Death and Transcendence

Death and Transcendence

There's a famous quotation from the Scriptures that no one from my generation could have missed even if they regularly played hooky from Sunday School. "For everything, there is a season. A time to be born, a time to die."

Number 1 for the Byrds in 1965.

It talked of the inevitability of it all. Young, old, rich, poor, fat, thin, bald, hairy, super model or superintendent ... we all will eventually meet our Maker.

Today on Healing Through Consciousness, Death and Transcendence. I'm Richard Lloyd Jones. And just to reassure you, there's a heavy portion of transcendence and even hope in what is normally a subject non-grata in most conversations.

Our radio program is coming to you by Podcast now ... our foray into Internet Radio on hold for a number of reasons, principally because of the nature of the consumption of information these days. People like you want to be free to download and listen at your leisure, in iPods and mp3 player, so listening to live radio is not the first option for people.

When I first conceived the idea of doing a radio program with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco (insert link: http://www.trilogiaanalitica.com.br/site_new/claudia_pacheco_ingles.html) from the International Society of Analytical Trilogy (insert link: http://www.trilogiaanalitica.com.br/site_new/sita_ingles.html), my idea was to offer a safe place where people could call and really get help. People calling in and getting their difficulties and problems treated was my idea. I wanted like a call-in radio psychology show, only with the most advanced psychology on the planet being used to provide therapy and assistance.

So now, with a Podcast, that's more difficult. But I'd still like to bring that aspect to our show. So I've set up a special email address to take your questions and concerns - joneshealing@gmail.com (insert link: mailto:joneshealing@gmail.com)

And I'm also available on Skype to tape questions live from you for our program ... healingthroughconsciousness is our Skype name - and I would like to invite you to contact me if you want something specific to be addressed. You'll find much wisdom and therapeutic value to analysis by Analytical Trilogy (insert link: http://www.trilogiaanalitica.com.br/site_new/analytical_trilogy.html).

Our program today is a great example, because how can you be uplifting talking about death? And yet, many have had profound things to say about the subject. "How terrible when I come to die to find out I had not lived," said Thoreau. "Death is not the greatest loss. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live," said Norman Cousins.

We were prompted to enter the subject from a heartfelt email we received. And the conversation that transpired with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco was illuminating and even exciting.
