(Im)mortality
Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 07:22 AM by GliderGuider
Physical mortality is just fine with me - I have no desire to have my body cluttering up the landscape in perpetuity. As far as I can tell the desire for physical immortality is just another manifestation of the ego's fear of annihilation. For me, the only immortality worth having begins with the annihilation of the ego's need to cling to what it perceives. Paradoxically, living in the infinitesimal Now is my definition of immortality.

What do the words "mortality" and "immortality" bring up for you?

10 points to the house of the person who first identifies the movie.
