Thinking about death to enlighten your life: “Reminding myself that I’m going to die one day is the most powerful tool I’ve ever found for making the right choices. Because in the face of death, all that’s left is what’s essential.” – Steve Jobs
In writing this text, I was thinking particularly of those who feel their time is running out. Perhaps this is the case for you, because of age or illness. And perhaps you’re wondering:
👉 Do I still have time to make the inner journey I want to take?
👉 Is it too late? Or is it still possible?
💡 The answer is simple: yes, it’s still possible. It’s always possible.
Turning your gaze towards the Source, letting your love flow through you, can be done at any moment. Even at the last minute. And many people have experienced this in the last moments of their lives. Their departure was transformed, transfigured.
As the end approaches, something inside us becomes clearer. Everything that was blurred becomes clear. Our soul speaks louder, with urgency and clarity. It’s as if the fog has lifted, and at last… we know what matters.
🔥 When the useless collapses, the essential remains
Dr. Jeffrey Rediger explains it very well:
“When you face your death, an inner fire burns away the non-essential parts. It reveals what you really want to live, what you have to heal, and sets you free.”
At such moments, the mask falls off. You don’t play anymore. You no longer want to shine, please or succeed. You want to be true. To love. To be at peace.
And it can happen very quickly: in a matter of days, sometimes hours. It’s never too late to live the essential.
🎯 Make this return to the soul your priority
👉 Give it your energy. Your attention. Your heart. Heal your connections-with yourself, with others, with Source. Whether you heal physically or not, it will bring you peace and joy.
Here are two concrete ways forward.
📖 1. Let yourself be touched by the stories ofNDE
Near-Death Experience testimonies are true guides to light.
🎧 Listen to them.
📺 Look at them.
📚 Read them.
And above all, let them resonate with you.
Return again and again to those who give you the most joy. They’ll help you open up to that other dimension. Especially if you struggle with guilt or forgiveness. For many stories tell us this: “There is no judgment. There’s nothing to be forgiven for. We are loved, totally, no matter what.”
🧘♀️ 2. Get back to basics (and to you)
Immerse yourself in these simple, powerful keys:
- 💗 Open yourself to infinite love and let it flow through you
- 🌿 Give yourself peace and quiet to hear his voice within you
- 💭 Let go of the desires that exhaust you and open yourself up to true Desire
- 🌑 Love yourself unconditionally, even with your flaws
- 💞 Let love flow through you and join the current
- 🌍 Feel your unity with all living beings
- 👁️ See others as rays of light, beyond the veils
- 🤝 Learn to love… and let yourself be loved
- ✨ Forgive yourself, forgive others, ask for forgiveness if necessary
- 🎁 Remember: the meaning of life is to be happy by loving each other.
Take the time to read all this at your leisure.
💬 What moves you most?
💬 What’s calling you right now?
💬 What do you want to do today?
🌺 3 types of questions to go a step further :
🎉 Celebrate what you have experienced:
- What are you grateful for?
- How can you celebrate that?
- Would you like to say thank you to someone, even symbolically?
💔 Mourning what was not :
- What would you like to have experienced?
- How do you feel when you think about it?
- What gesture (even symbolic) could you make to let go of this regret?
🕊️ Lighten your load:
- Do you have something to forgive yourself for?
- Forgiveness to give? To ask for?
- Is there an action, even a simple one, that could set you free?
🫶 Welcome everything you feel
You may feel :
- of guilt,
- impotence,
- or immense fear.
It’s okay. Welcome these emotions, without running away from them. But don’t make them your last word.
Remember: You are a soul. You are a spiritual being in a temporary body. You are a part of Source. Love is your deepest nature.
You don’t have to do anything to “deserve” it. Just open yourself to it.
🌞 You’re not alone. Never.
The energy of love that animates you wants your peace. It’s there, ready to act, if you open the door.
And this Source… looks at you with joy, with tenderness, with wonder. Not as a judge. Not as a stern schoolmaster. But as a divine parent who never stops loving you. Much more than you can imagine.
✨ Do you still have doubts about your light?
So think back to all the good you’ve given in your life. Even the little things.
🌱 A gesture, a word, a look…
All this could transform the life of someone, who in turn passed it on to others. And so on, like an infinite wave.
You’ve already made the light shine. Even if you can’t see it yet.
🌈 If it’s soon the end…
Know one precious thing: you won’t be alone. Someone will come with you – a loved one, a guide, an angel. And as soon as your heart stops beating, the suffering will stop too.
You’ll come home. You’ll be reunited with those you’ve loved. And you’ll bask in the love and peace from which you were born.
Because you’ve never been apart. You’ve just forgotten who you are… for a moment.
