Is Death an Illusion? Is Life an Illusion?

Life vs death by treheeWhere am I?

Sounds, I notice them …
when
I notice them.

Even if I ‘know’ they are present …
I only notice them when the notic­ing of them happens.

What is notic­ing?
Am I the act of noticing?

In deep sleep I notice noth­ing, yet I awaken and “I’m” am still here!

So, I can’t be the notic­ing. Notic­ing hap­pens, just like every­thing else that happens.

What am I?
Who am I?

Could I be the life, the energy that is noth­ing at all?

Truly noth­ing! Already vir­tu­ally like death itself.

I began this long, long jour­ney over 30 years ago because of a pro­found fear of death.

And now, in this moment, I won­der and real­ize what I could never have imagined;

the dual­ity of life and death may be the ulti­mate illusion.

Per­haps we nei­ther die nor do we live, for I can truly not find any­one or any­thing here or there or any­where — just appear­ances hap­pen­ing, here, there, and everywhere.

Unborn wan­der­ing the world, I no longer fear any shadow as I walk in the Vally of death’s grand illusion.

About A Voice

Eric was the recipient of the NASA Fellowship in Remote Sensing, as well as the United States Department of Justice Fellowship in Criminal Justice. His many years of affiliation with the Dinè (Navajo) Peacemaking Division was an outcome of this Fellowship. You can see his US Department of Justice report here and more of his professional writings here. The vision of Liberation, as described and taught in this book, is based on many years studying and practicing Zen Buddhism with an Asian master, many years working with Navajo (Dinè) traditional healers, and real-world application of these ideas from an awakened perspective. All of the principles of Liberation from the Lie have been rigorously tested and you are invited to test them in your own life. The goals of Liberation are those of healing the wounded spirit, re-connecting with the life source, seeing through our identities with inadequacy, and finding the love and passion that we are here to express.
