HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY WE EXIST HERE ON THIS PLANET?
When was the last time you felt truly alive, filled with joy, or even generally happy?
Have you ever wondered why we, as humans, are here? or
What is our purpose?
Have you ever felt like you were living JUST TO die & go back to dust and energy?
What makes humans so different, special or unique?
What if I told you that, in a way, we are already dead?
It's ok, because there IS MORE to this life, but we need to learn how to revive, protect & nurture our souls.
The Western world typically hears "Enlightenment" and either thinks religion or fantasy.
Contrary to this, cultures around the globe relate Enlightenment or Spiritual Awakening with a self-realization & release or freedom from social conditioning.
Socrates' & Plato's dialogues describe the experience by describing us, the searching soul, as captives, chained in a cave and our awakening is our freedom and release from our cave & chains.
Buddhism calls it 'Enlightenment',
Christians call it 'a transformative change of heart' or 'repentance',
Jainism calls it 'Keval Gyan',
Hinduism calls it 'Advaita Vedanta' or 'moksha/mukti'; meaning "to let loose, let go" of ones soul/consciousness...
In other words, everyone is discussing, on some level, a cycle of Death & Rebirth.
Here's a few lyrics from this playlist, that inspired The Death To Life;
These lyrics will touch you differently than they touched me, but I'm hoping that you will be challenged to look inward and move to walk this life in a good & kind way.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST LOOKING INTO THESE LYRICS YOURSELF

AWAKENING
Dr. Andrew Newberg says that there are two kinds of enlightenment: enlightenment with a "lowercase e," which changes our opinions about the world, and Enlightenment with a "capital E," which changes our essence — that is, how we think about life, death, and God.
When people experience Enlightenment, they frequently report losing their sense of self, and scientific analysis confirms that brain activity is driving this sensation. Though Enlightenment is typically associated with fervently religious or spiritual individuals like Mother Teresa or the Buddha, people from all walks of life can experience essence-changing events — sometimes just walking down the street, Dr. Newberg tells us. Similar experiences can be purposefully induced through the use of pharmacological substances like LSD or hallucinogenic mushrooms.
Philosophically, what does Enlightenment mean? According to Dr. Newberg, perhaps Enlightenment is like a pair of glasses: We are born into the world with bad vision until we experience corrective lenses. In this case, the "lenses" are being applied to our brain rather than our eyes.
