Am all ready already. Didn't awaken but did what I can so all is good. No need to linger longer. Regret nothing, miss nothing. Love everyone, in debt to everyone, apologies everyone. Cool if it's my last few breaths. Cool if the sun rays rouse me from my slumbers a while more. To be fair will prefer another go round to this shit show. All my own doing. As I said, did what I can. And held a few hands along the way. So all good.

1. Playing guitar.

2. I don’t know, my family would be the best answer, but at the time of death, what can you care about?

3. Nobody or my mom and dad only, depending on situation.

4. Try my absolute best to relax from everything and everyone. Cognize that I am going to die and I am fortunate to know that I will die before I die. Probably listen to some Guru talking about death.

5. Not really. How can I? I didn't know any better. I would be the same man all over if I took this birth.

6. No, but let's go. I hope I did enough sadhana to get my vidheya mukti.

The natural ego response in the face of death is to enter a nostalgic/longing state of mind about the life lived up to that point. This is probably why people report there lives flashing before there eyes right before death. It seems to be a deep routed genetic wiring that greatly improves survival rates.

Because it raises to the max settings how precious and valuable life. for a temporary period of time.

I will likely experience all that, as ive done so many times before.

Forgive me for not addressing your questions directly.

The lyrics of the song below best reflect my state of mind.

Best regards,

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=n7BkXebANI0&si=BP4c776oAxs7C2l-

 

The Watchmaker of Light

 

And when he will come for me as well,

The Purple Watchmaker of the Light,

to stir the blue in my mind,

I will be waiting ready and bright.

 

All of the days will go right through me,

Floors and airs will fade out

I will take one last look at everything

And I will go, I don't know where - forever.

This reminded me of when Jim Carrey got the fake "Missiles about to hit Hawaii!" text that happened a few years ago. Basically, he thought was about to die, and he just started thanking everything and everyone in his mind. I'd like to think I'd do something similar but to be honest I'd probably start freaking out.

[Sincerity]

Great questions.

•What will you miss the most? The people closest to me.

•who do you love and care about? My girlfriend, sister, parents, best friend.

•who would you call? Best friend.

•what will you do before you die? I would go visit my sister to see/hug her one last time, but would try to not tell her at all costs. I would write a letter to the parents and sister. I would spend the day with my girlfriend, most likely travel with her to the sea to share my last moments. 

•do you have any regrets? Not really. I'd just regret not doing more for her. Not loving more.

• are you ready? No.

That's interesting it seems a lot of people are not ready to die.

In my view almost all people who think they are ready to die are not really ready. There might not be feelings of attachment (or something akin to that) on the surface, but they can be buried deeper down. 

Being "ready to die" really means that you are not afraid of death. I call bs on anyone who says they're not afraid. It's so easy to "hype yourself up", bury fear and think nothing scares you but when push comes to shove, your pupils widen, your chin trembles and fear arises clear as day.

I thought I wanted to die once. I did LSD with the intention of "leaving this dream" on that trip. And then I rediscovered critical feelings about my life.

@integral This is why in india they burn your body in 2 hours I hear. The life review is a trap so burn all the memory up.

I've had vivid dreams in which I am surrounded by death such as, being eaten by huge wild Cats, being blown up and being killed. Before I die, the first thing I do is sit down cross legged. I think about my family and my childhood experiences that I cherish with my siblings and my parents. In a split moment my life flashed before my eyes, I acknowledge the fear of death is this force to survive. And I just accept it. I do not fight the inevitability of death. My attitude is surrender, go into it.

I will cry tears of attachments and detachments. Tears will be pouring down my face. I will tell everyone and everything, even animals and insects that I love you. I love you, I am sorry for not being more loving. I love you.

That seems to be the case, what might matter then "why" they don't want to die.

When young it reasonable not to want to die, with age I think as the body deteriorates and the light dims things become mundane and repetitive and its easier to let go or get ready for death.

What do you mean by this? 2 hours??? isnt that extreme, but if there already dead for 2 hours and brain function is 0 i assume the "reliving of ones life" has already happend.
