What would you do if you knew the day of your death? This question emerged from many personal experiences and accounts of people who face crises when they learn that they are going to die or that a relative is about to die. It is similar to retirement: you follow a routine and suddenly find yourself facing a change. Many people have come to me for therapy because of retirement. Death is like that: what do you do afterward? Without knowledge or an open mind, a person may cling to closed beliefs. We have spiritual leaders whose words we use to give meaning to life. We need to question everything.

If someone says that everything will be fine after death, it becomes a palliative. But it is important to face the reality of our physical side and our continuity in the spiritual world. Speaking about death and reincarnation seems distant, but it is something we can explore now. Death is an inevitable retirement, a true "Saint Peter's coat rack." I imagine coat racks walking around, with more people arriving.

I have always considered myself good-humored and did not believe that bad-tempered people existed, but they do. When we break a continuity, frustration and emotional shock arise, bringing denial and anger. My sleep is short; I do not need eight or twelve hours and sometimes do not even need seven hours. Sleeping for an hour or an hour and a half restores me. It is my personal process, which occurs alongside spiritual seeking. I wake up ready to go despite my poor health—and I am being optimistic when I call it poor. If one day I need to board the "last spacecraft," I am prepared. We all arrived with our tickets already purchased.

I want to convey something good without poisoning people with lies or things I say for my own convenience. I want people to see more. Questioning may seem burdensome, but I do not think so; I think it is good. If someone questions me, I have no problem with it. I make use of everything, even criticism. We create phrases and laws that we nurture for centuries and think are right. I do not know whether they are. What I do, this search, is only one path. It is not the absolute truth, but it can transform and open new paths. The truth is already here; we need to see it. Our relationships with people depend on our energy and constitution.
