Source text - English Dealing with Fear
Posted June 11, 2014
Not everyone is ready to talk with you about dying. We have to honor all of our individual differences. Years ago my father was about to have a minor surgery, and the night before, I visited him in the hospital. No operation is minor when you’re eighty years old. We had a nice visit. I had my jacket on, and I was halfway out the door when Dad called me back.
“Just in case things go wrong, is there anything I should know?” he asked.
I went back to his bedside and said, “All I can tell you is, as good as this is, that is going to be better. And wherever you go, I’ll be there.”
Dad said, “Great, that’s all I wanted to know. See you later.”
For many of us, the thought of death, thinking of when we or someone we love is going to die, keeps us from being here now. When will we die? How will we die? What will happen after we die? What will happen to our loved ones? What about all the things we hoped to accomplish? These deep fears and anxieties about our survival keep us from living fully in the present moment.
Most of us are convinced that we are our egos, which is who we think we are. The ego is part of our incarnation. It dies with the body, which is why we are so afraid of death. Death scares the hell out of who you think you are, especially if you think you are this body. Being around death forces you to open to a deeper part of yourself. The shadow, especially the shadow of death, is the greatest teacher for how to come to the light.
Translation - Spanish Trato con el Miedo
(Fragmento del articulo de RAM DASS)
No cualquiera está listo para hablar acerca de morir.Tenemos que honrar nuestras diferencias individuales. Años atrás mi padre estaba por tener una cirugía menor, y la noche anterior, lo visité en el hospital. Ninguna operación es menor cuando tienes ochenta años. Tuvimos un encuentro agradable. Ya tenia mi chaqueta puesta y estaba en medio de la puerta cuando me pidió que regresara.
“Solo en caso de que las cosas vayan mal,¿hay algo que yo deba saber?” preguntó.
Regresé al lado de su cama y dije” Todo lo que puedo decirte es ésto, va a ser mejor. Y donde quiera que vayas, estaré alli”
Papá dijo, “Perfecto, eso es todo lo que quería saber. Te veo luego.
Para muchos de nosotros, la idea de la muerte, pensar acerca de cuando nosotros o alguien que amamos va a morir, nos impide de estar aquí ahora. ¿Cuando moriremos? ¿ Cómo moriremos? ¿Qué sucederá después que morimos? ¿Qué sucede con todo lo que deseamos alcanzar?
Esos temores profundos y ansiedades acerca de nuestra supervivencia nos alejan de una vida plena en el momento presente.
La mayoría de nosotros estamos convencidos de que somos nuestros egos, lo cual creemos que somos.
El ego es parte de nuestra encarnación. Muere con el cuerpo, y es eso lo que nos provoca temor a morir.
La muerte asusta a todo el que tu crees que eres, especialmente si tu piensas que eres este cuerpo.Estar cerca de la muerte te fuerza a abrir una parte más profunda en ti mismo. La sombra, especialmente la sombra de la muerte, es el más grande maestro de como llegar a la luz.
