Fear of death is fear of the Unknown.
Realize the Wonder, the Eternal Unknowability of the Totality of Existence, and fear of death is transcended.


from here


Adi Da Samraj > Quotes >
“Fear of death is fear of surrender to Infinity.
Learn to surrender, to exist at Infinity while alive, and fear of death dissolves.
Fear of death is fear of the Unknown.
Realize the Wonder, the Eternal Unknowability of the Totality of Existence, and fear of death is transcended.
If happiness or freedom depends on the Answer to the Question, then there can be no happiness or freedom.
The Question cannot be satisfactorily or finally Answered.
For one who abides at Infinity, happy and free, at ease with his Ultimate Ignorance, the Question and the Answer are equally unnecessary.
What began will come to an end.
What is Wonderful is not threatened.
The Process of the Totality of Existence is Transcendental and Eternal.
Only a fraction of the Whole can pass away in any moment, since only a fraction of the Whole appears in any moment.
Therefore, the Heart Itself is always already Full of Wonder and Love.
"I" is the body-mind, the fraction of the Whole that is now appearing and will soon disappear.
"I" must be surrendered to the Heart, to the Whole, which is Infinity, Wonder, and Love.”

― Adi Da Samraj, The Eating Gorilla Comes in Peace: The Transcendental Principle of Life Applied to Diet and the Regenerative Discipline of True Health

It's about time human beings grew out of this illusion. You're NOT alive, nor will you ever die. It's a myth..

How could anyone have a self declaration of something that can't even be definitively understood? I've heard of another subject of debate that sounds alike; called "faith".

I sometimes have moments where I think I'm living a dream, no one is real nothing is real, I snap out of it, but do I really ? Or am I right ? But why I ? If no one or nothing around me is real then what am I, am I just a pair of glasses floating about ? But floating around in what ? if there is nothing who can perceive me if nothing is real why ?

Why ?

I find it strange that people say we don't know what happens when we die. It's pretty obvious: pumps stop, as does electrical activity, cells die and we decay. This happens to every living being each and every time, and has been studied ad nauseum. As far as we can tell, our mind and consciousness is dependent on, and resides inside, our brains. Damage the brain significantly, and you damage the mind. But somehow if the brain is destroyed completely (dies), the mind lives on? Believing in dualism, or that 'mindstuff' works differently than other matter, is purely based on faith and has no empirical or credible evidence.

I know that I'm going to die someday, it can happen anytime. I'm totally okay with it. What could be more fair? It applies to us all. I'm not afraid of the unknown, or in this case, the known...

"Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist." - Epicurus

“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”- Mark Twain

When you no longer fear death, there isn't much left to be afraid of. I think it makes life much easier and more enjoyable when you aren't worrying about something that is 100% for sure going to happen.

I know man. I've been camping out in cell bio and mol. bio. for some years now - I mean seriously studying it - and have become TOO aware of some super fucked up roads to death. I have a 9 mm for the really fucked up shit like ALS and certain cancers (not mention fucking Alzheimer's). Probably wouldn't ever use it but at least I have it.

I'm afraid of death. If by death you mean a 14" aids filled black cock laid across my face while in pigtails on my knees and cameras and bulbs flashing all around me then yeah death sounds terrible.

problem with alzheimers is they don't know it man.
Dementia is a motherfucker... reduces you to an infant all over again.
The cycle of life..
come in with no teeth, shitting your pants, and you sometimes leave the same way...
the quote tyler has is perfect.
the one from mark twain.

Alzheimer's eventually reduces the person to nothing. It goes even further than destroying our ability to know who we (and everyone else) are. It progressively destroys every nuance of brain-body-personality functionality. It's gotta be scary as fuck until the afflicted even lose theor limbic functionality and can no longer fear.

It has to be super fucked up while the person is still cognizant enough to feel the effects of being sucked into a bottomless pit of brain killing quicksand - with zero hope of escape.

All that we consider to be us gradually melts away until finally, critical autonomic nervous functions such as beating the heart and breathing are critically interrupted.
AD is 100% fatal.
