Good Eve DP,
I understand.. But what YOU don't understand yet is that OCD... is your
particular vulnwerability. I spent 25 minutes underwater. I drowned. Don't
you think I faced rehab.. and my own inabilities.. not to mention judgements
from others during recovery??
For me.. part
DP,
Why on earth would anyone be worried about death? After all you won't be around
or conscious to experience it! Remember you were dead before you were born. Do
you worry about not being alive before you were born? Of course not. Then why

I figure if I am thinking about death then I am alive and I don't have to
worry about it and if I am dead I won't know it.

I think there are two things you can do. And I want to take this time to tell
you not to become discouraged by posters that offer obvious solutions and
realizations that are supposedy inherent to their way of living and thinking.
I can tell that it is not useful. You are not going to
Namaste, and thank you.
I will think long and hard about your words (I've been doing zazen for awhile
now, but not without difficulty).
I do find some of the comments (and I apologize to anyone here) a little
condescending, like you haven't figured that out yet? On another site, I just

Your comment reminds me of the koan about what your face looked like before you
were born.
Perhaps that IS a meditation koan DP could ponder;)
As to the post suggesting that everyone is , or must be afraid of death beit
consciously or not-- I must respectfully disagree. Such
Thank you for posting such an insightful respone on this topic..

I also sense that fear of death is also fear of life. I suppose that when one
lives in the present moment, which I can assure you is pretty difficult to do,
A lot of the fears seem to lessen more and more. On the other way round, when

Your highlighted remark makes things worse. It is no cure for the fear of
death. There must be a 'cure', but not the words.

Anthony,
For you maybe but not for me... You need to get rid of your attachments to life
and to death both! If you clearly realize the true nature of your being that
will happen automatically.

Kristy, again, offers a possible solution: helping others to combat fear of
death. Try it, and consider consulting a physician on a possible medicine.
