I hope for the sake of those I've known who have passed that there is some form of afterlife.
Painfully, the cold, logical side of me has me pretty much accepting that all forms of human life end with the terminal cessation of all bodily function.
Don't we have a thread like this?
[QUOTE=Astr0;32985119]Alright guys.
Theist or atheist, doesn't matter.
I wanna know your opinion.
What awaits us when we die? do you have any ideas? I just can't think what it is. Maybe a completely, eternal, lucid dream. but i doubt it. What do you think? Heaven/Hell? Anything? Oblivion? Post it.[/QUOTE]
Remember those trillions of years before you were born?
You won't remember what happens after you die either, because you'll be equally non-existent.
What makes anyone sure they have one year left on the earth, how would you spend your next week.
In fact. How do [I]you[/I] know you have one month left on this planet. What have you done today that you will remember as a good time when on your deathbed. You have done nothing today. You've just wasted one of your last days on Earth.
i'm on the other side
waiting to rape you
Living for eternity would get boring as shit if there's perception of time.

Most likely just how it was before you were born, nothingness, although a lucid dream that lasted forever would be badass, basically it would be like having your own universe.
You don't know what it's going to be like. Where your going to be in the after life, if there is a sort of life when you die. Nobody knows. Now there are things I hope there to be when I die, but you just don't know.
I'd rather have black nothingness than to be reincarnated.
I've speculated what might occur after this life, concerned, if true, we for all eternity will live as the same person. Force to exist this life as our only path in this universe. Fascinating, yet kind of scary, to think I could be typing this same comment in an infinite amount of times.
I really don't know, but what I do believe is that the energy that keeps us alive has to go somewhere after death.
It's an interesting topic to think about. Some regard it as rest, even if there is no afterlife, although if you are dead you cannot enjoy the rest. There's nothing more, in fact the world may as well not exist anymore, it doesn't matter to you, you have no functioning brain to think about it.
It's impossible for the mind to fully grasp the concept of nothingness.

Although it would be a nice surprise if there was some sort of a heaven (and if I was allowed in).

You know some lifeforms live slower than humans.
What I'm saying once you die you might get to experience how 1 second stretches into an eternity.
Would be a nice little goodbye gift to be stuck in an endless Lucid Dream in my opinion, having complete control of your own little universe for aslong as you wish, and you had no perception of time or anything so it would not get boring
I always looked at death as the feeling of being asleep without the feeling of when you're sleeping and know that you're sleeping.
Easier said:
Darkness without feeling, or any knowledge of being there or not.

One interesting theory I heard was the quantum immortality theory, where the moment you die is sort of glazed over in your mind and you continue (in your perception) to live for all time. It's a bit hard to explain, but hopefully you see what I mean. If you don't, run it through Google. It's quite an interesting theory.
Anyway, there will be a long, long rest, until someday, a piece of who you are will end up in a newborn, who'll be you, but not quite you. You won't be able to live again, but he will have access to some of your memories. Or something.

Alan Watts has made many speeches about nothingness and death.

Some time ago a curious theory was introduced that afterlife as an entity is a product of our brain functioning with a complete lack of stimuli mere instances before dying, and extending those few moments into eternity as a result, and manufacturing a world.
It would also technically mean that people from brain damage based deaths do not have such a theoretical effect.
It is interesting to think that since time is nothing but a tool of human perception, it ultimately has the capacity of being infinitely tweaked and stretched, just like anything falling under the category of perception.

And getting periods. I'll pass.
This thread makes me think, what if humanities instinctual fear of death didn't extend into the sapient consciousness?
[QUOTE=Cone;32985383]For instance: in the event that Heaven Hell and God exist.[/QUOTE]
Actually no.. sorry for being all blunt, but these are only products of the human mind.
Doesn't really take much to figure that one out.
Being reincarnated would suck, I dont want to live on this planet anymore after I die.
