Symptoms

If you're about to die or you've taken a drug, you'll begin to notice several terrifying sensations and cosmic revelations as the phenomenal veil is ripped away, revealing for the first time since the last time you passed away from the organic world, the endless, eternal unveiled kingdom of the void.

At the same time, you'll experience a mind-numbing personal cataclysm as you're hurtled at twice the speed of light into a dark and unknown world in which everything seems almost the same as it was before, only more so.

Don't worry about those strange new sensations and cosmic thoughts. They're not important. After all, you're dead! What more can happen? After you've taken rebirth you'll be able to look back on all this and laugh.
