I agree with the meditation idea. Read about Zen. Try to appreciate that all the fears and problems are caused by protecting the ego, the sense of self. Zen meditation allows you to realise that this self doesn't exist, but blends in with the One self. There is therefore no death in this sense. All religious experiences I believe are basically of this unifying nature. When this feeling enters your life you become less selfish (although I lapse a good deal) and best of all unafraid of the dreaded solipsism. I've been through all of that and I'm out the other side. Perhaps this discussion should proceed in psycho-babble.health
