death, in particular

Today, we’re talking about the spiritual side of life. Death, in particular.
I mentioned in episode #29 how my Grandmother passed, and I was just in West Palm Beach, Florida celebrating her life with my family. It’s been two months since she passed over, but it was much needed for my family, for my Mom, and for me…
I didn’t even know I needed it, I thought I was good… and I am good! But, death does something to the soul, to the mind. When it happens to someone close to you rather than it happening to someone else like a stranger or celebrity or someone on the internet… when it’s personal suddenly life feels more real. More sacred. More worthy of being here and experiencing life. It makes the hardships make sense. You actually feel grateful for everything you’ve gone through, good and bad.
I got my family and I an Airbnb in West Palm Beach, a beautiful Airbnb with a pool (I love a good pool), but when I first walked into the home and it was just me I was greeted with the smell of my Grandmother. Which is crazy! It’s so weird because how would this random house she’s never been in that has nothing to do with her (at least physically), how did it have the same smell as her and her old house?
It goes to show how strong the spiritual side of life is connected with this physical realm. Like… we truly don’t know everything about this world, this planet, Mother Earth. I don’t even think humans know a blimp about life… we try to, we try to recognize patterns with Astrology and Traditional Western Medicine and Human Design, but we don’t really know except for the things we try to know through experience and our senses; both physical senses (taste, smell, touch, sight, hearing) but also our extra senses, our intuition.
Life is just so interesting… so interesting.
It feels like when we die, when we pass over to the next realm (whatever that is for each of us, maybe it’s different for all of us or the same, I don’t know, I guess it depends on if you’re growing or staying stuck in the same cycles and mindset) the spiritual is present in the physical realm. Like, I have this secret code that I’ve had for a long time (but never put it together that it was connected with my Grandmother until she passed) but I see that secret code everywhere, every single day all the time. And it’s a reminder that she’s still here… right here. Maybe not in this same realm, but she’s still here listening, watching, protecting, supporting; just like she did when she was physically here.
So interesting, life. So interesting, death.
There’s only two guarantees in this life… life - being able to bring forth life, and death. We’re only here for a snippet of time, a small fucking snippet. This world, this planet, this life, this Universe has been here for millennia… and I’m here right now in fucking 2025? I’m positive that’s not the real year; there’s no way there’s only been two thousand twenty five years, no. But, it’s fascinating… it’s fascinating.
I don’t know where I’m really going with this, but what I do know is spirit is everywhere. Everywhere. You just have to pay attention and observe and take your mind off of yourself for a moment and look at life. Look at your surroundings, the people who surround you, the places, the animals, the plants, the wind, Nature, Life. Life is beautiful; and it is so worth living. Even during hard times. Even when people are fucking crazy. Life is worth it, and I’m grateful to be here. And while I’m here, I will do my best to enjoy, to experience, love, give, and be of service.
I feel like… my theory is (Eboni’s theory is) reincarnation is real. There’s a reason we’re all here. I feel like a lot of us have been here multiple times. Which is interesting to think, like we die but we don’t die. Our physical bodies die but our souls keep going. Where they go, I don’t know, but they go somewhere. Sometimes back here if we have to learn some shit we haven’t learned yet, sometimes they go to the next level of whatever the fuck the Universe is… which I hope my Grandmother did, because she suffered a lot.
I’m reading this book called The Atlas Six and it’s a great book - if you’re interested in fantasy and psychic powers and different types of power and secret societies and gaining knowledge but in order to gain knowledge you have to sacrifice something… it’s a terrific book. But, it’s interesting reading this book in connection with my Grandmother passing and it’s really showing me how life is, could be, maybe is, again we don’t really know. Everything is just theory.
What was the point of bringing up the book, I don’t know. That thought is gone now…
I don’t know, life’s cool. Spirituality is cool, too. Being a physical being but a spiritual being experiencing the physical, it’s fascinating.
I don’t know, I just hope whatever you’re going through please know life is worth it. This precious time we have is so small that we need to enjoy and try to experience as much as we can with the time we have. We have no idea how much time we have, I could die tomorrow or in the next five minutes (could even croak before posting this episode), but in this moment I am grateful for everything.
Everything.
