Look at self through new eyes
To view yourself as an eternal being helps you view and understand the physical self through new eyes. Every moment, you continue to be that which you are. You choose to be born into a physical body to experience resistance, states of thought and emotion. Why begin the quest to connect with things beyond self, be it God or source? The spirit knows. Until you stop fearing death, you do not allow yourself to live. As you stop not wanting death, you realize what this transition truly is, and the process you feel now. Know that nothing is wrong with where you are or how you feel. You arrive knowing what is happening.

I realized my fear was not really in death, because even if there is a finality, what in the finality did I have to fear, I would know nothing else
the fear I saw was in how I felt after a death, especailly of ones who were close, the emotions that came, the missingness, and I just always think when I leave, if I am thought of after and there is deep sadness or missingness, then I would not want to be the cause of this
when I knew my mother was dying I asked her once if she believed there was re-incarnation, and she said yes, sometimes I wonder if she did so, so that I would find comfort in this when thoughts of her came, and I have, in all things around that remind me of her and it is in this type of comfort I would as well wish to leave, this is what I feel my spirit knows
the quest then seems to be to see what really is finality, it feels to be a state, and one we might choose as well?
a ps. :)
I asked my father this once as well, a few years ago, do you believe that we return in other forms of life?, he asked me, why would I want to? it just made me smile :)
PS .. I love the Michaelangelo quote .. and that vision of freedom ..
