Consider Death Now - Alan Watts
How do you let go of fear? how far have you gone with it?
Please feel free to share with others your own philosophy and "ways" to overcome death.
For Example,
My method is to "drift off" in meditation, completely submerging into the void.
I've been interested in death since I was a kid, both scientifically and spiritually, but it's not that strange because I saw my mother die when I was 11, she had a heart attack at home.
I have encountered death many times in my life (in my family-as everyone), and because I have worked in hospitals in various positions.
(Here I must note how the modern society is alieanetad from the process of death, we have completely cut ourselves off from natural wisdom about born and death, which is our innate heritage here.)
But I also have a very personal experience with "him".
I often dream with a "group", 4-5 people, in my dreams we always here for a mission, stucked in time.
Last December I had a very vivid dream with them. They invited me to a house, full with sunshine and showed me a a box, inside my contract for this life experience. The box was sealed. And they told me, this is my last life on the Earth, I will die soon, we've done our job here. And now we're going home.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and I was in shock, the dream was so real just like this moment.
Talking about something or getting close to it is completely different thing. I've said a lot of "wise" things about this in my life, but when I have to face it... The least I can do is become humble and check/explore myself, my feelings, beliefs...
(And one more thing, back to my Mom's death. The doctor successfully brought her back after a few minutes of "death." My father an his father were there too... and my Mom had a really bad relationship with her father in law...
But guess what happened. When she opened her eyes, she looked around and looked at her father-in-law,grabbed his hand... And in her very last words apologized to him for their bad relationship. And than she died.
The power of the forgiveness.)
