It's all interesting stuff, Mccoy. I can say that I am certainly not ready to go and seem to be very much attached to the body. But I did want to give a counterpoint to think about regarding this topic. It comes fro Sri Ramana.

Deathlessness is our real nature, and we falsely ascribe it to the body, imagining that it will live for ever and losing sight of what is really immortal, simply because we identify ourselves with the body. It says in the Upanishads that the jnani looks forward eagerly to the time when he can throw off the body, just as a laborer carrying a heavy load looks forward to reaching his destination and laying it down. - Day by Day with Bhagavan, pg. 272

Sorry to interrupt. Let the discussion ensue.
