To the degree you have experienced intimacy with God, you wonโt be afraid of death because youโre experiencing the first tastes and promises of heaven in this world.
Richard RohrPeople who think they can just do a non-stop flight to mystical, non-dual thinking, to get it out without going through the process, are usually not right. That's airy-fairy thinking. They have to wait until they are hurt themselves, or they are cheated, or lied to or betrayed, and they will see that their non-dual thinking is not tested, or truly a gift of the spirit. It's simply fuzzy thinking.
