TV,

  Only you can give meaning to your life.

 

Be kind to your self, you may or may not find meaning but you will improve your chances;

• healthy diet, exercise, rest

• add regular little experiences that give you pleasure; chat with friends, take walks, enjoy music, 

  sex, porn etc.  Interrupt the state of gloom frequently.

• align your goals with your ability rather than other people's standards.

  Correct people’s expectations of you by being very open and honest with them.

• if you are in the habit of saying yes when you want to really say no, stop it.  

• accept that you do not need to find a bigger meaning to life, most people do not and that is ok. 

  You are on your own and you do not have to answer to anybody.

• everyone’s experience after death is the same, I think, which is no awareness at all.

This is exactly like deep sleep, devoid of any awareness. 

An ordinary old man that died in London today, Mahatma Gandhi and Hitler have all gone into the 

same deep sleep forever. You have practiced deep sleep yourself everyday.

 

Sleep and Death

 

We wake up refreshed from sleep. In deep sleep, we are unaware of the self. In fact we are without self awareness, ego. The ego in a dream is indistinguishable from the ego in wakefulness. 

expressions: awkei = I when awake,  sleepi = I in deep sleep, dreami = I in a dream

The sensed physical world, memories, imagined future and transient body chemistry sets up the ego's  experiences. Origin of the ego remains a mystery to the scientific world. Involuntary body processes such as respiration, digestion, circulation and sub conscious activities continue normally regardless of sleep/dream/awake state. 

The ego appears to be deactivated during deep sleep. The ego in sleep is equally devoid of experience as the ego in death. Yet we fear the cessation of experience in death but not in sleep. The cause of the fear is future continuity of the ego.

Hindu philosophy describes a state of being in awareness but unperturbed by sensations, emotions and thoughts. It is claimed to be the most blissful state. Being wholly subjective, this state appears not to have objective properties and hence beyond the scope of science. People who describe this state have appeared from ancient times to the present. Inquiry into the truth of this state calls for accepting precepts by faith and indefinite investment of time spoiled by the knowledge that it may ultimately lead to no new awareness. For these reasons, I do not want to invest the time.

 I hear that psychedelics produce ecstatic states that are otherworldly. This is promising, I want to have the experience.
