I Don't Fear Death

Not Afraid of Death Anymore...
I used to be very afraid of dying. I had experienced a near death experience when I had my car accident in 2004. But, that did not cure me of my fear of death. In fact, was even more afraid of dying than ever before!
I was studing one day. While reading this new authors' book, (I had never heard of her before though it seems she is a great author and psychic) I found a truth about life I never heard before except between the midnight talks me and my oldest sister used to have long ago. I saw her book in my book club selections and something told me to get this book. I did and I have never been sorry about this purchase.
I learned in the last few chapters of this book why one should not be afraid of death. But for me it was this sentence that said "the Creator has always loved me, loves me, and will continue to love me throughout eternity."
For me something in that statement set me free. I realized quite by surprise at first that I was crying quite profusively. I also read that what I had always believed but could not prove until that moment ... that Heaven was just Home. We all go back Home. Unless we decide not to and choose another path. This why I no longer fear death.
I believe we chose our path of spiritual enlightenment before we enter Earth. [b]I believe the lives we have we chose [/b]in order to teach us the strengths we need journey higher on the Path. The downside is that some of us get caught up in this material plane of need and desire and forget our true purpose. My main reason for believing this is that we can take a feeling of accomplishment/satisfaction/happiness/wonder or failure/defeat/fear/regret with us when we die - but nothing else.
Not one Jaguar, kingsize bed, pet, child, wife, husband, friend, foe, mountain we climbed, or 90 inch TV we were finally able to afford will make that journey with us. So my fear of death has just turned into finding out what I can do to spread more Truth, Faith and Love on this Earth. And, to help everyone I come into contact with realize their much needed self worth. Why they need to value themselves and why they are so improtant to the Earth, me, and us. That is the nicest job anyone can have.
Peace Light and Love to You.

that was beautifuly put living well. i too think of death as going home. i'll tell you somehing. my grandmother did a 97. when she was 96 she began to talk much more about her father. he grew tobacco in puerto rico. anytime she saw a man on tv earing a white linen suit, panama hat riding a horse; she'd turn to me & tell me those were memories he had about her father.

when she was moribund one day she sat up in bed completely lucid and said "amparito, amparito i haven't seen you in so long." that's because we never told her that her older sister had expired. amparo was her favorite sister. not long after that she told me her father came to her and said he was taking her somewhere. after a few days she passed. since i am a woman of faith i do believe in heaven and the life in the world to come

my only problem is confession. i have to tell the truth and what am i going to say? bless me father for i have sinned. it's been 30 years since my last confession. how embarassing. i'd rather be cremated on the spot.

Wow - I have never really read my beliefs stated so well - I too believe that we chose our path - both before we are born and after we die...in this way we control how we move along the path...this belief has helped me realise that we are all on the same path - we may be on different parts of the path but we are all going in the same direction. It has also taught me that we cannot judge the journey of others - the life that they are living is the exact right one for their soul at that time...even if it appears to be a dull existance. Facing your fear of death is liberating - you realise that all you have is yourself - you examine who you are without all the props that people usually use and you learn to appreciate every moment.

Yes I understand, I said to a church friend that I was not afraid to die and she said, she wasn't afraid to die but what worried her was the quality of life that she would have till she did die. And I thought that this is true, you wouldn't want to linger in misery till you did die. Thank you for your message, I also love the lord and am pleased to see a story such as yours.

I have no fear of death since I've been there, its beautiful.....I had to come back because my son had not been born and I was to be his mother I was told.

I look forward to it being my time to GO HOME and feel of that all encompassing LOVE again.

Thank you for sharing, you put it all to welll and I recognise / remember all you said
Thank You.
but I do not believe death is our home, not at all. Heaven is our home. It is where we were first born into reality from the thought of the universe/Creator. Heaven is our home.
You are so correct about not judging. For we know not what anothers journey is about. Hugs, LW
Thanks, you guys! It is still nice to know that others understand this concept about life and death.

Thank you for letting me know about how you understand this.

Peace Light and Much Love to You Both.
