Jennai's response to a question on the purpose of the death-state - 3 February 2022
In the death-state, you are not expanding your desires - you are not enacting your desires - you are not creating or seeding creation through your desires, as you are in the active embodied state. In what we commonly refer to as a life-cycle. (And it would be useful to generate a more precise description, because life, as we have said, encompasses both aspects.)
In the death-state, you are not creating or seeding creation through your desires. Rather, you are integrating the extent to which you were able to seed your desires - you are reflec1ng on the effectiveness - the degree of consciousness through which you were able to seed desire.
The purpose of this is to inform further embodiment - further opportunities to re-seed those desires more efficiently - more effectively - more precisely. This why we offer the description of an internal integration, rather than an external expansion.
Desire is the seed of all creation. And desire is generated through movement - through life.
And if death - the death-state is merely an expression of life, then the death-state, too, is concerned with how one is seeding creation through desire. It is the chance to consider the creations you have enacted from outside of the confines of an embodiment.
While you are in that life-state - that embodied state, you are also considering the state of your desires, but you consider it through the filter of the kaleidoscope - the parameters and confines of that embodiment. With the life-state, you are looking through the kaleidoscope. In the death-state, you are considering the pattern that is reflected through that kaleidoscope - you are considering how that pattern has served you in seeding your desires. Both are focused on the expression of self that is afforded through that particular arrangement of beads and texture and coloured glass. But in the one part of the journey - the embodied-life part, you are doing it by shining through the kaleidoscope - you are seeing what is confined from within that embodiment - the patterns that are confined to the particular configurations of that specific embodiment, and from the death side of it, you are considering it from the other side - from the side that has created a reflection of light and of glass. A pattern of expression, without limiting yourself to the confines of the kaleidoscope itself - the embodiment itself.
