The consciousness and the self just cease to exist, there's no void, it's just nonexistence. But not in a nihilistic way.

We're a frame on life's bigger picture, and I think Life itself is the driving force, the purpose and the end goal. I think life wants to spread to the whole universe and we're the mechanisms it developed through trial and error to do so, from the first small unicelular being to us, to what comes after us, life never changed, only the complexity of the mechanisms it inhabits to make sure it stays alive.

Maybe that's the code in our cells keeping it together, the simple instruction: Live and multiply.

"But you, be fruitful, spread out over the earth and multiply on it."

I ride a motorcycle. I have no fear of this death you speak of.

what?

All that is, is transient. Change (movement/life) cannot be perceived unless placed against a backdrop that is motionless. That stillness/emptiness/void is what permits anything to be at all. All that arises comes out of the limitless potential of that unfathomable stillness/darkness. You are that darkness, that nothingness that is searching for itself. You will find yourself in death once again.

I used to worry about the fact that one day I would die, now it's all that keeps me going.

Not the personal self. I'm referring to the Self - the Real. The personal self has always been a work of fiction. To think it can withstand the transition of death is absurd, of course. It can't even maintain its presence from moment to moment. Always changing, always appearing and disappearing throughout life. It has always been nothing more than an idea in a mind, and with the death of the mind comes the death of that idea.

I’m hoping we will get some kind of genetic breakthrough where we can live forever. Fuck dying it’s for cucks

I know that feeling very well. All I can say is that life is an unpredictable story you can stop reading at any time, but never pick it up again.

When I got to my mid-upper twenties I decided I want to live healthier and enjoy my retirement. Why work your ass off for years for an early death?

I’ve already faced death and said no. Jan 25th 2003 if I recall the date. Got hit by a semi and woke up days later. Had tons of injuries but I walked out of the hospital a week later. Same day a kid the same age as myself died in a fender bender on the same street. People over the next year would freak out when they saw me because they thought I died that day.

I’ve personally experienced what could have been death. You don’t see it coming, sometimes you don’t even feel it. Maybe you will wake up, maybe not. Live life to the fullest and don’t worry about when it comes, put that worry into living the best you can now.
