From black dust to celestial bodies
I discerned the secrets of the wisest words and deeds.
I avoided deceit, untangled all the knots,
Only I could not unravel the knot of death.
Avicenna

Remembering that I will die soon is the most important tool that helps me make difficult decisions in my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in the face of death, leaving only what is really important. Remembering death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have any reason not to follow your heart.
Jobs Steve

The first sign of the beginning of knowledge is the desire to die. This life seems unbearable, the other seems unattainable. You are no longer ashamed that you want to die; you ask to be transferred from the old cell, which you hate, to the new one, which you are just beginning to hate. There is also a remnant of faith that during the journey the chief will accidentally pass along the corridor, look at the prisoner and say: “Don’t lock this one up anymore. I'm taking him with me."
Kafka Franz

Since we do not know what death is, it is illogical to be afraid of it.
Socrates

: Aurelius Marcus Antoninus

Death has nothing to do with us - when we exist, it does not exist; when it exists, we no longer exist.
Aurelius Marcus Antoninus

Death before us is something like a picture on the wall of a classroom depicting the battle of Alexander the Great. The whole point is to overshadow the picture with your actions in this life or completely extinguish it.
Kafka Franz

Death is terrible, but even more terrible would be the knowledge that you will live forever and never die.
Chekhov Anton Pavlovich

Death is probably the best invention of Life. She is the cause of change. She clears away the old to make way for the new.
Jobs Steve

Old age is just disgusting. I believe that it is ignorance of God when he allows people to live to old age. Lord, everyone has already left, but I still live. Birman died too, and I never expected this from her. It’s scary when you’re eighteen inside, when you admire beautiful music, poetry, painting, but it’s time for you, you haven’t managed to do anything, you’re just starting to live!
Ranevskaya Faina Georgievna

He is lying who claims that he is not afraid of death. Every person is afraid to die; this is the great law of sentient beings, without which all mortal beings would soon be destroyed.

Immortality consists of working on something eternal. Renan J.

Living is the same as playing the violin in a restaurant, which you picked up for the first time. Butler S.

In life all things are different from each other, but in death they are all the same.

Since from above the path is indicated for mortals,

Life is such a rare blessing, and death is so easy to achieve. Who came up with this idea - to spend a hard-won life waiting for death to come so easily? Violate your feelings and nature in order to lure fame? This is worse than death for us! Wanting to exhaust to the bottom all the pleasures of our only life, to experience all the joys of these years, we are only worried that an overfilled stomach does not prevent us from drinking plenty; so that the loss of strength does not prevent one from indulging in carnal pleasures to the fullest. Neither bad fame nor danger to life saddens us. Yang Zhu

Distribute your life wisely: not as chance dictates, but so that there is both benefit and pleasure. Without respite, life is painful, like a long journey without hotels; the variety of knowledge makes it enjoyable. Use the first stretch of the path in a good life to talk with the dead: we are born for knowledge and for self-knowledge, and books, serving us faithfully, make a person out of a person. Carry out the second stage with the living: notice and examine everything beautiful in the world. Not all the best is found in one country: Our universal Father distributed the dowry to different lands, and it may turn out that the ugly girl is richer than everyone else. The third stage is all for yourself: the highest bliss in reflection. Gracian y Morales

Although human life has no price, we always act as if there is something even more valuable. Saint-Exupery A.

How to take care of your life? Don't interfere with yourself, don't stop yourself. Live freely, that's all. Let the guys listen to what they want; allow your eyes to look at what you want; let your lips say what you want; allow the body to rest as it pleases; allow your heart to think the way you want; thought wants freedom, and to interfere with it means not to let it move forward.

The main rule in life is nothing in excess. Terence

“Pity each other during life, leave each other after death” - there is truth in this ancient proverb. “To feel sorry for each other” is a willingness to give rest to the tired, to feed the hungry, to warm the cold, to find a way out for those who have reached a dead end. “To leave each other” - these words do not mean not to mourn the deceased, but about not dressing him in patterned brocade, not putting pearls and jade in his mouth, not making sacrifices, not placing shiny vessels. Yang Zhu

We should not be afraid of death, but of empty life. Brecht B.

They exist on earth to love goodness and beauty and to give free rein to all desires, if they are noble, generous and reasonable. France A.

The art of living long: living with dignity. Two things quickly finish a person off: stupidity and debauchery. Some lost their lives because they did not know how to preserve it, others because they did not want to. Just as virtue is its own reward, so vice is its own punishment. He who hastens to live in vice perishes quickly and in both senses; He who hastens to live in virtue will never die.

Oh, I want to live madly: To perpetuate everything that exists, To humanize the Impersonal, To embody the unfulfilled! Blok A. A.

Man's life is short and powerless; A merciless and dark fate is slowly and inexorably falling on him and his entire family. Not noticing good and evil, recklessly destructive and omnipotent matter follows its inexorable path; a person condemned today to lose what is most dear to him, and tomorrow to go through the gates of darkness himself, can only cherish, until the blow is struck, the lofty thoughts that illuminate his short days; despising the cowardly fear of a slave of fate - to worship a shrine created by his own hands; without fear of the power of chance, to keep the mind from the senseless tyranny that dominates his external life; challenging the inexorable forces that for the time being endure his knowledge and his curses, to hold the world on himself, like a tired but not giving up Atlas. To hold - despite the unconscious force crushing everything in its path - the world created by his ideals. Russell B.

Every person carries in the depths of his “ego” a small cemetery where those he loved are buried. Rolland R.

Only he who lives does not live for himself alone lives. Menander

Live like this, and your life will be joyful until the day you die. This is what I call taking care of your life. If you begin to relentlessly curb yourself and live in sorrow and worries in the name of longevity, then live even a hundred years, a thousand years - this is not what I call caring for your life. Yang Zhu

Life is what people strive most to preserve and protect least. Labruyère J.

Don't start life where you have to end. Others will rest at the beginning of the journey, leaving work until the end. No, first - the main thing, and there will be time - secondary. Another would like to win before the battle. There are also those who start with the least important things in their studies, and leave the most revered and useful knowledge for the end of their lives. And some began to make a fortune when they were on their last legs. In life, as in learning, method is important. Gracian y Morales

Life receives its riches from the world; love gives her the price. Tagore R.

When a person does not know which pier he is heading towards, not a single wind will be favorable for him. Seneca

Many die too late, and others die too early. The teaching: “Die on time!” will still seem strange. Nietzsche F.

A person will not become free until he overcomes the fear of death. But not by suicide. You cannot overcome by giving up. To be able to die, looking death in the eye, without bitterness. Camus A.

The one who must die, whose death pity will not prevent, dies. Whoever cannot live for life, there is no need, there is no point in regretting his death. Gorky M.

The number of days we have lived will never force us to admit that we have lived enough. Seneca

We don’t get a short life, we make it that way; We are not poor in life, but we use it wastefully. Life is long if you use it skillfully. Seneca

In the depths of your hopes and desires lies a silent knowledge of the beyond; and, like seeds sleeping under the snow, your heart dreams of spring.

Death is not the enemy of life, and it does not mean its end, it only brings life to a beautiful peak. Life continues after death. It was there before birth, it will continue after death.

- Rajneesh Osho “Death is the greatest deception”

Death is birth

« Death- a great mystery. She is the birth of a person from earthly temporary life into eternity. When performing the mortal sacrament we we put aside the rough shell - the body and a spiritual being, subtle, ethereal, we move into another world, to the abode of beings similar to the soul. This world is inaccessible to the gross organs of the body..” - St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) “The Word on Death”

When a person will leave the body, be freed from everything earthly, he will clearly see the size of the sin that he committed. But nothing can be corrected, and responsibility cannot be avoided. And over the course of a lifetime, so much can accumulate that a person will not be able to rise from the quagmire he himself created.

If a person has done good deeds during his life, then his energy is positive, it lifts the person’s clot of energy upward, and they say: he has gone to heaven.

"Death is the final destination for us all. No one has ever been able to escape it. This is how it should be, because Death is probably the best invention of Life. She is the reason for change. She clears away the old to make way for the new. .......Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't fall into the trap of dogma that tells you to live in other people's thoughts. Don't let the noise of other people's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you really want to become."
- Steve Jobs

“The fourth protective meditation for your psychological benefit is to contemplate the approach of death. The teachings of Buddhism emphasize that life is uncertain and death is certain, that life is contingent and death is certain. Life has death as its goal. There is birth, illness, suffering, old age and finally death. These are all aspects of the process of existence."
- Mahasi Sayadaw

Man is immortal through knowledge. Knowledge, thinking is the root of his life, his immortality.

Love destroys death and turns her into an empty ghost; it turns life from nonsense into something meaningful and makes happiness out of misfortune.
- Tolstoy L.N.

"The memory that I'm going to die is the most important tool that helps me make difficult decisions in my life. Because everything else - other people's opinions, all this pride, all this fear of embarrassment or failure - all these things fall in front of death, leaving only what is really important. The memory of death is the best way to avoid thinking that you have something to lose. You are already naked. You no longer have any reason not to follow the call of your heart. Pride, fears, grievances and failures - everything they fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."
- Steve Jobs

Knowing that I could die at any moment is the main tool that helps me make important life choices. Because almost everything in the world: passive expectation, pride, fears, resentments and failures - they all fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the teacher calls the butterfly.
- Richard Bach, "Illusions"

This dream you call the world is not a problem; your problem is that you like some things in this dream, and some things you don’t. When you see that a dream is just a dream, then your task will be completed.

"Love is the face and body of the Universe. It is the connecting tissue of the Universe, the material from which we are created.

Exercises for seeing the human aura."

When we understand our role on Earth, even the most modest and inconspicuous, then only we will be happy. Then only we will be able to live and die in peace, for what gives meaning to life gives meaning to death.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery (06/29/1900 - 07/31/1944) - French writer and professional pilot. Participated in World War II. Died while performing a combat mission.

"Who are we? Why are we here on Earth? Where are we going? Why was I born, why was I given this life, where will I go after death and what do I need to do in this life?
Each of us, somewhere deep in our souls, feels that we were born for something very important. Only, not all of us manage to live our lives in such a way as to understand and fulfill our true purpose in this life. Knowing that we truly belong to something higher gives us hope and peace, giving us not just refuge from conflict, but union with the universal mind. One day our long journey will come to an end and we will reach the final stage of enlightenment where everything is possible."
- Michael Newton - Ph.D., Hypnotherapist, Journeys of the Soul, 1994

With the evolution of man as an object of the noosphere, conditions become quite real when the “inner plan” of man, as a result of evolution and, due to the “irreversibility of the polar vector of development,” must move into a qualitatively different, higher, from the point of view of the form of life, state, free from slavish dependence associated with food, and therefore the destruction of living things in nature. Here is what V.I. Vernadsky writes about this: “... did the idea of autotrophy of humanity and the desire for this as a geological phenomenon have predecessors (i.e., by the time a person moves from the state of a heterotrophic substance - living at the expense of another creatures, into an autotrophic state and will use the energy of the sun for life, bypassing living organisms). We must fight for this, since occupying such a position is important for Russian culture..." "...synthesis of food from its elements..."
How modern these words are today!
V. I. Vernadsky's prediction about the possibility of transition from a heterotrophic state to an autotrophic state. ...."death is a temporary evolutionary factor that accelerates the improvement of the body. However, already in the near future, a person, as a result of qualitative changes in his body, can significantly delay old age and death" - V. I. Vernadsky “Autotrophy of Humanity.”

We are born on the physical plane according to the Law of Limitation, and “die” according to the Law of Liberation.

In fact there is no death. There is a transition from the earthly world to the heavenly one. The true homeland of the soul is precisely the heavenly world. Being on Earth is only a small part of your entire existence. Death is nothing but a homecoming, a homecoming. If you understand this, you will stop being afraid of death. Life and death are just milestones on the long path of the soul’s existence. The change of seasons shows us that everything repeats itself, everything is reborn again and again. Winter is not the end of nature's existence. Then spring will come and nature will be reborn. Likewise, death is not the end of your existence. This is just one of his milestones.

Often For the soul, death is liberation, relief. This is grief for family and friends, this is a professional failure for doctors. And for the soul it’s just a return home.

Long life in decrepitude, illness and infirmity - such torture that death is preferable.
Giving your soul the opportunity to realize itself means prolonging your youth and active life. Unfinished business on Earth can also extend life.

Death is painful if a person has not prayed, meditated or led a spiritual life, it is truly painful to separate from this life because he does not want to surrender to the will of God.

When the body wears out, we die, move from one form of life to another, and then a person exists in other dimensions, in a subtle material form.

Death is not the end. Death can never be the end. Death is expensive. Life is a journey led by the soul. When the wanderer is tired and his life has exhausted itself, the leader tells him that he should take a break or a long rest, and then the journey begins again.

Unfortunately, most of us have wrong ideas about death. We think that death is something unusual, something destructive. But we need to know right now: death is something natural, normal and, to some extent, inevitable.

Death is a way to renew the body and correct the evolution of the soul by changing circumstances. At the human level of development, the soul is not yet capable of independent full existence outside the body. Therefore, up to a certain level of evolutionary development, the soul exists in symbiosis with the physical body.

Thought has endless possibilities, but it is still material. Therefore, be very careful about your thoughts, because the subtlest vibrations remain even after the death of the body.

Our life and our death are one and the same. When we understand this, we will no longer have the fear of death or difficulties in life as such.
- Shunryu Suzuki

Everything in the world grows, blooms and returns to its root. Returning to one's root means tranquility; consonant with nature means eternal; therefore, the destruction of the body does not involve any danger.
- Lao Tzu
