You couldn't even be aware of blackness as there is no you to perceive it, How can a conscious being experience non existence?? Its mindblowing. It would be as if you never existed, past, present & future all erased. It makes me dizzy thinking about it! It bothers me more actually that might have happened to my mum & dad but it's still so abstract, to not perceive even not perceiving.

Thoughts on this??

I think you wrote so honestly and openly about your feelings here I wanted to reply to say how brave you were to do so. I believe you have touched on something that most of the population would have silently thought about at one time or other. The fear of this thought can be so intense it can be forgiveable that many others people do not want to discuss the uncertain inevitability at such depth.

Quite some time ago I myself have had similar thoughts to you and share your views, over many years and experiences I came to my own truth as I expect many other would or will do to their own.

I have just talked about the ego at the following link: Go to page 2, reply #12.

I believe that our questioning all falls from the creation of the ego, that what we are echoing are the egos desperation for truth and answers to its existence.
