Six Feet Under: best series ending ever?

[Ghost-Incarnate]

But 6FU's ending was just perfect and absolutely fitting for an at times
great, at times exasperating series. It gets my vote for best
series ending ever.

Unequivocally Yes! To expound upon what I posted last year
in archived article <***@reece.net.au>,
personally, I believe SFU's finale remains(pun) to date the
best single television series episode in television history.
It's a true work of art. The "bar" was definitely raised up!

For me, the magic of the final 'Six Feet Under' episode was
its emphasis on the pristine finality of death without hope,
entirely devoid of spiritual knowledge or psychic awareness,
strictly focused on the mortal human physical mind and body
without any reference to man's immortal psyche or soul body
who lives eternally in the respective heavenly realms a.k.a.
dimensions, or spheres, or planes, or sojourns as these are
often called. It's the proverbial dream within a dream--as
even our physical life can appear illusory to the unwitting.

It's mainly a cultural thing. The west has been dumbed down
for centuries regarding man's real nature as gods-incarnate.
And this is especially true of the atheist-agnostics, since
they've shut off their individual psychic, spirit awareness,
and are, of their own volition, not conscious of the spirit.
Granted, other fundamentalist religious types can similarly
forget their eternal spirit-being, as many of them often do.

It's as if they've forgotten all of their past incarnations,
all of their interim discarnate sojourns (in heaven & hell),
and they have no idea whatsoever that their deathless souls
are immortal as the Gods: having no beginning and no ending.
Why they choose to forget their divine heritage is a matter
for debate. I believe that it's because the past is far too
traumatic for them to come face-to-face with it, that's all.
And once that door is opened, they've heaven & hell to face!

Consider what happens to these people when they allow their
spiritual nature to become dormant, asleep at the wheel, so
to speak. This culminates in profound shame & contempt once
they physically die and slowly reawaken in the spirit world,
much as a newborn infant usually takes about a year or more
to awaken in the crystal clarity of his or her natural self.

In fact the only experiential difference between discarnate
spirit-people or ghosts and we physically-incarnate persons
is that we are predominantly focused in this material plane,
thereby animating our temporal physical extension of psyche,
whilst discarnate spirit-entities are predominantly focused
in the other circles or spheres of heaven & hell. That's it,
that's all that separates us from them. Rather, we ARE them.
We die the mortal death. They die the second immortal death...

Every soul haunts memories of their places in time, time in
places. It's just that most incarnated souls are unaware of
their own spirit activities, much less that of other ghosts.
Of course psychic mediums practice to be more aware of both,
as the sovereign eye of the Sky will strive to make perfect.

The grand SFU swan song gave us an intimate look at how the
atheist-agnostics view life and death. It made me feel very
empathetic--more at sympathetic--with them, with the gloomy,
funereal sorrow and physically heart-wrenching lamentations
they suffer in the presence of the grim Scythe of time, the
harsh by letters Kappa, Kronos, grand King of terror, Death
and Pluton-Hades' broad one-way door to oblivion: the Abyss
toward which more loving souls elevate to the right (Light),
whereas hateful souls descend to the left (demonic) regions.

Perhaps the best lesson learned from the SFU finale is that
it helps to see the CONTRAST between the light and darkness,
analogous to how, after adjusting to the darkness, striking
a single match in a subterranean cavern starkly illuminates
the whole with but an exiguous flame. The atheist-agnostics
just don't see it. Why is anybody's guess, but we can thank
them for creating 'Six Feet Under'. It was a fantastic show,
and its final episode is a hard act to follow. C'est la vie!

In Vigilance,

Another possibility, one with many adherents: that the in-
between times are spent on the astral plane, assessing the
work of the last life and planning the work of the next. Any
"heaven" or "hell" experienced is a self-created illusion,
according to what the person really believed was waiting,
and it only lasts until the soul gets really *bored* with
circling within the limits of its own imagination recognizes
instead its own true history and intentions.

As to why we don't remember, remembering the whole
story is what we do between lives, when we have the over-
all view; and at the end of our soul-evolution, when we
finally consider our particular pathway through the entire
range of human experience in embodied form. What we
set out to do in each of our lifetimes is to live that particular
one as fully as we can in order to learn everything possible
from it, and unless you're doing a lifetime in which you're,
say, paying a lot of karmic debts by acting as a psychic who
helps others connect with their own pasts, what good would
it do you to remember your past lifetimes?

I mean, here you are, reborn as a girl-child in rural
Afghanistan: as soon as you can talk you holler, "Hey, why
are you all treating me like crap? I was George Washington
in a former lifetime!" What happens next is, you get stoned
to death by a lot of outraged villagers, egged on by the local
mullah in the name of Allah. Besides which, how could you
concentrate on the realities of this life, which is what you
came here to do, if you're forever harking back to your life
of luxury as Jacob Astor, or your life of excitement and
prestige as Napoleon's Josephine? Let alone having dreams
about all your lives as a beggar, a gypsy, a pearl diver, a
whore, a cop, an executioner, a spy, a shady horse dealer,
a smuggler, a sailor (everybody's been a sailor), a wig-
maker, an slave building one of the pyramids, etc. etc.?
How could you keep from getting hit by a bus if you kept
seeing people you recognized from the past -- Oh God,
that's that guy I murdered in Thebes, and that guy was
my wife when I was a miller in Dorchester -- we wouldn't
be able to handle it with our limited little primate brains.
Only the freed, discarnate spirit if big enough for that.

Just another theory, and thanks for posting yours.

It was one of the greatest endings to a series that I've seen so far.
What it has done, at
least for me, is force me to contemplate my own mortality, my place in
the universe, and
what happens afterward. I often ask myself during quiet moments
questions such as:

Is this it? Is this *all*? The universe is vast, and my time is
relatively short. Why am I
deprived of the means to visit any of it?

What is the purpose of being here aside from working my 40 for about 45
years, using
the entirety of the weekends to recover from working, and paying the
associated bills?

Is there an opt-out if I don't like where I am and what I do? Not just
an opt-out of my
current situation within the geographic area where I live, but to some
other "plane of
existence" where the rules and situation are totally different, and why
can't I choose?

Of course, there's no solid, sure answer to such questions. The dead
don't come back
(like a favorite uncle who died a little more than a month ago at 60)
and there is no
omniscient "universal authority" to consult, so you're left to work out
the answers on
your own (if any).
