For many years, I used to be afraid of death and afraid of people around me dying. That was before I started reading spiritual books. Now I have realised that there isn't really anything to be afraid of even if I still don't understand it yet. The only thing I fear now is the pain I may have to endure before I die whenever that will be.

How do you feel?
What are the 1st 3 words that describe your feeling.
Write them down - I'll be back.

"I'm all alone" then nothing, too terrified of total isolation to think anything else, just fear. (I don't like white boxes, the color makes me nervous. too long in doctors offices and psychologists' offices I guess)

Well, I might as well say because it looks like that's it for participants that how we ''feel'' in this white room is how we are supposed to feel about our death.

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.

wouldn't bother me so much if it was something where I wasn't totally alone, or at least a different color. White is all consuming, and as stated above, I have an unnerving history with it.

I am not scared of the afterlife, rather of the actual process of dying.
Peace

Im not really scared of the afterlife either but feel if one feels their life was lived in the dark instead of the light then there is reason for fear. As for the white room, i also have a fear of being alone but i understand thats because i havent fully accepted that im never really alone.

No, I am not. I have been there so many times and back again that it's just natural to me.

Ya know, I don't know if this helps, but it helped me many years ago when I finally "got" it.
That is to understand that what's going to happen or what has happened -
"just is "...and our worrying or fearing something doesn't do a darned thing to the situation EXCEPT make it worse.
Please, don't be scared of dying. If it is terrible and painful - oh well...fearing it for years won't change it, you know.
And if it is fast and sweet ---what alot of time just wasted...it's just dumb.
I finally "got it".
I "got" that worry and fear are like a rocking chair ---it's a lot of effort , but
it doesn't get you anywhere.

It took me a long time.

Well, that's my story and I'm stickin' with it!

I couldn't agree more! I wish I could channel the light better so I could just send it to whoever needed it most at this particular moment. But I'm told and I believe that by working on yourself you are the most help to others
