Unraveling the Birth – Death Cycle by Leonard Orr

  • We can do absolutely anything, and the universe says yes.
  • The person has mastered the physical body, then they
    function in the environment totally naturally.
  • Ecc 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in its time.
    He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out
    the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
  • If you believe death is beyond your control, somebody has
    the power to destroy your physical body, something out there in the
    Universe is out to kill you, it’s impossible to walk around in the
    Universe if it’s out there to destroy your body without being nervous
    about it; you are living in a hostile universe. Don’t be surprised if your
    family is hostile.
  • “Mankind has always hated God for putting him in a closed
    Universe, one of which you can’t get out of alive.” – Alan Harrington,
    “the Immortalist”
  • “Death is a grave mistake.” – Stanley Spears, “Stop
    Dying and Live Forever”
  • Your body is your most valuable possession

Alternatives to Physical Death

Astral World

  • Hell
  • Heaven: a symbolic description of the womb. Cf. Reincarnation:
    another method to get back into the womb
  • Purgatory (Catholics): somewhere in-between

Trinity

  • Father: life itself spirit, being, energy, thinker
    Son: His thoughts, the ability to think
    The Holy spirit
  • All things are placed into subjection to the Son
  • “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
    God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God. 
    All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that
    was made…” – John 1:1-14 (Word: a physical symbol for thought)
  • Father materializes the world. Then, he becomes the world.
    The world is as eternal as father unless the Son (thought) destroys it.
  • God loves the world more than Christians
  • If you believe in the Son, you have the power over life
    & death
  • Everybody who dies, dies for the purpose of teaching you
    how death works: everybody is putting their into the message, so you can
    get the message.
  • If you only have the father and son in your consciousness,
    you can only have one reality at a time Cf. Chalk and board
  • Holy sprit (ghost): the ability to materialize stuff and
    stay there: Comfort in the New Testament
  • As long as they can conceive of a smaller particle, especially
    the thought is creative, you can create it, reason is into existence
  • Thought is the smallest particle in the Universe. Cf. The
    Moody Blues’ the Best Way to Travel: “Speeding through the universe /
    Thinking is the best way to travel”
  • The astral world is this world of materializing something
    from pure concept, making it more and more complex, complicated until it
    becomes 3D

The Idea of the Astral World

  • The whole of reality is right where you are, and if you
    don’t find it right where you are in your present physical body,
    destroying your physical body won’t help you one bit, in fact it might
    even make it more deceptive to find because you’ve obviously missed the
    whole point.
  • You’re already in the astral world, so physical death
    won’t move you to a higher place.
  • The only thing that you’ll move you to a higher place is raising
    the quality of your thoughts

Traditional Alternatives

Annihilation

  • “Who ate Roger Williams?” Cf. Apple tree
  • Throw all of your ideas into you as an individual cease to
    exist, have your mind dissolve because you as an individual is just a
    combination of ideas and a combination of physical shapes that compose
    your individual existence.
  • Nirvana

Sleep

Reincarnation

  • You don’t have to go through physical death to reincarnate;
    you can reincarnate by change the concepts that your physical body is
    embodying
  • The body that you come out with will be the same as that
    you have now anyway
  • The value of going through birth death cycle is highly
    overrated.

Resurrection

  • Embalming & six feet under

Possession

  • Seth material: a temporary possession

Rematerialize

Having Children

  • If youthing is inevitable, it would be as bad as aging. If
    you believe aging is inevitable, believing that youthing is inevitable is just
    as bad.
  • People are loyal to the idea that death is inevitable.
  • Don’t try to prove people that they are wrong

Alternatives of the Cells

1.      Reproduced
exactly the same

2.      Reproduced
worse. Cf. Scar tissue (scab)

3.      Reproduced
better

4.      Not
reproduced. Cf. Losing weight

5.      New
cells produced. Cf. Gaining weight

  • Baby is however old the human race is because you have to
    add all those parent’s ages
  • All cells are created new every moment; every 11 month,
    your body goes through a total transformation
  • Man’s face over 40 is his own fault: what his face looks
    like depends on what he spends his evening thinking about
  • Life stream is constantly replenishing your cells with
    life. Cf. A foot in a stream. Your body is constantly dematerializing and
    rematerializing
  • Aging is as wonderful as youthing
  • I am alive now. Therefore,
    my life urges are stronger than my death urges. As long as I continue
    strengthening my life urges, and weakening my death urges, I’ll go on
    living and increasing health and youthfulness.
  • As long as you continue strengthening your life urges,
    you’ll go on living; so long as you continue weakening your death urges,
    they’ll never get strong enough to kill you

Loyalty to Death and How Death Works

  • Basically death works according to family tradition; if
    you want to destroy your physical body, all you have to do is maintain the
    family tradition
  • Death urges are a real psychic entity (complex of ideas that
    are emplaced in your feelings and your emotion), a whole structure of
    thought. You have to break down, invert each idea about death into a new
    idea that contributes your aliveness.
  • Hopelessness, depression, fear, failure – miniature death
    experiences
  • “I’ll live forever, if it doesn’t get too bad.” – complete
    copout
  • The reason that life gets bad is that they are not giving
    up their loyalty to death (death is inevitable)
  • You die, you get sick, you age; then, you create
    symptoms in your physical body that make it socially acceptable for you to
    leave it. Cf. cancer
  • Unpardonable sin against the holy ghost: refusal to give
    up the idea creating negative conditions; to affirm physical (material)
    reality while professing you want to change it
  • Change your mind; change your body automatically: change
    your weight, heal your teeth, and toenails
  • When you parents die, your death urge becomes active
  • When you get into enlightenment, you start practicing the
    truth and self-improvement principles, then you create a safe environment
    for your mind for the death urge come into surface
  • When you let go of death as well as birth trauma, the Universe
    becomes a beautiful and safe place to be
  • “How To Put Death To Death”
  • Because you have conceptualized an idea, doesn’t mean that
    you mastered it.
  • Death is easy to control when you understand it

Three Generalization about Family Tradition

1.      If
you’re a rebel, you’ll outlive your parents; if you’re an extreme rebel, you’ll
kill yourself

2.      If
you’re a conformist, you’ll die before your parents do (They act out to save
their parents from death.)

Or

Die at the same
age their parent of the same sex die

3.      The more enlightened you are, the more active your
death urge becomes if you don’t question the idea death is inevitable. If you
have cast out every negative structure thought except your death urge, that’s
all you think about.

Natural tendency of your mind is to fill your consciousness with goodness; life
is natural, and death is unnatural.
The more enlightened you are, the more power you have. You put more power into
that idea, so it manifests more quickly. You’re using your enlightened power to
kill your physical body.

  • Life itself is eternal,
    and I am life. Therefore, I am eternal. My mind is the thinking quality of
    life itself, and the thinking quality of life itself is eternal.
    Therefore, my mind is eternal. And, my body is the manifestation of
    eternal substance. Therefore, my living flesh has a natural built-in
    tendency to live forever.
  • I have the right to keep
    my physical body as long as the physical universe exists.
  • A rock has more intelligence than people.
  • Affirmation: Choosing your thoughts on purpose, so that they
    contribute to your purposes in life
  • The entire universe
    exists for the purpose of supporting my physical body;
    so that my
    body is a pleasurable place to be
  • Identity switch: transform your personal identity into
    immortality identity. Cf. life insurance, cemetery plot
  • Look at your speech patterns. Cf. being dead right, scared
    to death, laugh to death: catch yourself & weed those things
    out
  • You can bring up death urges on purpose, and destroy it in
    the process of bring it up; you can also turn it off, shut it down, and
    save some for later.
  • Some of the times, you have to take a vacation from self-improvement
  • The mind automatically closes out all information that is
    in conflict with your premises
  • You have the eternal aliveness supporting you, the eternal
    forces of the Universe behind you when you choose physical immortality
  • What about death of animals & plants? When you make
    the total switch into an immortality identity, death becomes your servant.
    Deathists kill each other; immortalists contribute to each other.
  • Death is just an opportunity to destroy forms.

Social Implication

How do you function practically in our culture
deathist-oriented after you’ve mastered the idea of physical immortality?

  • When you relate to people who have the death urge and
    you’re free of it, then there is a point in your communication/relationship
    where you hit the psychic wall, meets crisis. You either have to give up
    your immortalist mentality or get them to give up their deathist
    mentality. You’ll feel the wall in your body. Cf. Red wood trees –
    Indians’ visual apparitions (hallucinations)
