Dealing With The Fear Of Death
by Victor Epand
When we read about ignorance we can often identify with it one hundred percent, due to the majority of us living our existence in the mode of ignorance.
When we realize that there has to be more meaning to our existence in this world than working hard and drinking ourselves stupid every day of our life. It would be when we were coming down from the effects of the alcohol, which was usually on the second day of detoxing, that we would be in the hell of horrors. On that second night after our last drink, then the fear of death would enter my mind. Every time we would jump out of bed in fear, then we would begin crying out to God.
Before, we could never get it in our head that we were all created in the image of God. That is the big question if God actually did create us in his image. If he did, then he had to love us, so why would death be the end all of our existence. When we decide that we have had enough of that vicious cycle of drinking, and promise ourselves that we will not do it again, is when our heads will clear.
When we look back at our first few months in recovery, you may be able to see that most day you would have to pass your local watering hole to find yourself standing just inside the door. Perhaps you caught yourself wondering what you were doing there. We are creatures of habit. When we realize that we need His help, then and only then can we become truly cured.
We must make a moral inventory of ourselves, then share it with another human being that we trust. We must seek prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with Him, but pray only for the knowledge of his will and the power to carry it out. In practicing meditation, you may want to look into Transcendental Meditation, because from that very first meditation you will begin having lovely experiences, some of them may be very powerful.
This is when you may begin searching for the meaning of our lives. During this period we may experience some powerful spiritual awakenings due to the the spiritual healer being present. A spiritual awakening was God, who would ask something of us to perform, and it was up to us how we took to the task, and the rewards we would receive from him. Most likely we would not be aware of a spiritual awakening straight away, it would occur to us months, even years later if we were lucky to experience one.
Srila Prabhupada bestows the blessing of Krishna Consciousness onto us when we visit in our chants. Our lives will become totally changed and we will become happy for all other devotees who are lucky enough to have experienced this wonderful spirit in person. At last our life has meaning to it, and gone are the fears of death, as the meaning of life and death have been explained for us in The Bhagavad Gita.
