Shocking News: Why I Sleep In A Coffin – Charlyboy by spywareczar(m): 7:50am On Apr 07, 2013
Sleeping in a Coffin?
Point of correction, I do not sleep in a casket, I
sleep on my bed, it’s big and comfy, I only lay in
my “casket”when I do my meditation because it
helps me to be focused, it tells me more about
the imminence of death. My casket is a reminder.
It wakes me up from slumber. It tells me, “guy,
you have got little or no time left, wake up, be
creative and work”. Continue…
Of course, when I read some of the comments of
my people, I know a good number of us are ill-
informed about quite a number of things. I think
it is more of what the casket represents that
shocks my people and they start reading
meanings into it, depending on their level of
understanding. But one question is, what if the
same wood that was used to build the casket was
used to make a sofa chair? May be, all the
hullabaloo about me sitting on a chair wouldn’t
have been there in the first place? So when
people vocalize their disapproval of my message
via the image of a casket, I understand that they
do that from a position of Fear, fear of what the
casket represents – Death. So whatever people
fear they antagonize. But, the fact that I have
reminded myself and even you about death does
not really change a thing. It won’t draw your
death near, and it won’t even shift it away. All it
does is simply a reminder, to thread carefully.
MY Coffin sensitizes
Only if a kidnapper can buy a casket for himself
today, and begin to lay inside, constantly
reminding himself that death looms even as he
goes about kidnapping and extorting money from
families. It’s possible to realize at a point that all
his activities will one day end up in a casket, and
there, his flesh will rotten. The same is applicable
to all evil doers. They need to realize, like in the
famous book, “Waiting for Godot” that the world
is bizarre and empty, as vanity plus vanity will
always end up in vanity. Crime no dey pay jor.
My Coffin preaches:
Take a critical look at my image inside the coffin, it
speaks volume. I always lay in my casket with my
cap, glasses, shoes on. I’m always well dressed.
Yes, it is always done intentionally to tell us that
your glory disappears with all the wealth you
must have acquired the very day you go to that
coffin. Your glory-your cap goes with you, your
vision-your glasses goes with you; your struggle-
your shoes goes with you. The only thing left of
you is your history and your legacy. The crux of
the message is to leave a legacy, so we can live
forever, not in the physical, but in people’s
memories. As for me, I will live forever. You dey

We are blind because of our fears
Who knows what any of us sees from the privacy
of our own blindness? Make no mistakes, each of
us is blind in a particular way, just as each of us is
sighted uniquely. Consider how each of us is
blinded by what we fear. If we fear heights, we
are blind to the humility vast perspectives bring. If
we fear Passion, we are blind to the comfort of
Oneness. If we fear change, we are blind to the
abundance of life. If we fear death, we are blind
to the mystery of the unknown. And since to fear
is something thoroughly human, to be blind is
unavoidable. It is what each of us must struggle to
overcome. To a large degree, I have overcome my
fear of death, all I ask God, is that may my death
not be painful. I’m sure some of you know how
my cousin who was killed by kidnappers died an
agonizing death. You see, in the course of our
lives, we all stumble and struggle, repeatedly, in
and out of relationship, in and out of the grace of
the hidden wholeness of life, most of us struggle
and stumble with the uncertainty of tomorrow as
Nigerians. I have discovered that in the course of
our lives, and as blind children, we may never
know what we are called to be until we have
learned what we are called to become by simply
overcoming our fears. In life, death is the most
important reminder of all activities. Abi you dey

God cares. Humans can never be God. Are u sinless? Only pray for him, Jesus mingled with evry one, gud or bad. Salvation is a personal race. U might be shocked to see him in heaven. It takes just "God am sorry"wit a repentant heart to make heaven.

I get his message and d meaning he ascribed to d casket.
One tin I have observed on nairaland is dis: once someone comments negatively on a post odas will just follow suit. Its childish to do that way.
We all will die someday and he meant we all shud try to leave a good legacy.
Besides d good the bad and d ugly will all be buried in a casket.

Mshewwww, so lying in a coffin is now a way to leave a good legacy. Why not dig a grave and lay there whenever you wanna meditate as your own way of keeping your own good legacy
