We all will die. One day. It is inevitable. In many ways it is best to die when still in good shape and vigorous, rather than decaying and decrepit IMHO, but anyway ....
So what happens when we die?
IMHO the brain, which feeds the conscious mind (i.e. our practical awareness of where we are) and the subconscious (which deals with our abstract thoughts, dreams etc.), will switch off. Permanently!
Everything will disappear from view/hearing etc. We will not be aware of anything, there will be total void.
Total void may sound a disturbing concept, but fear and anxiety will disappear as well - so there is no need to be afraid.
During my time in hospital in 2008, I came close to death anyway. During the second operation that they obliged me to have, I nearly died. During the time that I was going through the operation, everything was total darkness and total void anyway. Only when I nearly regained consciousness did anything occur - a dream appeared in my subconscious mind, after which I awoke - in such pain I could not believe it.
It would in many ways have been better to have stayed in the quiet peaceful void. No pain, no suffering, no fear, no anxiety. No thoughts or dreams either.
So can I believe that after death, rather than near death, that there will be anything different? Logically, no. Why should there be? What scientific proof can anyone produce to suggest that something else will occur? None.
Some invisible part of us that you cannot find on any x-ray will somehow emerge from us into some invisible place that no living being can locate, where there will be some form of after-life? Yes, well ..... Really it stretches the imagination (in our subconscious mind!), so far beyond any probability, it should not, to any sane or reasonable person, be worthy of five minutes of our time. There is no logic to it, and as such should be dismissed out of hand - without fear or anxiety!
