We all have our version of near death experiences.
I say this because no matter what else has happened to you - you were born once.
Not everyone wants to believe in higher powers, afterlife, the size and depth of the universe, God or gods; and that is ok. Sometimes it is fun to just get the perspective from those who DO though.
I adopted 25 years or so ago the Zen mantra for life's stages, Birth, Sickness, Aging, Death
My own experiences are different.
I do not know death. I am not very preoccupied with it either. I have known the other stages; and, about 20 years ago I experienced the transit of birth, death, and beyond during life.
People in cultures that consider and meditate on death fear it and are less likely to obsess on it.
