Why I am not afraid of dying

I want to tell you about a dream or a memory I had, when I was in my bed, last night.

I was in a spaceship, like a normal spaceship, like you see in the movies, or something like that. And I got there through traveling with an organic companion. Who kept me alive and we traveled together.

But then we were caught by this astronaut guy, and he was keeping us prisoner. And I realized that he wanted to study us, that he wanted to take everything apart or he wanted to contain us, and I didn’t feel that was for me.

So there was this kind of portal. You could go through it but there was this oxygen screen. That helped us to breathe normally.

I realized that when you go through there, then it’s the end, you couldn’t breathe.

That’s when he said to me also: ‘you can look that way but you can’t pass, because otherwise you die’.

And I was like, Well, if this is the option to be contained and studied, I’d rather take the other option, so I ran and I jumped through.

And while I was looking around. I was amazed by what I saw and at the same time I realized I couldn’t breathe. And it was like I woke up. I was just really stumped by: It isn’t the end. That’s when I realized that this must be what happens when you die, it’s not the end. And I thought that was amazing!

Yeah, the realization that this is nothing to be afraid of. It’s not like I want to die, anytime soon. This was for me a really great realization and I thought this is what I need to share with you.

So dying is not that bad. And it’s not something to be afraid of.

And that’s, I think, a great message and worth sharing.
