I know how everyone here always talks about going out painlessly, instantly, or in such a state that you don't even realize that you're dying.
I don't want that.
I want to feel death come.
I want to feel the pain, I want to feel the coldness and calmness overtake me as my body and mind decide "this is it, it's over."
I want to feel the sensation that people who've had NDE's describe. That feeling of overwhelming peace and acceptance, right before they lose consciousness.
I don't claim to know about what lies after death, but assuming it's anything other than something on a spiritual level, then taking the instant way out like decapitation or something like that is robbing yourself of that last few moments of peace you will ever have. Even if it's only for a moment, you'll feel at peace. Comforted. Like it's okay, and there's nothing to be afraid of. Acceptance. That's what people with NDE's describe, and I want to slowly drift into that peaceful feeling, even if it only lasts a second.
I want to, for even one moment in my life, feel peace.
My question to you all is this: What is the best way to achieve this? Any death that isn't instant is going to be painful, so I have come to accept that I will feel pain, but I'd like to feel as little pain as possible. How can I achieve that feeling of my life slipping away, without being in sheer agony?
