Of death no.
Of dying a HORRID painful death... Mmm. Maybe. LOL. But heck actually I think it's healthy to be a little afraid of death. But just a little...
I believe when we die here on Earth, it is just the death of our body. Of course the lives we were living do end . So live a good life full of love .
Our spirit , who we are , then moves on to exist in a higher frequency. Maybe we turn into (or back into) a little shiny light.
At some point i believe we go over our lives , and make plans with other spirits that we know , who will be involved in our NEXT life. Maybe we wait for other people to die so that we can reincarnate with them again.
I believe we plan our lives , what we want to learn, who we will learn with.... all that , before we get here.
I also believe some of us have stayed here in spirit form to help others and maybe fulfill soul contracts , by being a sort of spirit guide to someone. Or maybe people do this to pass the time while waiting for circumstances in their next life to be just right.
Something you may be interested in is a past life regression or a life between lives hypnotherapy session. I haven't had mine yet , but I did do , like an introductory session where I was "hypnotized" I guess , and the lady asked my higher self to bring me back to a memory where I showed myself a clue to my purpose here on Earth. (I told her I was interested in that)
It was pretty neat. Not like I thought it would be , being "hypnotized" and all , but I am going to go back for a full session.
I am especially interested in a life between lives session. Where you remember (through hypnosis) what the heck happened after you died in a past life and before you came back to live on Earth!!
Worth checking out , has many benefits , and should definitely offer you a more comfortable way of looking at everything .
If you believe in hypnosis of course.
Even if you don't believe in past lives , a past life regression will work.
