Suicide and hope

Steve Phillip‘s recent and poignant post about Jordan triggered something within the mind and body of Lifestyle Health Foundation Founder and Co-Director, Neil Bindemann, which lead him to write the following thoughts and questions which are accompanied by the visual posted on the home page:

“I don’t know about you, but the world I seemly experience feels to have ‘conditioned’ my mind into thinking in opposites’ ie a world of yin and yang and one of ‘duality’.

It leads me to share a few questions, the answers to which are likely to be very personal.

When the mind experiences ‘good’, then at some point, can the mind expect to experience ‘bad’?

But what makes an experience ‘good’ vs ‘bad’?

Well, perhaps that comes down to the very nature of an experience?

So, does that mean it is possible that how we perceive the meaning of a word will arise out of the experience our mind and body has, when a word or words is/are first heard or seen?

Or, is there another way we can come to know the meaning of a word and the associated experience?

Is it possible to experience death without experiencing life?

Therefore, is it possible to experience life without experiencing death?

My answer: to have, and enable a feeling of, hope.

Hope is an energy that comes through experiencing everlasting life, that can travel through a ‘baton’, a baron that seems to shine more brightly as it is passed from person to person. 🙏”
