The only way to overcome death is by surrendering to it.
This doesn’t mean giving up on life, it means letting go of desperately clinging to that which was never meant to be owned in the first place.
By fully accepting the impermanence of existence, it allows to be liberated from the shackles of ownership and possession that act as a kind of mental restraint.
It is impossible to lose what was never mine to begin with. Life is not meant to be owned, it’s meant to be experienced. It doesn’t mean that we should let others step on our toes, it simply means that we belong to something much greater than our little selves.
Trying to latch onto something that is inherently transient in nature is like grasping at straws. It’s like trying to hold a handful of water to call mine, just to see it slip away inevitably.
The only solution is to let go of holding on altogether. To let go of my “self”, let go of trying to win the rat race, let go of trying to be someone in the eyes of society. Nobody needs anyone else to validate the value of who and what they are, it’s all found inside each and everyone of us.
We all play on the same level in the field of existence, like a bunch of fluctuations emanating from the same underlying manifestation.
It’s easy to conflate, misinterpret or misunderstand this message based on semantics, this is why I invite anyone reading it to look beyond the words and read between the lines for the essence of the message, which is that in order to discover true belonging and liberation, we must move past the “end” of ourselves (death) and accept the impermanence of existence unequivocally.
In other words, getting over ourselves in the most drastic way possible is essential in order to live fully while the experience of life is happening.
Embracing impermanence rather than resisting it leads to a feeling of freedom that can’t be fully expressed with language or thoughts. It’s like flowing with the current of the river rather than fighting it, knowing full well that all rivers lead to the ocean, where all things belong for eternity.
