As long as you fear physical death life is bound to be dominated by doom/gloom (allthough it is repressed in most cases and express itself as a general anxeity for anything real) because doom/gloom seems inevitable from that perspective. It does not matter what happens outside as all it can do is to bring up fear of physical death (which seems like doom/gloom to the ego). Transcending fear (of death) is primary to transcending doom/gloom in any form it may take. It is impossible to survive life, but it is possible to realize you are immortal.
