Healthy Dying
Gates to the mystical experience

Healthy Dying
The final journey we undertake (at least in embodied form) is towards death. Therefore, at this highest level, we describe the twelve phases or aspects of healthy dying. The term ‘healthy’ does not imply dying without physical symptoms, but rather signifies a gradual spiritualisation and acceptance of death as a redeemer and renewer.

Gates to Mystical Experience
Additionally, twelve fields or gates of mystical experience can be identified at this level. These experiences can also be attained at a younger age through physical exercise, ecstasy, meditation, and silence. We explore these gates by highlighting the mystical qualities of various worldviews and religions. It’s important to recognise that our gateways can be quite ordinary, such as witnessing a sunset, listening to music, performing arithmetic, or reciting poetry. It is the mature mind that can utilise any gateway to reach the mystical experience, as described by Goethe as the “public secret.”

In Bitcoin-Leadership this represents the biographical approach to old age and dying. In Stoic terms, it’s akin to “memento mori” (remember your mortality), which advises constant contemplation of one’s own mortality. We draw closer to God as we draw closer to death. However, even young Bitcoiners can reach these highest levels of initiation, as they serve as gateways to achieving the lowest possible time preference.
