I basically agree but would put it like this.
When we are born we forget that we are an eternal consiousness. Hence we have a deeply rooted fear of death a.k.a "The Survival Instinct" as we forget that we are much more than just physical bodies.
The trick is to make a concerted effort to "remember" that you are more than just your body long before your body wears out and/or you lose it
Then you will be able to bring more of that greater consiousness into your daily life at will 24/7 whether for guidance or just to make things go better generally.
