Orb Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Death is something coming to an end. What is it you really don't want to come to an end? When thought identifies with something and that "something" fades away, that is death too. Thought identifies with "I", we can say this is the primary identification. Then in thought, this "I" identifies with objects (money, sex, fame, etc.), we can say these are secondary identifications. When this "I" loses one of the objects it identifies with those are micro-deaths. In other words when "I" no longer has an experience of some object it identified with it is a micro-death. The aversion to loss is actually the saving grace, aversion is the Key and the Lock! Just use it as a key instead of a lock! The micro-deaths point to something so cool. I call it micro death because these little losses point to the true aversion, the true death. (No worries, no one's gonna die 😊) When "I" and the experience structure is dissidentified with, it's mega-death! "I" and "Experience" create each other, no experience, no I. So the true fear/aversion is the end of all Experience, the end of packaging direct experience, turning it into an experience/memory, then getting high off of it, abusing the memory like some object, objectifying oneself, apparently.

ivankiss Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Undo You At life's four-way stop The tinges in your shadow drop Fate pulls you down for the count With broken promises to amount Time seal our ways To the heart of our hiding place When all our lifelines have been crossed Some scars can never heal from what we lost To fail the test and depart the strong Is to light the way where you have gone For only our funerals to come A requiem in death, a song And it seems to be That consistency is not what lingers ahead But a virtue of the dead One of these days Hours pass yet the night stays When your spirit won't turn anew The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo youBreathing lifeless We are not afraid to die Breathe in life's less You're afraid not to live Quote Mention Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
