You asked in another topic about the concept of "already dead".
It's is a frame of mind that we go forward without concern of consequences (of death) because we can not die. Not because we are immortal. Rather, because the dead can not die. We... are already dead...
Samurai had this mind set and often referred to here is a clip from the show "band of brothers" titled "already dead":
How would you be? How would you act? What would you do, if:
+ you had lost everything + your self esteem was completely gone + everything you cherished was no longer available to you + if you were already dead...
Would you simply allow yourself to be burried?
Or would you get up, dust yourself off, and do all those things that fear of loss, fear of hurt and harm, that fear... had previously prevented you from taking the risk, and doing.
Because if you are already dead... all fear... and all risk... does not exist... and you can do amazing things...
If you fear divorce... it is because you are not behaving like you're already divorced. If you were already divorced... what would you do? How would you be with your kids? How would you be with your X?
