Today I want to write about my perception of the phenomena of death in the back drop of the Spiral Cell Illusion. The wonder about death is the question - do we ever die to ourselves? I may die to others one day, but will I die to myself?



Is death a choice? Is there really a choice?



We do have a Free Will but we forfeit it the moment we are born - this birth is our first and last choice. After that the game of life is set.



Here is a weak analogy - that of a train journey. Before we board the train we have a choice. The moment we board it our free will is forfeited. Then our choices are limited to what we do inside of the train. We might see a glorious pool of water, and we can dream of taking a dip in the cool waters, but w never will and soon it will pass by as the train chugs along. To get down from the train is the only free will choice, so to say. And if the destination is pre-determined - by oneself - well, that free will choice is also curtailed.





So the Spiral Cell Illusion is what you do inside the train. Once the holographic switch is turned off, the illusion ceases.



Contemplating the phenomenon of death within the context of the Spiral Cell Illusion unveils a curious inquiry: Do we truly experience a demise within ourselves? While the external perception of our existence may wane over time, the question lingers -does the essence of who we are ever truly succumb to an internal demise?



It is also like asking - do I ever experience sleep? Others may find me sleeping but do I find myself sleeping? The sleep experience is never registered in conscious memory. We remember only those dreams that occur when we are about to wake up.



Even in the case with sleeping there is no free will choice really. We decide to sleep, but over time sleep just happens.



Consider the intriguing notion of death as a choice. Is it a matter of conscious decision, or are our paths already etched upon our entry into this intricate game of life? The paradox of free will looms large, acknowledging its existence, yet questioning the pivotal moment when we relinquish it at the threshold of birth - a singular choice that sets the stage for the unfolding drama of our lives.



Drawing a parallel to a train journey offers a glimpse into the intricacies of this surrender of free will. Before boarding the train, a realm of choices lies before us. Yet, the very act of boarding marks the forfeiture of that initial freedom. Within the confines of the train, choices emerge like fleeting landscapes viewed from the window. We may envision a refreshing pool and dream of a dip in its cool waters, but the reality remains confined within the moving carriage. The only semblance of free will is the decision to disembark, a choice limited to the predetermined stops along the journey.



The Spiral Cell Illusion, akin to the unfolding scenes within the train, encapsulates the choices and experiences within the bounds of life's intricate journey, beyond the clutches of linear time. Yet, the profound realization is that this illusion persists only as long as the holographic switch is in the "on" position. Once extinguished, the illusion dissolves, prompting reflection on the transient nature of the choices made within the confines of life's journey.



As the train of existence hurtles forward, the exploration of these internal landscapes becomes an intricate dance - choices manifesting within a finite framework, urging us to ponder the profound mystery of our own internal journey as the illusionary scenes pass by.
