HAIL DEATH! Why death is not to be feared

[@eliharman]

The Virgin Transhumanism Fears death and seeks to avoid it. Lives only for pleasure. Easily manipulated and controlled by threats of witheld pleasure, death, or anything in between. Has no higher purpose. Still totally subservient to someone else's. Can't even choose whose. Still dies. Vs. the Chad Heroism. Faces, accepts, and transcends death. Lives for family, kin, nation, honor and gods. Finds satisfaction through struggle, discomfort, pain, and sacrifice to achieve noble objectives. Laughs at threats, rushes into danger to retaliate against them. Free by nature, willingly accepts hierarchy in order to better destroy enemies. Achieves immortality by leaving a glorious legacy and biological offspring.

[@wegfarir1963]

Death is inevitable

[@marcusporcius9842]

Nice one but remember the tranhumanist does not have to be a virgin to a total loser. Transhumanist Chad can have "safe" sex with a huge range of partners and if he gets only pleasure but leaves no issue, he is no better than a eunuch and his ancestors weep in their shame. A virgin who has no fear of death and dies bravely for his family or people before he can leave issue has still done more biologically.

[@bingusbongus1656]

@@JorvikBerserkir My thoughts exactly. When we have top scientists and multiple fields of study openly admitting that they can't explain the sheer complexity of the Universe, I find it laughable that some people say there isn't an afterlife. I'm not sure what it is, whether it be a different dimension that only our consciousness goes to, another plane of existence or reality, another universe it doesn't matter, we all go somewhere after we "die", it's just that our past memories are all erased and we're remade almost entirely for our new existence in another way. Even then, if you're worried about death for some reason, do something extraordinary. Raise a family, invent something new, contribute to science and the betterment of Humanity, all of these things and more guarantee that you'll live on (rent free) in Human history and in the thoughts, minds and memories of others.

Yuval's idea of pleasure is so incredibly animalistic and devoid of any higher meaning.

Agreed, their goal is to enslave people through the desire for sensual pleasures and instant gratification, they want to present such pleasures as the ultimate reward in life.

Lost my maternal grandmother about 2 months ago and it feels like yesterday. I came to terms rather quickly that she wasn't around anymore, but she lives through her hardwork, memories and impact she left on me. Although I have the wish to see her again, but the fact that i cremated her body with my own hands, collected the ashes and the bones and then submerged them in the river really helps a lot in cementing the fact that she is never coming back. I do miss her but I don't feel sad over it. She continues to lives on within me.

It's nice to be able to think this way . Having just lost my grandfather he used to take care of the local squirrels and birds but particularly his favourite was a greater spotted woodpecker.

[@AxisMundi120]

This is an excellent video about an important topic. I'll just add this: Honorable deaths can take many forms. Socrates, for example, died while conversing with his friends about the immortality of the soul. He had no fear while his friends wept. His last words were his request for his friends to make an offering to Asclepius, God healing. Facing death without fear helps the spirit ascend to a higher form of being. The example of Socrates is important for pagans living in times of relative peace. The most important battle where you must prove your valor is when you face death, be that on the battlefield or in a final moment of farewell when you part ways with your loved ones. Do so while overcoming fear.

[@andykaufman7620]

I worked on this 6:22. I called it 'Transcendence Through Experience'. Experience forms a medium through which we cultivate insight. I also say "Death is a Natural aspect of Life' or 'death is a natural part of Life'. Death is the complementary opposite of life, but the world, or cosmos has an inherent Tension, and what we think of as 'evil', 'death', and 'decay' are necessary and natural outcomes of that tension, because that tension is necessary. The Cosmos will not function without it.

He wanted me to grieve with dignity, as a loved one, and it is a tremendous blessing to receive such a communication of love from a spirit who is ascending, and to be given information that I could not have possibly known otherwise.

So whatever traditions you followed and whatever gods you worshipped would be intergrated into the Christian religion. So the christians strayed from the doctrines Jesus taught and fell into an apostasy. As for it not being Indo-European, the Northern tribes of Israel were enslaved by the Assyrian empire sometime around 700BC and many were relocated to the area north and east of the Black Sea and would be part of that great migration to the west into Europe.

The most precious thing in life is its uncertainty. Consider living creatures-none lives so long as man. The May fly waits not for the evening, the summer cicada knows neither spring nor autumn. What a wonderfully unhurried feeling it is to live even a single year in perfect serenity! If that is not enough for you, you might live a thousand years and still feel it was but a single night's dream. We cannot live forever in this world; why should we wait for ugliness to overtake us? The longer man lives, the more shame he endures. To die, at the latest, before one reaches forty, is the least unattractive. Once a man passes that age, he desires (with no sense of shame over his appearance) to mingle in the company of others. In his sunset years he dotes on his grandchildren, and prays for long life so that he may see them prosper. His preoccupation with worldly desires grows ever deeper, and gradually he loses all sensitivity to the beauty of things, a lamentable state of affairs.

To have faith in truth is to become like its virtue, key of all grace. In this there is no longer any death, but only an agless, eternal inheritance of light consisting in the very substance of meaning. This virtue is the increase of the praise of the glory of our creator in the ordinal offering of ourselves as pure and set apart for the service of the Word in grace. This kind of death is not to be accepted. But by this law of freedom in truth through fait we are ressurected into the age of ages.

Death is not loss. Death is reunion. Reunion with Nature, reunion with Cosmos, reunion with Divine Ocean.

I think the fundamental difference between me and the common academic view of life is that I view the very first life form to the very last life form to be a single organism, connected by bloodline. I think odin's ravens are the most poignant metaphor to explain this. I also think the story of the first sin in the Bible pretty accurately describes when everything took a turn and religion went from a symbolic representation of the human condition to a psyop designed to control through fear and empty promises. Just pay close attention to the language used. People used to believe that the allfather used thought and memory to explore the world before returning each night. Ie, we are the ravens, qnd returning to odin is death. Then some Semitic woman realized she was going to die and started making sure everybody else knew it and used this new fear to manipulate them. Now, as a society, we still have the fear of death, but we've realized the promises weren't true, so people need to find another way to cope. Rather than look at the reality that people have understood for eons, they just look for new false promises. Or, more frustratingly, they'll do psychedelics and come to the correct conclusion about life, but miss the importance of death.

My ancestors, the Dacians laughed and made great feasts when someone passed away and cried and mourned when a child was born

Most wild animals fear pain but accept death. You need to see this in wilderness

I tried exploring and thinking over how Death gives meaning to Life. If the situation was reversed, where Life is eternal and Death is only temporary - would you say Life gives meaning to Death? No - you'd call it a disease, a problem, something that robs people of their freedom. If Death gives meaning to Life, we wouldn't exert it upon others as a punishment or do our utmost to avoid it or defeat it. Death takes away from us brilliant minds, wonderful performers, people who hold great potential and bring the vibrancy of Life to our Lives that we cherish so much. So; Death does not give meaning to Life - it takes it away. The universe seeks to destroy us through natural means and entropy - we must overcome them. Humanity's destiny is personal ascension, cultural homogenization and optimization through biological apotheosis. We have the will and power to defy the reality that never wanted us to exist in the first place.

Some immortals only wish they could die. It's their greatest dream. This is why some gods and angels envy the human condition, because life is so precious and has a special beauty because everything passes away. I'm cool with this. The consciousness that is afforded by a human body is pretty remarkable. Continually amazed at its capability and its resilience. I'm discovering new things all the time. It is also clearly not mine. And I am just looking through it. it doesn't have to be that big of a deal. The idea of being a rebel, because of this condition, sounds pretty cool though. I'm in.

In north German folklore personalized death is called "Freund (Friend) Hein". Bismarck adressed him during the last days of his life. By asking his doctor: Is my Freund Hein standing still outside or has he already entered this room?

[@mrgreyman3358]

I have almost died multiple times. I am of the belief that death has an avo out against me. he keeps running away whenever he sees me coming.

[@jackd3808]

@9:00 Look at the robots mankind create and compare them to organisms as complex as man. Organisms are infinitely superior to anything we have designed. Thinking that the human brain which created the computers is the result of infinite "perfect accidents" is like looking at your lap top and thinking "the big bang created this. Some rocks exploding in space and accidentally smashing together created this computer." We are the creator of the computer. We are superior. However something far superior to us must have designed us to be this way. How can people look at life and see how perfect it is and think it happened by infinite accidents, but then look at a cheap technological imitation and think that "this is intelligent design."

I faced a near death experience in river rapids... I survived and I no longer fear death. I heard the Virgin Mary's voice when I escaped, but weirdly enough the experience brought me to Hinduism and Paganism.

[@a_son8549]

I wish I could be there for this exchange of dialogue. I am from a tribe in the northeast of India that is a beautiful amalgamation of our traditional religion of animism with Hinduism. I am fascinated by paganism and how, having developed in places so far apart, our gods, prayers and beliefs at large are so similar.

[@Arnsteel634]

Death is a fact and some can’t handle that we may overcome it because of tradition and it has always been that way.

@Nihilistic Misanthrope It is the end of your body, but your soul will live on afterwards.

[@dustingh]

@Nihilistic Misanthrope How do you know that "it scientifically is the end"? Have you experienced death before? Or do you simply believe "it scientifically is the end" without knowing it is? I do not know for certain that "it is the end of your body, but your soul will live on afterwards", but rather I believe that statement without knowing whether or not I'm right because I am alive as of now and thus know nothing about being dead. But neither do you. You also know nothing about being dead and thus you believe "it scientifically is the end" without knowing whether or not it is.

[@CoolGuyAtlas]

@Nihilistic Misanthrope Science isn't ultimate truth. It's us slowly trying to learn how our world works and is being updated regularly. Plus we can only perceive such a small part of our own world. Some animals have many more senses or better senses than we do, so ruling out spirits/souls/whatever is like us ruling out germs or atoms because we can't see it
