A large part of me accepts the fact that life is a flowing, moving medium with currents, and that we are our physical appearance. Much of what we perceive ourselves to be will be our memory of what we subconsciously take with us. So sleeping or thinking we're sleeping (sounds like the Matrix a bit) will only be another perceived thing we probably think is necessary.
Stupid as it sounds, my concern is not about dying, its more about will I get thirsty or hungry, or at least think I'm one of the two. I love drinking water.
The other point in all of this is how often we hear so often that "death is not believed by all".
Is there any hope that even a small portion of the reports we hear of the contact between life and death; there findings still speak of people in denial of death.
That's a cool question.
