everything has a name. it sounds like you may be relying on some
nebulous subjective experience to comfort yourself in the face of
your eventual death. i have no doubts, questions or fears associated
with my complete dissolution at death. sounds like you might.
careful what others tell you, even those you trust associated with
your religous or spiritual tradition. remember, tradition just means
old.
