The Denial of Death

<p>The siblings discuss their reading of 'The Denial of Death' by Ernest Becker; how it contradicts their old Mormon understanding of an eternal self and how it informs the realistic understanding of the immediate, natural, fearful, fascinating, transient life in a human body.</p> <p>'This is the terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consciousness of self, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self-expression -- and with all this yet to die. What kind of deity would create such a complex and fancy worm food?'</p> <p>---</p> <p>Website: <a href="http://siblingsinzion.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">siblingsinzion.com</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href="http://facebook.com/siblingsinzion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">facebook.com/siblingsinzion</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/siblingsinzion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">instagram.com/siblingsinzion</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "http://twitter.com/siblingsinzion">twitter.com/siblingsinzion</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="http://tiny.cc/SIZYouTube" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">tiny.cc/SIZYouTube</a></p> <p>Theme Music: 'The Falls' by Umbrellaman - <a href= "http://umbrellamanband.com">http://umbrellamanband.com</a></p>
