that i was freaked out in a place that has no measurements, no time or space and i was reduced to a single thought, like i was condemned to the smallest and the most important piece of existence, being essentially non-existance, yet not death.
i don't know what death is but that was scarier and greater. it was not an end, it hadn't ever begun, it just WAS. a rabid dog eating itself, a snake swallowing its own tail.

Non-existence does not exist.
The brain is not the mind.
Don't ask me to prove it, you'll have your proof soon enough.

So then tell me, if non-existence does not exist, what does exist?

that's exactly why it is "called" non-existence by our linguistic center in the brain. i don't think i can comprehend it on a sufficient level for me to articulate it.
and i don't feel the need to make myself understandable to others by it, words only confuse and muddle the memory of it.

"It seems there is something rather than nothing, Non-existence does not exist. I'm trying to explain the essence of Fear To get a realization of what I consist."
Those are actually lyrics from one of my favorite albums.
I once heard it while tripping and understood it very deeply somehow.

during the tail end of that trip i asked my sitter to put on my pantera cd and "Immortally Insane" started playing. there was nothing more horrifying than to listen to this:
Destroying, destroying Foundation, foundation I'm going, I'm going Forever, forever
Immortally insane Immortally insane Immortally insane Immortally insane

Exactly, I don't understand why folks say believers in the afterlife are just afraid of non-existence at death.
An eternal individuated consciousness and continuous re-embodiment seems far more frightening...

Wht fabricate such a fairy tale unless there is fear of cessation? There is no evidence to back up such a story and no other reason makes sense.

Oh, non-existence exists for sure. I always keep repeating this. Think of a dried-out river. Then I usually say, I am happy for the non-existing nuclear-plant in my garden. And I am sad about my non-existing girl-friend, which keeps visiting me almost every day.
