What is death?
How can you find out without
that it only is a belief you adopt?
Is it possible to be death present
in passive listening, not another's death, but your own death?
It demands that you don't
identify yourself with something, what of course is very difficult.
Most of us identify ourselves
with our furniture, with our house, with our wife or husband, with our government,
with our country, with the image we have of ourselves, and we identify
ourselves with something greater – the world-image, which perhaps is a tribal
feeling that expands to embrace the nation; or you identify yourself with a
special property, a special image.
I am not death.
