Rest in Peace Wayne W. Wirs<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n

On August 31, 2017, spiritual brother Wayne W. Wirs chose to make his transition. I think people should be able to choose when to die. At the end here are links to where I’ve spoken of my thoughts on my own family suicides.
\nOn August 28, 2017 11:48 AM, Wayne writes: “Having accomplished in this incarnation all that I had set out to do (spiritual awakening<\/a>\u00a0in 2009 and writing\u00a0Mystical Oneness<\/em><\/a>\u00a0last year), I left this planet on the morning of August 31, 2017 at one of my favorite camps along the Green River in Wyoming.\u00a0<\/span>Both of my former vehicles\u2014a 2013 Nissan NV2500 hightop van and a much older 1961 human male\u2014can be found at\u00a0these coordinates<\/a>. (I wrote this post earlier and scheduled it to be published after I detached from these silly, mortal remains.)<\/p>\n

Do not be sad for me. For years I\u2019ve looked forward to death. I\u2019ve longed to merge with the Light\/Her\/my Beloved again. Not out of sadness or depression or anything negative, but\u2014like two lovers once separated\u2014as an eagerly awaited\u00a0reunion<\/em>.\u00a0As I type this\u2014standing and in incredible physical pain\u2014I\u2019m\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0looking forward to being with\u00a0Her<\/a>\u00a0again. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Details<\/h2>\n

One of the key properties of awakening is the loss of attachments\u2014attachments to your ego, attachments to your job, attachments to your stuff, even attachment to life itself.<\/p>\n

One of the most profound benefits of losing the fear of death, is that you learn to appreciate life in all its beauty and splendor\u2014especially in the simplest, everyday things. I hope I\u2019ve clearly shared this love and appreciation over these many years of blogging.<\/p>\n

But with this lack of attachment to life also meant I lost my sense of\u2026\u00a0patience<\/em>\u00a0with physical pain or restrictions to my freedom. This unwillingness to put up with what millions of people put up with everyday (physical pain, homelessness, penniless, \u2026) probably makes me seem a bit prima donna-ish. From my perspective though, I\u2019m simply not attached to life, so why live a life I don\u2019t want to (homeless, broke, or in deep, physical pain)?<\/p>\n

So, over time, I set up some tripwires\u2014red-line events\u2014that should I encounter any one of them, I\u2019d simply check out of this life and start a new one:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Running out of money<\/li>\n
  2. Losing my home (my van,\u00a0Serenity<\/em>)<\/li>\n
  3. Unbearable pain not resolved by a trip to the emergency room<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The last one I added after my last go-round with my last kidney stone last year. I said, \u201cThat\u2019s it. I\u2019m not locking myself into a single location because of health or pain issues ever agin.\u201d Any of the above red-line events affect\u00a0both<\/em>\u00a0my freedom and quality of life.<\/p>\n

    About a month ago I slipped on a boulder along a river in Colorado and hurt my back. Since then the pain has been gradually building. I was able to make the trip down to Florida, but the flight back was pretty miserable. I suspect the fall caused some damage that my body is compensating for and this has started putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.<\/p>\n

    The pain really hit me though, a few days after the eclipse. After waking up, I almost called an ambulance because I couldn\u2019t figure out a way to get out of bed without \u201cdental pick to a raw nerve\u201d pain shooting through the right side of my body (9 of 10 level pain). I don\u2019t know what triggered this sudden and rapid escalation of the condition.<\/p>\n

    Long story short: I experience about 50-75 \u201cdental pick\u201d shocks of pain every day. Two visits to the VA and one to a chiropractor left me nothing but a six-day course of steroids, three days of pain meds (can you believe that? how to torture pseudo-homeless veterans), and seven days of muscle relaxers. They didn\u2019t perform any X-rays or MRIs. Apparently, even with a pulse rate of 130 bpm, they still figured I was faking it for the hydrocodone. None of the meds have helped, and the pain has only worsened every day.<\/p>\n

    Off topic, but maybe a stepping stone to Bernie Sanders\u2019\u00a0\u201cMedicare for All\u201d initiative<\/a>\u00a0would be to first implement a \u201cMedicare for All\u00a0Veterans<\/em>\u201d plan. Sort of solve two problems with one politically-friendly option and open the door for future healthcare growth. Eh, maybe my next life. Maybe a reader can pick up that mantel.<\/p>\n

    Anyway, as to the pain, to go from sitting to standing (and vice versa) hits me with at least three seconds of level 9 pain (swearing like a sailor while crying like a little girl) followed by 5 minutes of the pain gradually subsiding to about a 5 (my now daily and \u201cnormal\u201d pain level). Getting in and out of the driver\u2019s seat (with all its contortions) is even worse.<\/p>\n

    Sitting, because it puts pressure on the inflamed\/damaged\/who-knows-what-else sciatic nerve in my right glute (butt cheek) never gets less than a level 6 (usually 7) pain (like sitting on a thick metal rod or spike). Needless to say, this makes driving nearly impossible (I really should have stopped driving about a week ago, but a nomad who can\u2019t drive is, well\u2026). I\u2019m standing\u2014with painful shin splints in my right leg due to all the muscles compensating\u2014in order to type this.<\/p>\n

    I know, I know, I know. This pain\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0be fixed. Surgery (maybe); an injection of botox (maybe); physical therapy (maybe); \u2026. To which I must counter: VA health system; living in a van; loss of my freedom to wander; and \u201cIs it safe?\u201d levels of pain (Marathon Man<\/em>\u00a0(don\u2019t watch that scene, it\u2019s too upsetting)) 50-75 times a day\u00a0until<\/em>\u00a0it\u2019s resolved.<\/p>\n

    Plus no attachments to anything in life. Nothing\u00a0holding<\/em>\u00a0me here.<\/p>\n

    Simply put, I\u2019ve no patience for getting old. Patient enough to put up with a week of excruciating pain to see if the meds do their job, but not patient enough to fight what\u00a0is<\/em>. Okay, maybe I\u00a0am<\/em>\u00a0a prima donna.\u00a0?<\/p>\n

    (Status update August 30, 2017 9:59 AM: The pain has\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0subsided. If anything, it is worse due to my right leg muscles compensating for the right glute.)<\/p>\n

    Reincarnation<\/h2>\n

    I\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be coming back though. I still have work to do on the TaoGod(I) Aspect (of the\u00a0Nine Aspects of Being<\/a>). This is the Aspect of divine union and probably\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0She<\/a>\u00a0stopped me from writing\u00a0Being God: A User\u2019s Manual<\/em><\/a>. When you write a book on spirituality, you should at least be proficient (and ideally living one level above) the level you are writing about.\u00a0Being God<\/em>\u00a0was more of a theory\u2014a worldview\u2014than most my other, experiential and evidence-based works.<\/p>\n

    (Status update August 30, 2017 9:59 AM: I have spent these final days focusing on exactly what I am to help with the death process and merging with the Light:\u00a0I am Love<\/em>. Aware, intelligent Love. Everything else is just\u00a0the fog<\/a>\u00a0around me-as-Love. You are Love too.)<\/p>\n

    Now here\u2019s where you can do me a favor (as crazy as it sounds). If you have a child or grandchild born anywhere from nine months to, say, nine years from now, and they have a birthmark on their right butt cheek (which is the center of all the pain I\u2019m experiencing) or a damaged\/birthmarked\/missing right leg, then please introduce them to\u00a0Mystical Oneness<\/em>\u2014or at least the theory\u2014at an early age (you\u2019re a fan anyway\u2026 pass it on!).<\/p>\n

    Birthmarks are often reflections of trauma sustained during the last moments of the previous life (see\u00a0The Free Soul<\/em><\/a>). As I will be inhaling helium to cease this misery (you just go to \u201csleep\u201d) there won\u2019t be any violent trauma type of injuries\/birthmarks.<\/p>\n

    If I have any say in the matter, I\u2019m going to try to find a fan of my work, and choose them as my next family. So there you go, I\u2019m confessing one of my selfish reasons for writing\u00a0Mystical Oneness<\/em>: as a shortcut to my next life\u2019s awakening. So in nine months, start checking those babies\u2019 butts!\u00a0?<\/p>\n

    Mom<\/h2>\n

    Mom, my only regret in this life is that I had to go first and put you through this. You\u2019re just too damn healthy! I know you intuited this a few weeks ago in FL. Dad once told me that his \u201cdeath tripwire\u201d was if he ever got to the point he couldn\u2019t go to the bathroom by himself. The other day, I almost passed out\u2014my vision started to go dark\u2014from the pain of sitting on a toilet in a Walmart (toilet seats hit the glute at the exact spot which sets off the 9 level, dental pick to the nerve-type of shock and pain). Dad was a wise man. Please don\u2019t be too sad. I\u2019ll see you soon enough. I love you.<\/p>\n

    Jeff<\/h2>\n

    Jeff, there should be plenty of money in my bank account to handle all expenses. Save some money and toss my old body in the garbage for all I care. If you decide to sell\u00a0Serenity<\/em>,\u00a0Bob Wells<\/a>\u2014a friend and big name in van dwelling circles\u2014did a video on\u00a0Serenity<\/em>\u00a0not long ago. I\u2019m sure one of his tens of thousands of fans may be interested in her as there were a lot of positive comments on the video.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019ve also just paid another $360 to Media Temple (the hosting service) so the blog should be good for another two years. You\u2019ll have to figure out the password for the blog (username =\u00a0admin<\/em>\u00a0then my standard password + pattern that I hope you remember). All passwords should be accessible via Safari on my iPhone, iPad, or Macbook once you unlock these devices (if these devices haven\u2019t been stolen by whomever finds the van).<\/p>\n

    As for everything else, well, you\u2019re a smart guy and you\u2019ll figure out all the details. I love you brother. Sorry to leave you with another retirement project. You\u2019ll be on that sailboat soon.\u00a0?Kiss the kids and grandkids for me.<\/p>\n

    To All<\/h2>\n

    Do not feel sad. I have accomplished everything I have set out to do. No authentic spiritual teacher fears death, so why would they allow themselves to endure physical suffering?<\/p>\n

    If I could only share one thing to help you\u00a0grow<\/em>\u00a0it is to always remember this:<\/p>\n

    The less there is of you, the more there is of the Divine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And if I could only share one piece of advice for your\u00a0happiness<\/em>\u00a0it would be this:<\/p>\n

    Do everything for Love and everything you do will make you happy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    I\u2019ll see you soon (no one ever dies).<\/p>\n

    I love you,<\/p>\n
