Subject: Late nite rambling. .
Death is near like the shadow that follows us. I read that Nick Nolte is taking some experimental anti-ageing drug. Maybe living longer will give him more time to think. Think about his mortality. After all death will win.

Or will it?

No one really dies? Even though I’ve had a near-death experience, I don’t know what or how my being will react when that time comes. I do not understand just what the Zen Masters are talking about. I don’t know what the “natural state is”? Without this knowledge I can only hope. Sounds like I’m scared. As John Wayne once said, “Sure I’m scared, we’re all scared.” I think that the duke was right. How can we not be scared? Maybe just a little. Unless we’re enlightened, we don’t know for sure.

I do feel that our friends are filled with joy about now and I remember from me brief time in the Bardo that this joy is greater than anything I have known on this Earth. Will they reincarnate? After the great war is finished there will be a long period of peace on the Earth. Will we come back then? Do we have a choice? My understanding is that this is the place where we can learn. Learn not to be anymore. How can this happen without a body? How can we see the truth? I think that truth is only apparent from the point of view of illusion.

Without are illusions we’re finished. A tree in a forest has no illusions.
