Let’s talk about the most important aspect of life ~ DEATH
Do you think about your Death #asknostr
Discussion
Yeah - a lot! It’s a fucked up thought and can take you on a journey!
It’s a rabbit hole on its own..
Love to hear more if open.
So my journey if you wanna call it with religion and death has been a strange one..
I was brought up semi religious from maybe 8-13 - went to kids church but I actually enjoyed the people more than anything else..
Then my cousin went A wall and my mom turned heavy into Christianity and forced it upon us and my personality isn’t such that I like to be told what to do - so I pushed back..
Then decided it’s easier for me to not have a standing point on it..
But when I use to drive 100 miles a day back and forth to work I had plenty time to think.. I wondered if I die now - what happens? Do I go to hell or heaven or nowhere - and not having concrete evidence and believing in blind faith in my opinion didn’t cut it..
I almost wanted to listen to Peter Schiff on his gold podcast and then thought maybe religion is better.. thankfully then I go home and snapped outta it..
But yeah.. death is an odd one..
Yes. And it's not the end, it's the beginning.
Bitcoin saves your time on earth, Jesus saves your time forever.

Memento mori...
I think about death and I fear death. It's unsettling and uncomfortable, but it invigorated me to think about the time and energy I have left in this life, and it focuses me on using it to produce and provide value to those who I love and my community.
The fear of death is perhaps the most powerful imposed of the human spirit.
What makes you fear death my friend
Mortality. We must die. But that's ok. The fear of death invigorates our impulse to live life well.
Have you read Life after Life by Dr. Raymond Moody?
I have not, but I'm happy to look into it.
The concept of nonexistence is very difficult for the human mind to grasp. But I think it's not so much the nonexistence part, but the transition from our animated, thinking selves to the state of nonexistence that causes us so much trouble. I'm not afraid of not existing, because I won't exist. I will have no awareness. There will be no I. But the thought of leaving my life, my experience, and all the people I love is terrifying. It's that terrible process that keeps me awake at night.
“When I die ( permanently) may it be with all love for humanity in my heart.” is as far as I think about it.
But remember: I’ve technically died once so … to me it’s just another energy exchange. Same as when we sleep and wake up. Small deaths To birth again
Sometimes it feels like dream world is real life.
I was waiting for you
Awe. 🫢 appreciated my friend.
There was a peace ☮️ found. Went from being “ Type A on cocaine “ to … it humbled me completely. Multiple ways. Not sure how to describe it but I pushed love 💜 for humanity and others so much harder after.
How did you die once?
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”
Philippians 1:21
TEXT 22: As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
TEXT 23: The soul can never be cut to pieces by any weapon, nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind.
TEXT 24: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
TEXT 25: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.
TEXT 26: If, however, you think that the soul [or the symptoms of life] will always be born and die forever, you still have no reason to lament, O mighty-armed.
TEXT 27: One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.
TEXT 28: All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation?
Before that time comes, I hope to accomplish all that I have set out, all that God has given me. Once I have done that, I hope I'll be ready.
I think it about it every single day.
There's so much on the line in my personal and professional life.
Death lingers on me and it's humbling.
Each day that passes is a conscious one that I know I'll never ever get again. Life is good.
