Something that is really impressing itself upon me at this point in the journey is how the fear of death is one of the core conditions of the basic human situation, and how it influences<i>every</i> aspect of our behavior. Lack of the fear of death isn't enlightenment, but it seems to be one of the core conditions of enlightened persons. I'll probably write more about this in future posts. Thanks, Ned.

At the end they reprise the professors line, "Pass the parcel. Sometimes that's all you can do." When I heard that, I realized with a shock, instantly that that's all I do. All of me that's been here up to this point is already gone. And all that will ever be identified as me will also be nothing but a succession of moments. What lasts is just my real nature as a point of consciousness, and influence on other consciousnesses. It was The History Boys. At the end they reprise the professors line, “Pass the parcel.

Yeah, it's bit different from my usual "Holy Frimmin' Cosmic Resonanance, Batman!" style of poetry. I wrote this a few minutes after a strong, sudden, and very unexpected experience of being, well, already dead, when watching a movie. Thanks, Julie.
