Not too long ago I'd have this problem with extreme anxiety to the point where I couldn't sleep because of the thought of "What if I were to not wake up the next morning?" After a while and some thinking it just took some acceptance that I do not comprehend things beyond my grasp. And the only way to be content with dieing is to live life now and to make sure you can do what you feel is necessary to justify your existence. FER REAL BITCH. | ||

I find it stranger to think that before we were born into this world billions of years passed in the creation of the Universe and that after we die billions of more years will pass all without us knowing it. | ||

Have you ever looked at the moon and realized that we are all beings, standing on a planet, watching a huge rock orbit us, with planets and stars in the distance? We are standing on a PLANET. A celestial body. An insignificant portion of the universe. And our existence ends when we die. Forever. | ||

No soul transcends, no white light, no paradise, nothing. You just die and cease to exist. And isn't it a little egoistic to believe you have a soul but my cat doesn't? Why are you more important to the nature than my cat? You both have brains which work in similar patterns and etc. The way I view Earth is like it is a particle in the Universe and a huge ecosystem for all the living beings on it. And when a living being dies it is insignificant for the whole ecosystem. When a species dies it can create a niche which is filled by another species and that's the whole cycle. Only a huge cataclysm can shatter this balance and we know those cataclysms - meteors, nuclear weapons, losing the ozone layer etc. | ||

I have nothing but a new self concious will be create and I can look at the reality again but it doesnt have anything that I have from the previous life. Then it is me or not? I dont know in the end I guess after you die you are gone. kinda sad ending... If you are referring to matter that you are build from, then you are wrong becouse atoms that create you change constantly, you are build from diferent atoms then you were last year. Ultimately it is all the same rock, worm, and you is build from the same thing, the only thing that is diferent is how that thing is connected, how those atoms interact with each that result in your brain, or the worm. As soon as this specific correlation case to exist you will not exist. You could alweys say that you can't be sure, but you can't be sure about anything, you can't be sure that there is no invisibole assassin in your house, and worrying about it seems as reasonable as worrying about after death scenarios. Beyond reasonable doubt we know that there are no invisibole assassins, and that there is no life after death, based on everything that we know about how the world works, and what is life. | ||

If you realize this and disregard it and just live out your life, it's like you sold out and are doing all the standard life struggle shit like every other sheep. Like even if you were to argue that you can live a happy,rich life. We all die and it won't make a bit of difference. Since the ends are all the same the means aren't justified. | ||

You know how sometimes you cut a sandwich in half and then you eat the first half and think you're all done, but then you realize that you have a whole other half of deliciousness to go through? That first half would be life, and the second half would be my afterlife. I'm content with the first half, but just as happy to know there's more to come. | ||

you can imagine source like all waters in the world, they are ultimately the same thing, and you can transform one easily into another, one flows into another. Or even better, source is the air humidity. Then you decide to come to earth a bit to experience the life here, and then you become the drop and chose a place to drop on. Then you die (you turn into humid air) and then you go all over again. thats what I believe now, dunno if it fits any official religion.. | ||

However, I comfort myself by thinking that living forever would suck really, really, hard. Eternal consciousness would mean that you would experience the same things an infinite amount of times. Eventually, everything would become tiring, repetitive, and boring. You would wish for death. Now, I do wish life was longer so that we could experience everything at least once, but that is only wishing. Now I just try to live my life as best I can and have as much fun as possible, not caring what other people think. Go for your dreams and fuck the haters. And in a more physics sense, you are already dead in another spot on the fourth dimension. Don't worry about it. Your in a phase, and it will pass with age. Now, go play some SC and enjoy. | ||

Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Show respect to all people, but grovel to none. When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh | ||

Because thinking of nothingness is an oxymoron, you can't literally think about what it would be like to not think. If you were able to understand it, chances are you weren't thinking too hard or you are lying. Yeah, but to the OP. If its any comfort I doubt any of the religions we see in existence today are even close to worshiping a real and actual god if one were to hypothetically exist. Man created god in his image and used religion as a form of control. I don't think there is much if anything truly spiritual about religion. But hey, I guess I am a cynic. I choose to take what I see as the only logical view, Agnosticism. There are generally two forms of it. One is not believing you can proof or disproof the existence of God, which I hold as true. The other generally is the denouncing of any practicing religion as being truth. You essentially believe in a higher being, but not any of the religions around. You could also believe a combination of the two. I have thought about God life and death for so long that I am over it now. I have come to accept that I will never have the answer until I am dead and at that point it won't matter. I don't think its likely that everything I am, everything I will be will one day fall into non existence. Because then essentially life would be just a reprieve from nonexistence wouldn't it? If so why would we ever experience life? What decided that we should exist purely to inevitably not exist again? I feel like Buddhism is the closest to truth than any other religion. I don't think heaven and hell could exist and the rigid rules set forth from religions like Christianity and Islam. Question faith and go to hell? Why would this supposed God give us free will then subsequently punish us for it? I am calling bullshit. Ascending to a higher plane seems more likely. As in when you die you take a form of energy that would retain your experiences. Basically of you TL;DR this. Place value on the one truth we can all acknowledge, life. Life is the one constant we all have and all know to be true. We all at one point live, and at another we die. So enjoy every moment of your life and make of it what you will. The only true "sin" so to speak that I believe in is wasting life. The one thing you know as truth. If you think going to church is a good use of your life then do it. If it makes you feel better to sit in a church for 2-3 hours on a Sunday then do it. I think it is a waste of the gift of life to piss away 2-3 hours a week doing something that I DO NOT enjoy. I'd rather play some video games, or spent more time with family and friends. | ||

Without the picking part I think this essentially refers to Buddhism/Hinduism. Reincarnation until purity? According to those religions (I am by no means an expert) I believe you have to keep achieving good in your life and then move up in classes when reincarnated. If you believe that to be true, then you were an evil asshole, and now your an Ethiopian. Not saying Ethiopian's deserve that, I am just saying how it can be interpreted. | ||

Another thing, take care about your health and if you make it to old age, your body will start rotting and decomposing over a long period of time, your brain will start dissolving as well making it harder to think complicated thoughts and that's until you don't realize who you are. Combining with all the life experience you had, death have to become that much more acceptable. But yeah, right now death is hard to accept from where i stand, when you start to analyze what it truly is, it sucks so bad. That's one of the benefits of religion too, you don't realize that it's similar to unconsciousness or dreamless sleep * infinity and believe in fairy tales, where death is not only not bad, but is awesome. | ||

But while I was thinking about that stuff i came to think of something even more absurd and hard to imagine. Like all the soul stuff aside, what happens to our body. you decompose and you can't possibly imagine what will happen to your body. Like the atom that is at the tip of your nose, what will happen to it? what journey will it take? maybe the atom that's at the tip of my nose will be in some plant, or part of bacteria or part of a plant and that plant carries fruits and a mother eats those fruits and in her womb there is a little baby growing and i become a part of it. maybe the atom will be at the tip of the nose of another human being in idk how many years. So what happens to you? You become part of so much more..... + Show Spoiler + btw: I didn't eat shroomies -.- | ||
