Did you ever read Search by his widow, Diane, who had a vision of Pike's death in the desert?
--
An aside: I've been thinking about death lately, feeling fragile myself. And I wrote up as today's blog a dream about "going to Hollywood" this morning, which can, I think, be seen as an answer to my fears--
In the dream, which was on the surface rather silly, had some powerful metaphors--
I lost my way to my people. I was guided by an old woman, up a spiral staircase ("stairway to heaven")--at one point, I lost my purse and all my money, too, but found it intact--all was well, and we continued. I found my family. The old woman took me right to them.
I do think there must be a system in place to make sure we are all right.
We got here safely. Perhaps the cloud of forgetfulness is important--otherwise, how could we bear to be in such a heavy realm? It would drive us mad...
Is there ever an account of people who are born with that door still open?
