- Death can only seem to happen in delusion.
- Death is unreal. The end of unreality is not real.
- Death seems to occur only in the delusion of being separate from Divinity/God/Source.
- When someone seems to die, they cease to appear externally. This nonevent is an opportunity to realize that their true nature and true self is always directly available through gnosis. In some cases, this eternal nature and self may also be accessed through subtle perception.
- In Supreme Enlightenment, the body is not cast off. Instead, the body is transcended and disappears when it serves no further purpose.
- The root of the death delusion is the denial of Divinity/God/Source.
- Death is transcended when the root of the death delusion is transcended.
- The total realization of the impossibility of death is the total transcendence of all inclination to deny Divinity/God/Source.
