Author Topic: What do you think happens after we die?  (Read 3686 times)

it's scary, isn't it?
yeah
also, if the theory that the afterlife is just an unconscious state for eternity, you probably can't even remember anything that ever happened, let alone that you even exist

my theory: we become dead

I think I simply cease to be. Beyond comprehension. I experience nothing. I am nothing.

It scares me a bit, because I don't want to not exist.
But there's some solace in that I will no longer be sad or afraid of not existing because I won't exist.


If that's not the case though, I hope I get to go to an afterlife or a heaven.
I don't want to be reborn/reincarnated, at least not by any of the understandings of contemporary religions.
In all of those your memories and personality are wiped clean. And that's what makes me me. There's no difference there from simply ceasing to exist.


We decay.
You maybe, but I've been self administering sub-cutaneous injections of formaldehyde for years.

And how does the cancer feel?

if you reach crit and stay in crit too long, your screen goes perma black thanks to a sequence bug and the game won't reload automatically, it's really stupid and it should be loving patched lmao

Understandable, but your interpretation of ceasing to be may stem from your fear of not existing in this physical form.

despite whatever scientific research has been put out to either prove or disprove this concept of an existence of an afterlife, there has to be one, it'd be ignorant in a sense for the "universe" to not produce one or already have one. I've had many of these discussions and despite wether the afterlife be the christian heaven or the flying spaget monster in the sky (neither I believe in), one of many interpretations I have of what is next is, well, whatever you interpret it as. It's already been proven that realities are subjective so who isn't to say that you believing that you'll cease to exist after this will result in you actually ceasing to exist, as that is what you output into the "universe" at all times or maybe even in your final moments, me on the other hand could continue to exist in god knows what form just simply because well, that's what I think'll happen.

It's a really touchy subject as there is no true answer and usually they all sound equally dumb depending on the context they're in, such as someone hearing me just saying "it's what you want it to be man" might be like "forget you that's not true blackjack and hookers won't be waiting up there you prick", but they forget stuff like that won't even be relevant in that point in time.

also I haven't done so myself, and this isn't even a recommendation but an option, if you choose to possibly change your viewpoint on this subject, Shrooms or LSD or any other revelation inducing drug would help you out. again, don't even have to bother but that stuff is like last resort.
