Barry writes snipped: Being forgotten. It fears oblivion.
IMO, it's not even that the self fears death itself. Most selves have caught a clue and have realized that they're gonna die, and have come to some sense of comfort with that fact. But what the self fears is that it'll be completely forgotten when it dies, as if its life had made no difference whatsoever to the other lives it touched. TomT from reading Byron Katie she encourages all to focus on the Big Three that will generally cover all the fears. Fear of dying ------ 1. Alone 2. Unloved 3. Broke you put them in the order that suits you. Seems to cover most eventualities. Tom
