What do you guys think death is like?

[new.solution1]

I mean death itself, not the method of dying, such as suffocating, drowning, poisoning, etc. I mean just death, what is in common with all of the methods.

I plan on ctb through inert gas asphyxiation, which is painless and peaceful, and you die unconscious. Nevertheless, I DO NOT think the "death" part is peaceful, just everything leading up to it. I think the death part is the worst possible thing imaginable, so bad you can't even imagine it.

I want it to be peaceful, like nothing, or even magical/mystical like those near-death experiences you hear about, but I think it's not like that. Near death is NEAR death, not actual death. I think I will be conscious of my death, because I mean it's DEATH, I don't think it's something you can avoid even if I die unconscious.

What do you guys think?

 

[Versailles]

I was floating, in a deep sea, which was palpable and at the same time not, being slowly absorbed by a great black and deep abyss, gigantic in size, circular in shape, and in its surroundings they saw small objects, there were thousands of indistinguishable objects that little by little they approached that abyss, and I also approached it, I had no body, I had no organs, no, and yet I could hear, and listen perfectly to that magnanimous situation, I felt an enormous cold, a cold that didn't bother me either. I disgusted, I always knew that the void was so cold, I was losing my memories one by one, the more and more I got closer to the void, I felt calm and I didn't care what happened, I lost track of time, I knew that soon I will cease to exist

 

[new.solution1]

See, I wish death was like that, but I just can't believe it.

I just feel it is life's ultimate nightmare. Much mental anguish!

 

[MsSelfsabotage]

Have you ever been under anesthesia? I think that's what it's like. There's basically nothing. You can't remember anything. I wouldn't even describe it as darkness, it's just nothing. Or even when you fall asleep and don't have any dreams. Complete nothingness.

I like what your tag says, "Death is the orgasm of life." How did you come to that conclusion? A well known indian guru by the name of "Osho" said the same thing. But I think he also said something along the lines of that if you were not "enlightened" and "living unconsciously" death is not like that, it's a shattering of your mind's dreams and ambitions, much mental anguish. It's part of what makes me worried so much.

That's exactly what I think too, when I am thinking positively about it. I just hope that's true.

Death is merely a release from one's obligations

Ohhh man, the amount of time I have spent thinking about it that way. No more of so many of life's problems.

But I'm afraid once death hits, it's gonna be so bad I'll even miss life's problems.

 

[someonelse]

I wonder why you think it's so awful. Why would it be a nightmare for everyone? Isn't there enough suffering on Earth? What cruel god would make eternity after death a never-ending, unimaginable hell?

Hard to miss something if you don't exist to miss it. Tree falling in the woods, etc.

mare for everyone? Isn't there enough suffering on Earth?

Rest assured if there is such an entity, it will cease to exist when I am finished with it

 

[new.solution1]

I just wanted to add, I also think it's silly that somehow I'll be conscious of my death, even though inert gas asphyxiation makes you die while unconscious. While writing, I kind of felt dumbfounded that it seems kind of conflicting for that to happen, like somehow I'll "wake up" on the inside just when death comes. I don't know...

Even if you do, odds are you won't be around long enough to worry about it.

I know what you mean.

I'm also sometimes under the impression that death is instantaneous.

 

[demuic]

It's not "like" anything. It's nothing.

 

[new.solution1]

I even start thinking there is a heaven and a hell, even though I have not thought of that for so long. I feel when death is near, unconscious thoughts/false beliefs rise to the surface

 

[ssadgirl]

eu penso que seja uma enorme paz, o fim do sofrimento, do peso desse corpo de carne e tudo que há na terra, quando morremos, começaremos a viver de verdade.

 

[new.solution1]

I feel better that other people think the same positive thoughts about it as I do.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

I've always thought it was like being put under anesthesia, but sometimes I get nervous that I'm wrong. The fact that no one knows for sure is scary.

No one knows for sure but we're all going there one day so it doesn't matter. Whatever happens everyone will go through it. And I also believe it's like anesthesia.

That's what I realized a few days ago myself. But it's different when death is close, and also when you are the one that has to do its bidding.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

It still makes me uncomfortable. It matters to me.

 

[Salvation_]

I hope it's just nothingness. The concept of being in a perpetual dream you can't wake up from is terrifying, but even now I am not sure if my brain will intentionally slow down in my last moments trying to stall the inevitable end. It's scary how our perception of reality can so easily be messed with... its practically what makes the horrors of dimentia so unbearably difficult to process.

 

[Sides]

"Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ."

Permanent solution to eternal problems!

 

[Ta555]

Idk I recently had anesthetic and it was nothingness. Don't even remember being out. I find it hard to imagine death is any different. Why would it be? Anesthetic switches off your brain and you are conscious of nothing. Lack of oxygen will switch off your brain so you will also be aware of nothing. Consciousness is created by the brain, if the brain is not working you can possibly be conscious of anything, like under anesthetic.

 

[MsSelfsabotage]

No one knows what it's actually like until you go through it. What gives me comfort is that everyone HAS to go through it, so many have already "made it". As a woman I sometimes wonder what it's like to give birth, I'm scared of the pain I potentially have to go through. However I know what other women have been through it made it is comforting. You get what I mean? Others made it and I will make it too lol.

Have you guys ever heard of the woman that froze to "death"? She only made it cause she had alcohol in her blood and they were able to rescue her somehow. She was frozen for a while and when she woke up she had no memory, no nothing and she was kind of pissed knowing that she was basically dead and didn't end up somewhere else such as heaven etc.

What do you guys think?

Your brain, apparently, release lots of DMT so you go on a mad death trip as you slip away. But being dead? Can you remember how it felt 5000 years before you were born? It probably feels much like that.

 

[veryhappyhuman]

Be nice if it involves flying high over lush fields and water bodies. Always been a fantasy of mine. But no I'm guessing it'd probably be like monsters chasing me or some shit.

It can't be known, unfortunately.
