QFG said:Based on observation and research, it is apparent that humanity as a whole has now reached a great historical crossroads. We have come to the end of a two thousand year history of intolerance, cruelty and stupidity which has created our present state of global, collective madness. Humanity, as a collective whole, is arriving at a state of collective Spiritual Bankruptcy, or "death." And yet, we cannot assume that this is meaningless.
I have been reading GNOSIS and have tried this excercise. It has touched some inner buffers, and resulted in my experiencing an unaccustomed fear. Have others tried this excercise and with what result?Boris Mouravieff-GNOSIS p.39 said:His factitious existence is only a loan: it is temporary and ends with DEATH, according to the divine word: "for dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return." What is the sense and purpose of such and existence?...........Here we are touching on the great problem of DEATH. The more man identifies hinmself with his Personality, the less he thinks of death. Contrary to all evidence as he sees everthing die all around him, man has no spontaneous feeling of his mortality. Though gifted with fertile imagination, man can conceive of his own death only with difficulty. An effort is needed in order to come to the idea of one's own death, and to create its image. All man can imagine in this respect is to evoke the image of his own corpse; he can never exclude from this representation the observer who contemplates this image.....the mental effort of representing his own death detaches man a little,
unaccountably not only from identification with his own body, but also from his Personality.........This exercise is useful and even necessary......It is thus that one learns that in effect: "all is vanity and torments of the mind."
