Essentially admitting that you're too much of a pussy to devote any extended period of time looking inward for the answers that you've convinced yourself exist solely on the outside.

Hey look, it's even available online in pdf format! Don't have to spend a dime! And hey, after reading it, at minimum you'll have a better understanding as to why it gets up your nose like so many lines of esoteric marching powder.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Pivot - you must be something of a masochist to read this book.

By the way, Paul, the sentence that made you rofl is actually true: read it again...

once you know that death happens to the body and not you...

Everyone sees you're dead but you, because you're, well, dead. So it is true, your death doesn't happen to you

haha lira! the insinuation is (as you well know!) that there is more to "you" than the sum total of your physical attributes.

if the "real me" is truly timeless and "beyond birth and death" i'd really like to know what ive been up to for the previous 15 billion years.

just your usual, unsubstantiated spiritualist shit. sorry cant talk- im off to buy some healing crystals.

I know, this is all over the place where I live.

But, you see, I'm usually a very tolerant person, but the Europeanised versions of Indian mysticism are awesome, and by awesome I mean painful to watch. I just need to laugh in order to digest the ideas behind them, reason why I just had to mock that quote. The Hindu saw reincarnation as something inherently negative - the trick was to escape the cycle of samsara in order to reach nirvana so you wouldn't ever be born again. Somehow, it was imported into our culture as something good because of the Christian paradise that had nothing to do with this cycle whatsoever. And now you hear mystics say "Don't worry about death, you're eternal and you won't really die".

Why the hell would anyone want to live forever!? Why, why, why!? Even an afterlife in paradise sounds so painful to me I dread to think it may have a grain of truth behind it

I would love it, at least for a time.

Sure, it'd be great to hang out for a couple of years, or decades, or perhaps centuries - i.e. "for a time" - but eventually boredom would kick in after a while and there would be absolutely nothing you could do because you'd be trapped in there forever.

And the real kicker? You can't kill yourself if you can't die!

Nah, I'm talking like millions of years. As long as there's some sort of species for me to converse with I'd be happy.
