WE are called to Die in order to LIVE May 14, 2010, 04:02 PM

[Anais2]

And what can be grander than this morning, and every morning, and all the mornings to be?

"Death takes time to grow the things it kills" said Burroughs.

True, this, of all nature. Again and again, the seeds are there.

I've wondered if life seems to go by fast because of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? Can the expansion of the universe affect the speed of life?

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@HaleyMary

Not really, Mary, because this notion of speed can never hope to catch up to an infinite expansion.

[christyistrying]

wouldnt suicide just thrust u right back on the train to try again?to think i am just sitting here dieing slowly.HAHAHA, NO i dont except that, i am sitting here enjoying being and breathing, very cool vid, this vid is full of coolness...

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@christyistrying

But when we die do we really die, though?

Are you sure?

C'mon, tell me.

[xzoza]

you said "this life seems to be a preparation of sorts for something much vaster, much grander than we could ever imagine."

how I wish I could believe this. I wish something super-natural would happen to me . seeing a ghost , remembering something from a past life.. anything at all. I have heard accounts of such things from people who by all accounts seem very credible, but this ofcourse does not give the feeling I think I would have if I had experianced these things myself.

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@xzoza

Ah, but does this mean that I should not express what arises out of the depths of my personal experience?

Supernatural occurrences very often serve as distractions on that transcendental path. Let them come as they will. Don't chase your dreams, just release them and they will eventually return to your side.

[xzoza]

Ah, but does this mean that I should not express what arises out of the depths of my personal experience? no, in fact I find it comforting that someone I think so highly of, and someone who is so obviously far more advanced in the matters than I seems to not be scared of death. It almost(but only almost)makes me not so scared of it my self.

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@xzoza

Fear is natural, just doesn't mean it's our Eternally True State.

We must, because that's what we're doing anyway, look upon death with different eyes.

Death is not the enemy, no, it is merely our faulty perception.

[xzoza]

@ObaNarayanShivaji999 and please accept my humble apology for any trespass I have commited against you.

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@xzoza

No trespass ever did you commit, Emily, none at all.

[Nepze123]

death comes to us alive

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@Nepze123

And what most people call life is, in fact, DEATH.

[Nepze123]

@ObaNarayanShivaji999 : True that .

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@Nepze123

All this talk about The Lake of Fire when we're already within it.

[Nepze123]

@ObaNarayanShivaji999 : Good point.

ps: i really liked this vid, faved!

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@Nepze123

Ya, mine brethren, Ya.

[hellavadeal]

I think that is why I smoke. Slow suiside . hahaha

It isn't working yet, the doc said my lungs are good.  So I will choose to kill myself with old age. hahaha

But to do that I will need to grow up. Darn , that sucks.

Well I guess i will stick around and mess with your head till then.

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@hellavadeal

I'm loving every second of this mutual dream of ours.

[hellavadeal]

@ObaNarayanShivaji999

Me too Brother. Me too

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@hellavadeal

Aw shucks, Uncle.

[mettanc]

one of the main reasons we have so much anguish & difficulty in facing death is that we ignore the truth of impermanence.

michael

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@mettanc

Yes, and not only that, but we deny our eternal permanence, as well.

[grosenberg45]

So many thoughts on this one

I remember t-shirts saying "Go Lemmings Go"

Myself, every time I've ever contemplated suicide, the same thing stopped me

The curiosity to see what comes next. I mean my life has been so bizarre and strange so far, I have to see the next chapter

and yet as you say, we begin dying at the moment of birth

[grosenberg45]

@grosenberg45

The right stop yes,... if you get off at the wrong stop, you have to wait for the next train and get back on..

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@grosenberg45

And THAT is an ugly DRAG.

[ObaNarayanShivaji999]

@grosenberg45

And after all is said and done, and after all the endless journeys, we come to realize that, "Oh shit, Godhead was always and already here ... NOW!

WOW!!!

[grosenberg45]

@N

WOW indeed
