I don't see the 'die alone' analogy as clearly as you do. Most people are not alone when they die, whether they have family, friends, medical personnel, etc., most have someone near them at death's arrival.

Note: If you are talking about facing our own mortality alone as individuals then I agree, but in the less esoteric sense I stand by the above.

As far as the afterlife goes there either is one or there isn't, if there is one I think it more likely that there will be many souls there vs only you (if we continue to exist as individual consciencenesses and not simply part of the ether [which would make this discussion moot]), again denying the 'die alone' position.

Of course, I have been wrong before, and I respect your right to your own opinion. Peace.
