You cannot find the me the "I" as our psychical form is in a constant flux of change, tiny wee cells are constantly dying, constantly being replaced. In relation to our temporary human form, nothing exists just from its own side. The "I" Ali / Rob is merely label. Emptiness:
Emptiness: The Most Misunderstood Word in Buddhism. ... In his book on the Heart Sutra the Dalai Lama calls emptiness “the true nature of things and events,” but in the same passage he warns us “to avoid the misapprehension that emptiness is an absolute reality or an independent truth.”

Death is often a taboo subject and even those who hold strong beliefs may avoid talking about it. But death was once an integral part of family life. People died at home, surrounded by loved ones. Adults and children experienced death together, mourned together and comforted each other.


Location i spent some years listening to Geshe Tashi Tsering:
Extracted from Dying Well, by Geshe Tashi Tsering, Chenrezig Institute, Queensland, transcribed and edited by Tom Vichta from a teaching to the Amitayus Hospice Service, Mullumbimby, NSW, in April 1995.

The Death Process
At the time of death, the winds associated with the four elements (earth, water, fire, air) deteriorate, until those elements can no longer act as a basis for consciousness. We are constituted of the five aggregates, the six sense powers and the four elements, and our remaining as beings depends on these twenty factors. At the time of death, these twenty factors undergo deterioration in a series of eight dissolutions. If one is aware of the death process and has studied and practised it, then over the course of this serial dissolution one is simply understanding that now earth is dissolving into water, water into fire and so on, and one is able to follow the process completely without fear.

It’s diverse. Life includes everything from the way we are today to that Roman soldier who perished in the lava at Pompeii because they forget to relieve him. Live for today or live in such a way worthy of remembering? Either way fate decides.
