Hallo all of you,
My views are:
Here is my short version.
You do not realise, that you do not need to be afraid - because you are
ignorant.
If you knew and had real wisdom and knowledge - you would understand, that
there was no need of being afraid
of death or anything for that matter.
Remove your ignorance by seeking out those experiences in your life,
which might help you to destroy your problem.
Some read books. What they call the right ones. And sometimes they get lucky
and read a good one among
all those - superficial ones which floods the markets today.
Some learn from life. Their job, nature, friends and so on. (We all do that.
But with just little knowledge - you learn in a different manner.)
Others join a spiritual organisation - of their very own (egoistical)
choosing.
And it is therefore often not the one, which the could benefit the most
from.
Others seek a REAL spiritual Teacher.
But they do not know, that the Teacher finds them - and that they do not
find the Teacher - even if they think so.
***
Another view is: Faith counts.
Without faith in that life has a deeper and more peaceful meaning - there
with often be no concern about removing fear.
With that faith or small amunt of knowledge - one will continue to seek a
solution to the problem of fear.
And true:
Seek and you will find !
Knock and the door shall be open !
I suggest, that we be patient, calm and intense about it all.
Build on a rock - a solid one, with no weird popes, dogmas, strange
conditioning rituals and the like.

M. Sufilight with peace and love...
