Before It Finds You

 Find death before death finds you.

Eckhart Tolle

People have an essence and a personality...more rare for people to have more essence than personality these days. Did Ivan IIIyin say that first?  Well, I guess Christ said it first when He said we must die to be reborn. 

Finding death means being able to get beyond our form identity to our essence identity while we are still alive. Sometimes that form identity, and what we associate with it, is taken away from us. Whenever our identity is basd on form...we will suffer.  We need to get to the essence behind that form. We need to, at least,  de-emphasize that form identity,

All is well
