Hi Wim
Your point on death, rather relevant to me now, since my exwife and
old friend, is in the hospice,.. cancer spread to brain.
She is still clear enough. Not afraid of dying but of the pain prior
to that. Also the pain of letting go of the loved ones.
One of my friends says, that it is a natural thing, like leaves
falling off.. etc, and that if it would happen to him, he would not
regard it as something terribly special.
I detected thoug a rather conceptual/Idealistic attitude behind his
statement.
There is a tendency to easily indulge in philosophising about the
things of life, even death..
But when it Actually knocks at one's door, I doubt one can take it as
cooly as my friend... regardless of one's convictions, beliefs
spiritual-'knowledge'..
Though You are perhaps in another position than most of us, having
experienced NDE's.
There might not be 'death' but the Fact is that the physical form is
Paralysed forever and turned to ashes.. and Not Here any longer to
talk, play..
That's a Fact.
The Vedantins may coolly repeat the mantra, 'all is illusion',.. but
when his wife jumps in bed with another,.. hell is loose...
And the Fact of the Fear/pain of the dying one or his/her friends, is
Not really 'helped' with Stories of the Beyond .. comfort is not real
help..
So perhaps the thing one should give attention to and enquire into is
Fear, the pain of loss etc., and not ..is there an after-life or not
or feeling good about what they say and how 'great' it's gonna be.
If we learn how to live, we must also know what dying is.. and it
might not be any different.
