I guess I'm saying that death has the possibility of tasting good.


Ok fine. Now what's the benefit of your death? To yourself and others. :mushroom2: :heart:

Once you FULLY come to the understanding that you will die. It seems to hold no fear anymore. Maybe you will experience some instinctual fear, like the animal body will react in self preservation, but the acceptance on the emotional level is already there. :mushroom2:

I'll have the possibility to taste good. :razz:

If I taste good to some creature, that's as much a benefit to that which eats me, as it is to my ego for knowning that something wants to eat me.

I think theres diferent levels of understanding death, you can only fully appreciate it with ego loss, and even then I think the human brain is incapable of fully understanding.

If I could, I would take away your ability to die and give you a Ferrari instead. The car will die after some years, but your torture would go on for eternity.

It'd be an interesting experiment, I'd come back to you during the Black Hole Era in a few 10s to the 1000s of years and see how you're faring, and whether the car was worth it.

So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

Death is the benefit of change, an ending to suffering and a recycling of your resources back to the universe.


Stop it! You're gonna make me want to die!  :crazy2: :wink:

Imagine a universe where you did not die. You lived forever, whether you were being burned alive, whether you had all your limbs amptutated, whether you became a vegetable, you existed for infinity. You never died, so you lived longer than the universe itself, and continued on in the worst of all possible tortures.

Death is the benefit of change, an ending to suffering and a recycling of your resources back to the universe.


^^^^^^ :thumbup:

Knowledge of our death is the ultimate incentive to do something worthwhile.Realizing our time is limited should spur us to do something creative, to be sincere to ourselves and others and to not hold back our expression.

Of course our ambitions are Ego drives. So the cosmic joke is: even though we feel inspired to be creative forces in this world, the source of our drive is annihilated at death so it really doesn't matter. While alive on this planet the notion of "self" identifies what we are. But when death comes and the self is annihilated, We are freed from that tiny notion and although it may seem like a scary idea, it isn't really because the reference point of our fear is dissolved along with everything else that is a source of fear in our ego "reality".

Death is when all the briliant non-dualistic...umm monolistic? minds get enlightened and stop believing in the illusion of ego

After their consciousness stops existing they will know the truth that there is no ego, and all will be monolistic for ever and ever

Jumped in a river, what did I see?
Black eyed angels swimming with me
Moon full of stars and astral cars, all the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and all my futures
We went to heaven in a little rowboat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

How so unique? Everyone does it and maybe lots of times. Who knows. But then every death like a snowflake is unique. :mushroom2:
