Accepting Inevitability
    #19388497 - 01/08/14 02:45 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I've been thinking about death lately. A lot. I wish I could avoid it, and just run, far, far away, where it can't reach me. I wish immortality was possible, and that you could just get a shot or take a pill and live forever. I know, no matter how far I run, how high I climb, how deep I dig, that it will still find me, and return my body to the earth. For those of you who believe that death is the end, how do you come to terms with it?

you cannot be forever never .. and there is no pill for that .. any drug is to die faster
while the earth is obviously for evil powers where we are just like animals rights abuse .. so we never get here from our will nor ever could .. when we are totally forced like slaves to be each second of our being and each breath is never to us

the worse thing to know is what all up don't care about us at all .. they abuse us too like down powers dimensions held by god and nature

to me I am forced to come to want to die .. to die really forever like never existed and never will keep any will or mean of me left

There's no real coming to terms with it imo, ya just face it every day pretty much.
I get better at dueling with it, find shields and meaningful distractions and try and enjoy the life being lived.
It is hard there's no doubting that, and many of the people on this planet don't seem to to want to face death on a daily basis, yet I do find a great benefit from doing so.
It is a constant reminder to enjoy the present moment in its passing, the clock is counting down and that brings anxiety, an anxiety I can only try to channel into living fuller and to not to die with regret.

I don't agree with the immortality bit, as much as I love myself I don't want to spend an eternity with me, or any human being for that matter.
The human brain wasn't meant for that kind of thing anyhow, you'd go off the deep end after only a few hundred years. :tongue:
Personally I am very grateful that I will one day die and be off this endless roller coaster, or just not be at all.

How do you come to terms with it? I don't know, honestly.
But when you look out your window you see thousands of ways we all do it every day.
We value what we need, lend significance to what we want to find meaning in.
We gotta make it ourselves if we want to be the source of our own inner peace and if we want tell death to fuck off for a little bit longer.

I sleep a lot lately in preparation for the bigger sleep.  I hope to die in my sleep so if I sleep more then the odds increase of dying in my sleep.

That's a tough question.  I don't think anyone actually does come to terms with it unless they are right about at deaths door. In the mean time try and distract yourself with fun and interesting things.  Like a bad marriage, TV, fast food, Football, cheap material junk, etc.  :shrug:

By investigating how it makes me feel, and staring it. There are different times when death is positive and negative. When I'm overwhelmed, I can't wait for death -- nothingness, and no worries, no suffering. In these cases, death is my savior, and I label it as positive.
At other times, when I'm down, death's labeled as a negative thing for me. The loss of "me", and all that I love. My values.

In both cases, when it arises, I try to inquire, what's threatened? What does it solve? How does it make me feel better or worse? Why does it do this?

I see, in the negative cases, it's fear of the unknown. It's the loss of my sense of self and everything I cling to. In the positive death cases, I'm running away from things that I don't want to face, like suffering and fear. I try to ask, why would having a permanent help me? Why would not having a self help me? Who would become immortal? If I was immortal, would that really solve my fear? What if I couldn't think about things in abstract ways? You get the idea. :tongue:

Don't get me wrong, sometimes it can be rough when your emotions are running high while trying inquire things because people's values are threatened, and those threatened values translate into emotional responses, but I've found that it doesn't make the anxiety go away, and it doesn't make the bliss of it go away... they just become somewhat trivial. :sun: Sometimes anxiety wins, and sometimes bliss wins the forefront of my emotional landscape. But even that doesn't matter. Those too should pass as well.

As the Buddhists say, everything changes...

I was dead before birth and that wasn't too bad. I actually find the idea of ceasing to exist kind of nice at times. Yes life is full of awesome shit, it's beautiful at times, but it's also sad, confusing, absurd etc....The idea of just becoming nothing sounds kinda nice.

You don't die. Your flesh body dies. If you have trouble accepting this fact, I would just say trip more :nyan:

I've found especially Ayahuasca ceremonies have a lot to say about death of the physical body, and dispelling the fear. Try a few, might help.

Also, surround yourself with some nice Huichol art, it shows a funny and amusing side to death :biggrin:

Be careful what you wish for, I say...  why would anyone want to live forever? A soulmate maybe? Why not end it together.. be impaled in the same sword..

The one who seeks fame (anything really), will not become happy because of it... that is the madness of being human..

life manages to continue through births and deaths of members of the species. It always has managed. Death is not a problem to the species.

The individual has an opportunity for self-hood, discovery, expression, and even acquisition of wealth, adornment, and pageantry.
Much of it is diversionary,
a pass-time in the process of life,
Some of us adore life, and its pageantry, some take the diversionary pass-time seriously and have to fear death to prove how serious the big show is.
