Death

I know its 'unphilosophical' and therefore not really helpful to the argument; but I believe that when you die, your brain shuts down like when you go to sleep and then some people dress your remains up and then burn you. That doesn't sound too unpleasant to be honest!

I believe this because I am an immense sceptic. I have read parts of a few of the holy books (KJB, Quran and Book of Mormon) but I don't believe them for an instant.
 
You return to what you already are.

You return to the garden that you believe you were cast out of, only you never left.

The drop becomes the ocean.

"You" and "that" become the same thing, that they already are.

Oneness.

this. sleep/unconsciousness seems the most similar state when alive to death, so seems logical that death would be similar. but no one can know for sure, so why bother even thinking about it? jesus this, allah that, fuck em all, no one knows anything and should shut up.
 
if you are a question in this forum, don't worry, someone else will post you again in a hot minute. ;)
 
I believe that we just stop being and there's nothing else.
Logic tells me so.

I'd definitely rather believe something else..I just can't seem to get there.

It seems like it would be similar to the day before our birthday... maybe the next step depens on your level of consciousness
 
Hello people,

Subjective experience, being a conditioned phenomenon just like everything else functions accordingly.
Phenomena arise from causes as an individual appearance, eventually dissolve into a non-individualized state, and rearise as another individual appearance ad infinitum.
In light of conditionality the idea of birth being an actual beginning and death being an actual end doesn't hold up. Reality functions based on the process of causality and it couldn't function otherwise. Something doesn't arise from absolutely nothing and something doesn't dissolve into absolutely nothing. Reality does not function that way.
Everything is made of and comes from the same shit, goes back and comes out again.
 
As Virginia Woolf's character in the movie, The Hours, says "We go back to where we came from." I think this is essentially, correct. I believe, when we die, our soul, our essence, the love and beauty about us, lingers. I think our soul, instead of seeming so concentrated in one person, as it is in this life, becomes diffuse. It is part of the world. Death is finite, but our history, our legacy, the impressions we have made upon the earth are infinite, and can never be destroyed. For instance, my relatives who have died, I believe, live on in me and those they were close to, but also every individual life each one has touched, in some way. We are all, undoubtedly, inter-connect, inter-related. I am not going to say we are one, because we are seperate entities, but we flow together, all of us, everything, in perfect harmony.

I guess it's just that..when I'm having a hard time...
or I see ppl I care about going through such difficult things..
that they have no control over..
I wish there was something better than this life to look forward to.

I think it would be easier to believe in something else..but my brain won't let me.
