Isn't the desire to live longer just the fear of death? I'm becoming closer with death. The "bardo." I believe that. I believe it's a slip into a subconscious world of dreams (and monsters.) And I'm ready to face them. Earthly life is just...boring. What am I gonna do, garden? Watch a sunset? I'd rather fight my demons. That's why I love sleep and especially nightmares so much. I just want to face reality.

 

I'm dying as fast as I can....

 

It isn't what you do it is what you don't do

 

I take 10mg of Escitalopram daily

 

No hamburgers

 

A pack of cigarettes a day to make my lungs resilient.

 

Just smoke weed, it won’t kill you

 

I would, if only I knew how to procure it.

 

I no longer fear death. Subsequently, I live like the hedonist that I am.

 

i breathe. if i stopped that, i'd stop living longer pretty quickly.

 

There are plenty of things you can do to shorten your life, but very few to live longer

 

avoid all causes of stress as much as i can
try not to stress out about doing so
eat as diverse a diet as i can
keep my mind active
encourage imagination
dream my own dreams
believe in a universe more diverse then people tell each other they want their beliefs to be

these things i do that are in my nature are not specifically to extend the duration of my life,
other then the furst two.

and yes, natural or not, over the years i've developed a non-attraction to most of the things, are disadventagious to health.
which i believe are substitutes for the imagination that too many associate maturity with abandoning.

i'm still attracted to comfort though, but not to worshiping money to purchase it though,
which would be self defeating and self contradictory.

and yes i do exert effort, if mostly to exercize the mind.
and i refuse to hate the combination of logic and consideration,
nor trust the goodness of anything that wishes to be feared.

in a universe where nothing has to exist in order to exist,
there is plenty of room for anything and everything that wants to,
without having to wish to be feared or make war on each other.

avoiding an advisarial perspective i think may also help to avoid stress.
which doesn't mean having to tolerate intolerance.

at any rate, stress is the killer.
and pretending to love what you can't isn't stressless either.
but consideration not dependent on love or other emotion,
makes a lower stress world for everyone to live longer and happier in.

 

Don't eat bacon and sausages

 

except reality isn't monsters, that's a fantasy of the ego. reality is completely impersonal, and the ego throws a tantrum because it is.
the whole point of the bardo, is to learn to accomodate diversity the way reality does. the hungry ghosts are your own intollerance of its doing so.
we all have that somewhat, we never get rid of it entirely, but that advisarial perspective is something, it may be part of survival as a child,
but is more often contrary to even our personal gratification as adults.

 

Dead things are preserved by being pickled in alcohol. I say that's a wicked waste of booze, I'm gonna be pickled BEFORE I die, not after, so I add a tot of Brandy to my morning coffee.

 

as a child i thought i would do that, but then i started to find other things more interesting.

 

if nothing else, that's what you do to make pigs live longer.

 

Smile and hope for the best
