Dying is something you do for you.

You are the cause of your own death. This is always true, no matter where,
or how you die.

第十一個憶起:死亡的時間和環境永遠都是完美的。
The timing and the circumstances of death are always perfect.
第十二個憶起:每一個人的死亡總是服務於所有知道他死亡的其他人的議程。這就是他們為什麼會知道的原因。
因此,從來沒有死亡(也沒有生命)被“浪費”。也從來沒有人會“白白”死去。

In death you will be greeted by all of your loved ones—those who have died before you and those
who will die after you.
第十八個憶起:自由選擇是純粹的創造行為,是神的神蹟,是你的天賦,你的榮耀,是你永遠的力量。
Free Choice is the act of pure creation, the signature of God, and your gift, your glory,
and your power forever and ever.
