My Gift from Dad and Mom was another 25 years on Earth; the Creative Universe is expanding and they're ascending further and further away, closer to God,,,
I don't want to die of a Disease. Sans Global Disarmament, I want to die in a Global Nuclear Catastrophe. Something Cinematic and collective. I was hoping Armageddon would come sooner, for Dad and Mom to Witness with me, but they're not here anymore, so It would be anticlimactic for me to die of a Disease.
I'll catch up to Dad and Mom in Space, someday. I'm sure, they'll let me know when It's time to go in a Series of Ladder Dreams apparitions.
My Nephew should be 33 by then, at the Heights of Ministry.

LUIS ANTONIO GOKIM TAGLE: I think some Chinese characteristics have passed onto me, even though my grandfather spent most of his life in the Philippines. I remember certain practices he observed, such as honoring his mother by offering her food, putting it in front of her photograph, with a few sticks of incense, or setting off fireworks to welcome the New Year, or offering a lot of food during family meals.

ALAN SEGAL: The soul turns from the impermanence and corruption of this world to return to its original home, the stars.
Vatican: any pastoral action that is limited to the territory of the parish is outdated, which is something the parishioners themselves observe when their parish appears to be more interested in preserving a nostalgia of former times as opposed to looking to the future with courage.
SAMUEL EMADI: According to the Bible, death is an aberration in the world, the chief evidence that something is terribly awry.
The Bible also indicates that He will extricate the poison of death and decay from every square inch of the cosmos.
BART EHRMAN: Some suggest astral immortality—that the soul will become a star shining in the firmament.
רבי משה בן מימון: our souls will be informed by the knowledge of the Creator, may He be blessed, in the manner in which the heavenly bodies are informed of Him, or even more.
NATHAN LOPES CARDOZO: Before we were born, we were dead for millions of years.
Real life is a journey that starts long before we come into existence. There is an eternal continuum that seems to precede the existence of the individual; similarly, the journey of life continues after death.
If it were possible for us mortals to see this highway between heaven and earth, we would be surprised at the heavy daily traffic in both directions.
IRWIN KELLER: ויכל יעקב לצות את–בניו ויאסף רגליו אל–המטה ויגוע ויאסף אל–עמיו
Jacob finished instructing his children. And he gathered his feet into the bed, breathed out his last, and was gathered to his people. (Genesis 49:33.)
There is something striking about the repetition of the Hebrew verb asaf, "to gather," within the verse. The first instance of it, Jacob's gathering of his feet into the bed, is a detail that is intimate and physical. Whereas his being gathered to his people is majestic and metaphysical.
Other times asaf is used in the sense of drawing back, or drawing something back that had already been offered or extended. Sometimes it's physical, like when King Saul says to the High Priest,
אסף ידך
Gather your hand, meaning "draw back your hand." (1 Samuel 14:19.) And sometimes it's a more intangible image, for instance in the book of Joel, in a prophecy about the end of days:
לפניו רגזה ארץ רעשו שמים שמש וירכ קדרו וכוכבים אספו נגהם
Before God the earth quakes, the heavens tremble, the sun and moon grow dim and the stars gather - i.e. draw back - their brightness. (Joel 2:10; repeated in 4:15.)
In both these examples, something that was given is being retracted. The priest's hand, the light of stars. Here asaf, to gather, implies a drawing in of something that had already been emanated outward. Jacob's life had been radiated into this world; now it was being pulled back.
Jacob is withdrawn from this physical world; he is gathered into us and we continue him.
WIKIPEDIA: In Chinese history and culture, possession of one or more ancient ding (鼎) is often associated with power and dominion over the land. Therefore, the ding is often used as an implicit symbolism for power. The term "inquiring of the ding" (Chinese: 问鼎; pinyin: wèn dǐng) is often used interchangeably with the quest for power. Ding are used to make Ritual Sacrifices, both Animals and Humans, to ancestors. If the ancestors are Happy, the living would be Blessed with good Fortune.
