I don’t know if people ever really stop fearing those things. There are so many different views across the world about what happens when we die. The truth is, I don’t think anyone can know for sure because we don’t have once-dead people walking around to recount the experience.
No matter what happens you use the time you’ve got to live and have a good time. No point thinking about stuff if it prevents you from living and interacting with the universe. That is my thoughts on the matter.
Edit: Slothy, it’s weird that you have new delusions every week. I’ve had the same ones for over 30 years. Everyone else I know also has fixed delusions.
I can’t say I know for sure, but I’ve started to believe in fate and destiny. I know I know nothing, but the phenomena of deja vu makes me think that consciousness is playing itself out in a particular way for some particular reason. I know that this body is just a vessel and an extension of the infinite consciousness within, so death doesn’t bother me too much. I wouldn’t worry about it too much, though. Live a full life with no regrets and you win either way…
