Hi Zzzarathustra,

welcome to the nexus.

Sometimes I wonder about the fear of death and if it's not rather a fear of living. Death means nothing; it's just an end of one vibrational complex. But life is everything, to me at least. And often (probably almost always) we are inhibited from fully engaging in it and recognizing our full potential, due to lack of being-confidence (not ego-confidence, we seem to have plenty of that most of the time) and repressed emotions (which are repressed why? feeling of inadequacy perhaps, social conditionings, avoiding unpleasantness, etc.). Maybe we cling to this idea of the self and attribute to it such an over-importance that the real thing - the flow of life - can't really come through any more. Fearing to let go of the ego, the little self and all these unnecessary contractions, fearing to live fully. And finally also fearing the ultimate destruction of this construct, biological death. But that fear IMO is just a symptom of what I just explained.

anyway, it's nice to hear that psychedelics have aided you in your self-reflection and your search for peace and transcendence. I'm sure you will find plenty of great food for thought on these boards, and lots of support for your endeavor to overcome fear and find understanding. I love how we cross-fertilize each others minds here.

cheers & love

Enoon
