okay I can try to translate for you..

+meltingEyeballs As much as our illusions of life's attachments are, are attachment to life creates an illusion of death. What science is unable to explain, doesn't mean an explanation doesn't exist. Death represents your final stage of development into the next experience.

meltingEyeballs You can't even be certain of that. We might invent ways to be immortal and it may turn out that the universe will never end.

Rather than panicking, buy a personal panic alarm and let it do the panicking for you. Mobiles also help.

Why are you so afraid? Don't worry, it will most probably never happen. Go back to the source. Where this fear generated and why? But.. it could be a fear generated from another life. In this case, consider doing and hypnosis or autohypnosis session. Many things may come up and you can get rid of this fear. :Good luck

Why is it bad to have fear of a possibility of something very painful, even if the likelihood is "small"?

opticrainbow I'm not sure I understand, are you asking why is it bad to have fear? It's not bad if that's what you choose and want to do, but I wouldn't choose that for myself. (I am someone who has lived with the fear of being kidnapped as a child because I lived in a country where these things happened often. But I chose to stop being afraid when I was 10 no matter what, because it stopped me from living my life.. I couldn't even go out to play with my friends because I was contstantly terrrified of being taken away from my parents.) According to what I have learned (it might be wrong of course) but fear is bad because it generates more fear. We create our realities with decisions made out of love or out of fear and most of the time they are unconscious (unless we're always mindful). It's not about the likelihood.. it's about living with fear. Quoting Ajahm Brahm's words from his talk on fear: " When we're afraid, we panic and when we panic we made what we're afraid of come true." I'm not saying you'll be kidnapped or something and even if you are it will probably be so much less painful that the one you're already imagined. The advice I always give to myself is to solve the problems once they happen. If nothing is happening now yet, there's nothing to solve so I might as well not think about it at all. :)

I don't what level someone is feeling or thinking Hopefully this should cover most bases. On an mental level with or without fear: There are negative possibilities; of these,they may be irrational or rational. If irrational- just realize and affirm that whatever is safe(e.g harmless spiders). If rational there ones one can do something about(e.g, lock your door) or ones you can do nothing about(e.g. I get on a bus and it crashes) -so just accept- so what if it happens it happens- tough shit. From a conceptual level it is better to think in a more positive focus; for example ,I want this to be safe, rather than I don't want this to happen. Otherwise, you may be making a rumification into a negative mind set On an emotional level(unless it is a migraine) make friends with your emotions and tame them. - Thank you fear(from kidneys) for looking out for me, its fine now you can chill, Anger(from liver) is a bit like calming a barking dog -easy boy it will be OK. Some spiral belly massage may help to calm, tame these bringing Unity of this energy into the center(tantien).

Its been a while since I watched it. But I remember him talking about mundane everyday "bad" things that happen. Like getting a speeding ticket. He talks about it being a recation to somethig you have done. But when you lose a child... or some other terrible thing happens. Then how does it help to know you must have done something really bad to deserve it? And thinking that way will only make things worse.
