Ep. 8 Impermanence: Why It's Good to be Mortal

Learn the lesson of impermanence and why it is essential for life.

This episode includes:

• The Buddhist concept of impermanence.
• How everything that is fleeting becomes more precious to us.
• Entropy – the 2nd law of thermodynamics – from the Greek word entropia, which means a turning toward or transformation.
• How life moves from order to disorder, structure to non-structure, physical form to energetic form or Soul.
• The benefits of mortality:
  Creativity, growth and transformation are made possible,
  Even our suffering and pain will not last (“this too shall pass”),
  This is the unifying characteristic of all humans on the planet: we all will die one day and we all grieve over our loved ones who have died.
  
• Rituals for getting comfortable with and honoring our impermanence:
  Contemplation and journaling using books like The Tao of Death,
  Observation of nature,
  Mandala creation,
  Flowing water ritual.
  
• We are here to dissolve into love, our ultimate destiny.
