| the death of a person |
| Copyright - Lindsay Logsdon 2002 |
| When a person dies, where do they go? Into a hole in the ground with worms crawling in and out, in and out. Or burned. Ashes. But where do they go? Energy cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. It merely changes forms. A body is merely a container; a cup; a jar; a restraint, keeping energy in one place. A dead body is a jar no longer posessing a lid. But death is an illusion. So would a dead body not also be an illusion? Would energy not be an illusion as well? I prick myself and I feel pain. Or is the pain something merely imagined? A mirror of smoke confirming existence? What is existence? Death, existence, illusions. Everything is one. True unity. We are not seperate - we are not alone. Lonliness is the illusion. Or is lonliness the ultimate truth? One consciousness floating, spherical, through space. The individual does not die because the individual does not exist. One common identity in which the individual means nothing. Therefore, death does not exist. Life continues, collectively, and death is non-existent. Death is only another word for life. Life never ends. The person does not die - neither the person nor death exist. That is the answer. |
