To sit and contemplate oblivion--the possibility of my consciousness no longer existing--that is truly crushing. This idea first occurred to me when I was quite young. And now, many years later, after all of my spiritual pursuits, I still have the same fear. Still dying every day.
I want to believe--in order to alleviate my fear--but so far, nothing has produced that leap of faith. |
To you I wholeheartedly recommend Steve's podcast #008: Overcoming Fear. His advice on the subject of fear is golden. Fear is faulty wiring in your squishware and your emotion is telling you to repair it.
