Fear of death is a very good thing. Those who pretend to not fear death, fear it the most.

I respectfully disagree with you.

I have died many times, 57 on earth in fact, as we all have 'died'.

In my most immediate past life, my death was tragic, a young soldier in Vietnam, scared, upset at being drafted, and my life ended in a flash. It felt like a sudden surprise. As my spirit lifted out of my body I saw my best friend in Vietnam dead next to me, and I sobbed. As my unit continued to fight, I did not hesitate to leave the scene and I was tugged up over the jungle canopy, lifted into the stars. I could sense a light envelope me, and my battered soul and drained energy was greeted by my guide in the brightest light I could ever imagine. I personally did not see a tunnel, but a grayish white energy 'capture me'. It was surreal.

(BTW I have gone back and validated my past lives, and I have described things in my past that I have never, ever been aware of in this lifetime)

I have died and I will die again. I do not fear death because I have been there, and trust me, it is not to be feared. It is to be welcomed.
