Sure, I've thought about death. (I've dreamed of my own death a few times. Despite how violent my deaths were, it is not a reflection of what death really is for me). I don't fear it.

It's my belief that we live in stages.
Our bodies are our mortal vessels to transport who we REALLY are...(the energy that we are), during our time spent on this realm.
And death is our passage to our next realm of existence.The only way to advance to our next realm is, of course, through death, therefore, it is not something to fear, but, like JD said, it should be embraced...welcomed.

Perhaps, the only thing we fear regarding death is the unknown of its understanding.....
