The Spiritual Ethics of Suicide

[Diana]

I think there is a case of spiritual gluttony on this planet where people want to just devour experience, without thinking or necessarily appreciating what it is they are devouring. They just want to move on to the next, new, better experience. This is just as true for spiritual folk as it is for material folk. There are tons of seekers who are hinged entirely on the next experience, the time after death, the next amazing meditation, living forever in the future and not in the present.

This is evident in the New Age community. It is exemplified in the phrase: We are are not bodies, we are souls. It is, I think, another example of unconsciousness.

To be in the moment, which is not that easy to experience given the state of things here, is a singular experience. It feels entirely different than what naturally unfolds here day after day when doing what one must do. Artists will know how it feels, when they are "in the groove" as I call it and time ceases to exist.
