I've been considering the same thing and honestly I'm not sure our tiny minds (though full to us) can comprehend it if there is anything to follow. When you consider the infinity of space and how inconceivable that is to us, well it puts things in perspective. We may be self aware and that is some gift but it's also a curse. The rest of nature is cruel but just. It's survival but not much else although there is clearly some 'love' in animals we have yet to really define that in itself so it could just be a simple factor of nature that we as selfish self aware humans tend to over complicate in a bid for meaning. If we reap what we sow in some kind of afterlife we may never actually be aware of it and I don't necessarily imagine it would be hear on earth if we did. When you think of reincarnation for example, it just does make a lot of logistical sense. There the lottery of being the one sperm to make it into an embryo. That in itself comes with a massive failure rate. Then there's the possibility of species or even becoming a plant or a germ. Or we could just be fertiliser in the perpetual motion machine of life in our tiny world that feels all encompassing. We're a pin head of data in a consmos of possibility. We just don't know is the simple answer. And we either will or wont find out.

But me too, I would also like to know. I fear it would pop my mind though. So I'm happy assuming we just end and that's that. I think. I should stop thinking.

I am convinced that on the other side there is nothing, if not, absolute emptiness, everything that begins must end, and this is exemplified in many ways. This is something that is difficult to understand often because "absolute emptiness" and "nonexistence" are two concepts that are difficult for people to assimilate.

Look into nonduality and hinduism. Who are you? Who is the one that dies? Are you the body or the mind? Read the book 'I am that', do self-inquiry and some mantra meditations, etc. The only way to get true answers is through direct experience of your true nature. I can't tell you too much since I just started on this path but I wish you the best. The bible says seek and you shall find.

Reincarnation and afterlife are fictional concepts. There is no evidence of such things existing. I am looking forward to becoming nothing, just like before I was born. Non existence is the complete absence of suffering. To me death is freedom from a horrible life.
I hope you find the peace you are looking for.

Of course there are those who believe that after we die our brains just switch off and life ends. I think most people feel that's what happens after death or that if any part of us survives we won't be aware of conscious of our survival after death.

Then there are those, sane, intelligent, logical, credible people, who report having after death communication with people they were connected to after those people have passed on.

And then we have people who have had what are known as a near death experience and they assure us that our consciousness does survive, that we all return to our true home, that we go into what is known as "the light" or the "the source", that this a blissful place that offers a sense of love, peace, redemption and healing that is so profound that it is impossible to describe.

A lot of near death accounts sound very strange and are obviously products of a person's psyche but then again some of these accounts sound pretty compelling. Especially when what happens during these experiences and the messages they receive can be verified by independent parties.

As far as God, or "the source", having a special punishment set aside for those who die by suicide? That is false according to those who are more spiritually attuned, more intuitive and who've had near death experiences.

I believe that either way, whether there is survival after death or not, we don't have anything to fear or anything to worry about.

It only makes sense once you die, the brain dies and everything that came with you. Nothing but peace. I like it. Earth is just survival and after that death is nothing. I see everything as pointless once noticing this.

 

[PeacefulTonic]

I wish I had the answer. Nobody knows until they ctb and get there

 

[Death is beautiful]

I have a derealization, because of which I can't believe anything, I even doubt the reality of what is happening, but I try to be inclined to the fact that nothing is waiting for us, just emptiness

Reincarnation deeply scares me.
I mean, imagine if after death is just like before birth, oblivion then boom your soul get picked or whatever, you get a body and start another life on earth a bit farther in the chronology than your previous life, and there you go, you do it all over again, a bit differently sure, a different era maybe another country and socioeconomic backgrounds but you struggle through life once more, then die, then reincarnate again, and again and again... And you keep trying your best at life bc ''you only live once'' except you actually keep getting another life every time, then another and another and another and you're not even aware of it, you just keep living over and over and over again, you're trapped and you don't know it, it never stops, there's no escape

For what it's worth, those who come very close to death and near death experiences and say they have been to the other side have stated that reincarnation or coming back is a matter of choice.

However, a lot, not all but a lot, of these near death experiences are bizarre and are obviously the products of people's psyche and subconscious. And I think the idea of reincarnation come from these experiences.

If Heaven or the other side is as loving and as healing as these near death experience-ers say it is I cannot imagine that being reincarnated would be forced upon anyone.

People have claimed to have had past lives but these experiences cannot be scientifically verified. The human brain is capable of so much, so much that we are not aware of.

So, there is a very good chance that many paranormal experiences are a product of the human mind.

Right now science and medicine don't really know how consciousness works. But they may get to the point where they do understand it better and are able to explain why near death experiences happen and explain why people believe they've been reincarnated.

And more than likely it will have nothing to do with dying and then being forced back into this life.

For the most part, those who claim to have experienced the divine, say that it is a beautiful experience, there's nothing to fear and that our energy simply becomes a part of everything.

I hate the idea of ever repeating this life. Reincarnation is a very unhealthy idea and those who want to tell us about reincarnation or make money claiming they know that reincarnation is a fact of the afterlife may not even understand the true concept of reincarnation.

When we die our energy leaves our body and as far as anyone can tell our energy just becomes a part of everything.

That sounds more like the true definition of reincarnation.

but you won't know about it, every time you forget about your past life and start living anew, reincarnation is like non-existence

Thanks, i sure hope i can give my opinion before having to live again lmao, i don't actually believe in reincarnation or any specific afterlife for that matter, i just thought that the idea of living life after life with no awareness of this whole ordeal was pretty dreadful, sounds more like a curse of something.

Yeah, i do think that in extreme situation you can't control your brain will try to distract you from the distress by showing you something relaxing/what you what to see.
As for paranormal it's really interesting to read about that actually, most of the times those occurrences are results of environmental factors like toxins, illnesses, animals, building layout/decay, etc...

 

[BeansOfRequirement]

Well, we do know what happens with the body. And we have no good evidence for anything but the body existing. Not saying that nothing else exists, but I'm assuming it doesn't.

 

[lonerclown666]

I would like to feel safe but I see that it is not possible in something as complex as death
death is final im ok with that

 

[lifecouldbedream]

I love life very much so I hope reincarnation is real. I want to enjoy the good things in life without the stresses of a horrible one.

 

[existtosuffer]

I genuinely hope it's in complete nothingness. I tried out floatation tanks before & it was the closest I've felt to being dead. Blissful.

But just like everything I've experienced in life. The novelty always wears off.

Science has done a great service to humanity and continues with its discoveries. Eliminating superstitions, controlling diseases, reducing the mortality rate, prolonging life. If we analyze, science is not absolute, advances occur between errors. In the early 1900s, many inventors and patent offices in the U.S. said "there was nothing left to invent." In the 1980s, chemists said that "there were no more elements to be discovered." Today, with the discovery of antimatter and the development of quantum physics, which, according to them, claim that (there is no time and space). I do not trust the determinism and absolutism of science, I love science, not blindly.
With these new discoveries, the theory of relativity began to be questioned. So I believe that if there is a scientist to debate about the afterlife, they will remain in the shadows so that they are not ridiculed and excluded from the scientific community falling into disrepute.

 

[ThisIsNotMeR]

This is an interesting thread, I hoped to find something like this.

It is my personal belief that after death comes nothingness, a state like that before you were born. It makes the most sense, after all, you had no awareness before you were born, so why should you retain it after death? Why would the universe constantly create new consciousnesses, but never destroy them? I quite like this idea.

But then, there is certainly something magical about consciousness itself, I can't believe it is merely an emergent phenomena birthed entirely by our physical brains. As a physics undergraduate myself, I know just how incomplete science can be, and I'm not sure consciousness is something that can be explained by science. As such, also I wouldn't find it too hard to believe in an "afterlife", or at least something that isn't nothingness. I just hope that that something, should it exist, is pleasant. Honestly, I'd be lying if I didn't feel a little giddy thinking about seeing for myself something untouched by science, be it by my own hands or otherwise.

At the very least all reports of near-death experiences are rather positive. So I don't think there is anything to fear
