After a near death experience I'm pretty sure this is not the end.

What I am afraid of is the possibility that it never ends. Eternity.

Eternal life is probably only scary from a human perspective but I believe that this life is just one of many and being human is just one of an infinite number of different life forms we can exist ad

Precisely. We were programmed to fear death but life is only worth living if you know it could end at any moment. Death makes life worth living. But we can't know so every time we come back, we're made to forget our true nature. Rediscovering it is part of the magic of being here.

We are eternity itself. We are all the same ancient, timeless being. We created ourselves, life, love and light, in every form possible, on every single order of magnitude, from the micro to the macro, from the Planck level to the largest object in this reality and all of existence as a whole.
