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.

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.
