not fear death

How I did it: Basically, I struggled with severe untreated depression for 5 years. I was always in conflict with myself and miserable. I self destructed with drug use, excessive drinking.... all around careless behavior. Death was constantely on my mind. The fear of the unknown seemed exciting to me. It took a good 5 months, but I realized that no matter what happens after death - regardless of my belief system, I will be taken care of, unconscious of the fact it even happened and that I am not more important than the trillions of other souls that have come before me. I did the unspeakable, and attempted suicide via a drug overdose and was revived in the ER. I had an insane NDE (near death experience) that changed my views of life, gave me purpose, and gives me absolute peace with the terms of death or dying.

Lessons & tips: You simply can not fear the unknown. How is is possible to fear something of which you have no knowledge? I know there is something more. The best is always saved for last for a reason. Death & life are marriage partners, and it's your ego that fears dying, for the sake of not being around. You have to ignore your ego and accept it.

Resources: Myself... drugs. I guess. I mean, I don't know. Just coming to terms with the fact it's the process of life, it has to happen. Make the moments here count and you won't fear the unknown.
