Death on the earth is a birth above

"What a worry it is for the doctor and hospital staff when a child
that's about to be born presents feet first! Yes, because a child
coming into the world should present head first. But this is just
the physiological aspect of the matter; the position a child is
born in has so much more to teach us.
Watch how swimmers diving into the water launch themselves in
head first, and when they want to come out of the water they do
the opposite and raise their head. The fact that a child comes
into the world head first shows that the spirit, descending from
subtle regions, has to dive into a much denser world. This
position is symbolic of the spirit sinking into matter. And
conversely, when people die, they leave a very dense region to
enter a subtler region, just like the swimmer coming up out of
the water into the air, which is subtler. So birth is a form of
death. Yes, the birth of a child is a death in the subtle
regions. And death on the earth is a birth above."
