In answering the question, "What do you think happens when we die?", Jon Kabat-Zinn replied...that he was more concerned about what happened Before we die.
His speciality is awareness - Mindful awareness.
Is it possible that you can miss most of your life?
And, if you are not aware of yourself are you actually alive?
What is the difference between sleep and death to your awareness?
He says, that the only moment we are alive is in this moment.
The past is a memory and the future an idea.
We live in this moment. But, if you are fighting it and disagreeing with it, are you actually fighting being fully alive.
I don't believe you can make yourself unaware, but you can help with being more aware.
