When my body dies...

[Sadalsuud]

Hi, I am a German who lives in France. My English is not the best, I hope you understand me. 

 

 

If I write a letter to my son and I die, what will die? Will the whole universe disappear together with me, the son and letter, or will he be able to read the letter after my death?

@Sadalsuud Great question. Here's another question for you: what's the "I" that says "my body"? Where is it exactly?

@Sadalsuud I think..

Your body will die, including memories, etc. (The person will die.) But the impersonal pure Consciousness will not die.

And your son will be able to read the letter.

is reincarnation real?

When you do enough research on it, reincarnation becomes almost undeniable

@Sadalsuud @theking00 @Sadalsuud 

Define death.There is nothing called death so the question is irrelevant.

Your English is better than most. 

Each one is The One. Hone in to your experience of another person, what are you seeing? What are you hearing? 

Perhaps one of the most important fundamental questions one can ask is, do I know what is seen and heard - or do I know  seeing and hearing? 

Your illusion is dependent upon this. 

Now hone into the experience of being you. Are the sensations, feelings, emotions of your experience anything like the perceptual interpretations of what appears to be seen & heard of another?

They are nothing alike. The father the son and letter are One. 

And you have never experienced being Two.

Human being is made of consciousness.

Thank you for the great answers! Now my brain (which doesn't  exist) is smoking. 

 

Ok, when father, son and the letter are one, then at the time the consciousness leaves my body, the whole story dissappears, and no one reads the letter. Like when I'm sleeping. There is nothing too, or a dream with an other story.

Your son, your letter, the universe, your life, and your death are all being imagined in the mind of God.

Consciousness does not leave the body. The body is an imagination of infinite consciousness. Consciousness is what you really are, and it cannot go anywhere because it imagines all possible locations.

Consciousness is nothing, nowhere, nohow, nowhen.

That's some tragic shit, isn’t it?

Why is it tragic ?

It's because when all is said and done, it doesn't matter anyway because after you are gone, there is nobody to benefit from anything you've done.

Yeah, from the pov of an ego that wants to feel significant it's horrible.

The good thing is, the ego is not what you are, and what you are don't care about being significant or not ?

That's the wrong way of looking at it.

You created the whole universe, all the people in it, and all the benefit anyone has ever received.

You're not just nothing, you're EVERYTHING!

@Sadalsuud You are Spirit always. With enough practises done you can even lose imagined limits of "Your body".

It's too much to bear and the conceptual understanding alone has fucked me up. I wish all this suffering and misery in the world wasn't there and eventually I may experience it.

This is also an improper way of looking at it.

Wish instead to love it all exactly as it is.

Stop hating your own self. Anything in the universe which you hate is you hating yourself. The solution is to love yourself instead.

[Shin]

I don't see any suffering anywhere.

There is a screen in my hand, 4 walls, and I feel my head and one side of my body touching the bed.

Where is the suffering ?

Are you sure you're not telling yourself story in your mind ?

@Shaun If the Buddha and Jesus appeared in front of you and told you to meditate twice a day, I imagine you’d still talk your way out of it.
