Sanat is right. Survivor mode is the taking over of the mind by animal instincts. And man must master the animality he has invested. We are not animals but we believe this is all there is.

Survivor mode is existence. When in survival mode, people exist. They do not live. This can only mean that life is not integrated at this level.

Because death is not part of life. Life cannot die. Existances can be wiped out into death.

Saying that death is part of life is an oximoron. It makes no real sense. But it is the conclusion of a person who survives, who exists, but who does not yet lives.

So I totally concur with the title of this thread. Man must be extracted from his existential condition, and lose his survival consciousness to start living.

This implies starting to act in accordance with light within, and that light has no fear.

The ego is constantly assaulted with the instincts of an animal body he is connected to and has lost sight of his origin. His origin is life, but now he dies. He lived, and now he exists.

But it is not his origin that dies but the memory of his experience. But the ego believe he is that memory. And the laws behind that memory is to survive. It is the function of memory to seek perpetuity.

The call of Sanat to escape survival and start living is a call to which I concur totally.
