Message: <blockquote data-quote="JayJaySattva" data-source="post: 42528" data-attributes="member: 147">It is not so much about a biological continuity, but a psychological one deeply base on subconsciously held beliefs about who I supposedly am, the role I have in this world, and the stories I tell myself about my experiences, trauma, and all of that. When I say it felt like dying it was because there was an emptiness to this—a lack of inherent existence—to all of these identities in the sense that there was no "I" in charge of aspiring these roles, but it was a multitude of conditions the ones who did it.In other words, the lack or non-existence of a central self or soul behind this body. Obviously, biology and so on have designed us this way, but at the same time, not being able to be aware of this illusion brings tremendous psychological suffering sometimes.</blockquote>
