DAY 5: What is "Moksha" (Salvation) Anyway?

Welcome to Day 5. Yesterday, we cleaned our connection cord to stop being an "anchor." Today, we need to look at where our loved ones are actually going.

You might hear words like Moksha, Salvation, Nirvana, or "going to the Light." These can sound like big, religious concepts. But let's strip away the complexity and look at the simple, beautiful truth.

Moksha (or Salvation) simply means "Liberation."

Think of a drop of water. When it is in a cloud, or a river, or a glass, it is separate. It has a shape. It has limits. But when that drop falls into the ocean, does it die? No. It becomes the ocean. It becomes vast, deep, and infinite. It is no longer a "drop," it is the Water itself.

Our loved ones are that drop. The Source (God, the Universe, Pure Consciousness) is the Ocean.

When they leave their physical body, their soul is naturally pulled back toward that Ocean of pure love and peace. This is their "Home."

• It is a state of Pure Existence (Sat).

• It is a state of Pure Consciousness (Chit).

• It is a state of Pure Bliss (Ananda).

In this state, there is no pain. There is no fear. There is no "missing" anything. There is only wholeness.

Why is this important for you right now?

Because sometimes, in our grief, we worry. "Are they okay?" "Are they lonely?" "Are they cold?"

The truth is: They are more 'okay' than they have ever been.

They are moving toward a state of total freedom. Understanding this helps us release our tight grip. We aren't losing them to "nothingness." We are releasing them into "everything-ness." We are cheering them on as they swim toward the ultimate peace they deserve.

Action (The 'How'):

Today’s action is about aligning your desires with their desires.

When we are grieving deeply, we often focus on what we want ("I want them back," "I want to see them"). That is natural. But today, we are going to flip the perspective to help you find peace.

We are going to do a short journaling exercise called "The Perspective Shift."

1. Open your journal.

2. Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine your loved one standing in front of you right now. Not sick, not tired, but radiant—filled with that "Moksha" light of peace and love. They are looking at you with absolute adoration.

3. Ask this question: "If they could speak to me right now, from this place of pure love, what would they want for me?"

4. Write the answer. Don't overthink it. Just write what comes to your heart.

   • Would they want you to be crying in the dark?

   • Would they want you to feel guilty?

   • Or would they want you to smile again? To feel the sun? To eat a good meal? To remember them with joy?

Example: "I know [Name] would hate seeing me skip meals. He would tell me to go get a pizza and watch a funny movie. He would want me to be happy."

The Truth: Your happiness does not betray them. Your healing does not leave them behind. Your peace is their greatest wish.

When you realize that they want you to be happy, it becomes easier to give yourself permission to heal.

You are doing great work. I'll see you tomorrow for Day 6.
