What do you think happenes after death

[DivineSpark]

I think there is something, but I dont really care. Must be better than this hellhole planet. I have read tons of near death experiences.

 

[Gangrel]

I think it's silly when someone says it's FACTUAL and ACTKTCHUALLY TRUE affirming that nothingness happen like we literally don't know, evidence points to it but it literally don't know anything, the universe is a fucked up thing that we can't comprehend might as well not devote time to things we can't know nor understand.

When the sun explodes and when the all the planets are gone replaced by black holes and when the black holes and stars start to fade and thrillions and quadrillions of quadrillions of years pass does time even exist if nothing is there to even experience it? then it starts over again another type of concept of planets appears? like why? how? none of it makes sense at all. Make your best.

Exactly this. The way I've described it was teleportation, I was on the bed and then all of a sudden I was being revived by paramedics on the floor. It felt like no time had passed at all. As I was in the process of dying however, for just a little bit, I had weak awareness of noises around me and feelings, but I wasn't conscious enough for my brain to really process it or for it to mean anything. It's all a blur. There was nothing when I died, nothing at all. Try to think back to before you were born, just lack of existence. The void.

That's honestly such a relief and gives me some peace.

 

[Eternal Illusions]

No, the more likely thing that will happen at death is that you will phase your consciousness inward and your energy body will go to another parallel dimension, in other words the afterlife. But it's not God that will judge you but rather the physics of consciousness will create your reality there. There are many levels in the afterlife. It's a spectrum.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm hoping for nothing. The other alternatives are mostly too horrible to rationally contemplate.

 

[Christian5483]

I really want to believe that the reincarnation theory is true. I hope that happens after death.
I've always thought about many variations of this theory. How long will it take before you are born again? A second, a year, 100 years. Will you be born in the same place/country? Can the place of death influence where you are born?
A very strange possibility comes to mind when I think about this. If you are reincarnated instantly after you die, then it is very possible that you will meet up with friends or family members from your previous life at some point. Too bad you will never know that

 

[Forever Sleep]

When we die, we will no longer exist, it is factual. But can we really think that from non-existence nothing is possible anymore? In this case, if we think that then how to explain that from the inexistence we ended up existing at our birth?

Things will obviously go on being born and becoming conscious. Maybe forever somewhere- who knows? Unless this is the only place that spawned sentient life and when the sun quits/ explodes/ implodes/ whatever, it kills it all off.

However, asides from a tiny fraction of people who claim they remember past lives, I'm not sure these new lives would have much to do with 'you' or 'me'. Just the same as we can pity those who came before us and suffered yet, very few of us actually have memories of their suffering. So- it just feels (to me) like pitying the poor creatures that get dragged into this mess in the future but- I believe they will be separate to me. (Personally.)

 

[intintint]

I really hope there's nothing, that's the most reassuring thing that could happen in my opinion. Unending and infinite consciousness in any form whatsoever sounds like hell. Being conscious (or recycled-conscious) FOREVER sounds so exhausting.

 

[SecretDissociation]

I think that when we die reality ends. We cannot think, so nothing technically exists around us. Maybe the world continues sure, but our reality ends. Nothing matters anymore. After year people will have your memories and your physical body would be six feet under or ashen dust. Only memories would persist. Heaven hell or whatever would cease to even be a possibility because our brains are no more. we would be gone.

 

[Salting the wounds]

It's a bit scary, isn't it?
the eternity of non-existence

I've had the same thoughts... If there is only one life and you decide to CTB tomorrow, then the world ends tomorrow. For you there is no difference. Existence hinges on the observer. Consciousness alone is. Sounds a bit like Solipsism.

That or after an immeasurable amount of time we-emerge into a body with consciousness much like we did in this one, neither life or death is eternal.

But if humanities knowledge were to reset, science could be rebuilt. Could the major religions say the same?

 

[genie]

I believe in eternal return, after death you're reborn as yourself. I really hope you can change things next cycle. Only our perception of time is linear, it's possible it cycles round after death. Big crunch theory is gaining more traction too.

Isekai'd into an anime world.

 

[pithyone]

We all came from nothingness into existence at some point. Logically it follows then, that you can expect to return to "something" from "nothing" again, at some point, somehow.

 

[Johnsonn]

I don't know, but I hope there is something beyond this. A lot of people have different near death experiences and describe different things.

I knew a person, she died from cancer but she also had 2 near death experiences in the 90s. One when she was giving birth to her 3rd child and one from a brain tumor. She said it was very peaceful and calming and that she felt very warm, she did not wish to come back. I believe her, but of course we have rational explanations about what the NDE is, i.e. a dreamstate you're entering when you're close to death.

 

[Wilt-On-High]

As someone whose flatlined twice I can say with a certainty that it's nothing. You come into this world as nothing and leave it as nothing

Now THIS is EXACTLY what I think

 

[metalgarurumon]

I don't know, maybe there is an afterlife, or maybe there is nothing. Anywhere or nothing at all I s better than here.

 

[outrider567]

Not much

 

[Confusedsoul12345]

This is the question/thought has kept me from being active suicidal for so many years ( although I always to die even during rare happy movements but never tried to CTB instead tried to live through all of that) now that I can't continue that anymore and need to CTB as soon as method is available.

Looking back I think this question or worry was just different form of SI

 

[Jaded_Wolf]

I think the short answer is we simply cease to exist.

I feel there's a very poignant question of "if I didn't exist prior to my birth, why would I continue to exist after my death?"

 

[usernamenoonecares]

Isekai'd into an anime world.

Better be a protagonist. Most of time side characters' fate aren't good. I would like to be reincarnated into an anime world I like or cross-worlds. Meeting characters I like. That's be a dream come true.

I like this a lot. It's like a strange hybrid of a caustic Koan.
