Deaths in GR

[Thomas Vieth]

Howdy foax,
on the weekend I worked myself through some pages of Tim Ware's GR web guide 
(concordance). There is a special page for the deaths that occur in GR supplied 
by members of this list back in 95. 
I would like to open this one up again to create another string of discussion 
(hopefully) by saying that I think TRP being an epistemological monist 
(IMHO)would explain why he is neither here nor there on the this topic. That is 
to say, from the point of view of someone who views life and death as only (hm?) 
a change in energy status of the respective being, the distinction is no longer 
necessary to be made. 
And thus it goes with the rest of everything in his writings that would on the 
surface require a dualistic stand point. Mind you, there is an awful lot of 
dualism throughout his works. Just consider the recent pairings in this list. 
But all of that can be transcended by the monistic view point telling us that 
outer appearance and inner being of people, issues, or events are but two sides 
of the very same coin.
take, again, the issue of death. TRP has his narrator in GR say things like 
"moved to the other side"; when I remember correctly he even talks about 
something that he names "interface", in my view not referring to the computer 
term but to that interface that keeps ordinary consciousness from looking all 
the way through every day world's appearances. But when the narrator talks about 
"the other side", it seems clear that there is a transcendence at work, a 
lifting over and beyond duality.
IMO this lies at the heart of what TRP is trying to tell us. I'd appreciate some 
comments on this (admittedly) sketchy presentation of my thoughts.
Thomas
