I think not :)I suspect it has to be disappointing since gradual disappointment has been the only constant in my life.
Reincarnation sounds silly TBH.do you belive in reincarnation?
We go nowhere and there is nothing after, we will just stop exist in this world.What do you think where do we go after death, or what will happen after death?
This. Just, absolute nothingness. Not even anything to be experienced. Ideally, I'd like to be reincarnated as another human being for a new chance at a better life, but that's my hopes, not what I believe. Banking on this being a matrix like simulation also helps calm the mind lol.We go nowhere and there is nothing after, we will just stop exist in this world.
Dang, I better go right now then! My shit is on E!Hopefully the gas station.
We go wherever Kobain went ;DWhere do suicides go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly.
They go to a lake of fire and fry-
Wont see'em again till the fourth of Julyyy!
J/k..Shit if I know.Seems like someone asks this question on a thread everyother day.Or maybe Im just spending too much time here.
Dang, I better go right now then! My shit is on E!
10 years before you were born, you were nothing.We go wherever Kobain went ;D
Seriously though, if we just stop existing that's fine, but I find it hard to believe when I think about things like what existed before the big bang. I feel like life is a very special thing cosmically speaking. We know so little, so saying we just turn to dust seems arrogant, if even if it's logical.
Yeah, but what if you forget where you came from when you come alive here? Just saying it's a possibility.10 years before you were born, you were nothing.
10 years after you die, you will be nothing.
Just a speck of dust, and no one will remember you.
That reminds me of a story I heard a long time ago,I don't remember where.Yeah, but what if you forget where you came from when you come alive here? Just saying it's a possibility.
Baby, I'm ready, I'm ready, ready, ready to blow my brains out
You die
And words won't do anything
It's permanently night
And I won't feel anything
We'll all be laughing with you when you die
Words won't do anything

Wow, that is a very strong point! I am glad you have your own understanding of how the things work. Was it only DMT that brought you to such an answer to existential problem?You effectively have a DMT trip (google if you need familiarity) as you begin to die. This is what causes the ND experiences people have to make them see hell, angels, Buddha, or whatever else while they're legally dead for those few minutes.
I've never believed in the afterlife since I was 6 years old in Episcopalian mass. I thought the idea was preposterous. But when I experimented with DMT, I went somewhere else. I talked to aliens in tongue, I flew above plants composed of geometrical shapes, but I didn't experience anything I hope to transition to upon death.
So, the fact that your brain is flooded with DMT as you die leads me to believe there may be a chance that your mind sort of collapses into itself but does not cease to exist. Or maybe you just have a wicked DMT trip (they truly last for what feels like a lifetime, according to some) and then you die and it's all black nothingness from there.
But it makes sense to me that the pre-death DMT trip is sort of a preparation for what's next, and that what's next may be based on your own belief systems. On the show "I survived there and back", devout Christians see Jesus or their perception of God. Those who have defected from their church seem to find themselves crawling out of hell, or having conversations with Satan. Women who have had abortions see their child grown up, people who have lost close kin see their close kin again, etc.
This cannot be coincidental in my opinion. And it scares the hell out of me. I have no religion. I have nothing except fear that there is an afterlife that my mind can control, because I have no control over my mind. I have clinically diagnosed OCD and dozens of bad trips in years past; I can only imagine what my brain will decide to show me or where it will bring me when I die. The idea of a personal hell, personal heaven, and anything in between being where we go after we become cadavers absolutely terrifies me.
I've seen some hideous, evil things in my hardest hallucinogenic experiences. I have no control over my mind in a sense - a mind that loves to put me in an awful place (especially on hallucinogens). I also have no spirituality - I don't believe in god unless it's a Deist god, but I do believe that there is evil in this world and in this vast cosmos. Perhaps an evil that is waiting to take control of my reality when I die..
One particular study, DMT Models the Near-Death Experience, "found a significant overlap in nearly all of the NDE phenomenological features when comparing DMT-induced NDEs with a matched group of 'actual' NDE experiencers." This seems to suggest that DMT is a meaningful way to understand what happens when your heart stops beating.
Relevant: When You Die - MGMT - this is a great song in general, especially to find some comfort pre-death. I'm not sure I agree with the moral of the song, but I absolutely love the upbeat tone about death and the relief that comes with it.
