survival is, therefor, a drive that leads to death ... and beyond it, for all consciousness understands that it survives through many forms and many conditions, even many dimensions and many universes, as it lives on to experience yet another manifestation of All-That-IS, through all its selves.
Corporal reality, thusly, is a brilliant segment of everlasting life and existence, like a bright star in the night sky. So any one reality is but part of a larger picture forming All-That-IS. And this is why we all have a limited time within any one realm, and yet in death we enjoy the opportunity to live and love, yet another day in yet another way.
And so this day I honor this one as they seemingly have passed from our reality and our physical view. Indeed, they will be seen and love will be exchanged at other times and places by the grace of God and in our love. So it is that some of us will hold this loved one in our prayers and even see them in our dreams. And so we are all enriched by this event, not only by the comming together of all those assembeled here today; old friends, relatives and even enemies, but also as the apparent death and decay of the living matter that this soul formed becomes vital enrichment for other physical life forms. And, so it is that this soul is set free to Live On and on forever and ever.
And, I am told, the Holy Spirit including helpers in light, life, and love that they have received this eternal being to give this one their care, both now and forever more.
Blessings and Peace to you All!
