Another thought... It may sound like common sense to some... but I almost see humans as simply a very advanced "growth" on the surface of the Earth. We are simply life that has been allowed to evolve over millennia into conscious beings. We are just "there," no different from plants, or fungus or bacteria or rocks or monkeys or deer or anything else. We are seeing and observing the world from our perspective so it is challenging to think anything other than that we are special and are "meant to be here" but we truly are not. We are simply bacteria that has, arguably, been allowed to evolve for WAY too long. We are like an infection on the Earth in that we destroy everything around us. We're just a growth, nothing more. A complex one at that, but still just a growth.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
