Discussion After life

[catbunny]

I have been thinking so much about the after life. I was thinking about it ever since I was 5 years old because I was told by my grandma about it like "if youre being nice in this life, next life you'll have a good life" stuff like that. And also the concept of angels and demons. I don't really believe in those. But I believe in ghost as they're someone who wandering around, waiting for their turn to be reborn.

I have been thinking, what if that is the after life. Youre a wanderer, watching people but can't do anything.

Second thought, what if heaven and hell are true. When youre good enough, you'll live in cloud nine and the opposite. That leads me to another wondering:
- Imagine youre this person who is not good enough for heaven, not bad enough for hell. You're depressed and you CTB. But since you cant be heaven and cant be in hell, you suppose to be a wanderer. However, you are considered as "not appropriate life" because you CTB.
-> What if the afterlife is where you have to live in the day or the moment you die until its your turn to be reborn?

That afterlife will forever haunted me. What if I hanged myself and then for the next 100years I have to re live that moment when I can't breath and squirming for air, every single day, 24/7, for 100 years.

I don't believe in an afterlife; I believe that "jumping" to a transcendental realm is just a way humans have found to find comfort or hope for some kind of redemption. I don't see enough evidence to expect something on another plane.

It is thought-provoking, and one I wish people could be able to know for certain what happens. We can speculate all day but in the end no one really knows until you die. Personally for me I think you just experience nothingness, but what even is nothingness? the human mind can't comprehend that.

I do sometimes think about heaven, hell, and purgatory, mostly out of fear, but so many people have varying concepts that its hard to really pinpoint what is truly heaven and what's truly hell. It's pretty much a fact that when you're dying you will relive your life flashing before your eyes, but as you said what if you're still forced to relive your death? nobody knows. I don't think that'll happen though.

The concept of ghosts is interesting and one I kinda believe in, there were times where I could feel some sort of presence near me that wasn't physically there. Reincarnation is also an interesting thought, but I don't know if I really "believe" in it.

If you were a wandering ghost in afterlife for eternity that would be kind of a curse. And the concepts of heaven and hell are made by humans to maintain structure in society. They are also used to maintain power by religions. Humans didn't like the idea of them not existing so they created an afterlife.

I think either nothing happens or some form of reincarnation happens. Not in a big dramatic way but like your energy gets transferred into something or someone else (plant, animal, human etc)

There is just not one shred of evidence to support the theory of an Afterlife. Not one bit. Most normal people cannot contend with the idea of being gone forever, so they make up this possibility.

I'm not for certain where we go when die either. Growing up it was heaven or hell and once I got out of religion it was just idk. when I gave it some though over time. I just think that there is no afterlife and there will be no consciousness or awareness of ourselves in my opinion but ultimately I don't know. I hope the best for people when we all eventually die at some point. I just don't want reincarnation or rebirth. I think that I've had enough bad experiences with this reality and being on earth to know I want to be as far away from this as possible.
