    The document discusses death consciousness and practices to become aware of one's mortality. It describes focusing on internal organs and the brain as physical things that cease to function at death. It also mentions the death breath and death meditation techniques. Maintaining a death awareness can lead to realizations about the futility of striving and attachments, feelings of despair, and eventually not caring and acceptance of life as it unfolds without anxiety. However, the document notes that death awareness is not without dangers and most people cannot and should not become death aware.

    Mirror work - life comes alive when we maintain a death consciousness

    What is death consciousness? - to endeavor to be aware of death

    Practices

    Focus attention on inner organs - particularly the heart, and see them as
    lumps of meat. When they cease to function we cease to function.

    Focus on the brain in the head - this is the physical location of all your
    thoughts - a lump of fat.

    Death breath - focus on the out-breath, and pause at the end of the out-
    breath

    Death meditation - the ceasing of thought, emotion, desire, bodily


    sensation, senses

    Body sense for a few minutes - and realize that sensation will cease and
    the things you are sensing will be incinerated.

    Natural realizations when we become mindful of death

    Futility - go into it, realize all your striving is futile, along with your ambitions and
    attachments

    Despair - the absolute certainty death will happen

    But eventually:

    Not caring

    Inner acquiescence - an acceptance of life as it unfolds

    The loss of anxiety and tension along with ambitions

    Play - because nothing matters

    Death Realization 1
    Not without its dangers, and as Gurdjieff said - most people cannot and should not
    become death aware.
