Because of heavy fear of death, the mind tends to get highly unconscious in the final moments and consequently one misses a very beautiful experience, as per the yogic tradition.

The challenge is to remain conscious at the time of death, and one can enjoy new dimensions and experiences that comes with disembodiment.

However a long period of spiritual practice is necessary to ensure that one overcomes the gravity pull of fear and terror and remain aware and conscious at the time of death.

Everything has its price.
