Discussion You guys ever wondered what happens after death?

[blanketyblk]

I've posted this before but it's a perfect quote for this topic

"I yearn for the darkness. I pray for death. Real death. If I thought that in death I would meet the people I've known in life I don't know what I'd do. That would be the ultimate horror. The ultimate despair. If I had to meet my mother again and start all of that all over, only this time without the prospect of death to look forward to? Well. That would be the final nightmare. Kafka on wheels."
― Cormac McCarthy, The Sunset Limited

Watch this video:

Some interesting and universal 'Truths' in this, but all the Christian, Heaven and Angels crap is a pain in the arse.

At this point I just hope it feels as sleeping.

But you don't know how you feel when you're sleeping, do you?

I really don't know, none of us does. I dont really believe the religious fairy tale but I do believe that energy (soul) never dies, energy is transformed so maybe there is more beyond death, beyond this life. I wonder about Parallel dimensions and the possibility that exiting this world is an arrival to another just like this one without the memory of this one, weird right?

Then I wonder about Aliens, are we connected to them somehow, like on a time line where when you pass in this world at this time you end up living another life further down the line, similar to reincarnation. Eventually ending up where they are at the end of the line of evolution.

I dont really believe there is awareness of death after death. When the brain dies so does your memories. The idea that ghosts walk around with memories of past life is silly, our bodies are machines, biorganisms that contain energy that never dies but the body does, for that energy to have memory and awareness again it needs a new body, so you would have to be reborn.

Of course there is also the idea that once dead you are dead forever, there is nothingness. The theroy of continuance could be nothing more than the result of heightened brain activity or refusal to accept our own fragile existence and mortality.

Nobody ever returns from beyond to tell us what happens. I think if there was an afterlife somebody would have figured out some way to communicate what its like, and no I don't believe in mediums.

Idk, idc. Could be nothing

The war against the heart continues there, I'm not expecting the other side to be any source of solace or true light & happiness. These past decades have been a process of remembering how to walk & then eventually run to freedom once I break out of this dusty cage.

Only fear keeps me here for a little longer, at least distractions make time go by faster. I rather return to nonexistence than ever be back here or in any other prison entrapped in any shape, form or name/mask. It's not even that I hate Earth or living, I actually love her but she has been infected with this Draconian Zionic virus that I want nothing to do with. Much of the worst pain & misery we see today isn't even caused by Mother Nature even though they sometimes try to make it seem that way.

Good luck to those who truly wish to escape at any cost such as myself. I too have become exhausted of this beast system, it's saddening to witness how this part of the universe has become overtaken by darkness. Ecophagy & human extinction is all that's left within the next 13 years.

I believe that there's nothing. Some people have weird limbic systems and will see something in the right circumstances but ultimately there's nothing.

Finally a good night's sleep.

I hope there is eternal nothingness and that is what I believe there is. Just like how before we were born, time passed and yet we were not aware of anything. I think when we lose consciousness, that is it for us. I just want to sleep forever. The thought of their being nothing is comforting to me, never having to experience anything again.

i don't think thats how it works. religious experiences only happen when the left amygdala is overstimulated and that's in rare cases.

Simple you did without fanfare but at least those who do find peace. Don't mind the after, it's the now that hurting

Would love to read some ideas and some comments on what people think what happens after your demise. The last few days i thought about it a lot and i have to admit sometimes i am afraid and sometimes i feel almost encouraged to ctb. I came up with some theories what could happen after our death, but i would love to hear what other people think about death as well

1: My most unlikely theorie: we fade into nothingness. Personally i don't believe that if our life ends we just stop to exist, but it could be i guess?
2: Our consciousness will unbind itself from our dead bodies and will search for another host (Baby in womb; either right away or maybe it can even break time and go to different timezones like the past); or maybe it will even not bind itself to anyone anymore and instead we will just exist as a consciousness, a silent observer who can't be seen or touched by anyone

I believe that we won't just stop existing, because our consciousness is something extremly unique and only humans have it. I think our brains just act like docking stations for our consciousness to get a grasp of our body, we are nothing more but puppets and when we die our consciousness (our real existence) just searches for another host. I think death is like a reset, we will just lose all memories and we will start a new life as a new human somewhere else.

Tbh even though i know the real me won't die, i am afraid of losing those precious memories i made with this shell. I know i will just be born again somewhere else but knowing i won't remember my loving mother anymore just breaks my heart.

I have similar beliefs, but who knows. Just yesterday I was reading the teachings of Sri Ramana. He teaches that the mind looks for a new body as long as it identifies with a body. During death, the mind goes between the dying body and the new one. Again, who knows. But I want to die peacefully so that my mind would have an easier time on its journey.

Look into DMT, I just wrote a post on the thread titled afterlife about it. Having experienced it and done extensive research on it, basically it shoots your body into an entirely alternate dimension than this one and it oddly feels like "going home" and when you come back you feel like this place is alein. I am non religious and not even really spiritual but this experience is nothing to sell short, I am not saying anything is certain but DMT does release in large amounts from multiple organs in the body upon death and I think this surely best explains and hints at the POSSIBILITY of a beautiful afterlife. All of this is too complex for me to believe we live for this tiny portion on the cosmic scale and die and boom nothingness for eternity. Consciousness is the most important part of the universe, its needed for the universe to actually be percieved into existing and to be experienced, and from subatomic levels to the most outter edges of the known universe, this universe is fucking unbelievably complex and I personally think its constantly evolving and infinite. I like to believe that if you were dealt a fucking bullshit hand in this life, which certainly can happen, then some of your energy may be directed to other means of existing and having an infinite number of chances. If you truly hate life on every level I'm sorry, youve been fucked, because there are things in life that ANYONE would enjoy. I've been on both ends of the spectrum of experience, and while I have some of the deepest hatred burning within me for certain things, I tend to want to exist forever in one way or another.. maybe that is selfish of me. I love the stars and nature I just fucking hate the majority of humanity, they're the reason I was lead to the dead end I'm in now, sure some of it was my fault, but honestly without certain people in my life I'd never be in this specific position. Anyways, those are just thoughts and theories, any ones are as good as mine, it seems were not really supposed to know the answers to these deep questions so life just remains a mystery, maybe knowing would spoil it.

I never took DMT (hopefully i will some day) but i had an experience on psilocybin that gave me a very distinct feeling that the universe is consciousness and that consciousness cycles somehow like currents. I got the distinct message that it is better to find your good parts in life, meaning that you find the parts in your heart that has empathy with the things that surround you.
