Yes, of course. But, to clarify, I think that no-one, basically, believes entirely in material objects. But they represent mind-sets. And they have referentiel value. I think that I am as disgaged/engaged with “things” as anyone in this world. For exemple, I accumulate stuff. Records, to name one. Everyone of them so delicately selected. I would be very very sad to loose them.
I dont have confidence in the word “fate”, it tricks you a little bit, seems to signifie more than it actually does. I feel the relationship between me and the world (is it really possible to make such a distinction?) as a dynamic one, unreductible. True, each moment was ment to be, but, to my knowledge, I created it, because there was something I needed to know. Evey moment is important.
It’s true that you live in the moment, but these moments return, stored in the head. They have a story to tell. And sometimes, a nasty one…:-(
It seems to me that you actually know more that notions of birth and death. In fact, compared to the other things I normally believe to know, birth and death are a bit abstract, no? To honor the title of this thread, “remember your safety”, I would like to say: trust your mental capability, look close and make good choices. Dont be too reckless, sometimes your own recklessness will push you around between events, like a monkey lost in space.
