If You Had A Month Left To Live

[Saarah]

It's most likely you wouldn't reach enlightenment in that month, which means you're still stuck to your ego

In that case, what would be the most meaningful way to live life in that last month for a person? 

Is 'doing' more necessarily a bad thing, or an undesired way to go from an actualised point of view? Like filling your time with a bunch of experiences, not in the bucket list sense, but in a sense that you were just taking in life, being present, enjoying all the fruits of this world, gratitude and appreciation for it. Would that be an enriching way to live that last month?

Would being attached to the world in that sense though, and holding so much meaning to it, since attachment comes from the ego, would that instead be a sad way to live that month? Is it a time instead to stop and to 'be' and would you even be able to achieve happiness from being in that short amount of time? 

I ask because I'm trying to connect with what I want out of life, but in terms of what I can give myself in this very moment, that's why I'm putting enlightenment out of it and restricting the hypothetical time frame to a month.

I would still just wanna meditate even if it didn't give me Truth. It makes me happy!

That's great, I am just beginning in meditation and I can't yet feel the joy of it because I'm attached to this world so much, I can imagine myself getting contemplative but not just being and being happy with doing nothing. Sometimes it's difficult to stop my mind it just races with thoughts and stories which leads me to doing more

If I really had to strip it down to a month, I would take the rest of my money to buy a ticket to some nature location - like something really epic - buy probably a tent and food and so on and meditate the last month. I wouldn't probably even give a fuck about my life purpose, this would be all stripped away.

If you are put in such a situation and you have mindful skills and are on the journey this would probably give you spiritual experiences for one month in a row ending with you ... going.
