Death? (Walking Through Illusion, Thompson)

     In Walking Through Illusion, Thompson asks Jesus if he was afraid of death.  He says, "Death had to be real to be feared.  When I knew death was impossible, I couldn't fear something I knew did not exist."    Pilate, the man who played a role in Jesus' death, was a man seeking power his whole life.  He killed and lorded over people's lives to feel this power that he needed to feel.  What he didn't realize was, "...to participate in a person's death was to kill a body that one God thought informative.  And since everyone is one, he killed a part of himself in the process."     We are all connected.  What you do to someone will return unto you and vice versa.  Pilate gave out death and received death in his soul. 
     When my dad passed 6 years ago I hadn't really experienced death in my life.  I soon began exploration of what death is.  I believe that the spirit is energy and it cannot be destroyed.  I believe my dad's energy still exists.  Since his death, my sister, mom and myself find dimes in the strangest places.  I found one the other day on the floor in the locker room.  This is our sign that he is still around.  He died on the 10th...not sure if that is why but I don't really care why.  All I know is that we have a lot of dimes.  When I think of death in these terms I am not afraid because it is part of the process.  The connection to all exists for me.  What do you believe?
