Self transcends life and death.

All that is here is Self. Self transcends life and death. Life and death are Self. Perhaps it could be said that everything is an abstraction for reality is Self. Self perceives itself as diversified but all diversity is Self. Self perceives itself as Life but Life is Self.  Self perceives itself as variegated but all variegation is Self. All that is here is Self veiling itself. Why? To experience Companionship aka Love. Self cannot experience companionship without perceiving itself as otherness, as Life, as man and woman. Man and woman, Life, otherness is in truth Self. Self itself is. Self imagines otherness not to be alone. There is as such no death in reality. This is the meaning of The Eternal Life. The Eternal Life experiences itself as Life to Love and be Loved in return. All this for Love, for Companionship, to experience otherness in order to experience Togetherness.
