PERSONAL APOCALYPSE.
THE END OF THE WORLD OF EACH ONE
Regardless of facts or signs, the Day of the End has arrived and will arrive for all living beings in this world. It is inevitable. Here, everything is perishable.
Even a block of uranium disperses by itself, due to the natural escape of particles and atoms until it disappears. Here, in this environment of compound substances, decomposition is only a matter of time.
Being perishable is part of the type of Nature in which we exist, the Nature we experience, suffer, now. Earth, stone, and dust, waters, winds, flesh, blood, fires, bones, minds.
When is said that the personal end of each one of us resembles an Apocalypse, in the sense of a terrible final event, this idea refers to a text that came from far, far away from the Christian West and even from the popular esoteric culture of the West.
This personal Apocalypse is described in a book called Bardo Thodol or the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
It is useful to clarify that the expression "Bardo Thodol" means 'in a Bardo state' or in an intermediate state; intermediate, here, indicates being between life and near death, between being here, in this world, and not being here, in this world; this is the state of a spirit in the Bardo condition.
In the chapter called: The Bardo of the Moment of Death, that is, the state of being of someone who is already on the verge of death, the book describes the first three signs of the arrival of the reaper, of the 'beak of the crow': the signs of the moment of death. Let's see if it isn't a catastrophe.
1st) Physical sensation of decompression
("the earth dissolving into water");
2nd) Sensation of cold, with the impression that the body is immersed in water, which gradually transforms into feverish heat ("the water dissolving into fire");
3rd) Sensation of the explosion of the body's atoms
("the fire dissolving into air").
Each symptom corresponds to a certain change in the body, external and visible: lack of control of the muscles of the face; loss of hearing; loss of vision; spasmodic breathing before the final loss of consciousness. [SAMDUP, 2003 - p 63]
These are the agonies of successive catastrophes: COLLAPSE, earthquake, FLOOD, secretion and accumulation of body fluids, DROWNING OR SUFFOCATION, FIRE, fever, EXPLOSION, collapse, the final spasm. Let's meditate...
A MAP FOR A DISINCARNATING
The Bardo Thodol talks about how to proceed in order to reach the abode of the so-called Primodial Clear Light after death, avoiding being diverted to 'lower worlds'.
The book describes a 40-day ritual of accompanying someone on their deathbed, and the signs that the time is approaching are extremely important for the spirit's future in the Beyond.
These signs or stages have a curious correspondence with what would be a planetary catastrophe with the violence of the four elements: earth, water, fire, air and, finally, the liberation of the spirit, aether.
In this context, violent death would not allow the ceremony of the 'Bardo, the spirit in an intermediate state; there would be no time.
The expression "Go to light" fits well with the priests' instructions, but according to the book, there are false lights. The priests guide the spirit to avoid the traps.
Let's meditate...

BLOOD AND BONES
(cut)
The end, we well know
is cease to be live
in shell of the body
in search of the light
to dye is the final, you know
don't fight with this fact
has born is a jump, is mortal
the end can be now
And when all was over
maybe you will find yourself
in some other strange place
so far from this wordly hell
who knows, you will be finally free
who knows, will be a soul in suffering
being a divine deep mystery
with an unknown hidden destiny
