What does death feel like?

[phaseshiftR1111]

Here's an interesting article I found.

I don't know the source from this information etc... but I also read on a lot of NDE's. They all say that no matter how brutal the pain was it was always blocked out by the changes your body makes to compensate for it.

I forgot where I read it but there was this biker who suddenly went into cardiac arrest and he before he even knew he died he was already on the other side. Kind of interesting how our bodies compensate!

Dunno... ask the Dali Lama? He has a lot of experience in that arena.

Stillwater has he really? I didn't know that. I love his quotes.

[Stillwater]

Well... from what he has written it is mostly people he remembers; several of his last incarnations have carried memories of his past life's friends. The current iteration (Tenzin Gyatso) de-emphasizes these, but some of his predecessors spoke about times when he was various animals, lol... such as a frog.

The current Dali Lama expresses his general views on death here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yLdUE1VTl4

More or less he says that there is no use worrying, because if there is something we can do about it, there is no need to worry, and that if there is nothing we can do about it, there is no use worrying.

I have heard this same logic expressed by an Englishman... in the form, "When death is, we are not. When we are, death is not". It seems simplistic, but I think highly effective too.

You die each night you fall asleep and dream... and each morning you wake up from the dream.
It's only a shift of perception.

Xanth that's the way I look at it. Just as a consciousness shift.

I agree.

We are omnipresent and eternal consciousness-light being/ creative intelligence.
All experiences are experienced in the present.
The idea of re-death, like re-birth is a shift of perception.
Our nightly sojourns exploring various reality constructs and paradigms are
escapades into the labyrinth of our I-magination.
