“The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1980 formulated the Uniform Determination of Death Act (UDDA). It states that: "An individual who has sustained either
(1) irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions, or
(2) irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including the brain stem is dead.
A determination of death must be made in accordance with accepted medical standards.
This definition was approved by the American Medical Association in 1980 and by the American Bar Association in 1981. Today all fifty states and the District of Columbia follow the UDDA as a legal standard of death.”

Death is the state of a thermodynamic biosystem in which it cannot get and organize autonomously the energy from the environment.

It is nearly always seen upside down.
Birth is temporary death to our true or primary reality. Our spirit reality.
Death to our material body the vehicle we use in the physical reality or secondary reality, is our rebirth into our primary reality of spirit.
So what we think of as birth is actually death, and death is actually a rebirth.
This is the true meaning of the term being "born again" that is found in the bible.
It has been drastically misinterpreted to mean something that Jesus never intended for it to mean.

The End

To be disconnected to the source of Life.
Physically = heart, respiration, brain activity.
Socially = void of interpersonal relationships
Spiritually = not in touch with God (Jesus said, "Let the Dead bury their own Dead" ... the latter, physically dead, the former could move, so spiritually dead)

The meaning of death is simply that you are no longer useful to anyone except perhaps the medical school that are always in need of cadavers.

Consciousness is Life. It can neither be created nor destroyed; so there is no such thing as Death. Just because your 'consciosness' leaves the body at what you called 'death' does not mean it (you) dies.

To quote Robin Williams:
To kick the bucket
By the farm
To shuffle off the mortal coil
To cease to be
To go to that great big___in the sky (whatever you like)
etc....lol

it means, going back to it's originality , dust . .
but right now, my focus is on life, make the use of it,
do whatever I can do for the ONE who breathed unto
that dust and became life ..
Focus on how can we be honorable to the ONE that
gave us this life .. as if there's time left.
