It is in human nature to be scared of the unknown, understandable. But because it is unknown it makes me want to 'experience' it even more, I know how it feels to be lucid, I know how it feels to feel. What I don't know is what lays beyond that, how to feel nothing, how it is to not exist. I'm at the point where I stopped being scared long time ago*, curiosity took over that fear to the point I even crave it.

*I'm 29 in 3 months, my earliest memory of that idea (empty void) and overall curiosity how it feels to be dead reaches age of 6, when I was 8 I already stopped being afraid of death and thought of it as of a friend that brings final peace after struggles of this world beside the shape or form it may come in, I'll welcome it with a smile and opened arms. The only thing I am afraid in death is physical pain that comes with it. I know pain is temporary and peace is eternal (if I may use this paraphrase) yet I hope for peaceful transition.

...Sorry

Yeah I get that I remember being really young and just thinking to myself at night if I should just skip to the end just to see what it was like

but doesn't the idea of nothing, nothing at all scare you? you will never be able to feel anything ever again

Quite the opposite, it amazes me, hypnotizes me like a 'gineminosaurus' lollypop 3 years old. That's the whole point of empty void, there is nothing, no sadness, no pain, no struggles... yes, there is also no happiness, no extazy and such... there is only nothingness and when you are nothing, when you feel nothing there is nothing to be scared of. But do you really feel then? You are gone, no after life, no after thought, no after feelings nor sensations, nothing. That's the beauty of this idea.

There’s nothing, not even a sense of self. How is that beautiful?

I know it might be hard to comprehend at first... or maybe it's just me being mental. Maybe if you live with your demons for too long you start getting used to them and you even start to like them but tell me, how is that beautiful that few years here determine your eternal 'after' there.

Some find beauty in Valhalla, some in Heaven and Hell and some in eternal, undisturbed peace.

If nothing I wrote to this point might make you understand my point I'm afraid that nothing I would write further will.
