Wayne Dyer via Carlos Castaneda

In the Active Side of Infinity Castaneda states "The most difficult problem that all "civilized" people seem to have is that we are all in bodies that are going to die but we act as if they're not."

So that the concept of infinity is something that eludes us and because we don't see our infinite nature we get stuck on what he called the inactive side of infinity. and that shift from the inactive side where we come to fear death is troublesome. Because basically, we don't die other people do. And it's ok. We expect our grandparents to die until we become a grandparent. We're not surprised about the people we read about on ferry boat accidents or in explosions. But we deny our own death because we fear it and we fear something that doesn't exist.
