"Your going to rot once you die"...ok so for this to be the ultimate truth you would have to know that who you are began with, is sustained by, and will end with the body and brain. Your awareness, your sense of self, your consciousness, your feeling of being is 100 percent based upon and dependant upon this flesh body and brain, so when the heart and brain cease to function you cease in your entirety just as you began in your entirety with the birth of this body you take to be you. Not only do you not have proof, not that I am looking for scientific proof for the miracle of life, but you don't even know this unequivocally as your own experience.
"I look at the creation"...ok so who is looking at the creation? Not that an answer needs to be given, but this fellow you call "you" isnt this a wonder worthy of looking in to with the same wonder and reverence one might look out upon the vastness of the stars? From morning to night and then even in our dreams this sense of self roams like a wild monkey from one thought and vision and experience to another, taking itself to be a distinct entity apart from the creation. Have you ever stood upon a mountain top having spent the afternoon shrooming on liberty caps and penis envies and in that windless stillness watched as the giant sun moves down slowly over the cusp of the Atlantic horizon? And your sense of who and what you are has broken free from its habitual prison of a contracted and anxious identity. You are not watching the beauty you are the beauty all around, there is no all around, you are the totality experiencing itself. And though there is no scientific proof you understand that you were never born, a body was born and will die, you are always the unborn presence that is at the root of all things. You never came from anywhere, you will not go anyplace ever, there is nothing outside of you, there is nothing inside of you, you are uncreated and eternal Light, infinitely free forever, a divine presence that is pure love and you bask in your own majesty forever.
