it's been on my mind recently. it seems to me that once you truly accept that death is a part of life and have no fear of it, you can finally live completely freely and happily. of course, that's easier said than done, which i guess is why afterlife is such a popular concept. i've been striving to find some way to experience true ego-death, but the closest i've come is just feeling insignificant (during some shroom adventures). thoughts?
