On Dying(an outline):

• Not scared of death, scared of dying;
• Worst = Resistance to a slow degradation;
• 1. Never wake up: "peacefully" (paranoia);
• 2. To be conscious of your last breath; to experience it;
• 3. Suicide (HTS and other artists), choice, euthanasia;
• 4. Act of dying, colored by afterlife;
• 5. Christian afterlife, comforting but not Christ-like;
• 6. DMT substance, in brain, dying = afterlife, an odyssey;
• 7. Psychedelics as practice; Aldous Huxley deathbed;
• 8. Nuclear flash, to be stripped of the chance to die;
• 9. Scientific (blackness, consciousness expires);
• 10. Karma (rebirth of soul vs. 6m year tarantula race);
• 11. Abstract peaces (kids, community, words);
• 12. Worst way to die is by surprise (each day, embody).

Dying is the matter of mind going into a black hole. It is forever gone in this plane, but it enters a strange universe on the other side. It's not heaven. It's not a LAN party.
