Is anyone else scared of the afterlife

Hello. I have to say I do agree with many of these posts. I have memories of some of my previous deaths in different incarnations, and afterwards. I honestly am not worried because at least I can finally go to a place of peace and happiness. I am sure you have nothing to worry about. Don't worry about the event, because it is a short time and then there is the best feeling of your life, because you are free.

Through meditation you can discover that in essence you are consciousness itself and this was not born and cannot die. You could see this now by recognizing that all the things you are conscious of - thoughts, feelings, sensations, perceptions, etc. - are always changing... but the fact that you are always aware does not.

Another way is to look into the personal near death experiences described in articles and books by thousands of people. Many of them say they were surprised to learn they remain themselves after death, but without pain and difficulty. In other words, they are Conscious that they exist. http://nderf.org is a good place to start.

Thank you Xan, I aprieciate that someone responded, and it is very reasurring that we should still be conscious in some way after death, even if I will probably be a little doubtful till it actually happens. Again, thanks,
Love and Light,

Wolfe... Another way some people realize they are conscious beings even without a physical body and life is in astral projection... often spontaneously. There's nothing like the first time of being across the room and seeing yourself napping on the couch, and there's much more to experience out-of-body.

You could get a lot from reading "Secret of the Soul" by William Buhlman, even if you don't want to develop AP ability. It has many great personal stories.

It's normal and natural to feel fearful about death, and suspect about the afterlife. After all, survival instincts are wired into us, and that's good!

But I'm starting to become less fearful about it.

The body will become part of the Earth again, or the winds, depending on your spiritual ceremony for it. But you will finally remember your true form, light, love, consciousness energy, an everlasting piece of the One.

Embrace your fears and transmute them into faith and love and open up your arms to what awaits you!! :)

Yes, this is amazing insight, imo, if only we could somehow beam it to others who are overwhelmed with angst. Perhaps that's why more and more people are sharing their NDE's. The Light wants people to know, in order to release their paralyzing fear and focus on what's important...which is of course creating, growing in awareness, living now, rather than obsessing on dying. Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it!

What afterlife?

I forgot a psych game from the 70s.
Picture yourself alone in a white room, a cube
with no windows or doors.
How do you feel?
What are the 1st 3 words that describe your feeling.
Write them down - I'll be back.
