This Is What I Truly Believe

Whoa!

Let me say that again with the emphasis that is needed to express how I really feel.

Whoa!

I came as close as ever,

to touching the

River Styx

as anytime in my life.

Twenty years ago I

Flatlined

and I have the medical records to prove it.

This time,

it wasn't so much as I was fighting the disease to stay alive,

I kind of knew I would win that battle,

this time it was when I was recuperating.

I could feel my

Consciousness,

Life Force,

or

Soul

trying to leave my body.

My

Humanity.

I use the word

Humanity

here as a way to define what I call my

Vessel

for

Being

in this

Plane of Existence.

My

Humanity

or

Human Vessel

had to reach out

and hold my

Consciousness

onto itself

or it would have floated along the river to another

Plane of Existence.

I call this river the

River Styx.

But,

unlike the

Greeks,

I don't look as the

River Styx

as being a one way path to

Hades,

but the path that leads us to the next

Plane.

Some see a

Light,

I see a

River

that you float along to the next

Existence.

I knew I was going to beat the disease this time because I have all the machines at home to help me survive.

I have the

Pure Oxygen Machine

that I can quickly adapt as my

Nebulizer.

I have all the

Chemicals

needed for a

COPD Afflicted Person.

The reason I had a battle between my

Soul

and my

Humanity

is the same reason you hear so often,

"He died peacefully in his sleep."

My

Human Vessel

had to hold onto my

Life Force

so it wouldn't slip away while my

Humanity

was weary from the battle with my disease.

Our

Soul

is happy living in this

Plane,

but it is also anxious to go to the next.

Yet,

my

Humanity

knew that I haven't accomplish everything in this

Existence

that I want to.

So it held on so I can accomplish those things.

This is,

You May Not Believe As I Do,

But This Is What I Truly Believe,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

"Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides."

- Lao Tzu -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!

Thanks for reading.

I am still recuperating, so I do not know how much I will be writing the next couple of days. This is the best I have felt in ten days. Thanks for checking in to see if I have been writing. It lifts my Spirit when you do so. Thanks again.
