Will the world end? Of course, it always ends and is always ending in the same way that we are always dying, only we don't usually notice until some misstep, stumble, or fall. But since birth, we have been dying, even though at the beginning, in our youth, we were growing and getting better and better until we started fading, then cycling, then having good days and bad. Yet through all of that, we have been hurtling toward destruction because impermanence (flux, change, alteration, uncontrollability) is the nature of existence, which is also impersonal and incapable of satisfying/fulfilling us. But we pretend it's not. So it might be good to prepare, to pull our head out of the sand and move out of the way just a little. It could be worse and will be better if we only look ahead. Here, two different voices say something about that, one through an NDE and the other, he alleges, through the CIA.

When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart — when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain?

Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed book, she shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy. More
