Do people think there would be sufficient interest for a death meeting ?
Clearly not intended for megadeath and violent perspectives of death - just
a place to discuss the process of dying, accepting family members' deaths, etc.
Death is a powerful emotional (physical?) force which can help people grow
and understand their world better, if emotional energies are channeled
correctly.
May be we could sneak in some stuff about near death experiences,
(ie the famed white light at the end of that stupid tunnel - try asphyxiation
of the brain), reincarnation, interpretations of death in different
cultures, etc.
let me know
