fear of reincarnating.

[Squalo]

besides the survival instinct, the only thing that stops me from committing suicide is the fear of a possible reincarnation, does that ever happen to you?

I'm aware of the fact that millions of people on this earth are much more unfortunate than I am, and it frightens me that after my suffering life another even sadder and more difficult one will happen; I'm afraid to think that after CTB I will be punished with a worse life, in the midst of a war under the bombs or in a very poor country where I have to fight for a piece of bread, this world really sucks.
it's a fear that I don't know how to eliminate because I have no idea what there is after death, I envy people who are certain that there is nothing.

 

[Suicidebydeath]

No idea what happens after ctb is one of the reasons I find it difficult to ctb. Things could always get worse.

I don't know if its helpful, but eventually everyone dies, there is not a person that has lived that doesn't die at some point. I don't think people would get punished for suicide. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, it's more likely it's a random lottery. Reincarnation doesn't make sense anyway, the population of the human race is variable, and the population of all living things is also variable. Reincarnation would mean that the number of souls that exist at any time would have to be variable. So reincarnation isn't plausible to me.

It would be nice to think its karma-based but I don't know why my life is so fucked up then. It's a mixture of extreme goods and extreme bads and generally horrible all around.

 

[madebrief]

I can't remember having a life before so I won't have a life after.

Reincarnation, to me, has been created by people who are scared of dying and convincing them there is another life after.

Death is like sleep.

How about this......as you have lived a painful life up to the present. Then shouldn't you have paid back a lots of bad karma ALREADY? That being so then with less karma to be repaid, shouldn't your next life be better? I have lived for over 60 very painful years, so I believe that I have paid back enough karma that my next life must be better than this. I

In my head I've romanticised reincarnation so that I'm hoping if it does exist then I come back as someone happy with life & free from torment. That said, if it does exist, I sincerely hope I don't pop up again as me!! Living an endless cycle as me would be unbearable.

 

[madebrief]

If I came back as me again, I think I would take it and correct the mistakes I've made along the way esp the severity of it. Just an ill mind to be fixed if possible before it got worse.

I'd happily come back as anything provided the life span is short! Like a mayfly, dragonfly, bee or something.
Can't win at the game of life. At the end, we all die.

 

[StolenLife]

I honestly want nothing more to do with the me of this lifetime. I want my memories gone. Reincarnation at this point is more preferable to the christian idea of heaven. I just wish for a completely different existence. Or no existence at all. Just get it over with this lifetime.

 

[eldiablo666]

Reincarnation is very real

Unfortunately

 

[FuneralCry]

To me reincarnation is just a fictional concept. It sounds beyond horrifying but I don't fear it as I don't believe that it exists. I take comfort in the thought of being dead as I believe death to simply be nothing, we won't even be aware that we are dead.
But there really is no point to fearing death as after all we will all die eventually, it's our inevitable fate.

 

[actual_fox]

You have to look into people who believe It and don't believe in reincarnation, and If you choose former then you have to know how to avoid reincarnation. But If you choose former and you were wrong and don't know what to do then you will be screwed. But If we just atoms then you will be ok (gone done and not being).

Look into hard problem of consciousness

Spoiler: Something woo woo If you REALLY want to feel safe about reincarnating

There is a spectrum- like some people believe that there is afterlife but do not believe that reincarnation is natural, some people believe that we die and that is It, some are religious (ignore them XD ) and some woo woo spiritual (5D crystals, love and light and shit- they believe we are here to learn and also in reincarnation- please do not believe them at face value. they are dangerous).

 

[Unhirable]

You don't have to fear anything because reincarnation is made up bullshit.

It came from Asian religions but Asians don't really believe in their religions the same way christians, muslims and jews do.

the whole concept of reincarnation was developed as a thought experiment to make the average person think "hm maybe i should treat this cow better because it could've been a human or become a human, etc. etc."

It's like this whole bullshit about "multiverses" we have nowadays. Not a real thing just something humans made up because its an interesting concept.

 

[Sad_Sack]

I would love to start my current life over again but without the health issues that have made it torture for the last 30 years. I had problems before that but there were still so many things I loved in life. Every one of my children were born after my health issues which include cognitive problems and I never got to enjoy them as myself. I never got to be with them without weird neurological issues blurting and warping it all. If I could die and just have my life over without this it would none true heaven.

 

[klonoaencore]

I want to reincarnate as some cave spider.

Why cave spider and not black widow?

Why cave spider and not black widow?

I want to live in the dark and never be seen.

 

[Darkover]

what the odds of existing 400 trillion in one
It's infinitesimally small: about 1 in 400 trillion, apparently. What does this mean? Well for one — with odds of winning the lottery at 1 in 300 million, this means that the likelihood of you being born equates to winning the lottery 1.33 million times.

 

[bigbeatmanifesto]

I have this irrational fear that I'm stuck in some sort of loop, doomed to repeat my life for all eternity. However I know this is just my survival instinct thinking of reasons for me to not ctb.

I have a really good friend who's very intelligent who also believes in reincarnation, and it doesn't take much for me to poke holes in her theories.

It's ultimately devoid of rationality and the 'spiritual' people who believe in it cannot see its just another way the ego tries to find a sense of self I.e it doesn't want to admit it will one day die, so concocts this believe it will go on for all eternity.

 

[eldiablo666]

I want to live in the dark and never be seen.

You can do that now too

 

[almaranthine]

Nah, reincarnation doesn't scare me, if it's real. Whether I kill myself or die as "fate" intended it I will still be recycled back into this world against my will. It's like when you're playing a video game and you fuck up on a low level and lose a life too early so you purposefully die to restart the game to have a better chance next time. I see nothing wrong with that and if the "powers at be" do then I don't care either because they don't have the decency to let me choose life to begin with.

 

[Dark Moon]

Reincarnation also holds me back for the same reasons. I watched a couple of youtube videos and a few people had remembered there past lives, so it's possible.

I personally don't want to be reincarnated and go through everything again.

 

[freevoid]

Wether or not it's real, it could be a good idea to plan accordingly. That's what I'm doing. Better to think it's real and be prepared for any tricks than be shuttled back here again. Look in r/escapingprisonplanet as well as videos by Akvile Sava on how to avoid soul traps, reincarnation, how to create your afterlife after death etc. If you have the money you could even book in a session with her.

I sincerely hope there is nothingness after this but I've had a miserable enough go of this life that I'm not taking any chances of a repeat. Costs me nothing to prepare. Belief is irrelevant IMO.

I have a real hard time even imagining that anything happens after life. I just don't know how other people are able to see or believe in it. I respect other peoples view on this topic though, it's just impossible for me myself to see this as a real threat or possibility? I don't know why.

 

[October112021]

I absolutely don't believe in spiritual reincarnation. There's no core self; even your brain has mostly replaced its original cells by age thirty.

What I do fear is quantum level fuckery, or eternal recurrence as a set property of r universe. There are all sorts of physicalist, naturalistic forms of an afterlife mostly contingent on the existence of a multiverse or a repetitive cyclical universe.

 

[noalarms]

If I were to be reincarnated, I would CTB again if I felt the urge to. If CTB never crossed my mind, then I would be living a happy life. So all in all, reincarnation isn't as scary as it seems.

 

[planningmyexit]

I really hope it's just lights out.

 

[theboy]

Imagining what will happen after death is wonderfully dark.

 

[Banshee]

Do you remember being someone else? How about a salamander? Do you have vivid memories of soaring the skies as an eagle or a greasy seagull? If not, who cares? If you're reincarnated, you'll most likey not know it anyway.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Isn't reincarnation just a scare tactic invented to keep people frorm killing themselves? More pro-life crap.

Think that's the issue I have with reincarnation though- the vast majority of us don't remember our past lives. If it's supposed to be some big learning exercise, why wipe our memories before we are born again?

Guess what I'm trying to say is- if all of us are reincarnated as ourselves, (fundamentally- not biologically obviously) in order to 'improve' ourselves and correct our mistakes/faults- we're at a massive disadvantage because we don't realise what they are until they happen again.

I don't know. Maybe the soul is learning each time round and getting 'better'. There again, looking around- are people getting any nicer? Maybe I'm just pessimistically biased but I'd say no. Maybe the souls at the top of the class get reincarnated some place else.

Hmmm, what a lovely thought- live for a day or two and then go. Not sure I actually want to experience anymore life though- in any form.

 

[makethepainstop]

I'll be glad to reincarnate IF I'm male, blond hair blue eyes, at least 6'6, into an uber rich family that loves me. I want to be a singer, musician and actor, now if I could have all of that and be mentally and bodily healthy....I'd be telling God, "Let's do this!" If not then guess I'd have to ctb again and again until I get the life I want.
