Today I watched an analysis of the work of Apollonius of Tyanaeus. There was a very special person, who lived in the same era with Christ. Philosopher, healer, teacher, or whatever trait you want can work for him! He was a very gifted person, that really the more you look for him, the more you want to learn. Apollonius was influenced by the work of Pythagoras and when asked about death, he confirmed this definition.
"Death exists for no one except in appearance, nor does birth exist for anyone except in appearance.
The turning of essence into nature(material) is considered genesis, while the turning of nature(material) into essence is considered death.
Neither is anything truly born, nor is it ever worn away, only at one time it becomes visible and then becomes invisible.
The first happens because of the thickness of matter, and the second because of the thinness of the essence! Essence, which is always the same and only differs in movement and posture .
For this is necessarily the very nature of change, which does not take place from somewhere outside, but the whole changes in its parts, and the parts in the whole because of the unity of the whole."
...i was wondering about it, the whole day and after that i see your post for your brother!
Indeed, the words of Apollonius are so comforting, but the most comforting for us, the modern humans is that they come in complete identification with modern quantum physics! Really!
Jacey, your brother energy-soul is still out their and you shouldn't be feel sorry!
...with all due respect for the pain of loss(separation)
Thank you for stopping over and leaving a comment.
