#Buddhism views #death not as annihilation or soul-migration, but as dissolution of conditioned processes. Modern #neuroscience aligns in that #selfhood arises from dynamic integration w/o a permanent subject. #EndOfLife #neurodynamics show structured transitions, not abrupt cessation. Both traditions question an enduring self, seeing continuity as causal unfolding, not identity preservation.

Some women don’t disappear. They just stop asking for permission to exist.

One day, the world looks away and for the first time, she sees herself without a role to play. Not grief. Not loss. A quiet redefinition.

A human side to #philosophy/philosophers:

“It still seems incredible to me that I managed to get both things, the ‘love of my life’ and a oneness with my self. And yet, I only got the one thing when I got the other. But finally I know what happiness is.”

Hannah Arendt, in a letter to her husband Heinrich Blücher (also a philosopher), 18 Sept 1937 (Within Four Walls, p. 41)

❝A child hears it said that the stove is hot. But it is not, he says; and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold. But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way. Thus, he becomes aware of ignorance, and it is necessary to suppose a self in which this ignorance can inhere. …

❝In short, error appears, and it can be explained only by supposing a self which is fallible.

❝Ignorance and error are all that distinguish our private selves from the absolute ego of pure apperception.❞

I will be adding comments/responses/questions/thoughts in future replies.

It comes as a great relief to realise that you could not have lived your life in any other way despite all the reasons and stories you tell yourself about how things could have been different.

They weren’t different because they weren’t.

The degree to which we think our conscious awareness has control and agency over our actions is greatly overstated.

Indeed I would go as far as to say what we think are choices and decisions are pure fantasy applied after the fact to instantiate a sense of a separate, autonomous entity of selfhood.
