The whole path
Fear of life outweighs fear of death
Fear of life is much stronger than fear of death.
What Scott says
fear of life is much stronger than fear of death. me, it mostly fear of life is fear of expansion, right? And fear of space and the beginnings and things. And fear of death is contraction and the endings and darkness, right?
And so that's why the fear of death is this kind of contracted ball of pain. And the fear of life is this expansive more thing. And fear of life is much stronger than fear of death. Much strong.
But we think it's the fear of death. But the fear of death is, we avoid it greatly, but it's actually not that bad. It's just the anticipatory anxiety is what's bad with the fear of death.
