The death of death

The fear of death has motivated humanity since it's inception:

As I have come to appreciate them:

The spirit is the potential of all of the energy that provides our consciousness.

The soul is the form of organization of the different types of energies that are involved so as to provide us with a means of (e)motive force as well as information storage.

The self (mind) is the presentation of these energies as transmitted by and through the egoic structures in the material manifestation.

The person is the amalgam and the totality of these different aspects of our beings. How it demonstrates it's presence through the various internal and external factors and structures results in what we perceive as the personality.

Intelligence is the organization (in degree and kind) of these energies and their movement in the ethereal or material plane.

That being the case, death is the state in which:

the spirit remains unchanged, except for those adjustments to its potential that is the result of continued existence.

the soul is placed in "stasis" and contains the record of all events that have occured during "materiality" frozen in time.

the self (mind) no longer being a functional part of the remaining mechanism, ceases to exist.

the person returns to its state of attenuation commiserate with the potential of the energies contained by the spirit, therefore "consciousness" is retained.

the intelligence being the organization of these energies, is altered to accomodate the (re)new(ed) conditions so it is maintained at the ethereal level of existence.

It is the "disconnection" of the soul that acts as a buffer between our infinitely high vibratory rate of existence as spirit and our incredibly dense state of being in the material plane. This buffer interferes with the connection between self and spirit and is the cause for our present memory only being consistent with currently accumulated experiences.

So death is just a transformation and a necessary step in the evolution of our consciously intelligent spirit being.
