I disagree. It just sounds artistically pleasing. There IS no realisation that we don't exist: that claim is a delusion. People who 'realise' they don't exist are in a quandry for, if they have realised they don't exist, then they couldn't have realised that very fact. It's as if 'notx' realised it was not... how could it, when it is not in existence?
However, I suppose you could viably argue that, were the logically impossible to happen, 'true immortality comes' is a fair enough assertion. More likely though, 'tis romantic rubbish.

with the realisation that your perceptions of form are illusory, yes, this is so. Nothing new to a buddhist, read good commentary on tibetan book of dead

It is purely an oxymoron, non-sensical; an element of the philosophical. However, it is amusing how it can evoke a conversational debate from many!

It sounds pretty profound. I can sort of understand it though. Our spirits are what live on forever, therefore making us immortal.

Not much point going down the pub for a pint then. If you ask me it all gets a bit stupid.

If you want to see if this is true, try missing a few credit card payments.

it's a busy quote, mostly from person(s) who have too much free thinking time.
this goes beyond complete thinking and just misses capacity thinking.

That's great. Does that mean I don't have to go back to work?
