So you don't mean the time when you experienced everything as one and interconnected? Or the one where you thought that everything repeats? Either way neither have anything to do with the discipline that Ouspensky and Gurdjieff proposed.Bill Wiltrack wrote:.

Re: Why I find life meaningless and death a downer
I understand you very well and clearly.
When I saw the other posts I thought I was also going into a depression, but are you really?
Because I find it just a way to see life. I think it's a dangerous way to think, because you can easily get into a depression. It's a pessimistic way to look at things, but I can't do a thing about it. I do smile a lot, I can be very happy sometimes, but it's just a way of seeing things.
And I think you don't need to go to the psychologic topics, because it's a interesting thing to think about.
To think about the world, what we're doing here and why we're doing this. Because it really doesn't make sense. You are born, indeed without asking for it, and then you have to try to fit in, work your ass off, learn stuff you don't care about so the stuff you want to learn get neglected, earn some money to live the life you havent asked for. And yes, you will be forgotten. Except for people like Plato or Aristotle or Einstein who have made the world a little clearer for people. Your family will think of you for a little while, but in a few decades they don't know anymore who their ancestors were. Yes, maybe the name, but not the person.
But everytime I think this way, I try to think like an optimist. Because yes, you havent asked for this life, but the world (97% of the population not counted) is a beautiful place. You should watch there movies about our nature en the beautiful places we have. Then you should travel to one of those beautiful places and maybe you will get more inspiration for your composing. I'm going to finish my college and learn the things I want to learn about and live my life the way I want to. Because life is beautiful, people aren't always. You have to find the right ones.
