Terror of death is a biological instinct. It’s not a rational thought. You might fear death rationall, but the terror is instinct. Thinking about death stokes that terror, but we do it anyway. Kind of like how when someone tells you something smells bad, you smell it. Wait until you are sick and feel crappy. Not old and weak and dying, just in a shitty cold. If you think about death at that point in time you won’t have any terror. Fun trick. With that in mind I think this notion becomes more believable. I would suggest trying the inverse of a mind palace. Imagine the seed of the terror to be locked behind a chained up door. Before you’re allowed to experience the terror you must imagine mentally opening the door. If you don’t open the door, you can still think about death and muse upon it. You just don’t feel the terror. That’s how I got over it anyway
