The Fear of Death...

The fear of Death is actually the Ego fearing that it will not exist any longer.. Fear is mentioned many times in Spiritual writings because it not only causes pain in the physical life but also is the reason why many connot achieve Enlightenment.. To enter the Enlightenment experience, you must conquer the greatest Fear.. and that is the Fear of Death.. You must want to mentally die.. If you have a strong belief in life after death, then it will be easier to accomplish this.. But, the main point is that the only way to enter Enlightenment is to sacrifice your desire for life and truly want to become Nothing.. Once, you have achieved this state of mind and surrendered the Ego, then and only then, you will enter the state of non-ego, which is the state of God Consciousness.. you will then Realize that becoming Nothing is becoming Everything..............namaste, thomas
