"The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual’s way of being in the world." ― Stanislav Grof Topic(s): Death More From Stanislav Grof "An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type." "Research challenges the materialistic understanding of death, according to which biological death represents the final end of existence and of all conscious activity." "Dying before dying has two important consequences: It liberates the individual from the fear of death and influences the actual experience of dying at the time of biological demise." More In Death "I was fantasising about my own death, I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played, I was at that level of insanity."― Billy Corgan "As a comic, you try something and if it works you go with it and grind it to death."― Alexei Sayle "I’m not afraid of death. It’s the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life."― Jean Giraudoux
