Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have a question. If whom we are without our thoughts and stories is alive stillness, consciousness,something that comes from beyond the mind then when we die we lose consciousness, so I guess whom we are can no longer be felt, and I am not talking about the ego but of the alive presence I feel now when I go beyond the mind. Would appreciate any comments. Perhaps I am seeing incorrectly! Thanks, Vera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi Vera, you are seeing it quite correctly, .... So you are a realised being and you realised that your being is beyond your body, and now wonder what happens to your being when you are no longer your body ? you are right, if you are no longer your body, you can no longer sense and feel and understand yourself, but you will still be here as a being. And if you believe that who you are can not only be sensed by your own body, but also by other bodies, simply explain these other bodies who you are and how you can be sensed and your being can be felt even after you die. Lulu I have a question. If whom we are without our thoughts and stories is alive stillness, consciousness,something that comes from beyond the mind then when we die we lose consciousness, so I guess whom we are can no longer be felt, and I am not talking about the ego but of the alive presence I feel now when I go beyond the mind. Would appreciate any comments. Perhaps I am seeing incorrectly! Thanks, Vera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 fear of death ? the point is that you remain conscious, that you remain aware of who you are, that way there is no death, and how can there be fear where there is no death ? lulu what's the point? you mean to remind them so they won't have fear of death? ....
