I'm not afraid. I feel there is something awaiting.

Nope. Only thing that crosses my mind on rare occasion, is -how- I would die. That bugs me a little, cause you never really know. I mean, death itself doesn't bother me otherwise that much.

Scared? I haven't been scared since I wanted to move on in the 70s....
However, when faced with it on the T in Boston in '79...
surrounded in flames and the subway filling with smoke
watching the people in the
compartment ahead kicking out the windows and panicking/ jumping far
down onto the ground (no platform) like Eyewitness News...
My heart was pounding!
Where was all my 'accepting and wanting to be on the Other Side'
THEN?

Man did instinct kick in!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Yes. But perhaps that is because I am a new soul here on earth??? Have no memory of past lives. That said. In short, the answer is YES

thanks for this opportunity to say something on my mind.

Quote:
Benjamin Franklin:
In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.
i find this idea to be disempowering, and therefore i reject it.

i came to the realization recently that i am like Schrödinger's Cat,
both living and dead simultaneously. here's a short clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOYyCHGWJq4

i think the resolution to the situation rests on choice.
instead of waiting for fate to decide for us, we need to become
empowered in such a way as to be able to make that choice.
choosing to remain in the birth/death cycles of karmic reincarnation
may indeed be a viable option... but the power of choice is sacrosanct.

i'd like to point out that all joy and fulfilment reside within the sphere of life.

I've had several NDEs...one peaceful, one from an abuser, and one that looked very painful but I felt nothing...

I have no fear of dying nor the process leading up to it.

I believe that no one can ever be sure of that to which we are not sure about. Of course we have our own beliefs that are without question true to each of us, until our lives take another turn, suddenly what was once a certain truth no longer has this hold.

I am not afraid of dying. Of course how I die would be a matter of choice in some circumstances, but more so I wonder if anyone had dared to venture to a place within themselves, where the eternal unanswered question about where we ‘finally ‘end up after our passing had been explored?

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say for instance we believe there is a heaven we pass onto, how can we be certain this is eternity? That heaven itself isn’t forever? Is it possibly a belief we created that heaven is this way.

Then we find from heaven too there is an order in things that we at some point move on from. to we arrive at another place we believe is eternity, we arrive there and find here too is not forever, we move on. Where then is the ‘final’ resting place? And the eternal haunting question of what eventually becomes of us?

We can never be sure of anything, we will always create our own solid beliefs that seem unshakable and unquestionable in our lives, but eventually we can only surrender to accept to be taken along with the flow of what is.

To many completely surrendering to what is, is overcoming life and accepting the enjoyment of life now offered.

I believe each and every person somewhere has this feeling deep down, no matter how minute the awareness, no matter how much we may fight against this with the life we created, that there will always be a minute thought that creates an immeasurable fear that has led to our own creation of everything that we are and believe.

Death is inevitable. It is the order of things. ‘How life has been lived leads to how death is accepted’.

Frog Warrior, you may find comfort in exploring the vision that you won’t be the only boat with a lantern crossing the vast sea, there will be very many others floating their boats and lanterns around you too.
Looking around you from your boat you begin to sense and feel you are not alone, isolated or afraid anymore, as you see others look across to you as well.

But when the time comes for us all to sail, you may feel with a serene contentment knowing all this love surrounding us goes with each one of us as a mass of lights together.

Sisyphus, most of your post is rather 'uplifting',
but i take exception to this bit:

i do not believe that this is true.
God is the author of Life; there is no author of death.

I refer to the human body. It is inevitable that the human body will cease. No matter how much the human race tries to disassociate with this reality, the act of the human body ceasing to exist will always be the order of things.

I AM BODY.
I AM LIFE.
I AM not required to follow some set of rules which were designed to disempower me.
no matter how much the human race tries to dissociate with this reality, truth is true and death holds no power over life.
