Soul- after death

[Iwantodiepleasehelp]

What happens to soul after death? Does soul exist? Are we reborn or do we suffer for our sins in next life? Is there a hell or heaven?

 

[Someone123]

Near death experiences, ndes, are pretty convincing to me that there is an afterlife, but people's experiences vary a lot. There are many nde videos on youtube that offer some insights.

 

[Sherri]

I sincerely hope I just fall asleep and that's it, hope the soul dies ,wouldn't like my soul to still be wondering about. Living it's already a daily struggle. Hope there is not a soul after I die.

 

[FuneralCry]

I think that there is nothing after death, when we lose consciousness that is it for us, we are gone. Death is an end to all suffering and it is true peace. Nothing can hurt me once I am dead.

Mnay near death experiences express a feeling of euphoria and love that is way past anything experienced in this world- wouldn't you rather have that than to not exist?

With all respect, personally I would just like to stop existing. But that's me, I respect your point of you .

I feel the same way. Additionally, there are a *lot* of different afterlives people believe in. What's to say we get a version that appeals to us? I'd rather not chance it and just be done and that's it.

People always talk about that white light they see in a near death experience , I think that light is the huge light that hospitals have above our head and body when they are performing a surgery, just wondering…. Have you seen the movie the lovely bones? If after life was like that , then I would change my mind.

My guess is that whether there is an afterlife or not is not a choice we make- many people who hoped for or expected nothing found euphoria and love after this life even if they didn't want it- these stories are posted on youtube- maybe i believe them too easily, but they do seem true to me.

 

[Snake of Eden]

What i believe in that most people consciousness will be put on pause like anaesthesia until they are brought back to life again to receive their eternal life after being audited for their actions and impact on others good and bad and accordingly they will be rewarded or not. I think most people have nothing to worry about if they are not outright malignant and harmful to others. I dont thinks suicide is optimal but i dont think it will be punished with hell because it is not fair outcome for those who couldnt carry on in this life

It's all about point of views.

I have not watched that movie, but I just read the description of it. That sounds like a great afterlife! I think ill give it a watch.

I think for me what I really imagine for an afterlife is basically the same as the beforelife. I wasn't suffering then, so I imagine I won't be suffering after either.

 

[Somber]

Would be nice if not existing was an option.
However I doubt the existence of time permits it.

Yes give it a watch, it's very nice that movie. Personally I keep on hoping not to come back again when I'm gone.

That's exactly what I wish it happens, beautifully written.

 

[Death is beautiful]

I don't understand why people think that there should be something after death, death is the destruction of your body, after that there should be nothing, when consciousness doesnt work a person cant perceive this world, when we are unconscious we do not feel anything, the same thing will happen after death, but already forever

The soul doesn't exist. Your consciousness dies when the brain dies. The end. The whole idea of being judged and all that shit after you're dead...it's just made up by people because the random harshness of life is hard to deal with. We're just animals, biological machines. And when we die, everything about us dies with us.

 

[Muse]

To reborn would be an horror.

 

[Cockney_Rebel]

You reincarnate.

See you on the other side.

I think the idea of reincarnation resonates with me the most . It's cool I guess . What scares me is being reincarnated into this same life , having the same experiences . If so , I'll just have to CTB over , over , & over again . Until whatever's in charge gets tired of my shit.

We've all made mistakes in life.

If you come back as yourself, in this world, you can just adjust.

I love the thought of being reincarnated in a parallel universe.

The possibilities are endless. That's what I find so alluring.

Not necessarily. If you're reincarnated you won't have any memory of your past life, unfortunately . How could I know to fix these things if I'm not aware ?
If I were to be reincarnated with all the knowledge I have now & have the ability to right all my wrongs or avoid all things that made my life so miserable. I would love that .

No one has a definitive answer. But IMHO, Id believe whatever I want to believe to give me a peace of mind if its my last day on earth.

 

[MissMySuzanne]

In my opinion, belief in an afterlife is simply wishful thinking. Many people can't imagine eternal death, so they imagine continued existence of some sort after earthly death. Other people grieve so much for a lost loved one that they're willing to have blind faith in a heaven where they'll eventually reunite. Belief in an afterlife is beneficial because it provides hope and and helps mend broken hearts. But in the end, death is forever. We'll be in the same state we were the billions of years before we were conceived--nothingness, non-existence. No pain, no dreams, no awareness. Although I have daily suicidal ideations, the thought of eternal death sometimes makes me reconsider offing myself. Since I have just this one life to live, why not hang on a while longer? The way time passes so quickly, I'll be dead forever soon enough anyway.

I really hope we do I'd do anything to see my mom again

Many near death experience videos on youtube, which seem credible to me, show that when the body dies the soul keeps on living- and in most cases goes to a much happier place. Ndes vary, though, so who knows for sure what will happen. SO it's really being reborn but instead it's a person's body continuing to live after their body dies.

With all due respect, how can we be judged if we had our upbringings and genetics forced upon us?

The soul is just a metaphor for our personality, which is all contained in our brain. If you hack a part of the brain off then the personality will change permanently in measurable ways. Does the soul remain untouched? I just don't understand this.

The answer to "why not hang on a little longer?" should all come down to whether that hanging out is bearable enough. I often just think instead, "okay so if it's forever sleep and I'll be there anyway, why hesitate with this? Especially since I do not know how measures against ctb will ramp up in the future".

I have alluded about my opinion on this in this thread. If you feel like asking question to go deeper into the topic i will be happy to answer it there. https://sanctioned-suicide.net/thre...ing-equilibrium-principle.82473/#post-1474187

When I was 10 I was clinging to life in icu for over a month. I will never forget "dreams" I had that seemed so real and would be very bizarre for a 10 yr old growing up in US with normal life. The "dream" that still bothers me at 42, I was in a war hospital on a cot on the floor, the room filled with a lot of cigs, patients full of blood and screams. Just odd

You get reincarnated a slime named Rimuru Sama

This topic comes up nearly every day on here! Only you can decide what you ought to believe. Most people just believe in whatever they are told, or nothing at all.

We'll all find out sooner or later. If your beliefs cause you to be a better a person in life that's a definite plus imo. But if they only bring you peace of mind I guess that's good enough.

No afterlife, no spirit, no soul, no judgement, no punishment or reward, no heaven or hell, no higher or lower realms, no karma or reincarnation, no repercussions, no journey hereafter, no importance to anything done in life once it's over, no dark, no light, no bad, no good, no in-between, just the same permanent and absolute 'nothingness' for everyone... somehow I doubt it, but that would be nice. It would be particularly great for all the Hitlers, and mass murderers, you could just do whatever you like in life, cause unbelievable suffering and harm, be as selfish and greedy as possible, rape pillage and plunder, and then enjoy the same eternal nothingness that others get who made many sacrifices, helped others, and devoted their lives to some kind of greater good.

...I strongly feel like death is just the beginning of something inconceivable to us, but that's just me.
