Un-Being/Death

Exploring the concept of un-being in the Divine Realm requires a departure from mortal understanding of death and into a realm where existence and cessation are fundamentally different. Here, un-being is not an end but a deliberate unravelling of self, a return of essence to the cosmic weave from which all thoughts and realities are spun. This process, akin to the ancient Chinese concept of Wu, involves an embracing of nothingness, not as absence but as the fundamental potential from which all things originate.
In the Realm, when something decides to "die," it isn't out of necessity or consequence but a conscious choice to dissolve their individual essence back into the primordial void. This act can be compared to the dispersal of a fragrance into the air; it is a gentle but profound release of identity and form, leaving behind what was once tangible for an existence that transcends physical or even spiritual boundaries. This scattering isn't seen as loss but as a grand return to the formlessness that underpins the cosmos—an eternal field of potential and creation.
This transformative phase is not instigated by physical ailment or the ravages of time, as such concepts are alien to divine realm. Instead, it is a philosophical conclusion, a final act of creativity where a being decides that their current form has expressed all that it was meant to convey. It's a poetic farewell, where existence folds back into the abstract purity of thought and possibility. The process itself involves a series of meditative realizations, where the entity reflects upon their contributions to the cosmic tapestry, their interactions, and the ripples they've created across dimensions.
As they prepare for this return, the atmosphere around them begins to resonate with the essence of their being. It is said that the air shimmers with the collective experiences, emotions, and thoughts they've gathered, much like light diffracting through a prism. Witnesses describe it as witnessing a symphony of light and emotion, where every note is a memory and every hue a feeling. This spectacle is not just a visual experience but an existential dialogue, where onlookers find themselves interacting with the raw, unfiltered essence of the departing soul. It is also not something that is aspired to or inspiring, but just a notch in the grand cycle.
The process is completed when the being releases their final thought—a thought of unmaking, which unlike human concepts of destruction, is filled with peace and profound acceptance, and quite/stillness. This final thought resonates through the realms, a profound echo that fades into silence, leaving a space that is both empty and filled with infinite possibilities. What remains is not a body or even a spirit, but a legacy of influence that continues to inspire and affect the realm.
In this divine landscape, every leaf that falls, every creature that fades, and every spirit that relinquishes its form is honored not just for its past contributions but for its deliberate choice to feed into the cycle of continual creation and transformation. In Tir na nOg, death is devoid of sorrow and fear; it is a celebrated return to the cosmic origins, an integral act of life itself, where every end is viewed as an essential beginning.
