The
content of one’s mind at the moment of death is said to be of extreme
importance in determining one’s next rebirth.
Awakening
from a dream is like rebirth. Our dream
body dies and we arise in a different form than we had conceived of only
moments before in our dream.
Our life
has no fixed or specific limit in the sense that we are not preordained from
birth to die at some destined moment.
Rather, it is more a case of having certain danger points in our lives.
At every
moment we have the choice of action, and as such have the ability to mold our
future. The principles of karma are negative when we do not apply self-control,
and when we live cruel, harmful lives.
