How has the gateway experience changed your view of death?
Hello. Hoping for some insight here. I’ve been having a sort of difficult mental health time layered with some existential dread, grief, self doubt etc. It’s all somewhat interconnected and I don’t need to delve into the whole thing, but overall I suppose I’m seeking some answers to big questions like purpose in life, some guidance and also, perhaps, to get a few questions answered regarding the nature of consciousness and my fear of death.
I’ve tried the first 20 or so minutes of the gateway experience and definitely had some interesting body sensations, but haven’t dived deep yet at all.
I’m wondering if anyone else was in a similar boat to me and was able to find the gateway experience useful in your healing/question answering. To be clear I don’t expect this to be an overnight cure or even to ever have total clarity on these things. I just want to… feel something stuck in me move toward something true that is also good/positive.
Other than my own current life struggles I think my biggest fear is that of oblivion after death, and I’m looking for any first hand experience I can gain to show me that perhaps isn’t the case. Jury is out for me atm as all I’ve experienced of the world has been pretty materially explainable. Hope this makes sense! If you have any perspective or stories to share about your own experiences I’d love to hear!
