@BlueSky: Thank you, that is an interesting theory. Two things: #1 I am fearful for the death of others, not myself, and #2 that is not what I believe about physical death. Which leads in other theoretical directions: are those my real beliefs or just the ones I tell myslef on the surface? Also, when did I develop those beliefs? That one hits a nerve. This is my personal theory: that I developed these beliefs in response to an event in my life, and there is a residual, a loose end that nags me. A chink in my armor, begging to be dealt with.
