The I Of Life And Death

The I of death?

Not the eye of death but the I of death …

Not the I of death but the death of I.

This is not just a philosophic issue, for it involves how we see ourselves, and how we see ourselves determines in part how we live our lives.

Those in relationship no the difference maybe from the times they have had living alone.

In relationship you are constantly hammered as to who you are to your partner. You know also those expectations and projections you put onto your partner.

You have differing images of yourself and your partner in and out of relationship.

This is why I say over and over: relate, yes, because it evokes so much, but you won’t be able to relate in depth unless you also add to your commitment to love together to also take back projections together so you are not wasting energy on trying to make your partner be a certain way, or defending yourself against a partner’s expectations acted out on you.

The I in The Death State

I recently wrote the following to a friend. We are interested in things like this. Here is what I wrote in part.

“I almost said ‘when I am dead,’ but this would be inaccurate. There would be no ‘I’ when the body is dead. The vehicle is no more so not ‘I’ exists either with this combo ‘I-body.’ Do you agree? Seems so.”

When I am dead I am not dead. I am not dead because when I am dead I cannot say I am dead or I would still be alive, right?

When you are dead nothing happens to show an alive you.

Even if you are a cosmic energy or spirit or something, you don’t have your body as a now vehicle of expression, the body. You are not the I-body that existed as you when you were alive before.

Some of that life I-ness can be captured in the memories of people who knew you, or thought they did despite the projections onto you.

1. Some of this I-ness, Strephon, can be in your writings that survive.
2. Some of this I-ness can be in the stories that others tell others about you.

Let’s hope they do, Strephon, but you won’t be around to listen in. You need ears for that, don’t you, Strephon?

So, let’s not talk about things like, ‘when I am dead ….’

You can only talk about yourself when you are alive, so do it.

Express yourself. Express your existence.

Existence counts because it is existence, a gift to you from life.

Appreciate and use existence well.

That’s all I can say here, dealing with the issue myself.
