We are spiritual beings having a human experience ❤

[kundaliniairport]

The secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death

[jayong]

Death allows Love to dissolve the Ego, as death kills ego, but can never kill Love.

[kevinmccauley]

Being human is just a chapter in our story

[rajesvarandoraisamy]

Death is the killer of ego, Alan Watts is right on death

[taochi]

I've almost died 3 times in my life. After this I didn't fear death any longer. I knew it was Part of the experience

[Moski]

I actually had this thought today of how we are fools to think we have tomorrow

[rocketlife]

Allen Watts awakens something in us all that is much needed.

[valichkanyc]

This is my theory. This is why we need to be kind to each other.

[balramterry]

We are not the body. We are eternal energy - spirit. Which is situated in the heart of all living beings. - Bhagavada Gita.

[siendbhcixisj]

My biggest achievement was to loose the fear of death. Life is much more enjoyable now. Meditation and learning of infinite consciousness changed my life.

[TheHockeySushi]

Knowing and accepting that life comes to an end allows you to live in the moment and not for a future not promised.

[judithbowman]

Just be as loving as you can like it's your last day of life.

[maximelagace]

"To resist change, to try to cling to life, is like holding your breath." -Alan Watts

[StonerStories]

The want of permanence has become the pain of human existence.

[Slim_Charles]

“If you insist on trying to be a permanent witness of the flux, then it grates against you.” That struck a chord.

[maximumcarnage]

This has so much truth to it people just don’t understand. Eveytime i thought about my death i get this gut wrenching drop and the most intense sensation of fear. Since i have been listening to Alan Watts that fear has dissipated.

[ZahidAli-tupk]

You're free when, you give it up

[margmcmillan]

Acknowledge life as it is, enjoy the ambience along the way

[dgaz]

we are the highest form of life, now live like you are.
