Treat Others As If You're Going To Die (Thoughts from a 2.4 gram shroom trip)

Castenada’s Don Juan talked about using your death as an ally. When you deeply accept the reality of your own demise & address the fears surrounding our finitude, then any OTHER fears take on a very different flavor. Fear & curiosity go hand-in-hand. If it really compels you, do it NOW, or start doing what you have to do to get there NOW. There are no guarantees.

Also... I cringe a little when gents state their belief that GYOW is somehow “winning.” Ultimately, there is no winning here. Death will humble each of us. But knowing that allows you to appreciate each day of good health—the possibility, the uniqueness, the irrepeatable opportunity. And focusing on oneself & one’s own way are profound & world-shaping work.

Stay humble, celebrate your life, & heed your own calling.
