Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 Hi Gabriel! Hello all just sharing my thoughts today with you. If all this is an illusion, what happens when the body dies? If all this is an illusion, then asking " what happens " is an illusion, and any answer will be an illusory gift to an illusory questioner. I can't imagine (imagine ha key word here), not being able to be with the people I love anymore, I think that is what scares me the most about the death thing. Yes. And it's not something that will happen in the future. The attempt to establish things as being existent (people, streets, feelings) is never more than an attempt to maintain a fiction, by a fiction. i know there is no death really, This statement is equally as illusory as any other aspect of the illusion. but I guess i am attached to my friends and body. Who is it believed to be able to have a separate existence, to be attached to things that the imagined someone construes as existing also? Hmmmm, the weird thing is Knowone can tell you about death really cause the ones who die arnt here! Where do you think they went? Here. They were here all the time. There is nowhere for them to go. We can imagine that they talk to us... but there is that word again. Wow! This IS an unknown adventure. And the mind wants an answer so it can feel secure. It wants to believe it is in a position to require an answer. It wants to believe that it ever had a secure position that could be protected. Do you ever think about that kinda stuff? Who me? Naaaaahhhhh.... And there goes the mind with mental dialogues attributing them to a reality that does not exist. Bye, bye mind. Now, only body left. Not the mind's concepts about a body. The real body, with no one to attach to it, and no things a part of it, to which to be attached. Just here. Ahhhhhh it is all so wird sometimes!!! I quess there is no answer cause it would come from the mind... NEXT!!!!! :-) There is an answer that doesn't come from the mind. But you won't find it in any of the words here ;-) The words here are equally aspects of an illusion as any other illusion.

Perhaps you think this is accomplished through death, but nothing is accomplished through death, because death is nothing. Everything is accomplished through life, and life is of the mind and in the mind. The body neither lives or dies, because it cannot contain you who are life. If we share the same mind, you can overcome death because i did. Death is an attempt to resolve conflict by not deciding at all. Like any other impossible solution the ego attempts, it will not work.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2003 Report Share Posted January 23, 2003 In the death of any attempt, is peace. I have been the attempt to know something. With the death of that attempt, nothing is known, or to be known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
