This is the unknown and it exists within each of us in all of our experiences. The blessings from life are as much a part of a dying and death experience and every experience has this reality.<\/p>\n<p>If we can relate that there\u2019s dying and death in all our daily experiences we can have a greater consciousness within our final solitary dying and death experience.<\/p>\n<p>Take the anxiety away and forget about religion, atheism, new age, spirituality, memories, an afterlife, grief, regrets, or any other emotional expectations we have as a connection to our final experience. Our dying experience depends on how willing we are to study ourselves with a completely different awareness. We\u2019re not actually walking into this experience accepting the demise of the physical body and the mind. It\u2019s the taboo very few of us are willing to talk about or address until it\u2019s suddenly thrown upon us. We don\u2019t fully relate to the consciousness from our dying death experiences, but we actually have far more happening for us consciously than what\u2019s previously been understood.<\/p>\n<p>Dying and death have a consciousness that\u2019s very integrated with intuition, consciousness and love that universally binds us together. These all have their origins in the present moment.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all got intuition but how awake we are to this gift is different for everyone. For many it\u2019s just a hunch or a gut feeling while for others it\u2019s far more than that. Our final experience is the solitary journey where every individual is forced to detach from the life that they\u2019ve known. We find this uncomfortable when there isn\u2019t another distraction from a subsequent experience. Understanding this comes through developed intuition.<\/p>\n<p>Every one of us has the ability to expand our consciousness beyond our daily thinking and activities. Unfortunately it\u2019s through our conditioned thinking that we\u2019re indoctrinated to connect dying and death with pain, discomfort and disconnection from life. True consciousness has absolutely no connection with this. We all have the potential to open ourselves to a higher consciousness through our intuitive abilities. Understanding dying and death can be our greatest experience for the freedom of expanded consciousness.<\/p>\n<h2>Book excerpt<\/h2>\n<p>How can death be love?<\/p>\n<p>To really discover the meaning of this we need to understand consciousness. We<\/p>\n<p>are conditioned to intellectualize consciousness through our thinking creating a basic consciousness. We develop this from birth when we\u2019re impressed with the teachings and beliefs of our parents and peers. This helps to condition us in our nationality, culture, education, religion, political beliefs etc., affecting our daily activities and our personal opinions. It creates perceptions and is a consciousness always limited by our experiences. We all operate from basic consciousness but it doesn\u2019t come without attachments. These are evident in the dying experience where we\u2019re forced to relinquish our attachments creating the question \u2018what\u2019s it all been about?\u2019 It is inevitably the end to all we\u2019ve known in this life.<\/p>\n<p>No one grieves their own death and the experience of it isn\u2019t the easy journey we\u2019d all want to embrace. Dying is a solitary path with a detachment process where there\u2019s often an inner struggle as feelings and thoughts no longer have the strength to work through the physical. Throughout our entire life we all acquire various feelings about love but what is the truth of love? Our emotions always have some attachments to love through our experiences, beliefs and conditioning but we are not always aware of this. Proving how death is love in the dying experience can be established when there\u2019s more understanding and consciousness of the detachment process. We all understand love as a feeling, but suppose it is provable how love without attachments to one\u2019s emotional wellbeing is also possible? What is unattached love and how can it be experienced outside the feeling realm? Love in the context of pure consciousness doesn\u2019t have attachments. There\u2019s a far greater consciousness. For the purpose of this book its termed \u2018conscious awareness\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Conscious awareness is gained in life when basic consciousness is transcended. It is accessed through the present moment and doesn\u2019t hold the attachments created through basic consciousness. The present moment is a major factor. Consciousness changes as the present moment becomes more immediate through transition into death. There aren\u2019t any attachments in the present moment and this is where we can begin to connect with the pure consciousness of love. Death and love are thought of as separate experiences but actually aren\u2019t in the final experience. It may be easier to accept if the word \u2018death\u2019 is exchanged for \u2018the present moment\u2019. In death, or the present moment, there is no past, with attached memories, and no future to project into because everything we\u2019ve acquired as attached feelings and thoughts are gone. We\u2019re totally in the present moment where basic consciousness with its attachments can\u2019t exist. Conscious awareness without attachments is a small part of the present moment of pure consciousness. The challenge is to differentiate between basic consciousness and conscious awareness particularly in the dying experience. Dying, if the journey is to be understood does present us with this possibility but it\u2019s doesn\u2019t have to happen in just this experience alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Author Website<\/h2>\n<p>http:\/\/dyinginthearmsofmyself.com<\/p>\n<h2>Best place to buy your book<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Dying-Arms-Myself-Ben-ODonnell\/dp\/0646945920\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449980499&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=dying+in+the+arms+of+myself\">Dying In The Arms Of Myself\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dying In The Arms Of Myself Author Ben O&#8217;Donnell Author Bio Ben O&#8217;Donnell &#8211; I was born in the U.K. and lived in Alaska and currently I am residing in Australia.
