Death is content. Death is more or less thoughts + emotions. But there is also the awareness of thoughts and emotions. The unshakeable Witness resting timelessly (or time-embracingly) in the now.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 10, 2005 .... Among all the methods that I have 'used' for this Death... I have found the 'Mental Suicide' ....Most Direct, Most Effective and Efficient! And, I have seen it 'always' Work... .... I learnt it after hearing the story of Ramana's 'story' of 'Enlightenment'. [All 'enlightenment' 'stories' are... just 'stories'... Only thing that " happens " to the Reality is ... an 'experience'! Some Nice some ...not so nice. Yet, just an Experience... Reality itself Never appears... and, never disappears! It Never sleeps and thus can NEVER... 'wake up'. If you have " bought " someone's enlightenment.... ....you have bought " his " Story! If you think, " you " have got 'enlightened'... you have bought... your Own Story! That which is ever Untouched... doesn't really 'transforms'! ] In " seeking " enlightenment, if you fully 'understood' that all you are really " seeking " is... an 'Experience' then, you will progress much faster and will get Far Less confused and 'mislead'! Just and Experience... maybe, a nice one... maybe, a Very, Very Nice One! Samadhi, Samadhi(s)... yet, just an experience! .... You can NOT find Reality! You can NOT find what can NEVER ...be Lost!

One day I sat up alone on the first floor of my uncle's house. I was in my usual good health. But a sudden and unmistakable fear of death seized me. I felt I was going to die and at once set about thinking as to what I should do. I did not care to consult anyone, be he a doctor, elder or friend. I felt I had to solve the problem myself then and there. The shock of the fear of death made me at once introspective or 'introverted'. I said to myself mentally, 'Now that death is come, what does it mean? Who is it that is dying? This body dies'. I at once dramatised the situation. I extended my limbs and held them rigid as though rigor mortis had set in. I imitated a corpse to lend an air of reality to my further investigation. I held my breath and kept my mouth closed, pressing the lips tightly together, so that no sound could escape. 'Well then' I said to myself, 'this body is dead. It will be carried to the crematory and there burnt and reduced to ashes. But with the death of my body, am I dead? Is the body I? This body is silent and inert. But I am still aware of the full force of my personality and even of the sound of I within myself as apart from the body. The material body dies, but the Spirit transcending it cannot be touched by death. I am therefore the deathless Spirit'. All this was not a feat of intellectual gymnastics, but came as a flash before me vividly as living Truth, which I perceived immediately, without any argument almost. I was something very real, the only real thing in that state, and all the conscious activity that was connected with my body was centred on that. The I or myself was holding the focus of attention with a powerful fascination. Fear of death vanished at once and for ever. The absorption in the Self has continued from that moment right up to now " . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every Saturday, I take my daughter to her swimming class. The sparkling water of the swimming pool, the reflecting light, the sound of small children... ....the parents watching! It seems to transport me to a different Place... It becomes like an extremely Sweet Livid Dream! I become Like Love... and, all that appears seems to be Inside me. Individuals stop appearing as individual... ....just the waves of joy, waves of energy... celebration of Life! All appears to " offshoot " from me... ....all appears like my children. Yet, even calling them " children " is Not an appropriate description. It is more like how the mother 'earth' might feel looking at the plants, flowers coming out of its womb. The, butterflies, rabbits, ducks, children playing in its lap. This is how the Infiniti of the sky might feel about the stars and planes roaming inside. Maybe, this is how a mother would feel laying her eyes on her newborn child for the First Time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many times, it also overflows... some tears of joy too splatter away! Yet, it is nothing unusual, or special. Or, mark of my being some kind of Sage or Saint. Or, a signal that all my other emotions are dead. This is the natural state ...when no " need " is felt! It is the natural " outlook " , when the inner feels deeply Content and Fulfilled. A heart that is fulfilled inside... flows and shares outside. A heart that is happy within... shares happiness outside. Whatever else appears... is the result of a perceived 'need', sometimes desire, sometimes fear, sometimes lust and ...sometimes 'greed'! After the swimming class, I went to a crowded store to buy groceries and the guy in front of me was due to some reason very angry, irritated and was in very bad mood. He acted extremely hostile. He didn't say anything simply waved his hand in an agitated mode and gestured in the similar way. I didn't say or do anything but, the feeling that was immediately felt inside was ...of being hurt.
