FEAR OF DEATH AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT

In many parts of the world, children are told not to even utter the word “death” inside the house, because they have a stupid hope that if you do not utter this word, it will not enter the house. This morbid fear of death is not natural. Maybe the majority of people have subscribed to it, that is different, but the fear is not a natural process. Death is a natural process. If life happens, then death is natural. Being afraid of something natural is unnatural. The fear of death is simply because we are not in touch with reality. The fear of death has come to us because we have gotten deeply identified with this body. Our identification with this body has become so strong because we have not explored other dimensions. If we had explored other dimensions of experience, if we had established ourselves in other dimensions of experience, the body would not be such a big issue. If life happens, then death is natural. Being afraid of something natural is unnatural.
