What do you think happens after we die?

[xxxllrrssaa]

I like to think it will feel like I'm sleeping and I am just at peace with everything and not in pain. I hope I can also "watch down" on the world I left if I wanted to, to check the people I love and make sure they are okay

 

[Scribble Fan]

I like to imagine it will be similar to a lucid dream, where we get to do whatever we want. Maybe we can invite loved ones over, once they arrive.

Idk, it's more of a fantasy than anything but it brings me comfort.

 

[WornOutLife]

It will probably be just like the time before we were born; we won't even realize we don't exist.

I think that without a brain, it's very unlikely to keep on existing and having a consciousness but who knows? I can't confirm this at a 100%.

If there's something else waiting for me and sucks like this world does, I'll just try to ctb there too.

 

[Bullit]

That's why its so hard for me to ctb. I want out of this hell,but then what? Nothingness? Forever? Ever and ever?

 

[Wrennie]

That's why its so hard for me to call b. I want out of this hell,but then what? Nothingness? Forever? Ever and ever?

Time won't exist where we're going.

 

[the_final_countdown]

Nothing really.

We'll never exist again. Ever.

Like a collection of flower petals falling in a lake, making a peculiar pattern.

To God, we must seem like such a collection, even in the depth of our misery.

Spiritually: Peace, healing, re-learning and re-entrance.

Scientifically: Nothing. Like a dreamless sleep or braindead coma, for eternity.

Torn between the 2, with zero preference.

 

[Quiet Desperation]

I subscribe to the worm food theory. Lights out, it's over.

 

[lofticries]

No one knows. And that's a fact.

But if I had my choice I would love to explore different worlds(planets) and dimensions after i die before I go into eternal nothingness. I know it won't matter in the end but it'd be cool af within the moment.

Similarly, I'd love to explore the universe and all the planets after I die before I reach eternal oblivion.

I sure hope reincarnation is not true

I think there is nothing after we die.

 

[FuneralCry]

I believe there is nothing too, just like before we are born. Once we lose consciousness that is the end of us. Just like an eternal sleep. That is what I want.

 

[Sans]

Chances are, eternal nothingness.

If we're really unlucky, we'll go to hell for eternity, but I genuinely believe that we're already in hell.

I would like to think I get a second chance again. Put things right. Make some changes but also keep some things the same that I am happy about. I think an opportunity to make amends and relive my life again is nothing more than a childish fantasy.

But it keeps me some what sane and will do right up to when my body utters it's final shallow breath on that bus ride to the end.

 

[bluedreamscape]

It's like a permanent blackout... non-existence

I've always found the concept of "do-overs" depressing. Unless you know it is a second chance, it seems like things would just turn out the same. And if you do know, seems like it would be more pressure than a relief.
But that's just me. Hope you find what brings you peace.

 

[Bullit]

LOL As he found out! (I'm referring to the character, but it could also apply to the actor!)

 

[ExistentialEntropy]

Everyone has their own beliefs about mortality. Personally I follow the Hindu philosophy of Advaita Vedanta, or 'not two.'

For me there is only one eternal awareness or consciousness. It is never separate. In order to experience itself, awareness refracts itself into many limited finite minds. Like characters in a play we are each just one part of an overlooking mind. When I leave behind all distraction I am left only with a knowing of my ever present awareness.

In this belief. When our body dies, the mind, like a whirlpool in a river, collapses and rejoins the flow. The limitations of our mind fall away and we merge with the field of infinite awareness, from which we were never separated but merely unable to see from the perspective of the finite mind. Parts of what make us finite may converge again to form new finite minds.

With this in mind I imagine a process of defocusing and expanding consciousness into infinity from the moment of death. I imagine a continuing awareness without limits of the finite mind.

 

[Broken Buzz]

To me, the afterlife is the equivalent of how portraits work in the Harry Potter books. I'll no longer be conscious or self-aware and therefore be rid of all the problems those bring. But my 'soul' if you will, shall be preserved richly and intricately in the memories of those precious few whom I have touched, and I'll live on in their dreams, brought back to life in their sleep like a magic portrait. I'll be happy.

It sounds like a sweet metaphor, but it's the core philosophy I live by and it both motivates me to do good in the world, avoiding nihilism and giving meaning to my (painful) life, and also to not fear death.

No one will ever know until they die. In the words of Madonna life is a mystery. Death is also a mystery too. Because of our suicidal mindset we all seam too think too much about life,death,heaven,hell. How nice it would be too not even be in the situation of not thinking about these things like the majority of the 8 billion people on this planet don't have too.
