Death in Mind Wins Book of the Year!

“Death in Mind” has won a BIBA (Best Independent Book Award) “Book of the Year”. It’s an essay of about 200 pages that reconceptualizes death as an ordinary psychological phenomenon we all have experienced many times.

What exactly constitutes the prize? Well, everlasting glory, of course. That, and a gold-foil sticker to put on the book covers, and a Lucite trophy engraved with title and author. Most importantly, BIBA [https://bestindiebookaward.com/live/] features the book on their web site and in their newsletter. And finally, the author gets a feeling of validation, which he reports is most pleasant, however delusional.

So what’s really to say about death? Nobody really knows what it’s  like to die. However, Black Holes of Nothingness (BHNs) perforate normal experience. Most are unremarkable such as dreamless sleep, anesthetic blackout, and the nothingness in some kinds of meditation.

Since all BHNs are basically the same (nothing), maybe death is just another BHN. If so, you have already died!  Many times!  We all have. We can learn something about death by closely examining BHNs of the everyday kind.

Reframed like that, death appears to be not a singularity at the end of life but rather, an ordinary event that repeats throughout experience.

Arguments and evidence in the essay are psychological, meaning they adhere to naturalism without recourse to spiritualism, religion, or magic.

Topics include:
Physical and Mental Death
Dying
Afterlife?
The Soul
Karma
The Reconstruction
Reincarnation?
