Why Do We Fear Death?

Summary

Why Do We Fear Death explores mortality, meaning, and fear of the unknown at hiveaid.org—offering insight, reflection, and resilience in facing life’s end.

Why Do We Fear Death? We fear death for the most obvious reason. An animated and conscious body is the only existence that we know. The thought of being completely inanimate and unconscious is a disturbing idea for most of us.

Most human beings believe, feel, and hope for more to existence than the physical realm. This belief provides them with uneasy comfort about the inevitability of physical death. Many people believe that energy theoretically can’t be destroyed. They think that when we die, our power source transitions into a different reality of being.

I have personally seen a small but very bright orb of light. It suddenly appeared, then moved rapidly along the ceiling. It vanished into the wall at the other end of the house. This occurred at the death of two of my close family members.

I felt the presence of my loved ones in the orbs of light. I know that they are alive in a purer form without any physical constraints. I know this. Yet, I have no way of proving it. I only saw the orbs shortly after their deaths. I have not received any further communications from either one of them. I saw and sensed only two people. They were my mother and one grandfather. Why didn’t I see anyone else who has died in my family?

To claim knowledge that the energy animating our physical body continues unchanged is to assert belief based on observed evidence. This energy remains after the material body ceases to work. This evidence is seen with the eyes and felt in the mind.

Of course, that visual and sensed evidence was only as valid as my state of mind at that time. It can’t be readily used as proof. The energy that animates our bodies during life is more than a switch that is turned off. It ceases to radiate power when its housing shuts down.

I remember all the people I have known who have died before me. As I look at the world around me, my fear of death is somewhat abated. In the cosmic sense of things, a being aware of its mortality aligns with the material norm. All energy forms are conscious of their existence. Their main role is to keep and harmonize equilibrium.

We may exist in a compact conscious state for a short time after physical death. This can be in the form of an energy orb. Still, at some point, we become intermingled and disbursed. We are integrated with billions of other energy frequencies. It is doubtful that our united consciousnesses will form a super-consciousness of unlimited power. More than likely, they will only constitute dispersed subatomic particles in an enormous energy grid.

If I clear my mind by imagining myself in a deep sleep, I can equate that with death. Then, the actual state of being dead does not seem so foreboding. It isn’t frightening. In darkness there is peace. In the abode of the dead, there is tranquility and safety.

In life, there are only the ominous spectra of impending demise. This is fueled by the fear of the unknown. It is also driven by the dread of a reality that you have never experienced before.

We only know this one reality called life. It is natural to be apprehensive about something we have never experienced. When I think of all the people who have lived before me. I realize their birth and death caused no ripple in the cosmic continuum. Their existence left no impact on the universe’s fabric. There was no fluctuation. I am compelled to consider that death is the norm. Life is an aberration of that norm.

Death is the cosmic norm. So, I should not be fearful of it. Death is nothing more than my natural state of being. We humans have a small window of time to nourish this fleeting domain called life. When we are young, we do not fully appreciate it. When we have grown old and ugly, we can’t fully enjoy it.

So why do we fear death? A charged particle wants to keep its charge. An interwoven array of charged particles wants to keep its ideal balance. Millions of human and natural frequencies pass through the carbon-based carcass. They constantly cause mental and physical illnesses. They also lead to aging, deformities, and eventually death.

The sublime is awakened from the quiet serenity of death. It enters the instability of consciousness and its turmoil. It forgets its former state. It becomes anxious about what it has forgotten. We fear death because life is the only reality that we know. Yet, death is our natural state of existence. We should never fear it.
