Discussion What do you think happens after death and what do you wish for?

[nosoul]

This may just be wishful thinking on my part but I personally believe that there will be some kind of life after death and that death is only a transition into that next journey after this life. For myself, I would like it if I were able to live in a sandbox kinda universe where I can do whatever I want and live through any scenario I can think of. Kind of like lucid dreaming. But I have a sinking feeling that if there is a life for me after this one, it isn't going to be as peaceful or pleasant as I wish it to be.

This is my concern as well, will my Christian relatives send me to hell? I have not done terrible things, but I've not done many good with my time here.

When people pass out from fainting it just goes black, but upon death it may be something more. I made a fatal error with drugs where I can't eat sleep and thinking is getting worse, my coordination etc, dreams I had on Earth are over,I may find put very soon.

 

[Azora]

The notion that death will grant you "peace" or "rest" is a fallacy. There is no such thing as an experience of nothing. When you are asleep your brain is still active and thinking, which is why you feel the passage of time. When you are put under anesthesia during surgery, no time passage is felt when you wake up.

After death, you will not experience peace, or any other positive feeling for that matter, nor will you end anything, because nothingness is something that is either inconceivable or impossible. Hence, there must be an afterlife.

 

[LigottiSchopenhauer]

What I hope for: infinite nothingness, a peaceful blank nullity like a permanent dreamless sleep.

What I expect: to relive my live over and over again infinitely, like Rust Cohle describes in this video:

 

[Tartuffe]

Nothing

And i wish I could wake up with these memories in 2018

 

[mission]

Part of me wants what it seems so many here want- to cease to exist, to be in a sleepy void forever. The other part wants to think that a second shot at life with different circumstances is appealing. Who knows.. we will all find out eventually, I suppose.

 

[unplug]

I don't wish for anything afterwards. I'd rather be unaware for the rest of eternity.

 

[StaticCryBabye]

I believe it's like having a really deep sleep without dreams and im a massive reincarnation believer i wished for my next other self just to be happy and not end up being the same shitty person in his past life

 

[aomame]

My biggest fear is reincarnating. If that happens I will become a buddhist monk in my next life and reach nirvana so that I won't reincarnate again.

 

[rtdpete]

there's evidence of reincarnation and we all have been there before..good and bad lifetime. right now my life is survive and thought of sudice so many times but due to individuals can't do it.

 

[nosoul]

Forgiveness, another chance to play music

 

[WorthlessCoward]

What I think will happen: Eternal Oblivion
What I wish it would happen: Eternal Oblivion

What spiritualism has taught me *might* happen: You never die, you just go to another dimension and before that you may enjoy some "years" of happiness and contentment
Not gonna lie, a weakly and faggy part of me wouldn't mind the contendentment

 

[palesky]

i hope its like sleeping, but you cant wake up and there are no dreams

 

[Kodokushi]

Did you ever lose consciousness? I think it's that. Just black out and that's it

 

[hag]

I think there's nothing at all.

 

[Itz_d3p]

In my opinión we just poof and there's nothing more

 

[ThatFlyGuy]

I believe that once you die thats it's nothing more nothing less. So I want that because living again or experiencing anything is not the shit I'd want to deal with when I die.

 

[Octavia]

Whatever happens after death, I really hope that gender dysphoria does not exist there. I am perfectly fine with the idea of getting roasted for eternity, but dysphoria is a type of misery that I would not wish even upon the worst person that ever existed.

 

[Nanako]

Nothing hellish, I hope. I'll happily settle for "nothing".

 

[Kundalini Guy]

Reincarnation. I hope in my next lifetime I am not so lonely and insane, just being mentally stable and with people whom I get along with is enough.

 

[Torch]

I very strongly believe that of course we just permanently cease to exist where we won't even have awareness of the fact that we are gone and that is certainly what I wish for. To me it sounds so incredibly ideal being able to not exist, as death is the absence of all harm and suffering, death solves what the true problem is which is life in itself. I see no value in being trapped in this hellish world so of course I've always wished for non existence.

Words can not describe how much I strongly agree with this, and how strongly I hope this is what happens once you CTB.

 

[Forever Sleep]

Ideally, I'd like a brief reunion with all my loved ones who have already passed- I suppose that's heaven but I certainly don't want to live there forever- or- anywhere else. In other ways, I'd prefer there to be nothing and I feel like that that's most likely.

Although- like you- I worry what my brain will conjure up in my last moments. I don't really believe that hell is a real place but I'm certain I can imagine/dream I'm there. I suppose the same goes for heaven. I personally think these 'visions' will only last as long as my brain does but I suppose my perception of time could feel much longer- like in a dream. Still- if it is like a dream, I won't be fully conscious of it, so- maybe there's less to worry about.

 

[DeathToSpiesSMERSH]

I think I would want to roam the world as I've always seen myself, transient and fading in nature, invisible to the naked eye

 

[CemetryGates]

I would wish that I become a ball of light just travelling there space and time, with the permanent feeling of bliss

 

[wiltingorchid]

I think that it maybe is like sleeping but without dreaming. I wish, and happily also think that this will be very peaceful.

 

[BringMeToLife]

I wish for reincarnation.

 

[charlotte_]

I wish for an eternal peaceful sleep, where nothing could ever bother me again. If there is an afterlife, I sure wish that I will get a better life there. A life where I don't have a fuck ton of mental illnesses

 

[NorthernMonkey]

I don't know if you can read this outside of the UK but there is a really interesting article out today about a man using a hallucinogenic drug to connect with his teenage daughter who died. If you search After Life, Ben Goldsmith, you should find it. He has also written a book called God is an Octopus about his experiences. It makes me question what happens after, in a good way, I always thought it it would be nothing but now I'm not so sure.
