Lets talk about Death.
The lack of awareness of Death is limiting to Being.
I've had little experience with Death during my life. Especially growing up and living amidst a Westernized society has Death safeguarded and absent from life.

What are your experiences with death?
What wisdom can you share?
In any way that manifests.

Piggyback question: How can one prepare for death? Be it physical death or ego death.


My experiences with people dying is that generally it sucks. Most of the time a persons passing is going to have a negative affect on the people who cared about them.

A while ago I was on a acid trip and became very preoccupied with the concept of dying. It's a terrifying thing, from a ego perspective. However I've had other LSD powered experiences where I've been pretty chill about my mortality and eventual death. Difference was in the amount of thinkyness I was doing, or to word it differently the latter experience seemed to mostly come from a place other than from the ego.

Ego is terrified of not being in control, and there's no greater loss of control than dying.
Push that ego aside, and you're literally laughing.
Besides, you don't die until you're done. If you do happen to die before you're done, you don't even notice.
I have no idea how this works, but I can attest to the rather obvious fact that I should have died many times, and here I still am.
Ego fears. Fear comes from ego. No ego = no fear.
Of anything.
