His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
I'd rather start again a million miles away as someone else. No point in starting over if you just make the same mistakes.

I am curious. When and how did you experience ego death?

You're under no obligation to continue as yourself, because yourself doesn't exist as anything more than a concept

I'd rather make different mistakes, at least. It would be a breath of fresh air.

You couldn't realize that unless you viewed it from your frame of reference. The only way you can seeit is from your unique view. Hence my question to Verb. He may actually see reality for what it is.

i'm not sure if i have—i've had dreams where i may have experienced something similar to it, but i don't think experiencing "ego death" is necessary to understand the idea that our sense of "self" is ultimately illusory, and we're all here playing the same game together, and there's really not a great deal of difference between how we experience our individual lives

I am confused by you, Verb.  I have been for a while. You have an ego as it pertains to life, but as you post, not to yourself. This indicates ego death. Yet you have none of the other experiences. I admire it. I always have. But I have trouble understanding you.

I have read multiple books on the subject and watched hours of videos. I have knowledge of the concept but no actual experience/internalized understanding of it. Smh :-/

not if it was just the world
for all you know we're the first and only intelligent life fam

religious people always say stuff in a quasi-scientific way like "earth is perfect for life, one thing different about how we're aligned with the sun or whatever and earth couldn't support anything. How do we get that lucky without a god?"

and it's literally backwards thinking, we have all of this biology and life here because the earth is perfect. And if you look at how specific and perfect everything has to be before life can even start to form, it wouldn't be some big shock if we're the beginning and the end

but i still wouldn't make a decision like that on a mere hunch

odds of probability/ mokeys and typewriters

throw enough atoms together enough times and eventually something's got to work. Might take 13.4 billion years and a couple quadrillion galaxies each with a few million stars each but eventually something cohesive will form.

I've never really liked that explanation, just as a general thing. The idea that conditions on Earth, or even the laws of physics are created by somethign intelligent. I never like the idea that people think humans are more important than we actually are.

do you enjoy having to breathe

I mean, I enjoy my current state of affairs, so I don't want to die right now.

Though, I guess I would prefer to not rely on breathing to survive, assuming that doesn't reduce my quality of life.

asking individuals that question is stupid anyway

if 99.9999% of people loved their life and .0001% didn't, then life isnt worth it

nonexistence is perfect so for you to take the proactivity to deny that perfection and bring upon an existence, that existence needs to also be perfect. And any universe that even allows suffering as a possibility/concept isn't perfect.

Not if you want to do it in the most peaceful, humane, painless, hassle-free, legal, and monetarily free way possible.

Not when it results in the suffering of others because of their emotional attachments to you.

why should they have to

why even bring in those .0001% when everyone was nonexisting in perfection
