For a number of years have tried to follow the question of, the study of death. One of many -discoveries: is that the subject has as many facets as does a diomond, and yes, far more precious.
I respect and admire this effort on your part to attempt to bring more light to this unknown.
After so many years my clearest conclusion (hardly original), is the one that expresses a continuing mystery. That every belief system offers its' own perspective, thus a death menu.
For me then it's about arriving at varied understandings, provides a comfort blanket, gives me something to stand on.
Is 'my' view the ONE? Hardly. I mean how in the world will I know until the moments of death arrive? Having said that, I am of course open to most opinions and studies. Where I might react is when a point of view is advanced as the answer, as the only way into this mystery.
I thank you and all others who continue trying to uncover the answers.
