The only certain thing in life is death, but we make every effort to ignore it. We see it from the outside as something that happens to others, but not to ourselves. The fear of death means we live lives that are much smaller than they might be.

“The first thing to be understood about death is that if you have known love, you have known death; if you have known meditation, you have known death. Death does not bring anything new. It is new only for those who have not loved and who have not meditated.”  Osho

The peak experiences of life are all accompanied by the death of who and what we think we are. In love, in meditation, in creativity, our boundaries disappear, and we become part of something beyond the small self – even if only for a moment.

A Matter of Life and Death uses meditation techniques and exercises to move us beyond the mind – beyond belief and superstition – to the experience of our immortality. Sharing with a partner or with the group enhances and supports this process.

While the subject is profound, the process is light-hearted, loving and supportive.

“Meditation is total death, voluntary death. One dies into oneself. Before death comes, the mystic dies. He dies every day. Whenever he meditates, he goes into death … He dies continuously and remains as fresh as dewdrops or lotus leaves in the early morning sun. His freshness, his youth, his timelessness, depend on the art of dying. And then when actual death comes, he has nothing to fear, because he has known this death thousands of times.”  Osho
