“The strategies and avoidance around the experience of 'not being' or death are what keeps you from the experience of eternal life.”
Imagine confronting the very thing you fear most: death. In this episode of 'Being Yourself', Gangaji and host Hillary Larson tackle the profound topic of facing death and the fear of 'not being'. They discuss how our avoidance strategies around death can actually prevent us from truly living.
Inspired by the story of Ramana, who at 16 chose to face his fear head-on, Gangaji invites listeners to ask themselves, 'Who dies?' By investigating this fear, we can uncover what is eternal and find peace in the present moment. This episode encourages a deep dive into our own beliefs and fears, challenging us to stop running and start living. It's a powerful conversation that offers clarity and a deeper understanding of life itself.
