Why would you fear death?

@dalpat077 I get what you're saying. My friend was clinically dead as in he had to be revived with those electric paddles because his heart stopped for like ten minutes

I agree with the idea that being dead for lesser amounts of time could be classified differently from say being dead for several days. I still see it as being dead but indeed we don't know unless we've been there ourselves, so it might be hard to do that

Cheers
I have been clinically dead too. It feels like nothing.
 
I fear death due to the unknown as all. I suspect I am fucked for everything I have done. I will come back as an ant, or burn in hell. My fear of death!

Trying to redeem myself these days.
 
I would like to say I don't fear death I've had a few close calls and I'm finally doing ok in life it would be a bummer to die, I'm obssed with death but when someone close to me dies it fucking hurts

If you are in Valhalla, then you have died, no? You must die in battle with sword in hand. Crazy how these guys lived such a merciless life, but were so concerned with a proper death (to enter Valhalla).
 
Dead would fuck with my plans but if God told me its time to go and asked me to come, I would come.

It does turns the page to another chapter of the neverending story that is me.
 
some days I can't wait to die, I think about it every day and this is b4 the virus, I have 2 dead ex girlfriends, a few friends 2 family members this year of OD, I'm fucking obsessed, I don't beleve in marriage but I think it would be romantic to get married in a graveyard, I always feel at peace in graveyards, as my man HST says " no sympathy for the devil...
 
I feel like I'm dead in the sense that I don't follow obscure thoughts anymore. Things just happen or I make them happen automatically, as if somebody is controlling my entire existence. It's like I don't know anything but I know everything at the same time

I guess some people call that wisdom but I think it's something deeper and I don't mind it at all. I bet being dead is similar. You don't need to know anything anymore. Otherwise, everything is the same
 
I came so close to dying via barbiturate O/D on the 28th June, but ended up flushing that shit down the toilet later on. In the end, nobody controls my existence more than I do, even though it sometimes appears to be that way, it isn't. Once I am gone, nobody controls my existence, either, they just remember it.

I see death as the great emancipation, and also the great equaliser. It won't matter how much money you had or how famous you were, or where you came from, death makes us all equal. More equal than anything else. It also makes us more free than anything else. So a fear of death could really be seen as irrational, but I guess that's human nature - humans are by and large mostly irrational beings. Sometimes that includes myself, other times not.
 
I think fearing death is normal. Why would you NOT fear death? Literally we are biologically hardwired to SURVIVE. In fact, if someone doesn't fear death - I'd almost wonder if something isn't quite wired right?

I never understand people who so proudly proclaim, "I'm not afraid of dying!" Like, why is that something to be proud of? I feel like many people say that to appear strong. As if they've somehow overcome death. None of us overcome death - we all die. How you feel about it is irrelevant.

Now, if the fear of death becomes an anxiety, something you dwell on or focus on - that IS something that should be worked on, something that can be overcome. No one should let the fear of death prevent them from doing whatever it is that is in their best interest.

But to fear death - to me - seems natural.
 
I have had this thought for nearly over a decade now..:

If a man does not fear death, he will achieve immortality..

Is it just the fear of death that makes us age and die?
 
I have had strong déjà vu all my life, I'm afraid I'm stuck in a never-ending loop of being me, the whole universe is in a loop, my god, I don't want to be me again after I die. :confused:
Luckily déjà vu has been found to be neurological. I've gotten it consistently from certain chemicals
 
What do the Aghori say upon this?.....Oh yeah now I remember ;)
Never heard of them, what do they say?

I agree it's neurological but also spiritual in a symbiotic relationship. My experiences with psychedelics are telling me something more about déjà vu I'm wary of.
 
Is it being dead you’re referring to, or the act of dying? It’s how I’m going to die that I don’t like to think about. I don’t want it to be some long, drawn out affair. But actually ceasing to exist? I don’t find that scary.
 
I don't really. I've been there done that. I dunno why but I'd fear a long protracted painful death but what's gonna happen is gonna happen.

I just re-read the beginning of this thread and saw your post. RIP, I love you brother. Gave me chills reading your post about not fearing death. I'm quite sure you didn't when it came. Miss you man. ♥
 
Never heard of them, what do they say?

Many things, if you are really interested in it go look yourself.
I'm not here to guide anyone else through their path, I can suggest a way but I simply CAN'T take your hand & guide you as that is stupid.

The seed has been planted, now it's upto you if it grows into a tree or not.

I suggest if you listen to podcasts to search "Aghori" & look for "A Place For Humans w/ Dakota Wint" where he has a 90 minute interview with a member of the sect who was born in England but got fed up with the way things are & went to India & became one of them (Aghori)

And YES they do the things they are "famous" for but it takes quite a twist in logic of the Western mind to understand WHY they do the things they are famous for & to me it makes perfect logic (insert most of BL now thinking I'm sick & want to eat their dead nans face)
 
I seen a interview with drew Barrymore she said her grandfathers friends took the grindfarthers corpse to have 1 last drink with him, she was ok with it, I want some one to do that with my corpse, I'll be cremated, but would be cool AF
 
Well if life is good, death is scary, if life sucks your more likely to welcome it
