What Do You Think of the Idea that We’re Already Dead

[Joseph Maynor]

This is kind of a new insight I had.

[Faceless]

Well thought/ego is static “a dead thing” 

lol ??

[zenjen]

The egoic selves that we create are an illusion therefore, in a way, “you” or “I” could be considered presently dead.

When “I” had an ego death experience, it felt like I was actually going to die, though physically I was fine. I awakened to find I’ve been in heaven all along.

[Nahm]

@Joseph Maynor we all could have died many times in ‘this life’ and we wouldn’t even know it.? magic ?

Preposterous idea.
Look around you, people alive everywhere:

They are so alive they don't know why they get pissed and blame the first thing they see instead.

So alive !

You're the constant in experience that doesn't change. When the dream dies, that constant will still remain. It was never born, it will never die, its just ... being... right now.

What's your definition of "we" and "dead"?

[cirkussmile]

Only death can enjoy life. 

Life can never enjoy death.

Don't ask me. Ask yourself

Personally, I prefer exotic fruits

And Eckhart's teacher says that:

 

[snowleopard]

It's pretty much another strange loop example -- which side is life and which side is death, when there actually aren't two sides? But one has to go full circle to grok that you're no more dead, nor alive, right now, than ever is the case.

[Guest Young Padawan]

We're dead when we think we're alive, we're alive when we think we're dead.

That's how I would reshape it.
