What do you think? Could it possible that we were born to prepare for our death?

Update:

If you contemplate your leaving here, all else seems to fade away, right?

    My purpose for being born is in living each and every day...not in the dying. The planning for death part makes me think of the big business of funerals, coffins, a place to be buried... I don't see that as a reason to be born.

    I think the reason for death is to look back at our lives before death arrives...to see where we might be and where we might be headed. (we all have different ideals on where we're headed or if we even go anywhere)

    Life is for living.. the purpose being what you see and do, the people you touch in heart and in their lives... life is for appreciating the sunrise and sunsets and all the things each new day brings.

    When I die, you and most here will probably never know... I don't put much planning into it...It's going to be simple, quiet and hopefully...not too hard on those I leave behind.

    I believe we were born (more likely) to live the best lives we can before death comes knocking. I try to see the positive ways I have touched others and lived my life...maybe that is all the preparation needed to die.

    I am constantly preparing and bracing for my passing. I have big plans for this planet. Going to start a new world order. Going to try to create a true societal afterlife. If one already exists, then I'm going to improve it. Going to protect the children on this planet so I don't need to meet most of them before they've lived some life. I will wish to be called "The Black Mother." I'm going to be quite frightening to those who should be frightened... and soothing to those who shouldn't. Sometimes it seems as though I'm biding my time until then.

    Yes. It certainly is part of life; preparing for death.

    No, that would be silly.

    The purpose of the human experience is to learn how to love other entities and to perceive them as the Self. There are higher planes of reality and you may be a wanderer that incarnated here to serve and assist others in the upcoming harvest.

    You were resting in the inert primordial waters when you got bored of inactivity. You concealed your infinitude, crashed out of the ocean of unity and imposed several layers of finity on your Being. You limited yourself so you could experience your Self.

    You really don't remember?

    Yes, in a way...

    Not in the beginning

    but...

    at the end of your life most prepare for death/face it, what you did and how you lived

    you go to yourself for advice

    What can you change to the things you screw up and have done wrong.

    And we all have done wrong, we where here for learning...

    And you do not want again live like that. redoing everything again

    and you will if you do not recognize your shortcomings and mistakes.

    We all want to go to a higher level, dont we?
