Is Understanding Death the Key to Unconditional Love?

Questioner: Why do people “see the light” right at the end of their life or when they know they will die?

GC: What happens to me when I die? Is this something you want to go into to? Especially when the so-called “wise” in the world are trying so hard to prolong our lives, to live to 200 years old, or perhaps become immortal one day? Or are we so afraid of death we would rather put it off for as long as possible? When you ask, “what happens to me when I die….”, what is the me? Can we go into this, first?
