Why Does Death Exist?

There is no death. What we perceive as death is merely a transition between states, nothing more.

In order to understand this concept we need to gain access to the spiritual reality above our corporeal existence in this world. When we do, we then also see that there is no time. Likewise, if there is no time, how can there be death?

The spiritual reality operates according to different patterns that we see in our world. There is no cycle of life, death, and life in the spiritual reality as we understand it physically. Biological life, the physical protein body that we know in our world, has no connection to spirituality. It might live and die, but that has nothing to do with the spiritual process. We have no perception in spiritual matter, nor is it tied in any way to the physical.

Moreover, the life or death of the body indicates nothing about the spiritual. The spiritual world follows entirely different laws, independent of what we experience here.

Accessing the spiritual reality while we are alive here in our world involves acquiring a new sense that does not exist in us from birth. That is what we learn in the method of Kabbalah: how to attain and develop that new sense.
