A lecture that helped me years ago. Don’t put the question of death off til later. It is the most important thing to consider now.
“‘Memento mori.’ ‘Be mindful of death.’ Gurdjieff says in one of his books, that the most important thing for anyone to realize, is that you and all you, every person you see will soon be dead. See, it sounds so gloomy at first, because we’ve devised a culture fundamentally resisting death.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dominique Johnson is a writer and author of The American Minervan created years ago and changed from its first iteration as Circle of Asia (11 years ago), because of its initial Eurasian focus. The change indicated increasing concern for the future of their own home country. He has spent many years academically researching the deeper philosophical classical sources of Theosophy, Eclecticism and American Republicanism to push beyond current civilizational limitations. He has spent his life since a youth dedicated to understanding what he sees as the “inner meanings” and instruction in classical literature, martial philosophies, world mythology and folklore for understanding both the nature of life and dealing with the challenges of life.
