Celebration of Life<\/p>\n
I was taught to mourn and grieve.<\/p>\n
Birthed into the physical world, with a goal of transitioning back into consciousness is frown upon.<\/p>\n
I was taught the gates of heaven would not be open to me.<\/p>\n
Released into the purest from of energy as the dirt is thrown into a shallow grave.<\/p>\n
I was taught to feel helpless and defeated.<\/p>\n
Transcended into light and divine connection to the next life.<\/p>\n
I was taught separation of the spirit and body do not exist.<\/p>\n
