Also another source of my puzzlement is this- why do so many people including many on this forum consider it negative to talk about sudden death scenario.

Certain topics seem to strike a nerve with people. Death is one such topic. For some, the thought of death might seem smooth and painless, whereas for others it might trigger fear, or, at the very least, discomfort. Then there is the question of, not just the death itself, but the process of death, which may involve pain of both self and loved ones. Case in point: Those who exit via disease often fear the physical pain as the body deteriorates, even if they don't fear the transition itself. Their loved ones experience emotional pain as they observe the process.

And, the thought of just 'ascending' without a physical death is glamorous.

Of course some people will be terrified hearing about this information but not on this forum, right?

You'd think. But such isn't the case. We can't assume that everyone on this forum will receive information in the same way we do. What might be obvious to one might be totally incomprehensible to another. What might be comforting to one might be fear-inducing to another. Even on this forum.

we know that the life continues even if the body dies. It is like changing clothes for the soul. Leaving old 3D and wearing new 3D or 4D clothes. right?

We know that intellectually. But I'd venture to say we'd all run, with the same degree of terror, if chased by a tiger.

Besides, if I am leaving this body in 2/3 years then I would rather know right now so I can live accordingly. Spend all my savings, leave my job and start traveling to the world wide sacred sites. I wish I knew for sure...

Then maybe it's better that we don't know. That way, we can continue to help others. (For example, maybe there is someone at that 'job' who might benefit from something we share with them, or maybe that job is helping a lot of people in some way, and we play a role in that.) Whereas, if we knew the date of our own transition, we might not get done the tasks we came here to do.
