Die Before You Die

This 4-week program explores the invitation to “die before you die” from the perspective of awakened consciousness. It is relevant both for those who seek liberation in this life and for those who wish to move beyond the fear of death.

Amoda Maa explores the nature of impermanence, the error of identification with a finite self, and the liberation that becomes possible when we are willing to die into the immediacy of now.

Topics:

1 — Embracing Death as a Part of Life

Exploring the Tao of Life and how death is not the opposite of life but a part of the continuum of life, and how the fear of impermanence prevents us from living in the totality of now.

2 — Awakening Out of the Dream

Exploring how the fear of death is rooted in an error of identity, and the possibility of dying as who you think you are and awakening out of the dream of self as a finite entity called “me and my life”.

3 — The Art of Surrender

An invitation to “die into the now” by meeting each moment softly without interpretation and without interference, and understanding life as a preparation for the final surrender into death.

4 —Beyond Birth and Death

Exploring how the singularity merges with the totality — both at death and in awakening out of the dream of self — and allowing this liberated realization to be a support for both living and dying.
