      I had a stroke and was outside my body. I looked down and saw my body in the floor. No fear. No pain. Those feelings didn't occur to that being that I was. Those feelings are a survival mechanism of the bodies we inhabit now. There was no question. No figuring anything out. I just knew.
      It was like coming home after 500 years working abroad. The most powerful feeling of familiarity. I had no solid body. No physical. If I could describe what I was it was just the emotion "love". Child-like glee. Eternal warmth.
      This is what we truly are. This is what you were before you came here.
      It wasn't just me there. I was you. I was every atom that had ever existed in the physical realm.
      Most importantly, there was no fear. I used to be a very anxious person. Not any more. I know there is a plan. I know somehow we are projecting this physical reality ourselves. I don't know why. Bad things happen because this physical place needs to be balanced for some reason.
      We're all one being. We separate to come here to these bodies and it felt like the reason we find love so amazing is because it's our natural state before we come here to these bodies.
      I haven't explained everything but the original post surprised me. Its describing exactly what happened to me.
      Never give up.
      U chose to come here. We just can't remember for some reason. U chose to experience the bad AND the good. Trust the plan. Be good to others.
      Never Never give up

      My father used to say "Hell, you don't even know what's going on until you're 40."
      The fastest way to get over your fear of being dead is to eliminate organized religion from your life. NOTHING will screw up your ability to think rationally and logically about anything than the utter nonsense spewed forth from the pulpits of the nations. "Life after Death" - what a crock!
      Notice I said "fear of being dead" - that's NOT the same as getting over the "fear of dying." I believe it was Woody Allen who said “I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.” Me too.
      Being dead is a snap - just like being sound asleep - big deal. But GETTING DEAD is another story... if you're lucky you'll be hit by lightning, a bus or a bullet between the eyes. INSTANT DEATH bypassing all pain and suffering. But... lying in bed, full of drugs, for sometimes MONTHS slowly losing "it" - that's a form of TORTURE I refuse to have happen to me. If I ever get to this point at the end of the road, I'll find a way to END it myself.

      Thank you for your intelligent response... and don't apologize for your "English" - it may not be perfect, but I've been speaking and writing it for almost 80 years and I'm a long way from perfect in English still.
      We all worship something and I agree that if choosing a "religion" makes life more comfortable for a person, then who am I to say they're wrong. However, for me, I worship the "natural" world that I can see, hear, touch, smell and otherwise experience. I cannot "believe" in an invisible "God/Creator" and cannot understand the concept that once we are born, live and die, we somehow will continue to "live."
      I might be wrong, of course. That's why I don't count myself among the "believers" nor the "atheists." I don't even agree with just labelling myself an "agnostic." I like the term I recently learned - POSSIBILITARIAN... meaning, to me, that because there is no evidence to confirm or deny the existence of "God," and because we humans know very little about ANYTHING... I think the only reasonable position to hold is there's a POSSIBILITY of a God and afterlife. I can live just fine without KNOWING one way or the other.

    5 yrs ago I had a stroke, which took away all use of my left side. As i lay cursing and blaming everyone and everything for the state I was in, a sudden thought came to me. I was never sure whether or not I believed in a God. but I decided to pray. I asked that all these negative feelings please be removed from me - and almost b4 I had finished asking, the most incredible feeling of peace came over me and remains to this day. I am now disabled and live my life from my wheelchair, but I am able to state, totally honestly, that I believe this was an immediate reply from God and yes, I now believe totally in His existence and yes, that He is the help of the helpless. Mind, I had a 'flu jab on the same day as my stroke and I DO blame that, but will anyone from the medical profession ever admit that THAT could be the case? I very much doubt it.

      Sara, to assert that there is an ultimate truth of spirituality is, and then defined it as entirely subjective, is self-refuting and self-contradictory. Either there is an ultimate truth or it is entirely subjective, but if it is wholly and entirely subjective, then there really is no ultimate spiritual truth, as such a definition alludes to meaningless. Furthermore, to suggest that this form of spirituality came without influence is not only preposterous, naïve, and perhaps arrogant. Such is the westernized form of eastern spirituality, but it is not new, nor is it original.

      Physical body returns to dust, but the Soul lives forever in heaven or hell, depending upon acceptance of Jesus as your Savior & going to heaven OR rejection of Jesus, meaning your soul will be in the Lake of Fire at the final Judgment.( Hell). I'm truly amazed at the millions of people who are so ignorant as to what happens after we die, that the Soul lives Forever!!! Get right with God, you only have this life to make the most important decision you will ever make. God gave us Free Will, so it's up to each of us to choose, Jesus or Satan. And, the Soul is fully conscious no matter where you end up, the glorious & beautiful heaven or the agonizing horrors of hell, remember, your choice. 🙏🙏🙏♥️✝️✝️✝️✝️

    Life will inevitably present to you with your own designated hurdles to overcome. Do so, and you will flourish to see clearer skies. I totally pulled that outta my ass but in all my years of being alive the universe has yet to throw something at me that I couldn't tackle head on.

    I love Anthony Hopkins...He is a unique actor his character in every person he portrays..in Meet Joe Black for example...he moved me so much with Death speaking to him..."Yes"...it moved me to tears, and had stayed with me for ever. I have never seen him in any film where his acting has not touched me...Instinct...Shadowlands...Silence of the Lambs. Magical.

    I grew up loving and thinking about concepts, ideas, thought, and the intangible, but there came a time I felt the need for things. Then there came a time that all the things became a source of expense with no return, obligation and responsibility and heartache. Now, I just want to be free of all things as well as all people who are just money, power, control and possession oriented.

      You're smart enough to have experienced that our capitalistic system is giving a very hard time to the ones who would prefer to skip it though?

      I want also want to break free from everyone and everything in this world because I’ve had enough of being alive. It seems like sleeping is the only relieving solution from working, experiencing, feeling, thinking, and dealing with this temporary and meaningless existence but I hate how I have to wake up every time. Why can’t sleep be eternal?

    The meaning of life is life. Simple as that. We humans tend to overthink with the brains we have.
