So 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.
What happens if you don’t identify
yourself with all this?
death isnt, just exists and its in real a dying
ReplyDeleteMorten hvad du beskriver er hvad jeg taenker af som ikke-vedhaeftet fil. Mange mennesker i den vestlige verden ser til den sksterne til at give dem deres identitet, uden ydre, deres identitet er dod.

ReplyDeleteMany people in the western world invest so much of themselves in the external, the house, job, spouse, etc...
ReplyDeleteThey depend on the external for their sense of well being and naturally have a strong investment in things turning out a particular way.
When things don't turn out how they hoped, their sense of well being is lost.
