CONSCIOUSNESS AND DEATH

To you who lies in bed at night, thinking about something, e.g. dying, etc. :)

Some say you should divert your attention somewhere "else" like.. to escape the 

fear.

But I'd like to ask: who are you that says he/she is afraid and why do you feel 

you have to escape the fear?

Maybe you should investigate what death is and who you are.. Who is afraid of 

death? It's the imaginary product of the brain called the "I" that is afraid, or 

in sorrow and it is itself fear and sorrow.

So you cannot escape fear, you are it, you are just sweeping the problem under the 

rug, but it will rear its ugly head again and again, and you will try to fight it 

in vain.

What you can do is to understand the whole issue. The product of thought called 

"you" does not really exist. That is a fact. There is no consciousness per se. 

Consciousness is produced by thought.

So why is there fear? Because this imaginary product of though persists and 

produces its imaginary projections and attachments.

When the content of consciousness, all of the attachments and illusions disappear 

in silence, there is no problem.

Only the silence through everything goes unobstructed is a solution, the silence 

is understanding of the problem, not an escape.

For fear to disappear you have to die ("psychologically"), without any effort, choice, control or self-pity. And it happens all of itself in stillness and silence when you have understood that what is, which means you are not attached to anything, which means you are nothing.
