Blue .:
I'm scared of Final Nirvana. People rant and rave about how wonderful the universe is, when you connect with the one, when you give up all your ego.
But this is what scares me.
Someone made Samsara. That's f*cked up. Who would make this? It's a giant game if you think about. You get enough merit you get to be an angel, if you play your cards right blah blah. Who would make hell? What kind of person would do that? Have you read the descriptions of hell. I suggest you go do.
Whoever, made samsara is the same person who made final nirvana.
That scares me
the final place you will be for eternity. Wtf? Cause when you give up all ego... you can't do anything, you can't go anyway, you're pretty much at the whim of whatever it's gonna be
I am scared of eternal blackness, or nothingness.
I know that it is actually good, but I have this fear. I just can't believe hell. How could someone be so sadistic, why create this giant game.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the creator is us, me, the universal one.
I am just venting, no censoring at all
make me feel better

What if there were 'no-one' experienced in that mind/body organism called Blue? As in no sense of tangible 'exisiting' or 'presence' or 'being' or 'becoming' or 'me-ness' in any shape or form or manifestation?
What would be scared of what non-existence?
There are practices talked of on this site and other sites that lead to a place like this, where there is only a void, and here I don't mean some fabricated jhana like mind state, but an absence of that which is 'scared', a sense of existing/presence/me-ness/being/continuous coming to be, and wanting to be for ever and a day. If so inclined, this whole compounding mess of desire for becoming can be seen to drop away with the right practices.
A literal interpretation of the following:
"Then, Bāhiya, you should train yourself thus: In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen. In reference to the heard, only the heard. In reference to the sensed, only the sensed. In reference to the cognized, only the cognized. That is how you should train yourself. When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen, only the heard in reference to the heard, only the sensed in reference to the sensed, only the cognized in reference to the cognized, then, Bāhiya, there is no you in connection with that. When there is no you in connection with that, there is no you there. When there is no you there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two. This, just this, is the end of stress."
