Thread 41325538

For most of my life I have had severe death anxiety, particularly about the afterlife, but also about the dying process itself. A big part of the reason why is not knowing which religion to follow and imagining confusion in my time of death. Any advice for making this a bit more bearable?

Synthesize and smoke DMT. ;)

YOU NEED TO *BREAK THROUGH*

I kicked the bucket a few years ago and managed to come back from it some hours later. I still have fairly vivid recollection of being "on the other side" and it's pretty much the same thing as being in a somewhat vivid dream.
This one is hard to put into words, but you won't feel the passing of time. 10 seconds, 10 hours, they feel like the same thing. It also felt extremely easy to just exist. I didn't think about it at the time, but I didn't need to breathe or exert myself in any way, and I felt remarkably at ease. I know I was dead because I was disconnected from my body, on another floor of the hospital entirely, and even got corroboration for stuff I saw while I was out of commission.

The gist is that when you die, you are still you, and it's not all that different from being alive.

Thank you for sharing. Although, I don't necessarily want to still be me. Ideally, I want to transcend this experience altogether. I've tried lucid dreaming but I can't seem to control when it happens. That's why faith is important to me at the end of the day.
