Death doesn't scare me anymore

[Astrolopology]

You know, when I was a little kid. I would wake up in the middle of the night in fear of what will inevitably happen to all of us and everyone we know. But today, I stand tall with my opinion that I think death is actually a reawakening. let me know if you agree and if you think that it could also be a reawakening

I am always heartened when folk come to realise that death of the body doesn't mean death of the individual. That awakening also comes to others and for each one it can be an epiphany.

There's abundant evidence about what happens after death so if you want to learn more, want to go beyond simple acceptance of our survival, then you might want to research that evidence. If so you will be in the company of those who have already followed that path.

Please dont be afraid of death..... Because that is when you are born .......

Really? I respect that, of course.

Me? I've seen plenty here - been distracted enough - learned how not to be - learned what's important. So, I'm ready...
(And if I'm supposed to come back ---that's fine ---it's all perfect!)

I have some things I want to place in the dumpster I share with a neighbor, tho ---
so there's not too much to deal with for those left here.
Luckily I have many millionaire friends it'll cost them a few measly dollars to have what we
call a 'Rollaway' big dumpster to throw stuff in ...and then
give the books, clothes, TV's and kitchen stuff to Thrift Stores.

Body's going to a Science place, friend's know info is on my Fridge - and contacts.
So that's free, and a free pick up within the hour!
If someone messes up somehow and I'm mangled in a crash ---then $495 for the cremation.
All easy peasy. No family to involve ----well one cousin who is also a multi-millionaire, ha!

I'm getting ready, obviously from my signature; there for 10 years!

We were with Genesis for body disposal but then I found they don't operate in the south west so it will be the local agent's furnace if we kick our clogs out in the big US. Travel insurance will cover that and folk can fight over our possessions when we've gone. Back home our wills take care of the disposal of our bodies and our estate. Ain't planning on goin' yit anyway and we'll SKI our way there.....

i want to die in my sleep
that would be nice way to go
with no pain or problems

like the death we many times give our pets we love
wish we could just go to doctor...say it's time i'm ready

Death doesn't scare me anymore..............

Nor me in fact, having lost the fear of death, its given me a new lease of life. I am able to take chances I'd never have dreamed about in the past.

This is a nice topic.
I wish to say my opinion about that.
Usually, when I share my mind about death, people who don't know me think I am useless person, while people who know me don't think I am telling the truth, they think I am being cynical and provocateur.
Few former words: I am an extroverted introvert person, somebody who loves to be alone but enjoy people company. I have few really good friends and I avoid useless acquaintances.
Whatever happens after-life, either reincarnation or heaven, I do not care. My belief is more for a soul reincarnation in another form, however I still do not care. My consciousness, namely my thinking mind grown with my personal life experiences and memories, my either conscious or unconscious spiritual being, my awareness, and so on, will be over at the time of death. What happens to my soul after-life is not a matter I should concern about: I am not aware about my soul now and I will be not aware once I am dead and then reincarnated. As I am not aware about the consciousness of previous lives of my soul, I won't be aware for the next one, therefore for my point of view my own consciousness will be turned off at the moment of my death like a bulb with a switch off.
Years ago, I did some professional field researches with hypnotherapist and psychologies about previous lives' memories recalls, and the team didn't find any consistency with the outcome from volunteers (most of them believe in soul's reincarnation). I respect anybody who believes in that, I just report that research result.
I am almost 46 y/o, if I died tomorrow, that would be fine to me.
Since I was early 20s, I believed that life is when we are young: better brain activity, more desire to explore, more physical energy, more curiosity.
I didn't accept the idea to work hard all life in order to prepare a good retirement. I though retirement age is the remanence of life. I decided to enjoy the present and I have done that so far. I am sorry if I am hurting older reader who don't share my mind.
I did a lot in my life for my point of view, I am satisfy with that, and if I die tomorrow, that's ok.

I believe the fear of death is partially due to having spent a life not at its fullest potential.
Another fear of death is due to the unknown. All the religions have strongly played on that fear providing hopes for the after-life.
I do miss my loved people who passed away and I am sure there will be some people who will miss me when I pass away.
Death is a part of life. Grief is a part of life too.
The pain and the grief caused by loved ones' death is a part of life... surely it is tough, but that is the beauty of life: strong emotions, passions, loves that start and others that finish. Life is perfect as it is.
I miss a lot my mom who passed away at 67 years ago because of cancer. After so many years I still dream her, I still miss her.... but I wouldn't want her back: she had her life path, missing her belongs to my life path and it reminds my love for her.
Accepting death as the end, it helps to live life better: you do not wait for the after-life, you do not expect anything, you do not postpone things for later, you enjoy here and now, because later the bulb goes off and nothing happen that you are aware of.
I am sure that majority of people don't agree with me, but believe me, accepting death as the really end of personal consciousness, it helps to be more serene, to cope and face negative and positive events of life, and to live the life at its fullest.
Please accept my deepest apologies to those readers that feel hurt by this post.
