When I was younger...

This is a thought that has just came to my head of a memory when i was younger.

Basically at a very young age I was interested in a lot of weird things, not the ordinary things that 'normal boys' were into like football and stuff. At this young age i had a sudden thought which kind of made my mind hurt a lot.

And that thought for some reason was, 'can you imagine yourself not there?'

This thought occurred way back before I even knew about spirituality but at a young age i would have thought about this in so much depth that it would actually start to bug me or hurt my head.

And you know how this thought came about?

It was my dad (who is very athiest) and he said to me, 'when we die, we just become worm food, we are no longer there'.

And in my little mind at that time i actually thought, wow that must be totally wrong!

Has anyone ever thought of this thought at a young age, or even now and thought to yourself that death is not possible? at least in the sense of what my dad had spoke.

Just thought i would share this thought with you all.

I was born a medium and had relationships with my guides from day 1. I always knew we were here on borrowed time. Never did I think there was death in the way that some believe. Sometimes we remember and sometimes, like your father, we forget.

It's sweet of you to share that childhood memory, even if it was a very difficult one that caused you pain. It's an enlightening and insightful happening, because even before you got old enough to think of yourself as intellectual and insightful, you had an instantaneous judgment call on the subject! Your psyche was in pain because you had the thought of how could my dad whom I love and look up to and count on be wrong, yet he can't be right about this, can he? No wonder your mind hurt!
