What do you HOPE happens after death?

[Shivani]

To be with my SO,to find the happinesses this world had deprived us of.

 

[Crushed_Innocence]

Nothing

 

[notjustyetagain]

that all suffering throughout the cosmos ends instantly and permanently.

 

[placeholder]

I hope that I can always be happy, content, peaceful and powerful.

I hope and assume what I already do. The feeling before birth. Utter nothingness. The total loss of consciousness. If you overthink trying to imagine such, you'll logically stress your mind. But think of it realistically. As you read this the neurons that allow you to acknowledge it only work so fast and also have latency. Much like a computer's network topology.

Say you had a grenade in your hand. Your brain would be too scrambled so fast for such singnals to ever be sent to it and be processed. Death is a fear created not only by your experience in society, which can include religion. But also the primal survival instinct. It's hard to combat. And you will make yourself think of worse possibilities after the fact over and over and over. I've done the same thing. But honestly. Consciousness is a mere product of chance. Ever been asleep and not aware of a dream? Ever been in a coma? Ever been not born yet? That is how it will feel. It's unfathomable from a living mind. For sure, which is what makes people scared of it I think. But that's it. You die you die.

How quick did the history of the universe pass for you till the point you gained toddler tier consciousness? I bet you can't remember your baby years. Another similar thing. Our current awareness is a product of evolutionary development and nothing more. It makes us feel we have better answers to existence when we don't. The same way before I was born, billions of years passed and maybe 2 more before I gained consciousness after birth. I feel the same is after. The universe's timeline starts and ends as soon as you lose consciousness permanently.

Well now there's a logical answer

 

[FrailPaleStaleMaleSS]

Well now there's a logical answer

Well it's good to see that someone understands the logic without letting emotion alone, contort the point. Emotions are shit. They have some benefits but they really do cloud logic and reality. And I've been victim of it myself. The "wrong" kind of thoughts that trigger a negative response because that's what youve been conditioned to do. Alot of people suffer from that.

Yeah emotions can be shitty. Wish I never had them.
People need to learn how to think logically. Including on this forum.

Well the irony for me is that my emotions lately have been fucking me to death. Maybe why I've come back here lately. But logic in society is hugely lacking. I'll post my last thread from a couple of days ago. Below. I feel it is logical too. But opinions are always good.

I think i would prefer to sleep forever. If that's not an option, I think I would prefer that our egos die and that we become part of something bigger than ourselves.

I come to think of the old Greek fable about Biton and Cleobis. They were the sons of the priestess Cydippe. When their mother wanted to see a famous temple of Hera, which was many miles away, the brothers dragged her chariot there. At the end of the long journey Cydippe prayed to Hera that her sons should receive the greatest of blessings. Hera accepted her prayers. Their reward was instant and painless death in her temple.

that all suffering throughout the cosmos ends instantly and permanently.

Including all sentient and non sentient life forms

 

[Starcitty]

I expect complete nothingness and being returned into non existence. Then all of a sudden I'm pulled out of non existence and born into another life as another life form. I just personally believe don't believe that after death nothingness is the only thing left.

 

[Soulless_Angel]

This stage confuses me, the spirtualist in believes in angels and the potential of something after, yet part of me hopes eternal sleep will be the thing that happens, yet another part of me hopes we stay in between able to watch the earth from afar not here, but not gone,
Yet im confused!

 

[Rosiel]

That all this is just a simulation/illusion after all, and there is either absolutely nothing OR just pure love and joy.

Either way, I hope that base reality has no suffering, inequality, pain or evil inflicted upon all life forms as we know it.

 

[Mizzmini45]

Nothing. I could never do this again

 

[passenger27]

I don't really care what happens as long as I find peace.

 

[Epsilon0]

I hope there is nothing after death. But if I simply cease to exist, then I won't know I'm dead, and I would so much like to know it's over.

I am a bit torn. Or... actually no. I hope there is nothing after death.

 

[MarkForres]

I sincerely hope for that there's no heaven, hell, reincarnation, or anything like that. In fact, I'm also a bit scared to die and feel absolutely nothingness. But if I had to choose which one to be real, then I would pick nothingness because it's the one that I dislike the least. At this point, I want to move on and forget all the painful things, but I'm too scared that if I do, I'll lose my identity and my sense of self. If I could have it both ways, that would be my heaven after death.

 

[Delia]

Oh god hopefully nothing I'm sick of this lifing bullshit already

 

[Egddios]

Nothingness.

Release from suffering. The deepest sleep, the pain has finally stopped. Being free, in its truest form.

 

[1DayItWillBover]

What a great post by the topic creator. Actually made me tear up..

Thanks again.

 

[justwantdeath]

I hope to reunite with my grandparents and spend eternity with the Lord. I posted this next bit in another thread, but I'll post again here. Say there is no afterlife. The big bang started the universe, and the universe will likely return to a singulaity again in a few billion years, and then another big bang will occur, and this will repeat indefinitely. Eventually, you will be born again with 100% certainty into some life form, even if it takes trillions of repetitions of the big bang and the big crunch, and eventually, you will live as an intelligent being again, even if it takes quadrillions or more big bangs for you to come into existence. So there can't be nothingness for eternity, only a change in consciousness. It will be like going to sleep and waking up as a child with no memories.

 

[lostangel]

I HOPE for a few things
1. Reincarnation but you get to choose what you look like and how your life will be ( I know that will never happen because if I died in a previous life why would I choose a life like this)
2. Heaven. I'm not really religious but I hope I can see all the great people we have lost in this world. Would also like to ask God why he made so many people suffer.
3. Nothing. Honestly, I'll take this because not being conscious and just laying there sounds appealing to me.

 

[FreedomInDeath]

Too be reincarnated into a better life, wiser from this one. Healthy brain and body. Able to have a fighting chance at success and good relationships.

Take a look at Dr. Ian Stevenson's work. The evidence he presents is strongly indicative of reincarnation.

 

[mesohappy]

I hope that its nothing..Just no thoughts,no visions...Black,fade to black.Forever.

 

[iki]

Nothing

 

[Trisolaris]

I hope nothing happens. My consciousness will be gone and it'll be the same as before I was born.

 

[S1mpleme]

I hope that when we die, we actually wake up as our true real selves, in the real world. We realize that what we just experienced was a simulation, like a dream, and we remember who we really are and that the real world is a perfect place without suffering.

I don't think so. When we die we won't wake up and there is nothing after, no feelings, no thoughts, no time, we won't exist.

 

[WhyIsLife56]

I don't think so. When we die we won't wake up and there is nothing after, no feelings, no thoughts, no time, we won't exist.

Yeah people should be more aware of what happens when the brain dies. When the brain(consciousness) dies out, so does "you"
