The fundamental fear

 What is our fundamental fear?

It is the fear that comes from the sense of being a separate entity. The sense of being a separate conscious entity facing a vast surrounding environment that continuously interacts with it and results in its ultimate destruction or death. The fear that arises from the sense of being a separate entity is that somehow this 'me' will cease to exist. All our efforts are directed towards the preservation of self consciousness.

What is often overlooked is the fact that it is the very forces of existence, which we fear will destroy us, that in the first place allows for the arising of the self consciousness, or the sense of being a separate entity.

It is purely due to the forces of the ever-changing life process that even allows for the arising of a separate self. It is only through the activity of the ceaselessly changing forces, which is the very nature of the indivisible life process, that 'you' as a 'separate' body-self are even allowed to be. Without the ceaselessly changing indivisible life process, existence itself would be impossible. Existence is nothing but the manifestation of the ceaselessly ever changing indivisible forces that we refer to as the life process. The very nature of the life process is to manifest itself through the process of ceaseless change. To stop change is to stop existence, which is absurd. It is absurd because all there really is, is the ceaselessly changing activity of existing, that we call life/universe, and there is no stoppage to this.

So then, there is really no separate entity there that can stop the flow of the ceaselessly changing indivisible life process. The very self consciousness that is typing these words is an outcome of the ceaselessly changing indivisibly unfolding life process, which is the eternally flowing ever changing activity.

Since the sense of a separate self or 'self-consciousness' is an outcome of the ceaselessly changing indivisibly unfolding life process, the question of its destruction is ultimately irrelevant and meaningless.

And it makes no difference if this is realized or not.
