Cancer and Fear - Six Feet Under

[Guest guest]

Why not watch Six Feet Under?  Everything that spiritual people often

do seems meant to steel ourselves and protect against loss and death.

And there is no protection from the stark reality of mortality.  I

just finished watching the fifth season of this wonderful TV show.  It

was so very well done.  And so unavoidable.  Some of the best writing

that has appeared on television in recent years.  All on DVD now.

died of cancer.  I have had more than one life threatening condition

myself.  I am simply saying that Amma is not here to guarantee the

welfare of our physical bodies.  Maybe there are other masters who are

here for that purpose.  This Kali path has no guarantees, other than

that if we follow Her example, we grow beyond our individual selves,

and hopefully become free of this samskara.  It is in fact just as

possible to die in a plane crash on the way to Amritapuri, or getting

hit by a car whilst crossing the street.  My point is that why live in

fear?  Anything could happen at any time, could it not?  Who has ever

made the promise that nothing bad will happen to these bodies?  Fear

is all around us all the time.  Life is very difficult these

days...seemingly insane.  Why give the mind more to fear than it

already has?

can, and try to allievate the pain of others.  What else is there?
