I have read a bunch of occultists who claimed that for the vast majority of people, afterlife consists in an eternity of semi-conscious dreaming where you are always just on the edge of awareness but can't wake up and continue being subject to the dream world. This is contrasted with the few strong spirits who become gods after death.
I've found it pretty convincing desu.

It is pretty more profound, yes.

>I literally never even think about death

That's part of the cope. We construct reality, largely via culture, to not deal with death: to avoid thinking about it entirely. We also cope with death by means of immortalization -- religion, reproduction, etc.

The book, of course, is more in-depth than that, but that's cursory stuff.

But I'm not AVOIDING it I simply don't care about it, I can try to force myself to understand why some people have an existential fear of dread but it doesn't work. I understand fully that I will die or that I could die in the next second or tomorrow or I could die horribly painfully or I could die and cease to exist forever and I will die and the impact I had on the world will eventually fade into nothingness but it makes no impact on me at all. I'm perfectly content with dying. This all seems like projection to me.

My friend, I did not say that I'm agreeing with the author's theses. I Am afraid that I must ask: have you read the book in its entirety ?

Books, I believe are nothing more than the exteriorization of the authors inner machinations, and humans atm do not have the "ultimate truth of existence " , so of course each persons attempts to explain a chaotic reallity are going to be imperfect .

Yet I believe he comes up with some interesting ideas and concepts throughout the book, he definitely is a person with quite a bit of cultural capital.

Let's just say that... Every person in existence believes that the world MUST adjust to their prejudices ...

So maybe Ernest Becker is coping , or maybe YOU are ... Psycoanalysis is quite an interesting subject .... but I know people hate it for some reason and honestly I see this work more as a philosophical essay . he backs his claims with a bunch of german idealists quotes, etc.. so maybe try seeing it under that light...


Also, I recommend you read Eric Fromm and Victor Frankl as far as philosopher/psychologists go, I also believe some of their core ideas can be used on a day to day basis, even if you don't find the answer to existence in their texts . They also have interviews on YouTube and so on ...

Coping, according to Ernest Becker , is essential for humans . It's not a bad or a good thing, it's just a thing that happens: kind of like death, which is a morally neutral universal process.

As a matter of fact, the book does not offer an easily identifiable form of liberation from this process , but argues for a "will to power" , or a creative form of utilizing this 'primal coping' (my term not his )

A first point of discussion could be about what does "living well" imply , no?

I believe the consequences of asserting that everything is a cope are huge, as a matter of fact it directly goes against what our ancestors KNEW (because they didn't believe it, they KNEW the cosmos had an order and inmortality in one way or another was possible) up to the second half of the 20th century .

Its kind of like saying : "Well I already know that the categorical imperative means I should not do unto others what I would not want done in exactly the same way to me , so why bother reading Kant?"

Stop striving to find "meaning" then. You are a conscious being experiencing your life and that alone makes it "meaningful" to you. You think life is so horrible because you want something that doesn't exist and something that you probably can't even define. Seek different things like beauty, happiness, family, etc. Find enjoyment in your life before you lose it, and the fact that you wont be able to find enjoyment in it in the future (because you will be dead) doesn't in any way negate the present that you are living right now.

There is no "past" and "future." That's the illusion we experience. All is one, and the one is nothingness, hence why life is irrelevant in the face of eternity. It's a small, temporal staple.

>The future can't change the past, the past has nothing to do with the future. If you really think what you are experiencing in the present is somehow changed by what will happen in the future go ahead and kill yourself and end your tortuous quest for so-called meaning.

I don't need to read Becker to know you're a faggot. Everything in life fades with enough time, joy, sorrow, people you love, hate, the person you are today, etc. If you dwell in the future you will only find death to whatever you surround yourself with now, and if you dwell in the past you will only find things that are now dead to you. Otherwise they're in the present, which is where your attention is when you're not suffering from anxiety and projecting it onto the universe instead of dealing with your own insecurity. Is your identity so narrow that it assumes the person you were as a child is the same person you are now? That person has died and become afraid of life, but you have the choice to become a person who accepts life. How is being content with life a cope? Why would you not want to even consider being happy, are you afraid of not being your current cheerful self for eternity? You're so resistant to change that you project your personal insecurities onto everyone else as some objective truth that exists for every subjective reality we experience, somehow.

You can't accept life without accepting death, and you can't fear death without fearing life (protip: life implies death).

Believed, knew, believed they knew - I don't think the distinction matters in this context, and either way I don't know what was in their minds.
I also don't follow you because their religious beliefs would be coping whether or not they believed it or knew it.

>Isolation ... a fully arbitrary dismissal from consciousness of all disturbing and destructive thought and feeling. (Engström: “One should not think, it is just confusing.”) A perfect and almost brutalising variant is found among certain physicians, who for self-protection will only see the technical aspect of their profession. It can also decay to pure hooliganism, as among petty thugs and medical students, where any sensitivity to the tragic side of life is eradicated by violent means (football played with cadaver heads, and so on.)

>In everyday interaction, isolation is manifested in a general code of mutual silence: primarily toward children, so these are not at once scared senseless by the life they have just begun, but retain their illusions until they can afford to lose them. In return, children are not to bother the adults with untimely reminders of sex, toilet, or death.

There's a strong appeal to the idea: if you have failed on some way (failed to reproduce, failed at creative success, failed at popularity, ) you can logically free yourself from the guilt that might otherwise haunt your life until the end. All of these things are immortality projects, which will not grant you immortality. You will be forgotten.
The second part is even higher utility: don't waterboy to achieve immortality through dedication to an idea, ideology, or political force. Like all the other immortality projects, we are attracted to these as a way to live on through forces bigger than ourselves. More than any other "causa sui" I think the commitment to ideology is the most horrible ways to waste your life. Maybe that's my projection. Becker didn't even hammer on this one too hard, and he's not the first.
So finally the value is in questioning and refining your causa sui (vital lie that this activity brings your life meaning / immortality). Free yourself off the bad ones and pick the ones you want to commit yourself to. They are all arguably equal in uselessness, but being a painter with a lot of friends will probably bring you more joy than joining the black bloc and shooting dope

What are we to make of a creation in which the routine activity is for organisms to be tearing others apart with teeth of all types — biting, grinding flesh, plant stalks, bones between molars, pushing the pulp greedily down the gullet with delight, incorporating its essence into one's own organization, and then excreting with foul stench and gasses the residue. Everyone reaching out to incorporate others who are edible to him.

The mosquitoes bloating themselves on blood, the maggots, the killerbees attacking with a fury and a demonism, sharks continuing to tear and swallow while their own innards are being torn out — not to mention the daily dismemberment and slaughter in "natural" accidents of all types: an earthquake buries alive 70 thousand bodies in Peru, automobiles make a pyramid heap of over 50 thousand a year in the U.S. alone, a tidal wave washes over a quarter of a million in the Indian Ocean.

The soberest conclusion that we could make about what has actually been taking place on the planet for about three billion years is that it is being turned into a vast pit of fertilizer

Freud was pretty based and Jung is the real midwit. Becker is right that everything is a cope either way though.

His argument to you is that you've repressed your fear in order to live life, and you aren't ever truly facing it, because if you did you would be existentially anxious. He also admits that saying everyone who isn't fearful of death is simply repressing is a bit of an argumentative trump card, but that's why he tries to explain it further.

You act as if leaving this world isn't more terrifying/difficult as what will come after it, there is plenty of spiritual work that follows our time on this earth or at least our time on this earth during our current lifespan.

Is self knowledge useful? Also, he is not saying anything the Greeks or German idealists did not say before, but again, I truly believe you would like the book, also check out my post above where I recommend secondary bibliography. :)

And again, I cannot make you read a book you dont want to read, do what you believe is best, it is not a long read at all....

Huh. I'm noticing a lot of my "to read" list from 4 years ago is showing up on this board. Never got to most of those books, though.
