Fear of the unknown is largely how you will react to it.

I do not fear the moment of death but I fear the process of dying and that fear is really mostly how I will behave.

I believe in reincarnation: that our essential being/spirit returns to the earth in another person to work out our karma. You will return again and again until you have learnt perfection. There are various instances of that, for example when you meet someone and have instant rapport or meet someone who you instantly dislike - the first means you are old friends, the second means you are old enemies.
