This morning, without knowing about your recommendation @NightHawk999 , read our Beloved @Kalabasis 's email who shared this with me:
Page 220 peaceful death, joyful rebirth
“An important point to remember, is that whereas ordinary people need death ceremonies, masters do not need or may not want to have them. That is why many masters even aspire to “die like a dog” as they say. Just as a stray dog may expire by the side of the road without anyone taking the least notice so these masters, hope that no one will pay any attention to their death so that they will be free to move on from this life in a manner that they would enjoy.”
With the blessings of my intuition and with this final recommendation from the Universe…
It’s a Kind of Magic - Queen

Beloved @NightHawk999 , a 
friend invited me for a LIVE on her Instagram. It will be on the 5th of March, at 8pm my time zone. If I feel, is it ok for me to call your Presence to be by my side? (Along with my Circle of Protectors)… perhaps I will also call the Jaguar…
I feel deeply honored to be doing this for people, in a sacred joyful space.
May I be fearless and kind. 
If you feel from your precious heart, please wish me luck…!

Most welcome @NightHawk999 !
And thank you for your illustrious offerings as well! The Bob Thurman talk is superb! And to have a recorded reading of the entire Bardo Thodol? Priceless!
This is a quote from an Alan Watts lecture that for me resonates with the “gem” from Peaceful Death Joyful Rebirth….
“It’s a great thing if you can learn what the Chinese call purposelessness. Nature is purposeless.
And when we say purposelessness in the West ,that’s a put down.There’s no future in it. It’s a washout.
And when the Chinese hear purposelessness they say that’s just great!
When the waves crash against the shore they go on and on and on. No meaning. No purpose.
A great Zen master said as his death poem just before he died, ‘From the bathtub to the bathtub I have offered stuff and nonsense.
From the washing at birth to the washing of my corpse at death I have said many non-senses.’ “
