Dying . Those last moments of fear

I think all forumites should begin to prep for their final moments giving the inevitable annihilation our species will suffer due to the Wuhan virus

Not got a high fatality rate afaik.

the grauniad agrees with you.

still a great scene and a great way for romano to bow out

Fear is longing. Longing is attachment. Attachment is a life of suffering.

Learn to let go and live a life of love, not fear.

So then ‘attachment to nothing’ mate.

What about Princess and Princess beag?

I can live the best life for both when I’m not living a life of fear.

You’re looking at it wrong - it’s not attachment to nothing — but freedom to live a loving life And accepting death is part of life.

You’ve turned escaping a negative into a negative…

But if attachment is suffering, how can attachment be love?

I never said attachment was love — I said freedom from attachment let’s us live a loving life. You can love and let go all at the same time, mate …

In the west we spend our whole life running from death - ignoring it — playing up youth — hiding old age.

If you can accept death as part of life you can live a fuller life …

Here one for you.

Consciousness is not individual - it is the experience of life across the Universe. We only tap into it as receptive bodies. So when we die, consciousness remains. That is life. That is ‘God’.

That’s a beauty. A humdinger …

We confuse consciousness with perception often — Perception is individual , consciousness is a higher faculty.

And we’re feckin killing our universe.

The ultimate arrogance of man. I include me in that.

Yeah, I didnt want to point the finger but since you brought it up - what the fuck are you at?

Im a mere mortal mate. Caught up in thought.

We’re not killing the planet, that’s just hysteria by the alarmists. The planet has supported life for 4 billion years and will support life for another 4 billion years. What kind of life is a separate question.

Since 1800, human population has increased from 1 billion to almost 8 billion, and human life span has increased from 40 to 80 years. Hardly on the verge of extinction.

He was… onstage in Birmingham (the English one) in 1976.

“I think Enoch’s right, we should send them all back. Stop England from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. England is for white people, man.”

Yeah but what about the racism?

Not as bad as your rants admittedly.

What rants? Huh?
