Awareness of Death
Sentient beings are aware of their mortality.
The awareness of death is what gives life focus and purpose: its limitations.
The “Best 3 Months” practice taught at the Conscious Dying Institute asks you to envision yourself with 3 months to live: What would your deathbed self require?
This provides a tight focus on priorities, getting all affairs in order.
The nervous are aware something is wrong.
Those who are more sensitive to the negative are neurotic, hypersensitive to environmental toxins, pathogens and poisons, including emotional debris from others in the mental environment.
From Marshall Summers
It’s important for neurotics to pay attention to the physical influences, to track
- When is this happening?
- Where is this coming from?
- How much of it am I generating in how I carry myself, what I communicate, the environments I find myself in, what I concern myself with, what I absorb and retain, consume and imbibe?

Global death is occurring under our watch.
- How much can I slow down my contribution to this degradation?
- What do I wish to defend and fortify?
- How to prepare for collapse?
Freedom on Earth is eroding.
We are like a native people discovered on a rich terrain by the races exploring in order to exploit.
Here is Mark’s original content for this article before I hijacked the post:
“Having intelligence in life is a curse—aware of your death, fearful of all that you might lose, living in anxiety and apprehension, seeing the dangers of the world around you, ever fearful, ever guarded, ever resentful, ever angry, ever feeling weak and helpless.
“The animals are happier than you because they do not think these things. They are unaware of these things. They can live in the moment even though they might die in the next hour. They are living in the moment. They do not see or know their end until the moment it occurs. They do not see it. They do not worry about it. It is not a concern. They are trying to live and get what they need every day.
“For a sentient being, though, the awareness of the future and the regrets from the past are an immense burden and source of suffering and misery. Only a greater purpose in life can utilize the past and the future for a greater purpose, thus relieving you from the suffering and the anxiety that it would otherwise produce in an overwhelming way.
“Without this greater purpose, people are sedated. They are obsessed. They are addicted to drugs. They are addicted to people. They are fixated because they are trying to escape their own misery, their own anxiety, their own uncertainty, their own grievances, their own fear and all of its manifestations.
“Do not condemn people for being obsessed and fixated. They are trying to escape something you are trying to escape. They are just taking the wrong path, that is all. Their approach is futile and dangerous and self-destructive.”. – “The Separation”
Thanks Mary, but it is simply lifted from this revelation: https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/one-god/the-separation
