Beautiful! I think Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley and Lou Reed had some of the best deaths it's possible to have. Lou Reed died in a mystic state performing the death tantra from Buddhism. Aldous Huxley died tripping on LSD.

Alan Watts wanted to die like that, but seems to have died in his sleep instead. Although - who knows? Perhaps he was awake at the end. I hope so, as he wanted that. But he had already come to term with death and realised his essential inseparability from "tathata", and had many mystical experiences throughout his life.

I don't know when I will die. But if I can choose my death, I want it to be like those beautiful psychonauts.

In a way, I am "Alan Watts" in another life. I am all lives at once. I just identify with the ones I love the most. Like David Bowie. That man was a mystic as well. He looked at death unflinchingly and turned it into art. "I'm the Great I Am", he sings in Blackstar...

Anyway, it's a beautiful thing to contemplate. Thanks for writing! You might enjoy my works on death - one is called Overlapping Re-Incarnations. The other is called Death, Amnesia and the Nature of Subjective Aliveness.
