6 DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DEATH (And even some contradictions)
There might be more, but these are mine
- Physical death; like dying, as in the way we usually read it. The end of life of an organism or cell. In humans and animals, death is manifested by the permanent cessation of vital organic functions, including the absence of heartbeat, spontaneous breathing and brain activity
- Stagnation; as in stuck in an established routine, mired in monotony, inactive, nonproductive, depressed, low in spirits
- Isolation; as in lack of contact with people
- Liminality; as in being between two different existential planes
- Love; as in the lack of freedom; feeling just like religion sounds
- Transformation; as in a physical transition from one medium to another, the biological process of changing physical, shapeshifting, dying, a new life, converting, metamorphosis, a psychological transition from one level of consciousness to another, the making of a decision; one that is permanent even though the outcome might be contemporary. Trying is not needed; only desire to do.
