YOUR DEATH AND YOUR DESTINATION

The Book Description:

This is my “best book” to date.

Of course, most authors think that their current publication being their “best” so far. But I think that this is my “best book” because I earnestly believe that I was “inspired” to write it.

Many months ago, I started to notice my inspiration when I was sleeping. Unlike some writers who’re more creative at dark hours, I never wrote anything at night due to my poor vision. But many new ideas just popped up into my nightly dreams as if someone was speaking to me while I was sleeping, telling me what to write and what not to write. My bursts of inspiration continued for many months, and during some nights I even woke up and had to jot down some key points before I could go back to sleep again.

I noticed that my inspiration also began to happen during the daytime. Sometimes as soon as I turned on the television or switched the channel I was watching, I became instantly inspired by a word or a phrase that was said at that very moment. I believed that God was inspiring me. So, through my daily prayers, I also began to ask God to continue to inspire my writing.

When I began to tell those close to me that I was writing a book on “your death”, their immediate response was: “How gross!”

If my book were to focus on “how” you’re going to die, it could indeed be “gross” because you’re living in a world rampant with natural disasters and physical violence. But my book focuses on your “positive” aspects of living before you die: WHO you can become—a person of love and connection with others; HOW you can live longer—if you wish to extend your existence; WHAT you can do with yourself—before you exit from this world; WHERE you will go when you actually die—somewhere or nowhere.

Your “death and dying” is a fact of your life—not something “gross” to avoid or to talk about.

This is my last book because I’m growing older. If I continue to survive, I’ll spend the rest of my life reviewing and revising some of my books published decades ago.

A Sample from the Book:

Your Doings

In addition to your self-identification, standing before the Judge, you’ll also need to reveal your past before your exit from the world.

WHAT You Had Done or Not Done

Consciously or unconsciously, you might have had many actions or inactions in your life due to the choices of your thinking mind. Given that your thinking mind, living in the flesh, had been controlled by the prevalent information, disinformation, and misinformation around you.

Throughout your life before your exit from this world, you might have done many things that could have been against the law, deviating from social norms, unacceptable to the public, unethical, and even evil, such as the following:

1. Lording

Lording is the belief of someone that he or she is “topping” others and his or her “being superior” accordingly demands compliance and submission from others around. Had you been “lording” yourself throughout your life on earth?

2. Grudging

Grudging shows an insatiable desire to get what one lacks. In your life, how often had you compared yourself with others who had what you didn’t have?

3. Lusting

Lusting is expressing desire and demand for sex, for power, and for money. Had you been lusting all those things not only to satisfy yourself but also to control others during your lifespan?

4. Storming

Storming is being angry with others around all the time. Had you often been in anger and rage with others with your unforgiveness and even your vengeance.

5. Craving

Craving is wanting more and much more. In your past life, had you been dissatisfied with what you had most of the time?

6. Owning

Owning is possessing many material things in life. Had you been having all the trimmings of life to define who you were and to satisfy your inflated ego?

7. Idling

Idling is not doing what needs to be done. Had you not done many things that you should have done while living on earth before your exit?

Sins

All the above are the Seven Dealy Sins, which are humans’ unaccountability to God.
