My question though is what does that say about death then under his idealism? I mean he seems to think that what we are is deathless and that the self is not a permanent and unchanging thing. To me though this reeks of death anxiety.

It doesn't matter what Kastrop says about anything. He gets endorsements from the likes of Deepak Chopra, Rupert Sheldrake and Menas Kafatos. Praise from that lot ought to give you a hint regarding the worth of his output. It is metaphysics at its worst. At best it's untestable speculation. More commonly it is a wankfest.

It is really difficult to drag metaphysics further into the mud, but all of the above succeed in doing exactly that. Ignore metaphysics. The Random Deepak Chopra Quote Generator has yet to come up with a sentence that makes less sense.
