Mmm its a bit similar to the cat story.
I wonder what is going on?
Do these animals sense something that we don't or can't sense?
Someone more spiritual than I, once said to me that our spirit self knows the physical body's time has come. This impending passing is not always
communicated to the physical being, because they are not prepared to accept the end of earthly life or their physical life has taken them away from
being able to perceive other realms....well something like that!!!
I have been present at a few deaths in my time and have often wondered about the almost calmness of the scene. I have always put it down to the fact
that your life functions are failing and you are drifting from consciousness....like when we sleep....eyelids can be the heaviest things in the world
once a deep drowsiness overcomes us....like on a long drive or flight.
But as time has gone on, I accept the possibility that the self may be readying for the transition...kind of, heard the tally of plus and minus...and
an acceptance of "Oh well I have had a good innings".
Likewise, I have thought about that rambling that seems to sometimes occur prior to passing. I thought a confused mind, failing from the shutting down
of systems, was merely creating a reality / delusion. I have been there when they start to talk, not to you by the side of the bed, but to something
beyond you. They can be talking to lost relatives and loved ones or maybe deceased heroes / celebrities. Could it be that they are really
communicating with these spirits? Do those that have passed congregate around those passing to aid the transition...maybe as guides?
Sort of a "Welcome to the company" shindig?
I am no expert and am commenting from personal experience. People who deal with death every day may see things different. But lordy lord, do I think
about this stuff a lot....
I guess I will only know when it is my time to go...but I am in no rush to find out!!!
