germinate before our eyes. We are not attuned to seeing the

| "It is in the plan that man should die. The rich, the poor; the bond,
the free; the great, the lowly?all must die. Death comes to everyone. Death
* a necessary step to our eterrzal progression. But death is not the end,
it is only a transitional state whereby we move from one stage of action
to another. The spirit continues to live, move, think, learn, and to
engage in all those activities associated with existence in our next
estate. The physical body is placed in the grave, there to remain until
the time of our resurrection. The change called death is ordained of God
awl is a blessing to man. It would be tragic if men could never be
released from mortality that they might put on immortality. Death releases
man from his mortal existence and makes possible his onward progress toward
eterrzal life and exaltation." | |

can experience an unconditional affirmation of life only when one has
accepted death, not as contrary to life, but as an aspect of life. Life in

conquest of fear yields the courage of life. That is the cardinal
initiation of every heroic adventure ? fearlessness and
achievement." | |

Joseph Campbell

alike to the great and to the unknown; to the righteous and to the
unrighteous. Wherein we differ is not in our ability to avert it, but in
the preparedness with which we meet it. At such times some question the
judgments of God. Some find bitterness because of the circumstances and
because of the seeming untimeliness of death." | |
