Death Is Not a Farewell but an Awakening From a Dream

The hardest question, gently answered

Few things frighten us like death — the letting go of everything we own, everyone we love, every identity we carry. *Nature of the Divine* spends its final chapter, *Farewell*, facing this fear head-on, and offers one of its most tender lines:

"A man who knows his soul always remembers that death isn't a farewell but an awakening from a dream, as he learned by himself through his own divine soul."

Death as waking up

The book's entire vision of the self prepares us for this. If the self is "an illusion of the soul, body and mind" — a dream of thoughts — then death is not the end of the dreamer, but the end of the dream. The soul, the book insists, is eternal:

"The soul that is eternal, unlike the body and mind, transcends into the future over evolution, where the soul lives once again in another body."

So the self that fears death is the part of us that never truly existed as a fixed thing — it was always a pattern of thoughts. Letting go of the pattern is not annihilation; it is returning to the deep truth beneath it.

Why we fear it

The book is compassionate about our sadness:

"Quite normal it is for someone to be sad about death in fear of leaving everything he owned, but won't be when he realises that he was never born and was an illusion made by his soul, body and mind."

The fear is real but based on a mistaken premise — that we were ever separate, permanent, and fully "real" in the way we imagine. When we see through the illusion, the fear loosens.

The duty of the self

And so the *Farewell* redefines what life is *for*:

"The duty of the self is nothing but to preserve the soul with meditation, keeping the mind in front of the soul and guarding his heart from sins."

We are here to serve the soul — to keep the mind clear, to keep the heart gentle — so that when the dream ends, we wake without terror, into the divine.

Live so that farewell is a homecoming

A man who knows his soul, the book says, "misses his own home, which is his own body and soul." Death, for such a person, is not exile but return.

This is not morbid. It is the deepest freedom: if death is an awakening, then we are invited to live each day as a vivid, loved dream — knowing that the ending, however it comes, is a return to the light.

This reflection is a companion to Nature of the Divine by *Alfas B* — a spiritual philosophy book on consciousness, the soul journey, and inner peace. When an article like this resonates, the full journey continues in the book.
