    Interesting that ppl are saying the idea of ceasing to exist makes them angry. Scared too. I feel more sadness. A kind of grief for myself.

        But not the same kind of grief as for other people. Much less violent and painful. Deep & heavy & kind of peaceful.

        But it does make me think abt doing life better. I want to enjoy my daughter's growing up more, write more, travel more, interact more.

        2 things I think can change your life, shock or habitual change. Shock or brush with death can motivate to be better while here.

        Yes! That's why James' book advocates imagining yourself there. I had the real thing but effects wore off.

        Damn. I've had 1 close call. And close call with family. Its uncomfortable, but motivating for sure.

        It's just like all the things you're not experiencing or aware of right now.

        That's most if time and space. It's why I consider the small to be precious

        Absolutely. That's what book is about. Valuing the small, the local, the temporary & not getting lost in immortality stories

        We don't cease to exist. We mutate into other life forms. The only thing we lose, essentially, is our consciousness.

        Subjectively, yes. But we also care about what we leave behind, our #legacy.

        That idea is bliss for me. The only sadness is it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
