I do not like the idea of wondering around aimlessly forever when you die. I do not know if that happens but I do not know. There has to be a purpose in what you are doing. The thought of wondering around not know what you are supposed to do scares me.

From what I have read and understood from the myriad channelled books I have read on the subject there is no 'wandering around' when you reach spirit (unless that's what you want to do of course!) but souls who were your guardian angels when you were incarnate will help you find a spiritual purpose, will guide you to a place of light where you can assess your spiritual progress and address issues and how to resolve them.

I certainly don't fear 'death' as it is but a shedding of a skin as we emerge, like a butterfly, into our true state. Pain, on the way there? Well if that has to be experienced it must be something we accrued via our karmic record, and was agreed to before our current lifetime. Not just MHO but my understanding from much research done. My understanding, also, is that a soul's passing can be made much easier with prayers from loved ones, from this side of the veil and the other.

And if things were that I way wouldn't like the idea of wandering around either.

I DO know and it doesn't happen as you think.

There IS a purpose. I hope you'll now feel a little less concerned. You have over 3000 postings showing in your profile. What have you been writing about on a spiritually based website?

Thank you Happy Wanderer and bobjob. The reason I think wondering around the universe happens when you die is because when I ap I am wondering around aimlessly. I hope you are right. One thing I know is I cannot worry about it because it will not do any good. I have to put it out of my mind.

There's an important aspect to keep in mind.

When you project into the Astral level you're not experiencing how things will be after your body dies and your spirit is free. While you're alive here your spirit is still tethered to its body by the so-called silver cord. Put simply, the situation when astral traveling is very different from that after corporeal death.

It's also a common misunderstanding in people who experience NDEs or OoBEs. Often they believe they have experienced how life is in the so-called summerland.

That is a beautiful post, a fab message of fearlessness, soul-wisdom and Love.

Love truly is All. :)

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.
