Things get very sharp, very quickly.

Presence is definitely available to all of us.

And I've seen it when people are in the active dying phase and they are still with us in their intellect.

The level of presence is just a miracle.

It's so beautiful.

And when they know that it's happening and they know what they want it to be like and they know what they want to offer to the moment of their own death...

There's nothing more beautiful.

It's more beautiful than birth.

You know, more magnificent in a way.

I don't mean to use such big words.

I want to use something more descriptive.

It's very moving to see somebody who knows, you know, medical assistance in death.

I've seen that a bunch of times, and they know this is their hour.

They're about to lose consciousness.

Their organs are about to shut down because of the medicine they've taken and they're about to be delivered to the other side of the mountain, as it were, whatever you want to call it.

The level of presence that they have is unmatched.

Amen.

To die a good death.

Yeah, to prepare in all of these little ways and big ways to be ready and willing to die a good death.

I think that makes for a really good life.
