Alan Watts on Death

[virginiawoolf86]

As I near my end, I'm trying to seek comfort in anyway possible. Has anyone else watched this clip on Acceptance of Death? He makes many good points. Including one about the moot point of quantitative life.

But the one that stands out for me was: "Once we have ceased to see magic in the world, we are no longer fulfilling nature's game of being aware of itself. There's no point in it anymore, and so we die. And so something else comes to birth which gets an entirely new view..."

That just really resonated. Wonder if anyone else feels the same way or has thought about things like this.

Yes. I feel the same and thanks for sharing. I have heard Allan Watts talk about this before and it gave me a sense of comfort with the process of dying. When my mother passed from cancer just over a year ago, I too ceased to see magic in the world. In fact she brought me magic when all I saw was despair. Everybody has their own reasons to ctb and this is mine.
