Discussion What happens when I die?

[ThinkingOutLoud]

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but it's the only thing keeping me from CTB. Not knowing what comes after death terrifies me. I don't know if it's more comfortable for me to accept that I will never have a single conscious thought for the rest of eternity, or that I will be reborn into some place like heaven. I don't care much about what those around me will have to do in the aftermath, as it will legitimately not be my problem anymore. I understand that this sound narcissistic, I just want to know what happens to me afterwards.

Please discuss/comment how you feel about the matter in the comments. I am seeking comfort on this, as it's the only thing holding me back from the release I so desperately want. I have already written am extensive note, and chosen my method. I will be using a 12 gauge shotgun and some 00 buckshot I bought awhile ago. I just feel scared of what comes after.

 

[leftdreaming]

Don't worry, you're in the right place.

I'm very much atheist, so heaven and hell and rebirth sound more like a comfort made for others that I won't take part in. For the sake of those counting on an afterlife, I hope it does exist, but I can't logically imagine there would be one.

I'm pretty open to whatever happens, since it's coming for me one way or another, but there are times where the lack of thoughts or existence really do scare me.

If death is nothingness, take comfort in knowing that you've already experienced nothingness before you were born.

It's a question, we do not have answers for and we could never ask someone who passed that border with no return. It's all specualtion what one wants or wants not to believe. I personally think after death the energy of life (what we call soul, mind) leaves the body and re-unites with the vaccuum energy in the cosmic web throughout the universe as energy while the body will re-united with earth.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I do understand where you are coming from. I'm more on the aetheist side now but I was raised with ideas of heaven and hell.

It's difficult really to comfort you though I'm afraid. I think it would be the biggest news story of all time if someone actually knew for sure what happens afterwards. So- anything anyone says is going to be based on belief or- the lack of facts to support a belief.

I suppose it makes more sense to me that religions and Gods were created by mankind in order to control societies. That said- the brain is such a powerful tool. Just think of where it takes us when we dream. I'm perfectly willing to believe we could dream of heaven or hell before we die.

Not that it's much comfort but- it's something we're all going to have to experience- whether we CTB or die of natural causes. I suppose I find a sort of comfort when I realise how many people have already done it! Plus- it's unavoidable at some point- so, whatever happens- we have no choice but to go along with it.

With regards to CTB though- I guess it depends on your own beliefs and fears- do you suspect there will be a different outcome for people who have taken their own lives in the after life?

The same thing that happened to the session of google chrome on my old laptop when it went up in flames from the wrong charger being connected.

It's a harsh fact and people have become rich and powerful by telling others there is a way to avoid it.

 

[macrocosm]

What comes after death is death. That's it. You return to the earth. Like a dreamless sleep or being out under anesthesia, you turn off. What else would there be?

 

[FuneralCry]

I certainly very strongly believe that we just cease existing after this with death erasing everything for us. To die causes us to forget everything so I see there being nothing to fear as without existence one cannot suffer. I only fear this chaotic and nightmarish world where there is endless potential for agony, we are all destined for nowhere but to die so there is no point to fearing it, our existences are so futile and insignifcant especially in comparison to the vast eternity of non-existence.

I believe existence to be an unnecessary, tragic disturbance in what would otherwise be the perfect state of not-being and this nightmare ends when we die which is why I see suicide as being self care, it's taking control over our inevitable fate and preventing worthless, unnecessary torment. Existence in itself is the true problem which could only ever be solved by death.

Judgement, then mercy.

Prison Planet Theory.
It´s a sick joke we are all trapped in.

Also, the real leaders of the world are all fascinated with symbolism and the occult. They dont care about money, they care about ultimate knowledge.
The masses, just like us here, are so oblivious to the truths of this existence that it depresses me everytime i think about it.

Is it a joke? or is it just to create loosh (AKA suffering) for evil beings

 

[gulp]

in my opinion, void is what comes when you die
pure emptiness, nothing at all, the pure expression of hopeless

 

[Vizzy]

Real truth is no one knows!

But I think death is the end nothing after that

 

[inmyhead]

I fully believe that after death there is nothingness. Like when you fall unconscious. It's just… nothing. And that's comforting to me. Because if I end up in a heaven or a hell (which just sounds like religion trying to stop people from doing bad things) then I will still be me. With my mental health issues. Heaven would still be hell. I am in hell.

Anyway, you will only ever get what people believe comes after death. In 2012 my heart stopped beating and I was 'legally dead' for less than a minute then in a medically induced coma. I experienced nothing in that time. Absolutely nothing at all. That's what I think is coming and I can't wait.

 

[Rob1984]

You want us to comfort you about what happens when we die, but the truth is, none of us know. Even if every member on this entire website told you that death is nothingness, that wouldn't mean it's true. There's the possibility that what follows our biological death is an experience us humans cannot conceive of; it may defy our abilities to comprehend or imagine. Your guess is just as good as any of ours

 

[quietxconfessions]

 

[LaVieEnRose]

Lots of things. They just won't involve you.

 

[leavingsoon99]

Who knows what happens to us. I just want to be out of THIS. I don't care what this life does after I leave it. I've been here. It sucks. Time for me to move on, however that may be.

 

[CursedReality88]

I've been on this ride for awhile and I have new perspectives of life and death. I believe after death, we try again at life. Again and again until we are satisfied. My next life I hope I learned from the mistakes I've made in this lifetime atleast. I'm actually at a very high vibration right now which sucks because I feel like due to my circumstances I don't really have a choice but to ctb. So I'm in a extremely weird spot right now lol. But I okay with it.

 

[CYP11B1]

I'm a materialist and think that nothing, but I can imagine a few terrible scenarios that worry me sometimes.

1) eternal recurrence - I just meaninglessly relive the same awful life with no changes in an infinite loop.
2) nothing, but based on what happens to brain activity in link with death - before death brain tricks me into thinking I'm in hell and destroys my perception of time making it even worse.
3) if personal god exists, it's surely malevolent and will judge humans according to reverse morality, as no good deed goes unpunished.

As for nothingness, I think I'd be better off not existing than continuing existing even in good afterlife, but instinctively I fear it and sometimes I can't fall asleep in an irrational fear of my consciousness disappearing for a while. But then when I'm very sleepy, that perspective of fading into nothingness feels wonderful and maybe being sleep deprived could be a way to alleviate fear when the time comes.

 

[blank_slab]

Yeah what happens after death is a scary thought but I like to hope that i can be a ghost and hang with the other people who have died that would be fun
If there is a god I hope they don't judge harshly and i hope they believe that people deserve a heaven no matter what

 

[That's Not Me]

When you die you cause some people a lot of pain, especially if your parents are alive, but personally I don't believe the pain will end for you either. I think it's a long and endless cycle of pain and suffering. I really hope that there is no life after death, but I am not sure and I am afraid of what can happen to me when I ctb.

 

[Issk]

I've been looking up for near death experiences contents and I'm surprised that most of them are positive, even from those choosing painful ways to CTB. But I still wish there's an easier way to go

 

[crimsonpool]

look into near death experience stories (here) and the research they've done on kids who remember their past lives, both seem to suggest something after life that isn't scary or anything. i used to have a debilitating fear of death and both of these things helped me get over it

 

[InaudibleEcho]

I'm a lil delulu but I like to think if you have a strong enough connection to another universe you'll be reborn there as your counterpart. If not, it'll be like blacking out or having a dreamless sleep without the waking up part.

 

[mlcs]

Nothing. You just stop existing and the world goes on without you. Seems cruel, but that's just how life is. You are your brain, after brain is shut down there's no more you. Ethernity of chaos continues. 99.99% of the history you weren't there, and 99.99% of the future you won't be there. It's your choice how long you want to be the part of that chaos. Some of us are luckier or more capable, some of us are defeated by the same chaos.

 

[magician99]

What happens when you die is what you believe will happen.

Everyone goes whererever they want to die once they die.

DMT and Near Death Experiences are the proof of this.




We know, per research by studies, that DMT causes similiar effects to Near Death Experiences.

Studies of people who have experienced 'clinical death,' but were revived, found a common theme of a "Near Death Experience." Research has suggested that the hallucinogen DMT models this NDE very similarly, suggesting that a DMT experience is like unto the final moments of an individuals life.

NDEs are different for everyone, some say that they reunied with their loved ones, some say that they felt a infinite amount of love, some say that they felt scared, some say that they felt nothing, and some even say that whatever they saw, made them believe that the afterlife is some sort of sandbox mode where they could do whatever they want. It varies from person to person.

Our brain releases a large amount of DMT at the moment we die. The brain actively stays alive for about six minutes after the heart stops. And as we know, time acts very differently in a dream state. Now with DMT being completely different than a dream state, time could also be very different. Six minutes could essentially turn into forever and your entire life could flash before your eyes in just a matter of seconds. So what if the DMT realm is actually the afterlife? And what people see when they have a near death experience, is actually due to DMT? (which, see above, is the case). Well, according to people who do DMT, 6 minutes is forever, one nanosecond becomes infinity. The best way someone was able to explain it: "It is like a sound will get caught, imagine your game freezing on a sound. Before it shuts down it makes that same repeating sound. That will happen, and you'll get caught in one spot, but in reality it's not just one spot it's infinite spots. It's infinite time, the clock never has to move you can feel suspended through dimensions this way and it's usually a very good and profound feeling. Gives you time to look around when a nanosecond becomes infinity."

So if you that believe you go to "____" after you die, you'll go there. And if you believe that "____" happens after death, that's what will happen to you.

If you want nothing after death, you will get nothing. If you want to be reunited with your loved ones or pets who died before you did, you'll be reunited with them.

Once you die, you're not bound by the laws of physics anymore.
