1. Do you believe you were someone else in a previous life?
2. Do you believe you will return as someone else after you die?
3. Have you ever had a near-death experience?
5. Have you ever been with someone as they actually died?
4. Does your own death ever cross your mind? Do you even care?
I hope I don't jinx anybody, myself included.

1) no. I believe that since the beginning of time, infinite and without demarcation of separation of space, time or matter, I simply existed. I have always existed, I currently exist, and I will always exist, because the soul of man is an eternal drop of the Creator who is the ocean of life in comparison.
2) no. I always was me, I always will be me, and if I somehow return to reanimate this pile of dirt, blood and shit I currently inhabit, then it will be MY pile of dirt, blood and shit.
3) yes. when consuming daturas I have had such intense out-of-body visions that I knew I was not conventionally alive. The folks tripping with me on the most serious occurance, said that while i was having my vision I was unconscious, spinning on the floor, drooling until I literally like magic reappeared in my body as myself.. The visions I experienced on that quest defy understanding, I can not explain where I was or what I was experiencing, but it was not the conventional daydream or hallucination, I have plenty of those.. this was something different entirely..
4) yes, constantly, a man of power should befriend his death and know with absolute conviction the moment of its approach. Death is always at hand for the spiritual warrior, but as Christian, I believe that the final victory of humanity is to conquer the pains of death (as a spiritual place of existence where a person goes after life)
5) no. I was a nazarite for 8 years, I purposely avoided anything even remotely dying, and as such I had to hurt quite a few death bed feelings
