I have faced the fact of physical death and I am not afraid of dying. The fact of physical death is that it is the end - kaput. It is approaching and will be here sooner or later. I can’t stop it.
Since I have faced the fear of physical death I surely should be able to face psychological and psychic death of the ‘I/me’. Actually, It should be easy in comparison. Why is it not? What is stopping me?
What is stopping me is the ‘me’ itself. It is programmed to survive no matter what. What is the fact of ‘me’? I think the fact of ‘me’ is that it is a belief. In fact it is the ultimate belief. We have been programmed since birth to believe that it is real. In fact, we are even programmed to believe that it will live forever even after the death of my body.
This puts me in touch with the feeling of ‘me’. A feeler is what it is. I need the right open question to live with this feeler and expose it for what it is. It is a chimera as Richard would say.
The body is flesh and blood and that is what dies. The ‘me’ is a feeling. It is not flesh and blood. It is not actual. This brings me to the fact of ‘me’: It is real but not actual.
Possible open questions that seems right to me is: Can I do it? (Extinguish the {'I/me.) , Why can’t I do it? , How can I do it?
How can I do it?, seems the most relevant now.
