Vision of death given by Alan Watts, a contemporary English philosopher with a JazzHop base in the background written by Julian Convex
Just in the same way as you don't focus your attention on how you make your thyroid gland function, so in the same way, you don't have any attention focused on how you shine the sun
So then, let me connect this with the problem of birth and death, which puzzles people enormously of course. Because, in order to understand what the self is, you have to remember that it doesn't need to remember anything, just as you don't need to know how you work your thyroid gland...
So then, when you die, you’re not going to have to put up with everlasting non-existing. Because that's not an experience. A lot of people are afraid that when they die they’re going to be locked up in a dark room forever and sort of undergo that. But one of the most interesting things in the world – this is yoga, this is a way of realization
Try and imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up
(Alan Watts)
