George Harrison was spiritual his whole life, not just after working closely with his friend Ravi Shankar. While he was still in The Beatles, George wrote “The Art of Dying” in 1966. It’s about George’s ultimate goal. The ex-Beatle wanted to scrub away all the loose ends in his life and to leave his body peacefully. He didn’t want his soul reincarnated and forced to walk the Earth to perform the tasks he’d left behind.
George had been working the art of dying his whole life, and the results paid off. His wife, Olivia, said he lit up the room when his soul left the material world.
