DYING - MAKING SENSE

Do you ever feel like you’re holding on for dear life, only to realise that you’re not really sure of what you were grasping so tightly to in the first place?
Learning to let go is a journey of self-discovery. At first, it's scary to lose something dear, as if a part of you is slipping away. But as you embrace the release, you find freedom and a sense of bravery too. It's about accepting life's changes and challenges, knowing that what stays will find a way, and what comes will paint new colours in your life.
Once you master letting go, you'll feel lighter, allowing space for acceptance, balance, and peace.

[@longlost8424]

if you find yourself looking for meaning, or something that makes "sense" in this life, then your focusing on the wrong thing. the purpose of life is to live it, so immerse yourself within the experience of life. enjoy the folly of the experience rather than fight against injustice, karma, or luck. none of those things exist anywhere other than within our minds as we attempt to justify the experience. learn, love, and accept what we have. if you don't care for where you are in life, then change it to something else that allows you to enjoy the experience. in the end, we all die. all paths lead us to the same destination. what we do while we're here though, we get to decide, we get to lead (for the most part). even within tragedy, we remain the manifestation of our individual experience...... live it....... love it...... learn from it and move within the experience........

[@judeirwin2222]

Agreed. The path we seek, the meaning we crave exists within us. Take a step, and then another. This is your path, unique to you, and the meaning of life is what you bring to it, while remaining open to the messages of the Universe. Listen. Wait. Most of all, just “be” and love.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you, we can all ponder on this for a while... Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@LittleFrenchHen]

If ever I've got cancer, I know for a fact that I would have the same reasoning as this men does: karma. Even if I don't believe in God or anything like that. He is right, that answer would relieve me from the anxiety. But deep inside ,I know there is no reason, because cancer happens to million of people, no matter who they are, good or not so much. Because we have a body and that's what a body does. So there are no reasons, it just happens because it happens. But that's hard to accept.

This is such an expression of Grace, I can only hope to grasp life in this way. When I occasionally glimpse the truth of my transitory nature I am reminded of Carlos Castaneda’s words that death is always just two paces behind me, over my shoulder. To hear someone describe the realization, in concrete terms, of that truth is at once deeply challenging and opening to my heart. Ultimately, I think that we are each poured back into the earth, and it is unspeakably joyful and sorrowful, all at once, to see it clearly. Thank you for producing this video, it is a teaching.

Everything is karma but really hard to guess at what stage in your" lives' you acquired enough Karma for illness and that said illness has a way of burning Karma.Two years in with pancreatic cancer is better than most outcomes so you're probably doing all the right things to mitigate suffering at least as much as possible❤❤❤

I always tell people that if you are healthy, you have no reason to be upset at all. Dont get me wrong, your feelings are still valid over something gone wrong but dont dwell on it too much. If you can wake up, breathe, move your hands and legs, EAT. Yeah. Be grateful. You are healthy and can work. I nearly died from medical gaslighting. Had an intrahepatic gallbladder deformity that nearly killed me in 2020. Before that year it was 20+ years of non stop nausea, gagging, food sensitivity. We all thought I had some rare disorder but no. It was just a deformity. Much better now but still a bit so and so with health after suffering for so long. Got invited to talk about it for a podcast. I would do anything to be healthy**

[@ReflectionsofLife]

[@jeremy1350]

The one thing that was missing before I met my own misfortune, I think, was love. For a few years I searched for the why, so I have several to chose from. Then I stopped asking why, when I kept meeting and conquering death. Because I WAS supposed to be dead a long time ago. Rong teaches us what we should focus on, and how fleeting life really is. I wish, also, I had a friend like Rong Liang Chia today. At least we get a part of him here. I wish him peace along the way, and love.

Such touching words. Thank you for writing this comment and and the good wishes for Rong. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

Words that come from men who know their end in close, have such a profound impact. When I scrolled down after watching this, somehow I knew I'd find this message of his passing. I'd really love to know more about Rong. I want to know about his past, his family and his life before cancer. I want to know what happened in his life to make him feel the way he did about himself. Rest easy Rong. 🙏🏼

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for your kind words of care for Rong. He was a beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many. He did share quite a bit on his personal Instagram page, which we did link to in the write up below the film. He is missed, by so many. And yet his light continues to shine brightly, touching the hearts of all of those who continue to hear his story. We send you love. Justine and Michael x

[@VanessaGerotto]

this video touched me so profoundly I don't know how to formulate it in words. The honesty and beauty of the human being interviewed, as well as every single word said. I am sorry to read he now passed away and will light a candle this evening for him.Sending love to his beloved ones. Thank you Green Renaissance for helping me find back some sort of hope through the beautiful videos you make and share.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Your words touch and encourage us very much Vanessa. So thankful this video and others are so valuable to you, glad they give you hope. Much love, Justine and Michael. 💚

Maybe where we go is so incredibly beautiful and peaceful that your karma is opposite of how you view it. That you are such a beautiful soul that your good outweighed any bad. And you deserve a more beautiful home in keeping with your energy and acceptance. We all do bad. That’s just being human. But look what you just gave us even now a peaceful acceptance of an illness with an expiration date. And most people are angry if they are stuck in traffic. Your gift is huge. ❤

WOW !!! So brave & strait from the heart; powerful words, powerful lessons, I think the few ideas /qualities he shares are so fundamentally true for the human experience! How superfluous our lives have become! Great video, thank you.

[@germanside7890]

R.I.P my dear loved brother, may your soul find peace on the other side. When you lose your health, nothing in life matters anymore. Im dealing with health problems since two years as well. In that time, Im thinking a lot, whats life, what matters, why we are here, who am I? Sometimes I want to give up on life, but as long as I live, I will try not to give up. I guess we are here on this planet to learn and to grow, everything is just an expirience in life.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for your kind words regarding Rong. We are sorry that you have health issues as well. Wishing you strength and hope for every day, may there always be a light shining somewhere. Warmest wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@eddytheman1384]

Thank you Rong and Justine & Micheal ! Human being who is transitioning from this realm and is fully aware of his/her transition (due to circumstances like terminal diagnosis) to the other realm or state is adding "weight" /credence to their words and legacy..Rong knew his days are numbered therefore his message resonates more intensely. What will be our legacy when we will pass/depart ? HPL to ALL !

[@ReflectionsofLife]

You are welcome Eddy, thank you for your caring and touching message. Yes, we can all ponder what our legacy will be, his message invites us to sit awhile and think about it. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

I have found that asking deep questions of shallow people makes them evaporate. Seek out deep waters, and dive in where your inquiry will be refreshing and mutually satisfying.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing this thought. Something to ponder on. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

The only difference between him and us is that he sees his exit a little more clearly than we do and can change accordingly. If only we all could get a glimpse so we would start being better people.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thank you for sharing. May we be encouraged and inspired by his message. Warm hugs, Justine and Michael. 💚

[@Lamattina145]

Rongs journey really got to me, we have lost many in my family due to cancer and other end stage diseases and still listening to Rong makes my heart ache. Not sure if anyone here also followed the journey of Juliana Carver who passed in 2016, it definitely changes the mindset. God rest all of their souls 🕊️

[@ReflectionsofLife]

It's good that you share your sadness about losing many family members and Rong, we hope it helps you to heal. Wishing you strength for every new day and sending much love and kindness to you. Justine and Michael. 💚
