when I was about 10 my grandfather on my mothers side died, at that time I was more closer with him then my grandfather on my fathers side because we seen more of him (he lived close by), I didn't realize death and what it meant until this, watching him being berried and being told of god all my life and standing there hearing the sermon, made me stop to ponder this new meaning, to make a long story short, I had heard about and read (I loved to read) hypnosis and I also had an interest in theology (and astral projection), so I lay back on my bed and tranced my self out, telling my self over and over there is no heaven there is no hell, there is a heaven there is a hell, until at the right meditative point I asked my self just one of them, Is there a heaven or hell?,
next thing I know I found my self going into a tunnel, then passing through a garden of some kind, representing to me the heaven most anyone would desire and wish for, then i passed through another portal, this one, was void of everything, nothing existed but time and space and this big black raven and a smattering of other glowing balls I took to be souls, the raven ate the souls, many try fleeing but to where? to what?
this represented to me that the heaven is the wistful illusions of the mind denying reality,
the void was the closest thing my mind could think of to show me what death was, then the raven was showing me that even the void was not enough to realize the nothingness of death, the raven showed that our what we call our souls and who and what we are dissolve into nothingness with the digestion of death and time.

any thoughts?

You are right that we cannot comprehend death. One exists by knowing that one exists. "I think therefore I am." Death is not existing, thus it is beyond our understanding.

I try to remember the time before I was ever conceived. When I did not yet exist. If I could "remember" this time then I would know death, but I cannot. There is no memory because there was no existence. I did not think therefore I was not.

I kinda hope Death is a personification, ala the Grim Reaper. I would be rather interested to meet it, and have a discussion.
