Deeply contemplating this i suddenly came to a point where i realized that when we die everything has to be let go of, EVERYTHING.

This made me feel such an intense pain & tears started running down my face, it showed me how strong & deep the identity/attachment with this body is & how we all live in constant fear of death, running away from our true selves by identifying with & trying to satisfy these hungry egos which can never be fulfilled.


Yes we all have death anxiety and we always will as long as we live IMO.

Leave behind all these objects, find out who you really are beyond material existence, go deeper into your mind then is casually done, dont be a sheep & follow the crowds beliefs or find out the truth from a book, question yourself most of all, even your thoughts, find out for yourself what this is all about, it all depends on you, only you can bring yourself to the end of this journey we call life...its all inside you.


This is one of the millions of ways people try to pacify their death anxiety. We tell ourselves we can find a way to be without this anxiety. We cannot IMO.

In another thread I believe you claimed to be already realized.

i dont understand, what have i regurgitated?

everything i talk about comes form my own insight i dont read books anymore tbh becuase you can only teach yourself from your own inner direct experience & live from that, knowledge from books just washes away with time...




Why do you seek to teach us then?

regurgitation and repitition are what ensure attachment.
please bear in mind that attachment is not evil
good and evil are christian simplifications that are unnecessary and not helpful especially when trying to understand attachment.

when the buddha references sangsara and attachment, he is talking about the "problems" of life which we all share.

one does note escape sangsara and attachment, but when one sees what it is, one can navigate it to en-lighten the load, to be enlightened.

so, you need to see
Quote:

where are the attachments?
how does letting go of attachments occur?




the attachments are the natural connections that we form,
some are formed aggressively and willingly,
and some are formed without wisdom, intelligence, will, or anything except circumstantial repetition, and regurgitation.

you are fortunate if you can get into a repetition of positive ideas
but the perspective you need to understand attachment involves more than a day off.
