I find it very discomforting to think that death is only the beginning. I look to death as falling asleep. When you are completely, utterly deep asleep, you do not think, feel or have any state of consciousness (aside from dreams, but that is a different topic). I believe this is what death will bring: a comforting, slow, drifting return into the dimension of sleep where all feeling and consciousness simply has no place. This separate dimension is where all human minds exist and are created, and it is where our minds reside while we sleep. When we die our minds will slip back into this other dimension, bringing us a final rest from the toils of this 3 dimensional existence.
