Discussion What happens after death

[itsgone2]

It gets asked a lot. Thought a poll might be interesting.

I hope at least we could get the things we couldn't get in this shit existence that would be justice but realistically i think nothing. Life is this one chance make the best of it or not i guess thats our human history.

there is nothing after Death. 1 micro-second after my brain dies i will cease to exist forever onward after that. i and every human is just a brain , brain cells. these brain cells as are most tissue cells are just the first cell that evolved 4 billion years ago with added horrors.

why horrors? Because brain cells can connect into patterns that create unending constant unbearable pain

for example a human brain cell, most animal cells and the first cell have all the same fundamental machines like DNA, same genetic code, ATP, cell membrane, RNA, ribosomes and others. without any of these the cell wouldn't function.

as electricity flows through the complex patterns of the connections of brain cells, the patterns create a model of a self , a model of the world and a model of a self viewing the world and a model of consciousness. it's like a computer creating a first person vr shooter game with ai , and NPCs.

the following is part of a discussion i had with Chatgpt

The only logical inference

Given that:

• All living cells share an identical molecular foundation,
• These systems are interdependent (DNA needs proteins, proteins need ribosomes, ribosomes need RNA, etc.),
• And these systems are too intricately coordinated to have arisen separately more than once,

The only reasonable explanation is common descent. All cells — including the neurons in your brain — are direct descendants of that primordial cell, carrying its legacy in every molecule.

Logic can only lead me to believe that there is nothing but I hope that there is something.

Once the electric impulses in your brain cease to exist, your consciousness will be stripped from you and you will rot from that moment. There is no coherent reason to believe anything mystical happens after these impulses no longer occur; it's simply a human coping mechanism, invoking fantasy to deal with the existential elk theory.

Nothing. It will be as it was before birth. All your memories, pain and joy – everything will disappear. I would like to be cremated and my ashes scattered over a clearing in the forest. This life is pure torture. The sooner it ends, the better

I was recently reflecting on this and came to a conclusion that might be helpful for everyone.
Whether or not things happen after death goes beyond our intellect, perception, or anything else related to it. No one has been able to corroborate it beyond cases that might be considered abnormal or exceptional, such as people who fell into a coma and had those kinds of experiences. But let's assume that our brain has unimaginable capabilities to reinterpret reality and assume that such and such is real, like someone having visited heaven, having seen God, or even having Jesus take a walk with him. Drugs and psychoactive substances are proof that our mind has the potential to take us to points where our senses are completely altered, and notions are transformed into something that can seem so real that some people get stuck in the so-called "trip." Consequently, the mind is the key to all those notions of "What happens after death?" And you can choose to believe in paradise, heaven, hell, reincarnation, and let's be honest! It's fun to fantasize and imagine when we're faced with a disgusting reality.

It might sound stupid and perhaps unpleasant, but as a pornography and masturbation addict, I've noticed that what excites you isn't necessarily a realistic stimulus or that you're literally having sex to reach climax. Things like animations, even sounds or fantasies can lead you there. Therefore, the mind is an incredible engine that can make you believe that the afterlife exists, that reincarnation, purgatory, or countless other things await you. You can choose to believe in whatever you prefer, or you can accept that nothing exists, because so far, that's all there is in terms of probability and logical sense.

I voted Heaven/hell but I believe in reincarnation too and I don't believe in hell.
I think we go into the light (like in NDE stories), we stay for rest, and we come back on earth when we're ready again. I don't want to reincarnate at all but that's what I believe

 

[pogostick]

I believe in reincarnation strictly. I think once I die, I'll immediately be afforded consciousness in a new body. It doesn't have to be a human body, but I don't believe that this one life is the end of my experience here.

 

[FuneralCry]

Non-existence is all I hope for and believe in, I just want to never suffer in this torturous existence ever again, for me non-existence is just all that's positive in this existence I always saw as the most terrible tragic mistake and I'll only be at peace once I no longer exist, for me existence is always an abomination and it's one I only want to be free from, I wish for no more pain and no more suffering and I suffer so much as a result of being burdened with this existence, I'll always find it so deeply undesirable to suffer in this existence,

After reading countless of suicide related NDE's I strongly believe that there is life after death. We suicides will not go to the light right away. Because we got so much emotional baggage, first we will go to a place which is like a hospital for the soul. I that place helpful presences will help us get rid of all the negative energy we carried back on earth, and the after this cleansing concludes we will go into the light and join the others. This is what I chose to believe after reading NDE reports for more than 10 years. There is no heaven and hell. We will all go to the same place, some right away, some later.

 

[MissAbyss]

I believe in Heaven, I just like that thought.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

If the world is like it seems there will be nothing after death, it will be like before we were born, we simple don't exist anymore.

But who ever experienced a dream in a dream, who ever woke up and realised that he was still dreaming when he woke up a second time knows, that only our own mind is sure to exist. Anything outside our consciousness is uncertain.
So it could be, that we only enter another level of the matrix when we die.

Can I ask: how will this place be? Will we met loved ones who died before us? Will we enjoy nature? What will be our purpose there? What will be our "daily routine" there? Will we just be happy and chill our time there forever?

I can answer some of your question but not all, sorry.
About meeting our loved ones, yes we will meet them again. I dont know about enjoying nature or our purpose there or the daily routine. But i know that we will be much happier there, be free of bodily pain and we will feel loved unconditionally.

reincarnation, an eternal dark void or anything else creepy
