Discussion What’s after death?

[Lalari!!]

Hi guys,
As we obviously know, we can never be certain of what there is after death, but I find it interesting to know what are your opinions of what happens after death? Do you believe in afterlife (what kind)? Or just nothingness?

Looking forward to reading your replies x

We get to live in eternal paradise with the messiah.

respawn on a planet that isn't as lame as this one, hopefully

I believe that there is nothing after this, just like how before we were born, time passed and yet we were not aware of anything. When we lose consciousness, that is it for us, we cease to exist. Death is the end to all pain and suffering, death is true peace and it is all I want. When I think about the eternity of death, life seems so temporary and meaningless in comparison.

Reincarnation. A fresh start.

Reincarnation. A fresh start.

I do believe in reincarnation as well

 

[locked*n*loaded]

You go back to the same place you came from...............non-existing.

 

[WorthlessTrash]

Some may not want it, but I want to be able to enjoy life. Since this one isn't possible, I hope for a fresh start.

From what I've read, suicides roam as ghosts for the time they were meant to live on this world. Or I've also read those who commit suicide are turned upside down in the afterlife. Just F-in great, who knows what kind of hell is there after. Can't catch a break.

Rest. And freedom from the "blender brain" that is PTSD, BPD, and 10 years in a highly abusive relationship.

 

[°Celsuis_Caesar]

Nobody really knows for sure; the closest there is are theories like reincarnation and nothingness, etc

I'll put myself down for Nothingness ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Journeytoletgo]

Who knows. Whatever gives you peace to transition follow that. I think there are multiple possibilities

 

[Shu]

There is no reincarnation. We are multidimensional. We live all of our lives simultaneously. Praise the flying spaghetti monster! Red Scare is Lord!

Where did you read that stuff? xD

I better re-emerge somewhere better with the same body but a healthy brain.

Good question. People don't tend to question what they read for some reason. Gullibility is sad

I half-believe in some variant of reincarnation and I don't think this phenomenon is exclusive to humans.

We don't fully understand consciousness because we can't emulate it. Even if we built a supercomputer with as many synthetic neural connections as a human brain, we still could not animate it with consciousness because consciousness requires agency, and that is not something we can tether fully and convincingly to any organic structure, including the brain. Given that the brain and consciousness may not be one and the same, it could very well be that aspects of consciousness continue on after 'brain death,' and either become part of some bigger collective consciousness, and/or return to life in some other embodied form.

That being said, I don't think our ego survives death - who we are now would cease to exist and, even if we do re-experience consciousness, it would not be pre-CTB versions of us experiencing it. We have no memory of 'life' before we were born, and will likely experience nothing (as 'ourselves') when we die. That said, I'm still not convinced that consciousness will just altogether stop at once. Even if consciousness is tethered immutably to the brain, I think the likelihood that we would experience an altered dream-like state for a few seconds (which could seem like a lifetime, as time would cease to exist) is high. I think this is what near death experiences are.

More death and more death. Just for other people.

I'd like to think that we could have control over our everything after death, maybe it can be compared to becoming a god. I like the idea of being able to do all that you want, I'd be able to control all time and so if I wanted to have sex for what feels like 20 years when it could all just take up one day, I can do that. I'd be able to manipulate my body at will, be able to remove all mental illness from my brain, be able to never feel anything negative again. The feeling of constant and unending bliss could be with me and I'd be able to say that the feeling never becomes stale, perhaps a constant state of bliss that feels just as intensely great as the first second of experiencing it.

All the inconsistencies that could come along with my decisions could become realised if I so choose, and if it realistically only creates bad, I'd be able to manipulate that into feeling only positive and good. If there's a chance that something wouldn't make sense in my mind, I'd have the decision to make it make sense for me, but also for all the energy around me to have it make sense with no effort on my part. Everything could just feel right, and that could be made to be so without even a snap of my fingers, it just happens naturally because what ever things would be in control of the situation, if anything at all, would already know what would feel good for me. The illness of depression could be washed away from my world including all the knowledge and history of it, but I could also bring it all back if I so chose to, even if I already forgot what it was and have no recollection of every feeling it. It would all make sense because all inconsistencies would make sense.

Fuck Earthly consistencies and feelings, I can be as blissful as can be having the greatest and most romantic and love-filled sex with the most attractive person that would be most fitting for me and it could last forever and ever if I so wanted. If Heaven is valid, then mine is too, and my afterlife doesn't dictate entry by way of death, so I already have an open doorway inside and am more than willing to take it.

A nice long end credits scene with sappy music about my life.

 

[xo777]

i don't believe in nothingness i just feel like there is something there
i think there will be some sort of heaven or peace for us on the other side

 

[Graytaichi]

Nothiness. U are born naked and naked you shall rest eternally

 

[Al_stargate]

Where did you read that stuff? xD

I was reading some Sikh spiritual discourse. But religions have plenty of bad stories what happens to ctb-ers, so don't know how much of that is true. I feel like consciousness is like energy that cannot be created or destroyed. Some higher entity (God) took a piece of himself and divided it into numerous parts. These parts seek a way back like drops falling into the ocean, to merge back with it again. This central conscious entity (God), I don't believe has a good opinion on suicide, so I'm afraid some punishment is there. Just my logic.

The lake of fire hopefully...so I can burn burn burn the ring of Fire

When i was younger i died, was brought back, was put in a medically induced coma. i have seen entire realms of existence that the spirit can explore, i also seen that some people who got bored of those realms descend onto earth to start a new life. So the belief in spirit worlds and reincarnation. I don't believe we are forced to reincarnate, and we can remain in spirit for as long as we want. Spirits are also capable of creating solid like material constructs, however reincarnation seems to be the most immersive experiences.

 

[Conker]

Amnesia, because the Illuminati are too busy raping & cannibalizing children instead of destroying the moon.

 

[Weebster]

Eternal torture.

 

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Nothing.

 

[CrossroadsCurious]

This reality is in fact HELL!!! We have already died, been judged, and been sent here for punishment! When we die here we are just reincarnated/reborn back to this shithole. Repeat for all eternity...

hmmm, i just began to read some Neoplatonic philosophers, such as plotinus.... well they would somehow agree with you, and you know what, it scares me, because even if i undo my existence by my own hands, i would continue to transmigrate and who knows where my soul would go.
