I applied to be the director of sales and marketing at a seniors’ residence. I know what will give the residence a unique selling proposition. It’s what would make me ever consider a home, which I’d otherwise refuse to go into due to certain appalling conditions. The primary negative conditions are namely the lack of nutritious foods and gyms. I want to leave this world healthy, not deteriorating from extreme sickness. I went through that with chronic fatigue. The food at a nursing home would either kill me or make me very sick, enduring multiple years of suffering.
So, I’d propose finding alternative means of revenue to add an unlimited supply of fruits and fresh vegetables for the residents. That’s a minimum, as one plate of the garbage they serve would make me sick for three days. And then I’d find a way to turn a room into a gym with weights for seniors. Did we know a 90-year-old senior can develop significant muscle mass, even if previously sedentary? A study showed that people who lift weights can go from being bedridden to a wheelchair, or wheelchair to a walker, or walker to independent walking. The secondary source for this study was the book I read titled Younger Next Year.
I cared for a senior in a nursing home, and she said the food was disgusting. When she was a few days away from dying, she asked me what she should do. I told her to go to the brightest light, although I was an atheist. She nodded, terrified, her pretty eyes wide. Her son advised her not to believe in God, so she followed his advice. To not believe in a God is the worst advice anyone could receive on the deathbed. Her son and I argued, and then I told her about Pascal’s Wager. The famous philosopher Pascal laid out a wager to be entertained when debating whether to believe. If we don’t believe in God, two outcomes may arise: 1. We die, and that’s it (if God doesn’t exist), or 2. We die and go into eternal damnation (if God does exist and we didn’t lead spiritual lives due to rejection of spirituality).
Conversely, if we believe in God, two outcomes may arise: 1. We die and go to heaven (if God exists and we led a spiritual life), or 2. We die good people, having sought a spiritual life (if God doesn’t exist). Considering the above, the rewards are more remarkable if we believe in God. It’s simple game theory for those of us who are analytical atheists. So, my loved senior, who was about to die, nodded her head quickly, comprehending what I said, terror piercing her eyes.
I think seniors need to have that “what happens when we die” discussion not just one to three days before dying but starting ASAP and continuing for the rest of their lives. That goes for all of us. Start developing our spiritual awareness now. Start by watching a movie by Angel Studios called After Death. It has accounts of people who died temporarily and went either to heaven or hell–or both realms, one after the other–before being resuscitated back into this world. They say the experience is more real than anything in this realm.
It’s all about unconditionally loving everyone, with no one excluded, because if there is eternal existence, especially reincarnation, we all will eventually end up in heaven. We all need to help one another get there by loving one another unconditionally. According to The Marriage Foundation, we are all essentially made of pure, unconditional love. So, if we all eventually arrive at heaven where we fully transform into our true essence of pure love, we will never judge anyone, for we all become perfect love. We’ve come to complete missions that culminate in bringing one another, especially ourselves (for we can only truly control ourselves), to that higher consciousness.
There is so much more I need to say on this topic. However, there are gaps in what I know, such as whether the purpose of this realm is to raise the world’s consciousness so that it becomes pure heavenly love for all, ultimately leading to the merging of heaven, hell, and everything in between, back into its original state of pure love and light. And if so, what is the final result for the entirety of consciousness, and how should we return to learning lessons should one of us temporarily fall from grace?
