One of my very favorite subjects! Don't get it wrong. I am not a sadistic monster, I don't dance naked in graveyards in the night, I don't find any pleasure in bone something activities and I surely don't worship devil. But, let's say, death was always for me an interesting subject, something to search and meditate upon and look in the eye.
Only the idea of death is strange. I mean, think about it, we just come here some time in a newbie body, walk or run a life of about 70 to 80 years more or less and leave in a way like the one we came: go out of the door from which we had come in. And then? Why we do this? What purpose serves and what's happening before and after? This ignorance is maddening. At least for me.
Usually people don't bother. They just try to survive or do the best they can do or have a great time for the period they are here. But to me it's a problem. The before and the after seems more important than the in-between. Where the heck we go? Do we go anywhere or we disappear in the mist of time? I know that these "existential" questions seem very boring to a lot of people and that are being asked for so long that they have become like the air, exists but we don't usually notice it. But does this lessen their importance?
If we skip the probability of nothing after death, which, I think, has no logical meaning, we start to think about theories like other dimensions, purgatory and the bright light with the tunnel thing I've read about in after death books.

We say that nobody can know about the after because nobody has come back before. But I've heard that a lot of people have done so. People with after death experiences, shamans who work with the other side, even world walkers that go forth and come back all the time. Why they don't tell us about? First of all, they do. Many people have talked about such experiences, but who listens? If we want death an unknown mystery we will close our ears and do everything to remain an unknown mystery. Second, most of the people who occupy themselves with such activities don't believe that common people are ready for them and even if they were willing to do the step, like the ones who did it, they will face controversy, negativity and even aggressiveness. Why to do such a thing to themselves? They are so well when they are self-effacing. Well, I would keep my knowledge to myself or at least to some few who will pass their tests with success.
But, you know, after all these about physical death, which is not that special as we may think, it seems appropriate to mention real death. Because physical death is just an transition, a change, a natural way to walk through bodies since flesh bodies are damageable and we should change them as we change a cloth that has been worn out.
The real dreadful death is the one that comes most times without even noticing it, it's the one that kills our present moments like a shadow for the sake of fantasy and egoistic purposes and sucks our energy. This slow death is the worst thing that can happen to us and it usually happens all the time. It's the death of consciousness. And the veil that covers true reality. It's so sad living like this and not even knowing it.
And, then, there is also the third kind of death. Hehe, yes, three kinds. What did you expect? We have variety. It's an overproduction subject. And although the physical death is neutral, since it's just a transition, and the consciousness death is the sad and negative kind, the third one is positive, promising and brings the hope in our lives. And it's the way to overcome the second kind.
It's the death of ego, the death of our smaller and bigger monsters we keep inside us, the ones that steal our energy and dance laughing crazily when we identify ourselves with them. But we can do it, we can regain ourselves, our energy, our lives and the chance to wake up in a better and conscious way of living. A lot of traditions talk about this work although usually in a hidden way. It's obvious why. Most people don't realize the fight that takes place all the time inside them and they are not interested in escaping from it since they are completely identified with thoughts and feelings that don't really belong to them. That's why the third death is for those who are willing to overcome themselves and gain an other higher level of existence.
So, isn't death really an interesting subject? Haven't I drawn your attention? Think about it.
