1 min · Adam G.
Questions 81–86
81Why does death exist?
Finite embodied life has limits.
82Why are we afraid of death?
Consciousness resists the destruction of the form through which it presently knows itself.
83What is death?
The end of embodied life. The Godward Way places ultimate hope in God rather than in the permanence of the body.
84What happens after death?
The Godward Way entrusts the final destiny of consciousness to God rather than claiming certainty about its mechanics.
85Why does everything end?
Because finite forms are temporary.
86What survives us?
Ultimately, whatever God preserves.
