The end for each one of us is truly unpredictable, but I wish that, on my deathbed, I would be able to convince my loved ones:
--not to grieve for me, for I will soon be back in a succeeding lifetime, in the same karmic group, and, I suspect, baptized in the same name;
--not to fear my activities in the afterlife, for I will always be a spirit guide to my loved ones and my loyal students and will be a haunting ghost only to those who did me wrong (I am the latter already);
--convince everyone that I led a happy life, for I was free and I had fun, unlike other men, who were constrained and suppressed, if not oppressed, by convention, tradition, religion, and rules designed by men to control other men;
--let the world know that I'll be with them again as soon as I can and even before they know it.
