SELF-IDENTITY AND DEATH (PDF-1816)

Consciousness transference is not just an exotic spiritual concept that refers to some live-long event at the end of life. We can benefit from learning it now, and begin the process of transferring our conscious attachment from what makes up what we call our self to the mind itself, that which we will actually be taking with us when we die. We should all learn the difference. Putting all our eggs in the one basket of our personal self, thinking of our self as permanent thing is a recipe for despair, because the process of life (and certainly of death) will painstakingly remove our clinging fingers from each attachment to allow us to go free. And it will be heartbreakingly painful. We shall be released, like it or not, sooner or later.
