What if, instead of simply talking about death, we integrated it as a natural part of life and recognized that it is not an ending, but rather a transformation? Would this change our fear of dying and, from there, the way we understand life itself? Would the connotation that the word “death” carries today begin to disappear?
Dr. Juan Rodrigo Moreno is Colombian. As an intensive care physician, he works primarily in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). There, phenomena such as hallucinations, near-death experiences (NDEs), and experiences associated with the end of life have led him to question the education he received as a physician regarding death
His interest in understanding these phenomena led him to study quantum physics and Eastern philosophies. From these perspectives, he proposes that “there is continuity between a material or physical phase on this plane and an evolution that continues on different planes.” The fact that we cannot see many of these things does not mean that they do not exist, he says.
For Dr. Moreno, the fear of death is, in reality, more a fear of suffering—and the two are very different things. In his view, the sense of well-being that can arise when approaching the end of life without fear may represent an opening toward a state of complete well-being.
