    Sort of depends on the method. There are forms of dying that I have probably not fully mentally prepared myself for, such as being eaten by rats.

    But if you just mean that actual point where you die, if I'm ready for that, then I suppose so.

    I think a more important question is "Are you ready to live?" :)

    Sometimes I believe consciousness is a curse. The worst thing nature ever developed.
    Millions of years of suffering multiplied by billions of creatures.

    Someday it will all end and we will be one, erased within the sun.

    -
    Die Sonne scheint mir aus den Händen
    Kann verbrennen kann euch blenden
    Wenn sie aus den Fäusten bricht
    Legt sich heiss auf das Gesicht
    Sie wird heut nacht nicht untergehen
    Und die Welt zählt laut bis zehn

    Eins
    Hier kommt die Sonne
    Zwei
    Hier kommt die Sonne
    Drei
    Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
    Vier
    Hier kommt die Sonne
    Fünf
    Hier kommt die Sonne
    Sechs
    Hier kommt die Sonne
    Sieben
    Sie ist der hellste Stern von allen
    Acht, neun
    Hier kommt die Sonne

    -Sonne, Rammstein

    No, I get death terrors. I find the thought of possible eternal nonexistance terribly frightening. Since I was eight I would panic at the thought.

    We are part of everything and death is just the next step into the unkown.. no one knows what lay beyond.. no one has come back to tell us. We only have our hope to cling to, hope that there is an afterlife, that there is an extention to Spirit.

    To Fear what is unkown, or not yet happened is a waste of time and energy and traps you in a vacume, cuts you off from the Positive flow of energy and opens a channel for negitive forces/vibes to enter.

    If you were to simply cease, you would not know it, so what what would be the point to fear it. If it's pain you fear, that is life not death.

    If the Bible is correct, our light will just go out, we will not think, nor feel, we will just cease to physically be. After that, who knows. Tis said that Jesus will come and lift us up from our 'sleep' and gives us new bodies. Some other theroies are, our Spirits will contenue on another level of consciouness. Some others say we will return as animals, then there are the ones that think that we come back to earth to live down their karma. There are many facets in beliefs.

    I have imagained I crossed the Threshold of the Universe. I have traveld in the physical to different planes of existance, where I was physically there and had sensation, sight, smell and hearing. DMT induced perhaps, but there none the less. I was not anywhere else, I was embodied in myself. I knew I was in a different place/demention.

    I have also followed the White Light, soaring through the Universe at a frequincy so high it pulled me to it like nothing I had remembered. I never reached The Light, my brethern called me back to the Session, I heard them calling me from a distance, asking me to 'come back', so I must have 'gone' somewhere to be called back from. Perhaps from the brink of insanity or? Am I afraid of it, no. I just try to make the best out of what there is in The Now, and cross that other bridge when I reach it.

    Bright Blessings on your journey

    It is not that I am ready or not for death, but is death ready for I?

    That kind of reminds me of a personal fantasy of mine. If I'm wrong and there actually is a God, he better have his peeps ready to hold me the fuck off his sick twisted ass. That bastards got some serious explaining to do. God will be my personal bitch if I ever get near him.

    Well "death" is a concept of man. Our bodies are simply an assortment of elements and compounds that constitute a perpetual chemical reaction that priduces and releases energy , and the basic laws of physics state that energy can never be destroyed , only change form.

    I can't say i believe in the Bible or the Qu'ran or the Torah or any religious text (or religion) since they are all man made spinoffs of ancient African folklore. And by ancient I mean centuries before the Sumarians and Egyptians. And that African folklore was simply a way to help explain phenomena that coultn't be explained.

    So , in my most humble opinion , living based on religious texts that were fabricated by another man is pretty irrational. Governing yourself by rules that a man , no different thatn you or I , wrote thousands of years ago is a waste of your human experience. I never will understand why people try to back up information because "the Bible said this" and "the Qu'ran said that". But that's only my opinion.

    I'm ready to "die" I guess. I just don't want my exit to be drowning or a plane crash or anything else that involves falling.

    Each of us is ready to die (and live) in any moment given - as we choose to be here, and grow in consciousness through all these lessons of living and of dying and it's just like they all blend and interweave.

    The temporary self, on the other hand, is time bound by nature and so ... being ready (or not) is more about the temporary self and the ego who never may feel ready to give itself up. And this is all good, too.

    But death is a wonderful teacher ... the closest, most intimate teacher ever and ever ready to walk with us even though we may not feel so.

    It's like when we pass the P.O.E - port of entry - of physical death, we jump off the tracks of time into the timeless beyond. Yet this is right now - in this very now where you sit in front of your computer screen reading these letters. And each and every moment time holds the mystery of Being, and eternity is not somewhere else.

    Just where are you ?
