When death comes, it does not ask your permission; it comes and takes you; it destroys you on the spot. In the same way, can you totally drop hate, envy, pride of possession, attachment to beliefs, to opinions, to ideas, to a particular way of thinking? Can you drop all that in an instant? There is no “how to drop it”, because that is only another form of continuity. To drop opinion, belief, attachment, greed, or envy is to die—to die every day, every moment. If there is the coming to an end of all ambition from moment to moment, then you will know the extraordinary state of being nothing, of coming to the abyss of an eternal movement, as it were, and dropping over the edge—which is death.
I want to know all about death, because death may be reality; it may be what we call God—that most extraordinary something that lives and moves and yet has no beginning and no end.

Attachments

I give this subject a lot of thought!  I think we go on, but in what form and for what purpose......who knows.  It seems to me that we're a renewable source of something.  Electrical energy?  I can't grasp quantum physics or even calculus for that matter, so I don't expect to understand death.

 A loooooooong time ago. I visited a lady -- long story - but I was meant to in order to get help I needed at that time, and she explained God/life to me like this. "It is like electricity. It is every where, we just have to harness it and bring it into focus where we need it." She went on to a lengthy degree about the electricity angle such as we can't see it but we can feel it and it can be used for helpful things or it can be harmful if not used properly. It made sense to me at the time.

I don't really believe that something can become nothing so for me it boils down to the definition of death. It may should be looked at as we move to another phase of one thing - which shouldn't be diferentiated from life.
