I think that is all good information. I am old and have had a number of near death experiences in my life so far. Some I was calm for, and some of the times were not calm at all. In none of them did I have any visions of the afterlife or anything near to that. All of those times of limbo were black and nothing.
I do not do any "death preparation" at the time I fall asleep, but I do Thank God every time I wake up for the chance to live another day.
I lost my fear of death long ago. I think it will just be another phase of time/space for my consciousness.
Thanks for sharing your take on this, wow I wonder if your near death experiences are what helped you loose your fear of death. I also do not do the death preparation exercise, mainly because I am not consciously aware of the falling to sleep process. Like you I thank God for each precious day and try to wisely make use of my time. I hope that wherever we are going after life, we can play and enjoy music and retain the love for those we are closest to.🙏
Yes, the near death experiences were the direct cause of losing fear of it. I woke up a number of time to people telling me I was almost dead, or should have been dead, or they thought I was dead. So one time I just decided to stop fearing in and fitinfun instead, and hence, my name.
This was when I was 26 and I am 59 now, so I am glad I made that choice.
Interesting you think of music. I think of silence to be the sound I want. I wonder if we will both get our wish.
I just think of all the enjoyment I get playing music and the countless hours spent learning to play. Am still adding new instruments 2 in the last year in fact so would hope these skills are somehow carried across, or maybe we will all have here skills without the cumbersome human physicality!peace & love to you
