"We came whirling out of nothingness
Scattering stars like dust.
The stars made a circle
And in the middle we dance." -
Jalaluddin Rumi
Donna once said to me, while we were dancing in the moonlight:
"The Moon Belongs to Us to Love"
I told her: "Once in a Blue Moon, a man might be blessed to Discover and
Love a brave Warrior-Priestess such as yourself, Donna Darkwolf. I am Blessed".
Introduction: Donna Darkwolf’s Book Outline
This an out-line of new book my BEAUTIFUL Donna Darkwolf was intending
to write before she marched off on her Mission into The Undiscovered Country.
File Date...05 July 2017 > 6:55AM. Two days before Donna checked out.
(Incidentally > 6 + 5 + 5 = 16. 6 + 1 = Se7en. Donna Darkwolf certainly
left a trail of 7's.)
See: Topic "777" 'The Magic of 777'. I have not put a link in - because
I do not want to disturb the flow of This Story.
Commences:
"All people have a unique human story to tell. Unless you live the story
no one else can ever tell it for you. But we can try. There are those that
choose to exercise their right to die at a time and place of their choice.
There are those who do not, and everything in-between. This book focusses
on those who DO.
We must de-mystify "death".
Some will make a private decision to be alone when their time comes. They
might not like to share their journey in their decision to die and may
even object to this book. Some however might like to share and document
the events and necessary pragmatic decisions leading up to their final
moments. Some will have notified family and friends of their intent, but
pass at a time no one will be aware of.
Others of us will be able to have loved one present with us. Some of us
may even be prepared to video our deaths in support of our beliefs.
Our stories touch a human nerve with those that are ambivalent or anti-euthanasia.
For many of us these stories, will bring comfort to those of us who have
made this decision.
In most ‘causes’
there is always a defining word/concept. I spearheaded an ‘obscure’
cause and our word was ‘coming home’. People who battled with the status
quo, domineering, judgemental, and limited dogmatic oftentimes religious
principles and pressure. The folk who eventually found their way here were
all free spirited and independent thinkers. Most of them had been through
a process of self-doubt, confronting their own predisposed deep seated
unhealthy morals, ethics, community and peer pressure. It was often a long
solitary sojourn, almost a pilgrimage -until they broke the shackles of
their own prejudices and ‘came home.’
The words associated with assisted dying, rational suicide and the entire
gamut is ‘comfort’,’ insurance policy’.
Modern western civilization has created some veil over death. Despite
the fact that we are quite happy to wantonly kill one another.
As if death is a mystery of some sort. Because westerners have no concept
of "Family Ancestors".
Dealing with a death is rather difficult, admittedly. Dealing with suicide
is "different" for every individual because they have never contemplated
any death.
Let alone their own.
Annually - Mexicans celebrate Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead to honour
those who have travelled on.
The Chinese venerate ancestors with burning of “sacrificial money” in
honor of the dead.
In Japan, the annual Obon festival marks the return of deceased ancestors
to Earth.
Gathering our personal stories and insights in a book (
title unknown at this stage – maybe an interesting exercise for all member).
Maybe ‘the alchemy of rational suicide. the title ‘the alchemy of
suicide’ (without the word ‘rational) has been taken by Osho – but this
not what we are on about. an interesting read none the less,
‘the philosophers stone: alchemy of suicide’ or even ‘,may I tell your
story’.(all a bit crappy to my mind but an interesting project nevertheless
– I think)
This is only applicable to those who want to. (I for one would like to
and it surely can’t only be me who would like to; and i would be grateful
to read other peoples journey – the same as mine.) Although I am a new
member I have picked up many who need ‘encouragement’ (please change that
word for legal implications), someone to seriously talk to.
Since our interaction on the forum is limited, and many of us cannot access
EXIT workshops or conferences, I have found the same human question, doubts
and fears, and sincerely believe such a book could help us on our journey
into final discovery - our ultimate rites of passage.
Here are some questions that may serve as
a guideline
for those who would like to participate:
I see this book as a collective of our mind set – then and now, and hopefully some final thoughts before our death act. Primarily this book will be about our personal human story/journey. Factual information pertaining to the debate is necessary to cushion us in the context of our stories – the emphasis being on our right to make the decision. This would be done by our leaders and elders.
Some sort of an idea as to be able to explain the context in which the poignant and human stories of our individual participants speak and write.
Natual born killers. Start off soft and stupid boys. And molded into that
hard steel blade.
After 10 years of living with my soldier... a fifth of my life... i learned
that I am not a part of the mission. I AM the Mission.
I am not doing something.
I Am Some Thing. Beaten like Steel
Forged in fire
Perfect.
He set me free
We live every day
We only die once
That part abt get on the ready line? do or die trying
I know what it means now.
Thanks to my beautful Minion
Although this would not be the primary focus of this book of stories,
(bearing that this will possibly excite and inspire some members), there
will/should be certain financial spin offs (however small). There should
be no costs involved from the story tellers (I find from personal experience
that those who share their personal journeys are only too happy to have
a platform).
It is a labour of love especially form the collator and the editor. This
book could become part of current catalogue of books. It should be updated
just as the PPh is – I would suggest once a year.
It is my considered opinion that there should be a cost to members, non-members,
and those who are ambivalent or anti. That is our leader’s/elders decision
(bearing in mind those with financial constraints- which in any case I
am sure you discuss privately with such). I hope this idea/project might
be beneficial and of assistance to you – I know as an individual it would
for me.
