This I agree with:
:
I believe that death is the complete sessation of your consciousness. No Heaven or Hell, no reincarnation, no haunting, no reunions or stats or respawns or extra goes at the game of life. No sensation of blackness, no sensation of emptiness or loneliness or nothingness. You don't get to enjoy your freedom from corporeality or existence. There is no eternal relief.
This confuses me:
:
It scares the everloving shit out of me. When my mind wanders to the subject I have to distract myself before I get that dizzying, melting, slowly collapsing feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I can see that a (to use your words) "sensation of blackness, no sensation of emptiness or loneliness or nothingness" would be petrifying, but why do you find the thought of just switching off frightening?
