I surmise that when something like the viral infection of 2020 arrives it takes one out of ones comfort zone and many react in differing ways. It is all a matter of identity. The conditioned habitual programmes which are only as permanent as the mind / body life are as real and solid and becomes identity which is a reality and is then felt as real and solid until something comes along to shake that familiarity and security in the known. Then one can experience first hand the frailty of identity in impermanence.
Therefore when something huge like 9 / 11 and this viral infection of 2020 reaches a seemingly amazing incredible proportions then it challenges the habitual conditioned reality and the feeling of shock and dismay ensues. Some may come to terms with this more adequately and quickly than others. Some may find it so dramatic as to get depressed, ill and suicidal. The loss of the familiar leaves a gap, a void and many turn to distractions and noise, as it is quieter now with less cars and aeroplanes. TV and hire of films thereof get many users and make money from it. Entertainment is a must.
From my surmising and arrogance what if one experiences the gap, the void, the loss and has reached an understanding of the frailty of identity and the impermanence of anything ever conceived in the Universe, indeed the Universe itself is always being born and dissolving, dying and for without that, new life would not arrive.
So perhaps should one have reached a consciousness of being just an awareness without identifying radically or just a loose affiliation to a few essentials in order to sustain the body, such as some food, clothing warm and a change of clothing, some warm dry shelter and live in simplicity with very few external distractions and dwell in a dynamic meditative awareness with an easy life style that facilitated very little and almost frugal not miserly and lived in harmony with the inner peace of not having many attachments and not forcing detachment but a natural 'not need' for the trappings that make one fall into identity through possessions and hoarding. Ones identity through accumulation of material and mental concepts are transient and impermanent and so this attachment becomes frail although felt at the time fixed and forever.
For the 'not need' naturally person the identity to wordily and conceptional beliefs is minimum and so the shock of loss of familiarity is less traumatic for ones identity is not of what is inconveniently termed outward things of a materialistic nature.
Then what is this awareness, it has seemingly no seemingly human senses, unless it is egoistic awareness, an ego aware of its programmes and conditioning, it knows --it knows --of itself, whilst the less ego awareness know it does not know as is more trusting in the unknown. So the awareness has the ability in its unique capabilities and intuitive sense which is an invisible source to human senses but has senses in a different energy consciousness and merely directs its attention to a different aspect such as to human senses inner mind viewing or outer material views and experiences.
An example watching TV and being immersed and captivated and the awareness is identified with the programme, however if one chooses to experience oneself as knowingly watching the watcher looking at the TV ones awareness is not identified with the programme.
Suppose one was the witness to life and not immersed and lost as identified as the TV programme then ones reality is in that programme, when the programme changes or there is a loss of the programme and a blank screen one can feel the shock and loss as above and have a chance to see the attachment and trap of programming. However if one is the witness one is used to just being that.
Now comes a critical point; the programmes are impermanent, transient and interchangeable. However does the witness survive even unto the death of the mortal coil flesh body or is it a finality that oblivion is all there is after the striving in this life and seemingly only to procreate and send more to oblivion or is there a survival in a conscious energetic form as it were, 'the form of no form' and the witness awareness moves onto or into witnessing another set of 'programmes' or whatever. I guess surmising will not suffice and one will experience or not on ones demise.
