About this Quote

This quote by Stanislav Grof recommends that death is an important part of the human psyche, and is connected to archetypal and karmic material. Archetypal product refers to universal symbols and patterns that are discovered in all cultures, and karmic material refers to the idea that our actions in this life will have consequences in the next. By linking death to these 2 concepts, Grof is suggesting that death is a part of the human experience that is both universal and unavoidable. He is likewise suggesting that death is not simply an end, but a beginning, which it is a part of the cycle of life. Death is a reminder of our death, and can be a source of both worry and convenience. It can be a tip to live life to the max, and to take advantage of the time we have. It can likewise be a suggestion of the interconnectedness of all life, and of the significance of living in consistency with the natural world.
