The experience of death is all I have to look forward to.
I've already tripped and skydived, I've done it all accept died.

I think birth and death are two neat moments

"Yes I am alive, I think you can be approching death, yet come back. It was the build up to death, but I did not die."

If you truly were approaching death, wouldn't there be a risk of going too far? Why haven't lots of people died by tripping too hard?

"AS you can walk up to a tree, recognise it as a tree, but you may not climb it."

A tree is an object, not an experience. You have definately experienced what it is like to see and feel a tree. You can only speculate about what the experience of death is, you have no way to connect the feelings you have while tripping hard, to the feelings you experience when actually dying other than assumptions.

I think in death, we will be able to experience the lack of everything. and to know what that lack is. true peace


--------------------
Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Dude! Lots of people have died by tripping too hard...and they all came back to tell their tale :wink:

I think theres a confusion over what death is.  Im saying death is an experience, death is not the end.

I kinda like how you said that.


Birth is also an experience. And to tie it in with what you said before: Your current last birth, was preceeded by your past final death experience.

So why don't you remember? Could it be a result of trauma? Thinking that you are dying is rather traumatic. Sometimes the sub-conscious hides traumatic events from your conscious mind so that you are not overwhelmed.

Can such a memory ever be accessed? Can one recall a past life?

If cycling through the physical realm is considered.. Would it be possible to do something or leave behind some kind of signs so that you, in the future, may recognize them as being your signs/symbols that you left behind for yourself?

Perhaps if they "spoke" to you..

If so.. Then the ultimate question may be... To what extent would you go, in order to do something for yourself?

And to what extent would you go to search for a message from a previous life? :laugh:

(I know it's the same question, but just helping with the logical extension) :smile:

"Dude! Lots of people have died by tripping too hard...and they all came back to tell their tale"

That's my point... how would you know if that's the same experience as actual death?

The end or not, having your heart stop permenantly might be an entirely different experience than when you take a lot of mushrooms and think you're experiencing death.

Back to my original point. Why do so many people belive the expierence on a trip to be death?

Yes, non of us can know that the ego death expierence is the same as the death we shall expierence at the end of our lives, so why does it feel like death?

I've always figured my ego tells me I'm dying, when in fact I fail to percieve reality as ME for a span of time. Which you can equate to temporary "death" if you want to. /shrug

"so why does it feel like death?"

You mean, why do we THINK it feels like death.

Probably because in our minds, death seems like a very huge and important transition, and it's a huge fear.

Why do so many people think that the government or the CIA is conspiring against them when they go crazy?

Considering how our brains release all that DMT when we're dying, I think that a high dose DMT trip would be a lot like dying.

Yeah that damn DMT release is the one that made humans belive in all spiritual stuff. If what you consider to be your life is the energy that flows through your body then yes we technacly do end up back here over and over agin as we die. I guess you can call it reincarnation.. However i highly doubt this energy has any memories cells so im lableling all after-death experiences as just "pre death tripping".

Re: The Experience of Death [Re: sirreal]

here are my death experiences....
first as a kid i nearly died of pnemonia twice, i've nearly drowned atleast twice, nearly been hit by several cars(missed by inches), i was in a truck wreck, as a kid i used to walk on top of the monkey bars in my socks at a day care, nearly fell a couple times, saw my whole life flash before me at age 5. Been in a few other situations that could have went bad in a heart beat too. And on my first shroom trip i thought i might be dead, then eventually became sure of it, and that the after life was me and my 2 friends driving down country roads Forever.
In all those experiences and probably some more i've forgotton, i had to face the possibility of death, except maybe the pnemonia because i was to young to really know what was going on. The shroom trip was the most intense because it was the only time i actually thought i was dead. I had to confront forever and really face what that word means. The experience was as real as anything i've ever experienced. I'd say it also set the bar a lil higher in regards to what can get to me now too. I've always been pretty laid back and unaffected by things, and i've never seemed to have the fear of death that many people do, maybe because it almost happened several times when i was young, and everytime it has almost happened i always remember thinking, hmmm that wasn't that bad. I mean it wasn't fun, but it wasn't unbearable either. Also a few years ago i was sitting on the couch watching tv and it suddenly occured to me i was going to die. Now we all know this...but we dont all really KNOW this. Unlike usual and most people this time i didnt' let myself ignore it or not think about it. I intentionally tried to face it that time. And after felt like i had even less fear of death then before. NOw the trip where i thought i died was the hardest to cope with, earlier i thought i might be going insain, then thought i might be dead, then believed we were dead. That was the hardest thing to cope with, but i did.
I sat there for almost an hour alternating every few seconds between a state of horrible anxiety and fear and a state of acceptance and contentment. Back and forth, back and forth, every couple of seconds. My friends could tell i was agitated but however much they thought i might be freaking out, i promise that i was indeed 100 times more freaked. like i said before that experience permantely set the bar higher, from there on it has taken even more to begin to bother me then ever. Also having survived it without loosing my mind, which i sincerely thought was going to happen at the time, has kinda given me a lil confidence boost. I simply cant imagine experiencing anything worse then i did, and i survived it, and stayed sain. Go me! Anyways after that first trip and in part because of it, i eventually became motivated to start meditating regularly. Very soon i experienced a moment that i can only describe to be like the accounts i have read of satori or kensho. i'm not saying it was that, i dont know. But what i am sure of even more then the thinking i was dead experience, it was the most profound experience of my life. in literally a few seconds my entire perception of reality changed.
Everything around me literally looked different. The lighting in the room changed, and i felt like i was seeing everything for the first time, as it really was. A feeling washed over me unlike anything i even knew was possible, and in that instant i just knew that everything was exactly as it should be(and it was good), and that there was never any reason to fear anything ever. For two weeks i walked around in a state of after glow and near complete fearlessness. Eventually the experience began to fade, even though i still meditated, but that has pretty much leveled off and i've kept a good deal of the fearlessness, increased confidence, peace of mind, and everything still literally looks different, occasionally it seems to go back to the way it was before, but as soon as i notice that, it all comes right back. Watching a movie in a theater is especially surreal now. Before the experience, through most of my life i felt like i was about to wake up at any moment and that none of this was real, ironically after.. everything was hyper real, but still somehow easier to cope with. Anyways i'm mentioning this experience because it was kinda like dying, or being born, its hard to say, maybe they are the same, i dont know, i just know that my life before that moment seems like the memory of a dream, and my memories after seem like memories of real life. there was more to the experience then all that but that was the stuff most impressed upon me. I changed as much in those few seconds as a person then i had in the last 10 years probably. The point is that experiece took even more of my fear of death away.(and everything else too).
The most recent experience i can remember right off hand relating to death was a dream i had awhile back where i was in a car wreck in the dream and the car caught on fire and i was being burned alive inside of it. Atfirst i was a lil scared but then noticed that the fire stopped hurting, and that even though it was still all around me i was ok, and it occured to me that i was dead...but i was still there and everything was the same and ok, and then i woke up. Just kind of an intresting experience. Anyways now the only fears related to death that i seem to have left is the fear of any pain associated with how i die, and how my death will affect others. other then that i'm kind of curious about it, and though this may sound strange to some, i'm almost looking forward to it. but i'm not in any hurry just yet to die.
Sincerely,
That which is, and has no choice but to be

Sole worthy, is english your first language? Not that what you are saying would make sense in any language..

"Why do so many people belive the expierence on a trip to be death?"

There are dozens of possibilities. What do you think it proves that people mistakenly believe they are dying on shrooms?

Thanks for your input ZenGecko :smile: nice read, man youved diced with death often eneough to be a pro :wink:

MIxomatosis - English is my second language, I am yet to find my first.

"There are dozens of possibilities. What do you think it proves that people mistakenly believe they are dying on shrooms?"

I dont know about "mistakenly" beliveing they were dying. They were dying, I think it is only when you come face to face with death you realise how damn profound that event is. 

Maybe I should claify what I mean by death. This is all relating to the ego death experience, which I belive mimics the death we will expierence at the end of our lives. This ego death is not the end for us, we do return in a way that imitates rebirth.

When the ego finds itself in a situation when it is being forcefully shoved aside to unblock the discourse between wisdom and love, one of the last-ditch efforts it attempts is to exploit the survival instinct and suggest to the Self that death is imminent, thus creating a motivation on the part of the self to engage the ego in an ego-sustaining dialogue.

Re: The Experience of Death [Re: Flare]

now that is a good question. I have my own definition of what the ego is, and im fairly clear about it, dunno if it ties in with others beliefs though. I think at the core the ego is the sence of self. The sence of being a seperate single entity.

so youve found some this year then? I havnt been out on a proper hunt yet, might go the weekend, I have seen some about though.
