The human mind is an extremely busy place, managing a traffic of fifty thousand thoughts per day.
Meditation gurus teach about being – rather than thinking or doing, but most of us are unable to silence the busy-ness of the brain. Darkness is seen as pregnant, concealing something from sight. We fear blankness or nothingness as it is equivalent of death. We invent stories of life after death, to bypass the fear of nothingness. Death needs to be a happening, but unknown place.
I remember wanting to cross the horizon in childhood. A visit to the seashore often left my parents speechless, as they couldn’t answer all my questions. It took an effort for them to say that a boat ride into oblivion was not possible, despite the dark silhouettes of ships that I could see in the distance.

Excellent response Reena, like the others I I want to think not of nothingness but of somethingness.

As children, our minds are much more open to possibilities. Years of being broken down mentally and physically close a lot of doors.
