Of course humans die, that's a fact. All these thoughts and memories and self-awareness that I am, will be lost, scattered. And one day (maybe quite soon) the human race will end. The "absolute" is always there, it can't not be, but from the everyday perspective, things are impermanent.
I love being alive, I enjoy being alive, I love what some humans have achieved, but I'm disappointed by most humans.
Reincarnation doesn't exist so of course I, as this person, won't be born again.
I prefer existence to nonexistence, I don't want to die at all. I just wish this world would be a better place, waking up on a planet that will probably soon be blown up, is a bit disappointing.
One has to live the lie to know truth.
In the story of I exist ..aka the unknown known...it appears that one is born and will die.
But in truth no one was born and no one can die.
Life is living itself..no one is living life.
The notion of something living life pertains only to the story of I...aka the separate self...aka the known.
The story character doesn't actually have a life, except as a conceptual believed conceived life by life itself all alone....no one else conceives the ''separate self'', ...so what appears to be born better care about that born life, else why bother wanting birth in the first place?
.
Like I said...life lives itself...the caring aspect only enters the reality that is a believed separate self...albeit illusory since there is only life living itself.
Paradoxically, within the dynamic of life living itself ..there appears a mind ...that claims this life and says '' I am living life''...well that's all very well and good, it's all inclusive ...but this claimer must realise the responsibility that comes with ownership...it has to care about it's responsibilities or else why bother?
This dream is not by mistake, it is factored into the dynamic that is intelligent energy expressing itself infinitely...and the only way it can know it is doing this is to dream up a character to play, each character although appearing to be playing a unique individual role...There is no one playing a role....Oneness plays all roles.
am i playing a role...or is this the role I AM playing?
