One of the principles of ascendance is that thoughts and actions should contribute towards the “greatest good for all”.  Our decisions should be made with the understanding that we are seeking the “greatest good” in all situations.  For this understanding to emerge, however, we need a higher perspective than the moment that is directly in front of us.    We need to see beyond ourselves and note the interconnectedness between ourselves, others, and our actions. 

How does death and dying ask us to focus both on what is happening in the moment and also finding a perspective beyond this moment? 

You do not live forever. Your actions do.  What actions are you manifesting that create the most benefit for everyone?
