Memento Mori, Remember Death will come
For this topic, let’s imagine how we’d like to “leave this mortal coil,” to “make our exit,” or to “start pushing up the daisies.” The chapter reading for this week gives us ample examples and suggestions, a kind of blueprint, for how we could image this. These range from the personally eccentric examples laid out in the “Going out BIG” section, to the monumental markers on an architectural scale laid out in the section on “Ego,” or would you prefer to be physically preserved forever for all to see?
These are just some starting points to get you inspired- you don’t have to answer these questions, they are meant to fire up some ideas within your brainstorming.
ARE THERE SPECIAL ITEMS THAT YOU’D LIKE TO ACCOMPANY YOUR CORPSE? MAYBE IT’S THAT FAVORITE LIGHT SABER, LUCKY HAT, WEDDING RING, YOUR BASEBALL CARD COLLECTION, AN IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS OBJECT, OR THAT 1967 CHEVY CAMERO WITH WHITE LEATHER INTERIOR?
DO YOU WANT TO SHARE YOUR (CREMATED) REMAINS AMONG YOUR LOVED ONES? WHAT SHOULD THEY DO WITH THEM—PUT THEM IN AMULETS ON CHAINS, IN AN URN ON THE MANTLE, OR RESTING IN MORE TRADITIONAL PLACE LIKE A CEMETERY?
OR WOULD YOU SELECT A BURIAL, IN YOUR FAVORITE CAR PERHAPS, IN A CUSTOM KANE KWEI-STYLE COFFIN SHAPED LIKE A CHICKEN, OR IN A GIANT CRYPT WITH YOUR FAVORITE 60” TELEVISION, WITH A FULL BAR AND A BUTLER, OR WITH ANY OF THE OTHER THINGS YOU NEED IN THE AFTERLIFE?
DO YOU WANT A RITUALIZED CELEBRATION HONOR WITH FIREWORKS, DANCING, OR THE POPE, OR ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS FIGURE’S, BLESSING?
THESE EXAMPLES ARE ALL ROOTED IN ANCIENT TRADITIONS. THE ARTS OF WHICH IS COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER; PREDATING OUR CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONS. KEEP IN MIND THAT YOUR SCENARIOS ARE IMAGINARY, SO BE AS CREATIVE AS POSSIBLE!
