Some things I've read about with dying and the afterlife

Hi!

I realize I speak about this topic a a lot don't I? Mainly because to me it's just as important as being born.

But here's the thing, were we afraid of being born? If not, then why are we afraid of dying?

When I think about death, I think about pain. I hate pain to be truthfully honest. But here's the thing, pain into so bad. I think it depends on the level of pain. For instance, when I was hit by that car years ago, there was no pain when the car actually hit me. I think this is because our body's adrenaline kicks in. Anyways, I didn't feel any pain until after I left the hospital. I was lucky because I had no injuries. However, I do look at that incident as a good experience and not a bad one.

Anyways, when I do hurt myself to a point where I have to stop and say "ouch!" the pain is there for a few seconds and subsides. Now I'm quite cautious and well aware of my movements, however sometimes I'm not and I would end up stubbing my toe or something. It's never nothing insanely bad.

But I realize that when I do stub my toe, I would focus on the pain or focus on just continue going and the pain would go away very quickly. Lately I try to do this instead of taking painkillers. It makes me feel more in touch with my body.

Anyways, about what I read about the afterlife. Now speaking from experience I do believe we are not our bodies. When that incident occurred I do remember for a split second leaving my body and returning to it almost instantly. So I wouldn't consider my incident to be a NDE.

So I will explain that yes I could see. It was just like looking through my normal eyes. It happened very very quickly,  but I do remember seeing my body. But my awareness my mind was with me the whole time. So after that incident all thoughts about possibly rotting in the ground disappeared.Sometimes I do wish I would have saw the tunnel and got to speak with other beings that are always near, but I doubt it would be allowed for me because I wouldn't have wanted to come back. I mean that day I had school lol so I definitely would rather have wanted to stay lol

But I have read that the soul leaves the body before the body actually dies. I have read past life hypnosis stories where the person in the trance would mention the fear of dying, but the pain would last for a few seconds and then they would feel relaxed and leaved their body.

So I'm guessing since my incident happened so quickly I didn't feel anything. Also, I can see how certain people or should I say souls, would stay here wondering what happened because their death was very quick.

As for the souls who suffer with a slow and painful death, I feel for them. But I know that once it's over they won't feel pain. I do really feel for souls who suffer pain very slowly. That's one part I don't understand *shrugs*

I also read that we plan the day we come into this world and when and how we leave this world. We sit with our guides, tell them what we wish to accomplish. I also read that when we die we go to this room to review the life we just left. :/ To me it sounds like a lot of work being a soul than it does being a human lol As a human I feel very lazy and I feel like I don't do enough. But I think with having emotions and makes life seem difficult.

So what really made me understand that we are not our body is my own experience. If we were our bodies, I would have been in my body throughout the whole experience. I was confused yes, but when I was out of it, I wasn't scared. Hm....even after the accident I wasn't scared. Just in shock. Afterwards I was laughing and telling my mom how it felt like I was on a roller-coaster.

One thing I wish I could do is help people through that pain. I think I wrote once about something like this, but certain words that exist in English don't exist in other languages. For example, there is no word for flirting in Japan. So the people there have no true concept or what's considered flirting like we would in the West. Or there is no word for pain in...hm...I forgot what country it was. But a lady gave birth on her on. And the man who was American was very surprised and asked a villager and the villager asked him why would childbirth be painful?

It's kind of like how in English, we don't have a true understanding of what 「よろしくお願いします」<--"yoroshiku onegaishimasu" but in Japan it has a huge meaning that I couldn't really begin to truly understand.

Oh! And also, like Socrates once said, something like "why would I fear what I don't know?" as he was walking to his death (death by drinking poison).

In the end, we die. Why it's scary to some and not to other, I think it's our idea of what it's like to die. Before my accident, I never ever thought about car accidents. I wasn't afraid of cars. I never believed I would be a person to be in an accident like that.

But strange enough I do wonder how I will die. >__> Something keeps telling me I have more time here than I think I do, and to stop worrying. But I am cautious. I look around. And yes I still get nervous while in cars. But it's because when I drive with my sister and mom they have serious road rage and it makes me nervous.

But I'm not afraid to cross the street etc.

So in the end, maybe it's the thought of how one might die that make people nervous. Because death seems to be out of our control.

For the most part I have heard from Monk's in China that we are moving into a new age, just like we have in the past. And that it's a stage of renewal. As for the incidents that have been happening on earth, I read that the earth is going through a cleansing. The Earth is living as well, and just like us it knows what it has to do in order to get better. I have also read that there will be changes in the earths continents. That new mountains will rise etc. But I believe it won't happen in just one day O__o that would be surreal. I think that will take years.

As for asteroids, earth has been hit by them in the past. But I think the moon takes much more of a beating than Earth. I was also telling my sister about how even through the Ice Age and the asteroids, humans are still on Earth and have been on Earth for so many years. Obviously they didn't all just die out. the same for dinosaurs. Yes, the ones we have seen in museums are not around, but lizards exist and they are like cold blooded mammals like the dinosaurs.

We, as humans, fear to much. I think we really fear the unknown. But technology was unknown to us years ago, and it exist now and we aren't afraid of it. Is it only not feared if we think it's good for us? And feared if we thought it was good for us, but it's not so good and it bad??

Wow, it's 6 a.m. I have to get to bed now.

Good night.

Also, I'm not saying that fear will disappear completely. No that's naturally in the brain. It's a signal. But I think sometimes we let our fears stop us from living. I can understand that traumatic things may have happened in your life, but do understand that you can go on fearing for so long, but eventually you'll have to let that fear go in order to move on and continue your mission.
