Through plain old living I have learnt all these 'lessons', have come to recognize all the 'truths' you speak of.
I am still *very* depressed.
I think what you are talking about amounts more to common sense than any magical 'awakening'. The learning process starts from day 1. The sort of 'revelation' you refer to sounds faintly religious in its content.
I wonder if this is just yr experience. You seem to suggest it is true for all people, which of course it isn't.

I fear nothing, having been on close terms with death for some time.

We agree on something! I wld however question the existence of *any* 'gOD'. ;-)
