Take from the book Life After Death. by Harold Klemp.
You are Soul...an eternal, individual spark of God, who can never die. Each person is a Divine being who comes to life on Earth with a spiritual purpose. Lifetime after lifetime, Soul grows in love and grace, ultimately to become a Co-worker with God.
A lifetime is a precious gift, an opportunity for spiritual growth and service to others. Most of all, life brings Soul the purity of love, compassion and grace.
Death is a doorway, a transition into the inner worlds. Births and deaths mark the journey of Soul. The translation, or movement, from one stage of experience to another is but a further step in Soul's journey home to God.
The purpose of the ECK teachings is to make you aware of yourself as Soul. You begin to realize your ability to move beyond the physical body. When Saint Paul said, "I die daily" he referred to this process. It is similar to death in that in the Soul body, one actually leaves the physical body to take a look at the worlds beyond.
Here one gains confidence and courage and becomes acquainted with the other worlds, so that when the time comes, Soul moves through the transition very smoothly, very naturally. Death loses its sting; the grave loses its victory.
Sometimes the transition is made so gradually that the person who is near death finds it a pleasant experience. I remember the way my grandmother would sit by her sewing machine and seem to be talking to herself. But she wasn't at all. She was speaking with friends and relatives from the other side; she was already able to see them.
