Dear Death, I greatly appreciate reading your insightful answers to our questions. Surely there is no one better to ask! You have a perspective like none other. It's not like I look forward to meeting you, but I'm no longer afraid of you, in general, or of our meeting. I almost met you 10 years ago in what could have been a drowning accident, but even then I wasn't afraid. Many more years before that, I had a deep experience coming out of a spiritual dream where the feelings of pleasure were so intense in my chest that I couldn't breathe. I thought to myself, "I'm going to die now, and this feels so good that I don't care." From this I gained a conviction that there are internal dimensions of experience that are worth looking into, and the exercises you suggested to "Feeling Blah" might be gateways into them. How wonderful! Thank you!
