Collapsology enthusiasts, those who believe multi-systemic collapse is imminent, share one of the characteristics of the awakened being.
Although this mark of awakening deserves to be even more finely calibrated, it is present in the following form:
These profiles have a more acute awareness of ephemerality than the average person.
They have been able to envision the end of their environment and anticipate the ways in which the world that will emerge after the one that is collapsing will operate.
Their specificity is to apply this understanding to their immediate environment, to make it an imminent event.
Of course, they may right, and from the perspective of the awakened being, this doesn’t change much.
Simply, they restrict the entire temporality of collapse to a single one of these possibilities (imminent collapse).
This heightened awareness of the end is thought of at the collective level, but at the stage at which the collapsophile finds himself, he does not perceive that it may be a collective resonance of an individual reality: his death.
Both levels are true, separately and together.
« Everything must go »
Indeed, there is nothing immutable in everything around us, nothing that escapes the necessities of decomposition. In « everything, » in everyone, there is myself.
My annihilation is also the annihilation of everything.
There is nothing that can subsist (to me) if I do not subsist.
Even if objects had an intrinsic, independent existence,
The moment I disappear, they also sink with my closing eyes.
The fascination with the collapse of society is indeed an expression of our perceived individual death, which is in the process of being digested.
And if everything does indeed collapse, this does not invalidate this truth, quite the contrary.
