I was at a funeral of a wonderful loving man who after being on many medications got so depressed he took his life. He was a Christian and had a Christian memorial service. My wife was friends with his friends and was invited to sing for worship and then I played guitar with them. It was a super traumatic experience for everyone there. Like people were so angry and upset about death even though they believe in heaven. It's like death is a terrible thing. I stood there completely at peace and unmoved and happy for the guy, since now he gets to figure out his rough life/s in review and I truly know he is just fine.
Then at the end we played a song called "in Christ alone" and with my gnostic/esoteric understanding of death and the true Christ, this song held great meaning for me. "No guilt in life, no fear of death, this is the power of Christ in me." I played with a smile on my face truly knowing a guiltless life and being free from all fear of death. I AM eternal and there is no death only changes from one form to the next.
It is sad to see people who believe and have hope, but don't know. When one truly knows their identity they can be fearless of death and anything else.
