What does the word "deathless mean?"

Today's entrance is a question. I'll be trying to answer it along with you. What does the "deathless state" mean? Can it be entered? Can it be described with words? Does it mean liberation?

Hello Chris,

I think the Deathless State is another way to verbalize the concept of the eternity of life. I am told that the Deathless State is associated with Supreme Truth. If this is so, ‘Deathless State’ is another way to express what I would term ‘Truth Eternal’.

This being the case, my answers to your next three questions will be yes, yes, and yes.

Well, I think the deathless state is simply a direct, intuitive realization that all apparent beginnings and endings are merely conventional. - Brian
