When jumping or doing any method I guess, should one view themselves as jumping into eternal light as opposed to viewing death as eternal darkness?

Why does oblivion have to be dark and ominous? Viewing death as eternal blackness just makes it scarier. Crystal oblivion sounds more inviting and warm as if a gentle handle is reaching out to you from beyond ready to accept you into the home you were stolen from like Hercules who was stolen from Mt Olympus in the Disney movie.

"But as the gate swung wider and the sorcery of drug and dream pushed me through, I knew that all sights and glories were at an end; for in that new realm was neither land nor sea, but only the white void of unpeopled and illimitable space. So, happier than I had ever dared hoped to be, I dissolved again into that native infinity of crystal oblivion from which the daemon Life had called me for one brief and desolate hour."
from Ex Oblivione by Lovecraft

The searches reset I think. I don't know why it showed actual crystals instead of a white void. I put in a different prompt this time lol

I have always felt that this is one of many journeys and the next is going to be better, as I agree with you. Why can it not be a warm, sunny and vibrant place.

We are used to seeing death as something dark. Seeing the light in it is difficult

Why is that? Because we've been conditioned to?

Light and dark are experiences. In death, I'd assume you'd experience neither.

Death to me is most likely just the ending of experience. Like being asleep with no dreams,

Excellent topic, in fact it is like this, just look at the near-death experiences, they all talk about light and not darkness, I completely agree, darkness is something more to be associated with a life lived in depression and therefore with life, not with death.

Because of the culture and society we have built and thoughts towards death.

I think it would be a good idea to hold that belief during one's final moments. I don't subscribe to it, but holding to it could be what pushes me to jump when I'm petrified with fear looking down into the abyss.

One just has to use their imagination.

That's interesting. So it's in life where the dark, shadowy void resides that's filled with false hopes and illusions of connection when it's in death where the light resides and one is truly connected to all things.

I see it as dark because to me, dying is the "sleep of death" and when I shut my eyes to go to sleep, everything goes dark!

Such a negative Nancy. But I suppose the dark blanket of death can be comforting too in a way. Disappearing under it and being forever cozy and invisible.
