What does death mean to you? Does the idea of not existing ever cross your mind and if so, does it frighten you? Have you ever had an experience that has made you appreciate your life more? Has there ever been a time that has made you realize how beautiful life is? What makes life so special?


when i think about death i think about what happens after u die wher do u go what happens to your spirit i think You decide when your soul is going to go back to the ether. It’s not random. You don’t just get hit by a bus or get cancer or slip in the shower. On a soul level you make the decision as to when you’re going to go home. You generally do this after you’ve fulfilled the course outline for your life, the one that your higher self has been hanging on to. If you’re lucky, you’ve fulfilled all the tasks on your “to do” list. If life overwhelms you, then perhaps you’ve decided to end it all prematurely. But most people go home when the time is right. You don’t have to decide how you die, just that you are going to and the universe takes care of the rest. So, you decide the when and the universe decides the how. When someone you know dies, take comfort in knowing that it was a choice.

Who is the most important person in your life? Describe them and their relationship to you. Why are they so important to you? Do they know that you feel this strongly about them? What would your life be like without them (describe in detail). Are you as important to them as they are to you?

The one person who is most important to me is my brother because he was ther to take care of me when my mom was at work and he would take me to the beach with all his friends even though i was only 7 he would take me evry where with him with out him i would never had any fun and i would have had a baby sitter he would take me to taco bell late like at 3 in the morning

Another reason why he is so important to me is because without him i would not have any one to go to when i have a problem any type of problem he always knows what to do.
