Death - Talking to your Soul

Transcript

There, there. Calm down. Breathe.

Even though breathing won't really do anything, at least it will ground you. Me? I am a Reaper.

You know, the things you learn about in school, the things that I'm used for metal bands and for artwork a lot. I don't look anything like what I've been pictured as, do I? My face is not a skull, I do not have a cloak, or do I have a scythe? I've always wanted one.

But no, sorry to disappoint, death has a different face, and this is the face of death. Now, how do you feel? Oh, that is good.

Where are you? Well, right at this very moment you are neither alive nor dead, but you are also alive and you are dead. That makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

All you have to know is that right now you have no pressure over what you can do, because there isn't really anything you can do, except have a conversation with me. How are you feeling? I haven't laughed in a long time, and yes, that was a laugh.

That was a really good answer, and I've talked to a lot of people, well, a lot of souls, and none of them have ever given me that answer. Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore. You see, like I said, you are neither dead nor are you alive, but you are alive and you are dead.

You have just transformed. That's also not the right way of putting it. I've got it.

You have shed your skin like a snake and now you are what people truly are, which is souls. The great thing is that when you die you find out that there is a soul, that there is another side, right? And even though you might not feel right at home, you must understand that you are home, because death is the one certainty that everyone must experience.

It makes all of us equal. Why the fuck did I just say us? I'm not one of you.

Well, you understand now, don't you? Death is inevitable and you have arrived. Now, all the questions that you've always had are somewhat answered, aren't they? What's next? Hmm, that's also a very good question.

For now, not much. You still have to stay here with me just for a little while, but soon you will go another place and then another place and you see death as an illusion, because you don't really die now, do you, if you keep going from one place to the next? Death then isn't real, is it? And you have just found that out.

So don't worry, it'll be alright. That's the important part. That is all you have to worry about.

Now, do you have any questions for me? Oh, and by the way, by questions I mean question. You only have one.

So if I were you, I'd make it a good one.
