Part 1
For us, death -- even as we "learn to live" in its fearsome shadow -- seems to mark the end of all that we have known; a looming "last show" when the theatre will be closed, and the final curtain drawn. But, there is another kind of death; and it is the end of fear: rebirth realized in the voluntary sacrifice, and concurrent death of the "knower".
Part 2
We will know that death is not the end of life only when, and as we become aware of it for what it is in reality: a temporary stage of life in transition... required for (our) rebirth.
Part 3
We are all born under a great Law of Time that states all things must pass. The question is can we remain present, "be there"... even as all that seemingly proves our existence vanishes from sight. To realize what is timeless, we must bear witness to the passage of all things created in time... including all that we become, and in every moment thereafter.
