About

Hi there! This blog is about the idea that physical death is a choice, and that choosing life has significant advantages. I see aging and dying as silly habits we can grow out of, and believe we may well grow out of them in the not too distant future.

In my opinion, dying doesn’t get us anywhere useful… I think it and the lead up to it (that can last for decades) cause all sorts of pain and suffering for all concerned, and hold us back. There’s a better way!

I also don’t believe we go to be with God when we die, simply because we are already with God—we can’t not be! Alive or dead. I believe all parts of us are God’s expression… body, mind and soul (“God” to me meaning the universal source of creation).

I think overcoming aging and death is part of the process of moving towards self-realisation, and also that self-realised people have ongoing choice about which realms they express in.

Some people who are into this philosophy like the idea of developing the ability to raise their “vibration” so they have bodies of light, that can disappear altogether if they want, and others like to think in terms of keeping their physical body permanently in the form we are now familiar with. Personally, I like to stay in present time as much as possible, and don’t have any strong expectations about the future… increasing my aliveness in the here and now is what concerns me—the future can take care of itself. I do find some of the possibilities intriguing… and inspiring.

If you would like to investigate these ideas further, I suggest you read my “core concepts” posts, which are listed on my Featured posts page, and look through my Resources and Links pages.

Here’s one of my favourite quotes on the topic:

You want to stay on Earth because it is the most beautiful spring morning of all your history, and you are in love… in love with the spirit that sings in your heart, in love with the glorious planet that clothes you in her matter.

~ from The Starseed Transmissions (Ken Carey)

and about me…

My name is Robin Birch and I live in Melbourne, Australia with my partner Frank. We run a recording studio and do other bits and pieces to support musicians. We have a website for that here: The Sound Sculptor. I also write books for children on topics such as astronomy, dinosaurs and the weather – you can find some of them for sale here.

As well I dabble in whipping up websites for people, using RapidWeaver. This site is done with WordPress, which I am learning slowly but surely.

It’s very much an adventure to be writing on this topic—it’s not exactly mainstream! If anyone is interested in reading about how I first came across these ideas, my post How I Found Immortality about covers it. And you can find a list of posts that lean towards being about my personal life by clicking here.

keep well,

Robin
