The subject of death is one I don't want to think much about.  My fear based consciousness kicks in and that is the result.  But God is good; he is love.  The presence of fear belongs someplace else.  Changing consciousness to true and positive thoughts is the state of mind I desire.  I do not accept fear.  I reject it.  God has not given us a spirit of fear.  His ideas about death are new to me.  They are different than the traditional Christian idea of the nature of death.  At any rate, my objective is to read his thoughts with an open mind.  A closed mind allows no thoughts in other than those that agree with what I already "know."  An open mind is necessary for change.  Keeping my mind open to good thoughts renews my mind and makes my life better.
