The Grandfathers view, the Human Body was an expression of the manifestation of the Mind, the Spirit and the Physical you. Life and Death are transformations of energy into new forms. Death was understood as a metamorphosis, the Spirit survives, does not disappear as the mind and physical you, it becomes a creative force within the Universe.
Death was seen as the greatest adventure, the greatest unknown for us Human Being.
Death should not cause fear but seen as an adventure beyond our imaginations.
The Grandfathers never doubted the immortal nature of the Spirit, but neither did he care to speculate upon its probable state or condition in a future life.
The idea of a “Happy Hunting-ground” is modern and probably borrowed from Hollywood, or invented by the Euro-American.
The Grandfathers were content to believe that the Spirit, which the Creator breathed into Man, returned to the Universe after it is freed from this Earth/Human state it is everywhere and pervades all Nature.
Life, the Physical adventure.
Death, the Spiritual adventure.
