Conscious Dying

Dale Borglum: How to Live So You Can Die Without Fear

Earth AncientsSep 9, 2026

Dale Borglum, a Stanford-trained mathematician turned spiritual teacher and founder of the Living Dying Project, explains how facing death consciously can transform the way we live. Drawing on decades at the bedsides of thousands of dying people, and on teachings from Ram Dass, Stephen Levine, and Tibetan Buddhism, he argues that all fear is rooted in the fear of death and that compassion and non-duality are the keys to dying without fear. Host Cliff Dunning opens with his claim that the Maya used optical sky-watching equipment at Chichen Itza's El Caracol observatory.
