LOL NotTwo, this really happened: a guy (not me!) "channels" previous lives, that he was Merlin, and she was "The Lady Of The Lake", and she fell for it and he got her in bed.

Life and dead:
The following are just remarks that want to speak for themselves, or not if you like.
Nothing too personal to you here drfaust, just sparking points of view, that's all.

"You are already dead"
is one of my favorites and actually I dunno why it still strokes such a string.
Google finds only BS on it, but I got it from a spiritual context somehow.

Death is part of life as life is part of death, why the distinct? Because of its looks?
Once mass and time and energy looked pretty unrelated too, it still does. Looks deceive.

Separating the both from each other is like taking the mirage for real, and it darn looks real. For your investigation efforts: will you settle for the looks and choose on that base?

Investigating life is as pointless as investigating death, the one is not easier nor wiser nor more possible. Finding "answer" to one (or just familiarity for that matter) cannot exist outside finding answer to both, excluding one blocks all chances far in advance. The paradox exist only in the minds mind, acting or choosing accordingly equals to self limitation.

Within (a part?) of Tao-ism, is to get to know death before dying. The chi-cultivating exercises are no means to itself, they have a purpose to become able to set one's consciousness into a chi-vessel of sorts, enabling one to soar above the life/death boundaries. For this the exercises are extremely life-oriented (very physical) to find deep within death. Not as a goal, but as a bonus along the way. A hoax of Tao-ism? Cute Mantak Chia marketing? I don't know.

I think drfaust, if you deepen on the passion, emotions, life aspects of life, the heading is not really that "away" from dampening life or away from the aspect of death. I think whatever one does, it comes closer to both in one move un-avoidable. That there is no choice actually

Rambling! Where is that stash?
