I know it so well, my father died of intestinal cancer just this year (86).
And I was asked to help him practice what I preached by my brothers and
mother. His was a good 'certain end of cycle transformation' (CECT).
My mother 82 is doing extremely well.

That is why in so many posts I have talked about conditionality (if...then),
fear and suffering. The dissolution of illusion has to be practiced and
then the suffering will abate as reality and unconditionality comes in.

Yes I had an advantage with all the NDEs. But, my God, did my parents
suffer, while they were also putting me through the pain. When I got to a
certain point in my enlightenment process though and when I found out that I
did not really understand suffering, illusion, guilt, pain, and compassion,
I started an experiment of 13 years (almost destroying myself on all levels
of being) to find out what it all was. Then at the right moment Kundalini
'all of a sudden' kicked in. That had to do also with a point I was trying
to prove, that there is an innate self restoration process built into our
human condition. A process that is able to steer us back to the
unconditionality of love and life eternal.
The dissolution of illusion has to be practiced though, it is the process.
The difficulties in life (kundalini secretively sneaking up on us) help us
in that. The suffering will abate as reality and unconditionality comes in.
Conditionality (if...then), the 'ifs' have to be turned into 'whens'.
Also when we fearfully say "But, what if...?", we have to practice turning
that statement into "What is...?" and then step by step into "THIS IS IT".
Then we eventually know that all this is!
This for now may be a training ground for purging, purgatory (the suffering
halls of shame) but we will rediscover that this is heaven (the celebration
halls of fame). To 'not know' this is hell (the halls of doom) 'thinking'
that doom is forever. Hell is not forever... Hell is 'thinking' that it is
forever. It is just a sentence.
Thus I write :)
Love,
Wim.
