Death Bed

I wonder if the calling of any individuals for particular Last Rites, based on their transition from this body to their spiritual body, is tied to one of their reincarnational selves. In other words, if you are a Pagan, Christian, Druid, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Gnostic, or Atheistic, etc., could your most recent incarnation be someone who was walking with Christ to his crucifixion, a druid high priestess, a Roman soldier, or a 20’s flapper?

What if we are so disconnected with this life, yet still here, that we require specific needs on our death beds? In other words, are we more comfortable, at death, being with a holy person of particular faith so we can more easily cross over? Or does our particular faith during life dictate the circumstances of our death?

Do we choose when we are going to die? I say yes, unequivocally.

The mass murderer on death row chose actions that spoke to them and, by doing so, was condemning themselves to death sooner rather than later. The grandmother of eleven dying with her great-granddaughter in her lap made choices that led her to that point. All valid choices, all ways to die, all by their own design.

Ever wonder how you want to die? Don’t try too hard though! ;)
