I wonder if people who have had alien experiences can help themselves to process these in a healthy way by seeing through their own fear of death?

Well I think I've had one. But you know, I can tell you for certain that what I saw was aliens, but I coulnd't tell you for certain that they were, in fact, aliens. because I can only tell you what I experienced, not what happened in the objective world. It could have been a dream. the same way that the elf that is sitting beside me telling to burn down the house might not be real. Thats why I don't listen to him.
Anyway, after REALLY getting into the UFO scene, any remaining death anxiety I had dissipated. I don't have any death anxiety atall. I look forward to the afterlife, but I will continue to have as much fun here on Earth before my times comes. The only thing I'm worried about is leaving my family behind to suffer if I die before my time. That would suck...
I know a lady who claims she has an alien chip in her elbow. Who knows? She could be bullshit, she could be sincere. She seems pretty damn comfortable though!

Aliens exist, death of awareness doesn't.
I'm sure people who have a fear of death could help themselves to process it in a healthy way through a conversation with an alien...

After watching the movie Cloverfield, I realized how much I still fear death. And aliens. That movie was hella intense!!!

The fear of death is the number one (and maybe only) obstacle on the spiritual path. I don't believe it can be eliminated. It is often sublimated. Our actions are coping mechanisms for dealing with death anxiety. Some allow a great deal of freedom to enjoy life and many others do not. I believe how we choose to cope with the idea of our death determines the quality of our life and on a larger scale how the world is experienced.

And with that the host began to move. But the Rohirrim sang no more. "Death!" they cried with one voice loud and terrible, and gathering speed like a great tide their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards.
Taken metaphorically, that is a very cool way to meet death - with resolve, unity, and the slaying of gigantic elephants.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

They are real and live in subterranean cities here on Earth, they have been stuck here in quarantine for over 10,000 years.
There are several types, the "Grays" are actually pinkish with translucent scales and have an aversion to sunlight which is why they wear the full-body suits.
Their crafts have cloaking devices but can be seen with infrared cameras.
I didn't just read this stuff in a book.
Laugh away, but disclosure is coming soon, though they may be portrayed as having just arrived...

Gotta love the Mods in P&S.
Oh Middleman. Source please? Or did you forget what forum you're in. Your reputation is on the line here as a valid member of P&S.;)

Hey I can make seemingly insane posts if I wish and still be a perfectly sane moderator. 
Just sharing my info because Cervantes asked, think of it what you will.
I'm actually a very skeptical person, I was forced to believe through seeing.
P&S needs more "eccentrics" in here who don't care what anyone says.

The move Cloverfield hints at this when one of the cast mentions a story about how an ancient fish was found in Madagascar and how the monster may have thrived deep down in an ocean trench somewhere.

Heh, Middleman... I appreciate what you're doing here... but like Ice, I'd like to see a source too... before the C.H.U.D.'s escape and it is too late.
Aew fuck it... I'll let you have this one.
Aliens DO exist.
I believe... 'cause Middleman believes too.
