Question

There is a Farsi Castaneda group fyi:

>If there’s no hell and no reincarnation, then why shouldn’t we commit suicide?

“Not to fix the spirit was to seek death, and that was the same as to seek nothing, since death was going to overtake us regardless of anything.”

>admitting that you don’t believe in God or Islam can lead to terrible consequences, even death.

“You always knew how to lie,” he said. “The only thing that was missing was that you didn’t know why to do it. Now you do.”

You are not under any obligation to tell the truth to people who will kill you, also read about petty tyrants from the books, the seers before us had it comparatively bad under the Spanish Conquistadors (nothing as soft as Western society nowadays though, we are all soft over here).

>And so, I keep asking myself: If there’s no afterlife, and no reincarnation, then what’s the point of continuing to suffer? Why shouldn’t I just end it?

You can dart past the Eagle and be free.

This is just my rudimentary thoughts on it, and I’m sure that others can offer better words than me.

P.S. Also make sure to read the books of Florinda Donner-Grau and Taisha Abelar, they speak more to women’s situation in the world.
