  • @NyorexDC That's because it is an interruption of thought. At all times thought is attempting to preserve itself (ideas) and not life. Life is given full expression in places untouched by thought which happens to be in nature and death. In fact it is not necessary to detach yourself from anything. Life is forever bursting at the seams and confines of thought which IS man as he/she functions NOW. We (our given conceptions of self) are afraid of life. Thought is afraid of life as that is it's end.

  • how come so many people around the world, at different ages, at different times, comes to understand the very same things, when they detache from their social enviroments, or when they have a near-death experience. Have you ever found yourself thinking about this?
