Death, your views?

well then i guess that commandment comes from higher up. st peter is just the one who enforces it, and he carries a BIG gun.
 
Good for him, I know if I was the son of god, I'd be lazy as hell. Why not hire a bunch of mexicans to build it? I'm the freaking son of god for christ sake, why should I be doing manual labor?
 
Strangely enough I have never feared my impending death in the far-off future...it's not something I ponder on at all. I only truly fear the pain that will come with the future death of my loved ones, or people close to my heart. I fear more for others than myself.
 
you may be a king or a mere street sweeper but sooner or later you'll dance with the reaper.
 
I'm not afraid of death.
I'd like to imagine that wherever our souls end up after this life is somewhere 100000X better then here. Whether it be heaven, nirvana, w.e as long as it's somewhere pleasant. I really hope thats what happens. We'll never no for sure until we're there.
 
Death is always a fun topic.

It brings up the afterlife, where it turns into some kind of utopian escape from the dreadful, dreary existence that you live now. Which would be awesome.

Some of you think we start living ALL over again. As if once wasn't enough.

Then there's you science heads, with your Ockham's Razor approach to the subject - boring, yet effective.

As for me, I'll focus on being alive right now. When I die, I'll start to give a fuck - or not.;)

When you die your consciousness ceases to exist. We can't comprehend that so we make artificial constructs to cope with it. I've never feared death itself, I'll simply cease to exist, doesn't sound very traumatic.

ditto.

the act of dying could sure suck, and be traumatic as hell, tho.

ive always imagined it to be like dreamless sleep-- simply non-existance.

and what if you accidentally fall into a wood chipper? or a car accident?

you dont always get to pick the circumstances of your demise

And Im afraid of dying at 100 unable to move. I'd rather die at 60 jumping out of a plane...

That's pretty much how I think to. I dunno why people wish to live as long as 100 years, you're basically just watching yourself grow old and useless. I maybe looking at it too negatively, but I don't see myself making it past 60...
 
I don't find death morbid, nor do I sleep with taxidermied moose-heads, so don't get the wrong idea.

Life's a trip and then you get there. It's actually pretty comforting for me to think of it that way, as one certainty that everybody gets to face.

I do have an irrational fear of lawn mowers. Every time I mowed the lawn I would imagine myself getting sucked into it. Maybe its a sign. But its highly unlikely. How many people do you know that have died in woodchippers, honestly?
 
^^^^

You could die of a heart attack or a car accident, both of which are very common and neither of which would give you enough time to grab your DMT and smoke or shoot it. Do you keep some DMT in your car in a syringe right now in case you get in a roll over accident you can shoot some DMT real quick before you die? What if you are passed out?

Or what if you die in the hospital, where they won't let you smoke or shoot DMT? Do you have a arrangements for a family member to come in and visit you and sneak you a shot of DMT, shortly before you die? Do you think your family member will want to take the legal risk? Shooting you with anything before you die looks like a murder.

I've watched people die. You never really know for sure whats going on. When you're seriously ill, you don't know if this is really it, or if your going to beat the illness. When you get in a serious accident, you don't know if its really it, or if you are going to pull through. And even if the doctor tells you you are terminal, you never know exactly how or precisely when its gonna happen unless you plan it out at that point.

And thats about the only way you can 'plan' your death and have some reasonable control over it, i.e. have a suicide plan.

And if you're in a lot of physical pain when you are dying, you're gonna wanna do DMT? Personally, I'd prefer ketamine if I was gonna be in a lot of pain. ;)

I was actually refering to the hypothesis that DMT is released by your pineal gland as you die. I should have made that clear after wesmdow's post. If the hypothesis is true, the only way the DMT wouldn;t get released is if my brain was somehow destroyed very quickly, i.e. in a woodchipper, car accident, gunshot wound to the head, etc. I thought thats what he was talking about. Sorry for the confusion.
 
I think I'll be rotting in the ground. I think its foolish to presume that your mind is somehow separate from your body, and that your mind can exist without it.

If I do not know what death actually is, so how can I be afraid of it? I believe death is something contrary to everything that human beings can comprehend.
 
My views on death are quite simple. You die , you go back into the earth, end of story. To be honest i would rather my corpse was sat under a tree in a national forest or something similar (though i imagine this might be a bit harsh on any passers by so, buried without a coffin will have to suffice). I just find something quite comforting in the fact that my death would in turn go on feeding life on this planet in whatever form it takes be it large or small.
 
gawd some of you really get into this one!

when i die my consciousness ends, and i thank whatever did it. hopefully before this happens i can look back on my life and be happy, but only if i actually do something worth being happy about.

to me the idea of being afraid of death is stupid. when i'm dead i will no longer be conscious of what is happening, and so it can't be bad, or something to be feared. if i am conscious, well then i'll probably go find god and kill it, or spend the rest of existance trying. ok that kind of scares me.

to those that believe in consciousness after death... eventually your consciousness would evolve into a different personality, and this would make your experience on earth practically irrelevant... be more afraid of that!
