Half of the time I look forward to my death, it doesn’t scare me since I don’t see the real point of my life, what scares me is if my agony would be slow and painful.
But then what? I just stop existing and it’s like I fell asleep? Do I see light? Darkness? Nothing? What is nothing?
It’s just nothing.
Asking what you experience after death is a nonsensical question, you don’t experience anything at all.
What did you see/hear/feel/experience back in 1066 during the Norman Conquest of England?
You weren’t there, you weren’t alive then, so you didn’t experience anything at all.
That same sort of non-experience is what awaits you after death.
How do you know? Can you prove it?
I have no way to tell, one way or another, so I’m not saying you are objectively wrong.
But you sound… Categorical.
Our soul is weighed against a feather by the holy mother. Not like Mary or whatever, the real all powerful 5th dimension all is one in time and space holy mother.
If our soul tips the scale against one’s favor then you are reincarnated… you’re reincarnated into tge sane family however the dynamics keeps changing each time you’re born. You’re sister might be your brother next time and you’re a wife in one life then maybe a fatherless uncle in the next. Anyway once we achieve enlightenment, we are given a choice, stop the cycle or keep going
But it’s a really heavy feather.
You’re dead
Nothing. Was in the hospital for a heart attack last year, my heart stopped for 8 seconds. I was 100% completely unaware. Was told later what had happened.
Some people don’t remember their dreams. Some do.
Anesthesia is different from sleep.
If you don’t remember then how can you tell?
Sometimes you remember dreaming, sometimes you half-remember dreaming, sometimes you remember nothing.
I’m assuming that the unremembered part is full of dreams too.
Yes, assuming, because you never got an EEG that measured which parts of your brain were active while you slept. Which, wait… Scientists have actually done! Wow, surprise 😐. Who could’ve known it.
Fucking dumbass.
E: Hey that’s new, getting downvoted for correcting unscientific wishful thinking magical xmas-land-mumbo-jumbo. Enjoy your minerals and tarot cards, you litany of buffoons 🙄…
Nah, you got downvoted because you are rude.
Dumbass is the new sinner.
Hope your doing well!
Some days are more challenging than others, I spent the last two weeks with the flu and WANTED to die. ;)
Over 4 minutes for me. Can confirm, no concept of time. I slowly became aware of a noise that turned out to be my own breath from chest compressions. Then I became present again.
I think its like being anesthesized or a high dose of nitrous, consciousness slowly fades away, its a bit trippy, can be scary, and then youre gone. Depends on the circumstances though, some deaths are probably a lot quicker than others and you wouldnt feel a thing.
Do you remember what it was like before you were conceived? Like that.
Fair enough, I wish it is that way!
Wait… you all don’t know?
The game will be over, I will remove the VR headset, and continue living my real life. I’m sure in time the memories will fade.
You’ve lived a long life, but a settlement needs your help! Here, I’ll mark it on your map.
Your corpse decomposes.
Nothing is nothing.
I’ll be in the same place I was before I was born.
The connections in my brain that made me me will fail and I will cease to exist, same as before I existed.
What I think or what I hope?
I think it will be just like before I was born. I will become nothing.
I hope that I’m wrong and I will be reunited with my loved ones.
Whatever it was like before you were born. You return to that, literally nothing to be afraid of
Sweet, silent oblivion.
If I’m wrong I’m gonna go full on Karen on whatever jackass is in charge.
When you die you simply wake up in the nearest universe where you didn’t die.
Death is an objective event. It never happens subjectively.
In everyone else’s experience, you die. Your body becomes a corpse and you are no longer there.
In your own experience, you don’t die. The gun doesn’t fire. The car crash never happens. You somehow walk away from the train derailment. Your cancer clears up.
Death exists for other people, never for the self.
Eventually, you become the only living human. You are eternal.
After millions of years, you accumulate enough power to create new people. You do this so you don’t have to be alone. You are now God.
