Hi everyone! 2019 is coming to an end. I want to thank you for making this an amazing year for this channel. I would never have expected all of this. For Einzelgänger, I have planned to make a fresh and positive start in 2020! Not that I won't talk about the darker topics like these (which I love to talk about from time to time), but I'm closing a door right now and opening a new one. Stay tuned, thank you all for watching, and I wish you a fantastic new year!

"Its almost if youre standing on a cliff and the person is about to fall down and theres nothing you can do about it, except saying what you want to say,
and, that someday, its your turn to take the dive into the abyss of the unknown as well"

This hit me hard.

Im sorry for your loss.

Death is an old joke, but it comes like new to everyone. (Turgenev)

I am not afraid of death but of dying without actually living but just existing. All i want is a cozy home in a small village, fresh air, good food, I don't like living in this crowded city. That's all. Next decade of my life is going to be very important and busy. As a 18 year old who wants to do well in life, have a stable life, excel in career, I dream of a productive and fulfilling decade. I wonder what would happen if i just died next day, next month, next year?
As someone who has faced and still facing domestic violence and abuse, I just want to live a peaceful and happy life before death knocks on the door, I will welcome death with happiness if it knocks on right time.I would like to live at least 50 years from now.
This probably doesn't make much sense but I just wrote down my feelings

I always thought that when death come, i will accept it with no emotional response .. then one day at beach, i swum to far away from the beach without noticing it, once i noticed it, i didnt panic, i just slowly swum back .. then i unexpectedly swallowed a lot of salty water and started to heavily lose oxygen, i started to have cramps all over my body and slowly losing consciousness. 10 minutes of painful cramps, slowly losing consciousness and struggling to not drown.
I was never so close to death, its one think to imagine one self accepting death when it comes but to feel death closely is really something else, it require a huge amount of self control to not have an intense emotional response when close to unexpected death.

For many death is liberation from depression, suffering and pain. Even though nobody asked us whether we wanted to be brought to this world or not, we can freely choose to end this ugly existence according to our wish and desire.

The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.''

Happy 2020! Cheers to life! Blessings of hope to all!

Death is liberation and nothing to fear.

One thing scarier than death would be living forever.

I came here to this video feeling depressed. But now I feel calmed and with a bit more energy to do the things I desire and love. Thank you very much for that Einzelgänger :)

[longingheart]

Death means hope for me at this point. I'm grateful that there is an end to our hellish existence

[Little.R]

I had many experiences with death as a child; family members, pets, my brother. Although it took many years for me to actually understand this mortality of being, impermanence, and such.
In my 30’s now and making real effort to stop ruminating, overthinking, and hesitating.
The time is NOW, take action and learn or regret doing nothing at all.

Hmm...this reminds me of when my own uncle passed.

I really admired how he faced death with dignity even as his breathing became progressively difficult with pneumonia, filling his lungs with fluid.

In addition, the day before he passed he showed incredible patience through unnecessary family drama related to finalizing last minute changes regarding his last will and testament.

I'm really glad I knew him...just like i'm really glad to know that a man like Einzelganger and this channel exists.

May we all continue to learn to live a bit better than we did the day before....

Great!!! Last October 27th I myself experienced death of my father who was 88. Beside many diseases and the old age he suffered a lot for several years and faced near death experienced many time during his last 4 years of life and for 3 years couldn't walk and move without the help of assistance but could speak sometimes in weaker voice, even when without been able to speak and move he didn't want to die and not at all ready to embrace the ultimate death. I believe and saw him suffer more for the denial and refuse to embrace death and leave this materialistic world. During the struggling years pain and sufferings was clearly visible on his pale face, but soon after the soul departed from the body his face was showing a sign of greater relief with a beautiful simile on it and looked like as if he is experiencing his mid 30s, there was no sign of any pain, sufferings, or struggles on that remarkable handsome face, instead looked very happy and relieved, even the physical body more than six feet which shrunken due to sicknesses and old age as well became comparatively normal and healthy, very strange to see this transformation just after this unavoidable event, absolutely remarkable to notice. It was a message for all of us to show how peaceful the rest becomes after passing through the channel door to the other dimensions for the new infinite experience without being scared starting a new journey to the unknown. Nothing to fear just glide and when the time of death comes just embrace it and don't try pulling back to earth or hesitate to leave everything behind, and obviously always be ready for this unavoidable must event sooner or later. All of your video presentations are absolutely unique and remarkable. Highly appreciate all of your outstanding efforts. Happy New Year, and as well peace be upon all. Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the video! To be honest, the topic of death has always been something I run away from. I always get anxious and I start struggling with my breathing sometimes, but this video somehow, I can’t really explain, put me at ease. So I just want to thank you for that.

Also, early happy new year!

You talked about living with resentment and the importance of letting it out. In the perspective of death everything just becomes pointless, even saying something. Let this sink in..

[dmitryalexandersamoilov]

There is no such thing as empty space. Everything is connected.

Death is the border between ego and ego dissolution. It's not that bad on the other side.
