     "... let's not forget Mr. Noel Coward so stylish and cute about death and 
      the afterlife ..." (p. 134)


      "The darkness of egoically 'self-possessed' mind after death is a whirling 
terror.
       It is not fun.
       Nor are you having fun now!
       You are not having any fun at all.
       You are just deluding yourself to reduce your anxiety.
       All your arrangements and consolations are just efforts on your part to 
reduce your anxiety.
       Yet you are right in the face of this terrible place of your confinement 
and separateness." 

        (Da Avabhasa)
