You want to earn lots of money, otherwise you’ll feel humiliated that you haven’t reached your goals in life, you’ll crumble down, and you’ll die.
This fear is quite a natural phenomenon. None of us know what will happen to us after we die. But to be morbidly afraid of death is unhealthy and detrimental to our lives, or however it works for you either way.
The fear of death is behind every other fear. If one fears death excessively, it can prevent them from being able to enjoy life. And once you can release on that fear accept it, then let it pass by you can begin enjoying an even fuller life than before. The technique might work for you, and it might not, but it’s a fantastic method. Remember to give it a shot the next time you’re considering doing something positive, but you’re a little nervous consider that the worst that could happen is that you’ll die.
Accept it – and move on anyway. And if you can let go of that fear, you suddenly unleash a real inner sense of freedom that reminds you that anything is possible. The worst thing that can happen is that you’ll die! It’s the ultimate fear behind everything. We see death as terrible, as tragic. Because they want to live, they see death as the enemy of life and therefore deny death, which then becomes even more fearful and monstrous.
According to Tibetan Monk Riponche, Beneath this fear of death lies the ultimate fear… the fear of looking into ourselves,” But death can be a friend, he told the crowd at Interface. “Death holds the key to the meaning of life,” which is why Trappist brothers regularly greet each other with the Latin phrase memento mori, “remember you are dying,”. “Remembering brings life into focus, It sorts out your priorities, so you do not live a trivial life . It helps you take care of the most important things in life first. Don’t worry about dying; that will happen successfully whether you worry about it or not.”
He warns his students not to think about death “when you are depressed,” but rather “when you are on holiday or impressed by music or natural beauty.” This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, Compassion and Love is the only way. This will keep you controlled.
Enjoy your day! 🙂
This is a wonderful and essential message. Thank you! –Mary
A good soothing releasing post indeed. I love the Tibetan Monk Riponche’s words,
Loving life is loving death too. No otherway. No life gives birth to death, and death gives birth to life. That’s the way. Accepting both LIFE and DEATH alone is the essence and completion of our life journey.
