@tedens That varies from person to person depending on how many illusory partitions have been created between the self and existence.

@Shakazulu From the perspective of the limited self -yes.

@How to be wise Here's a good video to watch

Nah, it's all part of the process.

@Shin So true, so very true.

Besides for looking "forward" to contemplate what death may be like why not contemplate how you came to be in the first place by going back the way you came to be. Have you ever contemplated what you were before the announcement of your birth?

@Serotoninluv That's a good one too!

I'm reading all this while listening to Row, row, your boat gently down the the stream- life is but a dream. It seems to fit very well.

@Shin Here's a bedtime song to end your day with. "Life is but a Dream"

@Shin Actually I'm totally serious. My first real experience of all this spiritual work was detachment from a physical location. Freaked me out. Now I welcome it.

I generally like to hang out in close proximity to the body location. Especially when there are guests visiting. I jest but then again I don't.

@Shin I'll give you this. Your honest about it.

How'd I know that's what you'd say.

What's the diff?

@ActualizedDavid Not a bad time to start a journal if you haven't already.

You seen to have come around nicely since your peek behind the veil earlier today.

@ActualizedDavid Your having a non-dual experience. Just go with it.

@How to be wise I see. It's fashion.

@How to be wise What medium are you naturally inclined to work with as your 'canvas' so to speak?

@The Don It's not just the fear of physical death but also the disappearance of the i am that causes fear.

Facing the fear would be excepting all things as they come without resistance or control.

@Aakash

@Aakash Nope. I'll read the pdf if there ever is one. What i do have is an origional copy of Alan Watts The Art of Contemplation a manuscript. Had that since it came out. That's a good one to have in any collection.

@Aakash Leo has an extensive book list already. It's really nice to have the book itself but maybe just the text can be found.

@Aakash Good deal! Maybe it's published in the UK?
