New Acropolis organized an online lecture “Mysteries of life and death”. The attenders had an opportunity to view this subject that interests us all – but of which we often avoid speaking – from a philosopher’s perspective. Hearing ancient philosophers, we will find that life and death are not opposites, but parts of the same cycle, the same stream of life. Perhaps behind the fear of death, in truth, lies a fear of life: a fear of change or of inner transformation and growth.By recognizing and confronting what we fear we will discover an ability to live more courageously and freely.
