Your idea of Heavan

[FoxInWaiting]

What's your idea of Heaven?

Putting aside what you personally believe, if you are religious or not, etc.

What would be Heaven to you?

Personally for me, Heaven is a place where I have a family, people to love and constantly be there for, and also a place where I never have to truly grow up. I can always hang on to some of my innocence.

I don't want a perfect life, that's boring. I want challenges and tasks and responsibilities, but I want those struggles to be worth it. That's the problem with the current life I live, the struggles aren't worth it. They've never been worth it.

Also, mite seem obscure, but I want my sexual desire removed entirely. It's just an annoyance, a hinderance, a time waster, it's lead me to dark places I wish I never knew existed, it's made me look for love in all the wrong places, it's distracted me from what's important, and warped my mind to an irreversible degree.

I want it gone, I don't even want to know what that sensation and desire feels like. I despise it.

I know alot of people who CTB have some kind of delusion of where they'll go, some idea of their next life. I dont have that. I have what I'd WANT to happen, where I'd WANT to go, who I'd WANT to become, but realistically speaking, idk what's really gonna happen afterwards. It mite just be nothing, maybe we are just electric sacks of flesh, and there is no "soul".

But either way, that would be Heaven to me.

My personal opinion, not proven by science or anything the like (I posted this a while ago in another thread):

We have no clue what really happens in the moment of death. We even don't know what is exactly behind "life and our mind" and what makes this cluster of atoms being able to think, to make decisions and so on. When this cluster of atoms "dies", the atoms will remain on earth and what we call "soul, mind or let's say energy of life" will reunite with the quantum vacuum energy that is everywhere throughout the cosmos and probably beyond it, we will reunite with the cosmic web as pure energy.

Physically it's proven that even in the total vaccum there is a lot of energy that can materiliaze and de-materialze at any time.

These are my thoughts regarding "heaven".

My idea of heaven is Equestria.

Like Defending Your Life(1993)--As long as my father, mother, brother, and Patti are there to greet me, I'll be happy

 

[rabid_aspie_yokai]

For me it would be a never ending semi-lucid dream. Like, I dunno... I could shapeshift and manipulate my surroundings freely, but could also step back and "enjoy the show" if that makes sense? Reliving memories, but changing up a few things, doing things I ever had the chance to, living the lives I wanted... Endless possibilities and zero chance of failure sounds heavenly enough for me...

I've seen this video about the sermon of an orthodox priest, that I highly respect, and he talked about his idea of heaven.

To be in a prairie full of beautiful flowers, that we know of and unknown species. To step on those flowers without ever hurting them. You take a few steps and it's like nothing happened. All of this nature would never be hurt.

To be reminded of the beauty of nature.

Big blue sky, perhaps a few clouds to point at and see what they would remind of (a cloud that could look like a lion, etc). The sounds of different animals, the birds singing, the sound of a deer nearby. The sound of wind and feeling it through my hair. Wearing maybe a prairie dress, I love them. I also would wish that there could be a little forest, maybe even a little river. I wanna get lost in all of this beautiful nature.

I wanna live in it and I want to die in it.

That is a beautiful idea of what an ideal heaven would be. Just spending forever with the people I love is all heaven would need to be in my opinion. The only requirement to get into such a place should be that you're an empathetic person and you do the best you can to be good to other people while you're alive on Earth, and most SS members seem to fit into that category anyway, regardless of whether they chose to die or not.

Devotion to any god or gods should NEVER factor into the equation at all, because any such beings that demand devotion don't deserve it anyway (and why would they need it?). I feel sorry for people who genuinely want to spend all of eternity on their knees in front of a divine dictator, just to constantly massage their ego forever. That to me sounds more hellish than the Christian hell I was raised to believe in as a kid lmao.

As far as sexual desire goes, I feel like it should be an optional thing in the afterlife that people can choose to have or not have, that way the people who enjoyed it on Earth could experience it without any risks, and the people who have no use for it could simply get rid of it entirely. Having the freedom to choose for yourself would make it so much better IMO.

To me it could only ever be permanent nonexistence for all eternity, true peace could only ever exist in the complete absence of everything where this existence won't even be a distant memory. I don't desire experiencing anything at all, I only wish for complete nonexistence where I'm completely unaware and where all is forgotten about.

I completely agree with this!

My heaven would just be for existence as a whole to end. The thing I hate most is being aware of my own existence. Any sort of traditional idea heaven that requires me to know about my own being isn't heaven to me. What I need is peace, as nonsensical as that may sound within the context of nonexistence. However, I feel that word best illustrates the general concept I'm trying to communicate. I need it all to just end. I don't want to have a mind that has the capability of thinking anymore

In short, a feeling of nothingness like the way it was before we were born… now that's my dream….

 

[ThisIsLife]

To feel nothing but love.

 

[deathLiberation]

Freedom.

We are all slaves. Slaves to a materialistic system, slaves to an emotional construct, slaves to thoughts that are not our own.

Hopefully death is liberation for ultimate freedom.

 

[dannie58]

My idea of Heaven....a beautiful land where ALL people are loved and accepted.

 

[Vizzy]

No heaven just nothingness!

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Non-existence forever is the ultimate bliss to me. As long as consciousness continues I will experience boredom , unmet needs , memories of this horrible life and evil world in other words still suffering. This is assuming the extreme pain and torture is somehow magically prevented in this life or the fictional afterlife .
As long as this DNA based animal life continues I am under threat of extreme pain that is unimaginable. If something horrible happened to another human or animal there is no guarantee it won't happen to me as Long as I'm alive. Non-existence forever is the only guarantee of never suffering extreme pain suffering or torture.
The fictional afterlife or reincarnation where you could conceivably continue suffering with boredom terrible memories etc. For trillions to the septillion power years and that is just a Start to infinity. I don't see how others believe or would want that an afterlife for trillions of years of boredom and terrible memories.
Anybody think that Chatgpt 4 already hasn't surpassed the human brain? This is just an early version of ai. It will improve.

[2303.12712] Sparks of Artificial General Intelligence: Early experiments with GPT-4

Just chatgpt 4 already proved that a human is just neutral networks a brain. The brain is a device a machine so is a human. But a machine that can produce sentience and consciousness which is the ability to suffer pain that is so bad it makes everything else meaningless

 

[thgilrats]

Nothing. If anything, my Heaven should be nothing – a dark abyss where there's no place for consciousness. Just straight up nothing.

 

[nothingbutmybest]

It's kinda unusual but my idea of heaven would be living with omnipotence in this universe but in a way where I'm not real but still exist. Of course I'd power trip and spend the first month entertaining myself as a human with powers: teleporting to vacation spots, do magic tricks, getting good food, sculpting the landscape, splurging on things, etc. etc. But eventually, I'd isolate myself mentally from humanity. If I appear on earth physically, I'm completely imperceptible and I get to watch the world move by without me. Otherwise, I'd be living in my own isolated room in space, a never ending playdate with myself.

These are my thoughts regarding "heaven".

I have always had a theory that there is no such thing as soul, or spirit etc: I believe that everything in the universe is made of physical particles.
I do believe however, that it is possible for " something " to exist after we die. Consciousness could be made up of something physical, yet tiny, like subatomic particles, or something similar.
I do however hope that nothing survives.
Complete non-existence is my idea of heaven.
Any form of existence is pointless, meaningless and futile.

 

[rabid_aspie_yokai]

To feel nothing but love.

Like falling in love for the first time, or a platonic/family-type love? (If that makes sense) either way it sounds wonderful

 

[Source Energy]

Nothing, please. I want no more consciousness and sentience after my ctb. Awareness is the source of all pain.

 

[Kasumi]

I think there is just nothing after we die, but the way I imagine heaven would be some sort of place in the clouds where you can look down on earth and hold tea parties with all the other souls up there.

You're in a dark abyss, you don't have body, just your head, and you don't have consciousness, and dophamine goes inside your brain for all eternity

 

[Darkover]

you got to be a much better machine than any of these on offer here, with far superior intelligence and faster reading thinking writing skills, with the ability to repair all damage

 

[jonghyun]

I like to think of heaven as just like living, except you live the life you've always dreamed and there are no worries, everything is good and right. Say you always dreamed of being a singer. You die and then you can live out life n2, except its synthetic and everything goes perfectly... i also like the idea of becoming "one" with the universe and knowing everything.. being able to travel anywhere and visit people in dreams... becoming part of the lifestream..

 

[SuicidalOrganism]

Off topic but most people think of heaven as a place of eternal bliss and happiness. However, what makes it so hellish is that it is eternal. It never ends, it goes on forever and forever until you get bored of it. And you cannot feel anything else besides happiness and joy. But after a million of years of being there, happiness and joy losses their meaning. The same thing over and over again.

So eternal nothingness without consciousness and existence is true heaven.
Thats what I look forward to. Eternal nothingness after death.

to be with my late grandfather and dog. just a constant beautiful sunset at grandfathers cabin, and feeling of calmness and happiness.
