In this case, you have asked us to only use part of our beliefs to answer your question. I was pointing out how impossible that is.

Tell that to the moderators. Often times posts will naturally move into other areas that, while not intended by the original post, are sparked by that original post. Creating a rule that demands that we put limits like this on where the thread can evolve is not really conducive to the free interchange of ideas and perspective.

This is evidenced in this very thread. I feel that what I just typed contains a perspective worth expressing, and it fits in with the flow of the thread quite naturally, relative to the way this thread has mutated and grown. The thread itself is not in any way derailed, in fact, later in this reply I will address the main, proposed topic of this thread, as to include my perspective on it. The less limitations placed on expression and conversation equates into increased spiritual development for all.

Personally, I do not feel anxiety over death, just as I do not feel anxiety when I reflect on the fact that my heart will likely continue to beat in the next moment. I do not inflict the experience of negative, seperating emotions on myself just because a natural occurence will occur.

I'm far too immersed in this present moment and this overwhelming experience right here to consider seperating myself from this heightened state of awareness, lowering my level of consciousness by letting my mind punish itself in an ignorant effort to prevent something that cannot be prevented. To seperate oneself from the moment for any reason is insanity.

I've already came to the full realization that I will die, and it does not effect me in any negative way. Essentially, "So what?". I already know that the experience of this individual, seperate perspective, distinct from all other facets of the universe, is an illusion that is unnecessary, and I'm well on my way to breaking that illusion, so the fear of that individual perspective one day disappearing does not exist. Therefore, in a sense, I actively seek death (not physical death, obviously) I do not upset myself emotionally when it rains, so I do not see why I should upset myself emotionally when any other naturally unfolding phenomenon carries out its unfolding. 


Peace.

i don't fear nor await it

it will happen and there will be no me to consider resisting

i really don't see the big deal

we are not the same person in the past or future, and die each moment

sleep is an eternal death that we somehow are born out of

and death itself, whether absolute or not, is no different

as we are all one being, and therefore

our experiences are sequentially experinced by the sum of our being

and as a whole, we are immortal
