[@Bloozguy]

Ha ha.... I've been saying something like this for decades now...with ONE caveat..... I _know_ what will happen when I exhale my last breath....I'll be in the same place I was before I was born. Complete, total eternal rest & bliss. I'll be sad though.... I wanna see what becomes of my daughter & her daughters..... I'll never know, that is the sad truth of death. Never to know what becomes of the future. I just can't fathom that Jebus will be there after saying.... _Ah ha Gotcha!_

[@TheGreatest1974]

There has to be something else after this. There’s too much unexplained stuff happens to lining people- seeing a ghost for example. I’ve seen one. Many people have. Poltergeists that move things etc. there’s SO much that we have no clue about.

My best friend of 38 years passed over the weekend (8-24-2024). I just hope that wherever she is, it is beautiful and that she isn't suffering from cancer anymore.

[@SnifferRiffle]

She is nowhere. She is dead.

[@RedGreen-Blue]

Why did God become the man? So He can save those that died. How? By giving them life. In the book of JOHN chapter 5 verses 25-29 Jesus said not to marvel and question if it is real. It was the reason why he came down to earth, to make possible for the dead to live again. Allan Watts got lost in his own reasoning as he dug himself into a very deep and dark rabbit hole. But the real truth about death and life is explained by the Man Jesus Christ, who was brought back to life after he died by his father who is also our Father. I am the TRUTH, The way and The Life -JC.

I worked as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy. I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, that death is not the end. I have FELT people die. Looked into their eyes as they’ve crossed over. There is an ancient saying, the eyes; are the window to the soul, and when a person dies, their eyes grey..as if, their soul has left. When I say I’ve felt people die, it’s hard to explain and understand what that means unless you’ve experienced it as well. I can tell you consciousness, a soul, whatever you wanna call it, is real. 💜

[@mak23997]

physician here. I have worked in hospitals now over 20 years. Have never felt any souls nor seen a single thing that made me feel there was something else. I have been at the birth of babies and at the death of others. It's sad to think but nothing in nature points to their being some ethereal plain we all go to to just continually exist. It makes no natural sense. Sorry to burst your bubble but mine is a different view point.

[@BarmaBoysAndFamily]

I woke in hospital at the exact time an old lady was about to die in the middle of the night. But it was all strange. I saw a blackness decend from the ceiling. It swallowed the light. There was no noise. I mean no noise. I got out of bed to examine the thick blackness decending. I noticed the clock was at 3.02am. Next thing I remember was waking up. I asked thw nurse where the old lady was and was informed she had dies at 3.04 and they were surprised i wasnt woken up with the commotion of trying to revive her. So I cannot tell you what happens after death. But I can 100 percent tell you a benign and non threatening blackness appears as you die. I saw it. True story.

When I woke I somehow knew she was going but it was all so surreal. No sound, even when i tried to make it. And the darkness smothering the light bulbs as it descended down the wall. I assumed it was all a dream when i woke up, saw the empty bed and asked the nurse. I woke 2 minutes before she passed. And something came to collect her. I am not a nut job.

As the Roman philosopher Lucretius said, "the thought of not existing after my death gives me no more trepidation than the fact that I did not exist before I was born".

[@MosDefnIT88]

How does he know he didn't exist before he was born? Because he doesn't remember? I guess because he didn't remember a dream then he never dreamed right? Or even acknowledge that he's ever slept because he doesn't remember existing while sleeping. He could never have been 2 years old because he doesn't have a memory to prove it. Consciousness, is the entire point of the universe. Consciousness is why everything down to the smallest of chemical reactions happened perfectly for us to be here right now. One degree off and nothing would be here. The big bang banged into existence at the perfect rate of speed. Too fast and nothing would have came together, to slow and it all would have collapsed in on itself. Life would never emerge from lifeless rocks and gases if not for consciousness. If we were to all remember what tf life is, the universe is, then the point of now would be lost. A meteor hitting earth tomorrow doesnt make us or the universe meaningless. It makes the point of life more meaningful. If the big bang is indeed the beginning of this universe, and all matter, all atoms were contained in a singularity the size of a subatomic particle, that means, you and I, were there at the beginning of it all. Consciousness, and the bodies we inhabit were contained in a microscopic point. I don't remember that either. I don't remember dreaming last night although everyone dreams every night. I don't remember anything at 2 years old. I don't remember a past life even though countless kids in earth do. I'm not scared of death. Whether it's close to what I know to be the obvious truth or if it were "not existing." I wouldnt exist to contemplate not existing anymore. As ridiculous as that notion is. You were there in the beginning, you'll be there long after earth is gone. Were the universe experiencing itself. Ourself.

For the breath we still breathe in and out we are not breathing by ourselves but by existing we don’t control ourselves “our body’s” if we could then we would never fell pain or even die. But what ever has been created the breath of life brings everything into existence. So without the breath there no existing no consciousness of nothing.. it goes hand in hand by the saying “which came first.. time or thought? Whelp if you think it’s time no, it was never time.. what about thought? No.. because the “words” came second.. you have to come up with the words to produce any time or thought.. but before you can come up with words you have to be breathing before anything.

It doesn’t matter but if u r curious- I’ve once embraced then grappled and ultimately, dramatically lost faith. & now closer to death my beliefs only settle deeper.

But, maybe I can ‘haunt’ lived ones in good ways (hang on lemme explain), and in that way, I DO sort of believe I will have found a way to traverse the divide. For example: I arrange a specially curated playlist, to surprise my husband on Father’s Day. Have special books mailed to my daughter at key life stages. Make sense?

Jesus Christ is the real solid hope for all, the living and the dead. He will come to you if you will let him in, to show you that death now is not the end. Death was brought to us not by God, yet he will destroy death sickness and pain forever. Human wisdom is born from imperfection. It has no true value because only the absolute truth has the absolute value. "I am the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE" said Jesus. He gives life to those who want life and it is a gift. Humans can never pay for that life it is that precious.

typical christian: i asked a christ bot friend once a question totally unrelated to religion... he proceeded to address as though he were Paul writing an epistle to some ancient church.. full of flowery rhetoric, jargonism, and bible verses. i asked no bryan.. just tell me (inquiry)... lather rinse repeat with infinitely more jargon. i explained i no longer walk your path. i need an answer. just be you for a moment.. the you who was my friend once... more jargon. i ended the friendship. he traded one insanity and addiction for another and became a religion junkie. i do not need that in my life. when my father, head deacon of his church rotted from cancer despite thousands of prayers good intending christbots actually told me 'your father clearly was not saved because if he really had faith he would have got his miracle'.... then proceeded to lecture me with the bible. if the religious zealots would just stop for 30 seconds before opening their mouths they could do so much better for their god through their witness with love rather than words. "(hugs gently) there is nothing i can say or do that will end your pain. this road you will ultimately have to walk on your own with whatever you hold as GOD. know i will be here if for no other reason than to hold your hand until you draw your last breath.... and wipe the final tear from your cheek. i will be here to pray WITH you if you wish and i will pray for you in my way but know i will be here." even that would be infinitely more of a positive witness than preaching. wow. smh...

As an RN it would be a contradiction in your education and practice as an RN to think otherwise beyond the clinical death in which the person ceases to exist, no magic just death, many want to believe in the feel good stuff but common sense of the end of life is that it is the end, no more for the one that has died, the reward for having lived is that we do not know anything after we die so nothing matters, we no longer have to struggle in the life we were in, don't know how you could have seen where your patient went, you didn't go there unless you are speaking of the mortuary which is in fact clean and bright.

Then what, drift until the universe expands to a point of not seeing another star, then watching all the stars die one by one, after that watching black holes die, til all the atoms fizzle out amd all that's left is radiation? What if the next vessel is in a third world country plagued by famine and more suffering? Then the next is worse yet? If we die and just go into another new vessel, it seems as if we will jist have to keep experiencing different levels of life, and there's an absolute certainty some will be WAY worse off and some will be way better off.. and it WILL end at some point.. I wouldn't want to be in the generation of mankind that has to find a way to get off world or be engulfed by the sun when it enters its red giant stage.. also if we are just a spiritual entity hopping to new vessels, maybe we are just ONE being, experiencing ALL of human life, one at a time, until ALL human life has been lived and extinguished, then at the end maybe we merge into the one Tru spirit form that we are. A god? A star? Mere energy without the ability to experience anymore? The idea of death, afterlife, nonexistence, reincarnation, or the like. All are terrifying.

He never asked you to believe anything - just put his own thoughts out there for your consideration - and from him I learned that spirituality can contain humor and that life is too serious to take seriously. No one talk by the man can contain him; his wit and insight is revealed through all the intriguing thoughts he shared and his 'element of irreducible rascality' - his term. It's so nice to visit with him through his talks from time to time.

Non-existence before your birth isn't the same as physical death. Because physical life is a kind of imprint on the soul. When you die, that imprint of your existence continues on.

I don’t write very well but I’m thinking of taking Voice journals to save that I can listen to many years later.

I have a few memories from around age 1& 1/2 to 2 years old. I can't believe someone's memories go back only to 7 or 8. That's weird.

I belief we come from something infinite. We come to earth in this vessel not knowing we are infinite, to experience a tangible/ meaningful period of time.

Energy is never wasted. Heat is never lost, it is transferred from one body or object to another. Therefore, once you become conscious, even death cannot end your consciousness.

@@munkeeboi1982 yes unless you think people are born with complete divine consciousness? Most people get here and are taught to be ego-minded and forget their spiritual origins.

@@mcross320 If we go back to spirit consciousness anyway then what do we need to learn about it in life? Why does one need to be spiritual in the world of the living?

[@mcross320]

@@munkeeboi1982 Your spirit is locked in the here and now. That is where the lessons come from. In the spirit world there are no definitions of space and time, of pain and suffering or trauma or even a longing like here.

Best line on death was from Movie "LONESOME DOVE" Someone asks the Mexican cook guy. What he thinks happens when we die. He replies.." Nothing much, were just dead"... Loved that response. We dont know it, we dont feel it, like no big deal.... Thought it was profound from the moment of some guy stirring Frijoles!..

Great series.

If you’re reading this, in 1879 you had no thoughts. No stress. You felt nothing. And that’s what I believe is our fate at the end of this journey. And it gives me motivation to try and truly enjoy this experience. Of course I don’t want to die. I don’t want to be in the ground and maybe my kids need me. That’s what scares me. But I can’t control it once I’m gone. All I can do is give them the best tools to survive as I did. Peace to everyone reading this. Remember, it’s only life.

I remember flying everywhere before I came here to my mother's womb before I was born. I remember descending and seeing my parents on a big ship in the SF bay and remember exactly what they were wearing. I grew up with this memory and at the age of 35 asked my father if they were on this ship and described what they were wearing. He asked who told me this and how did I know this. I said I just remember seeing you and I was descending from above. He didn't understand how I knew this. 😊

[@ziff_1]

we are all the same thing. We are all components of the universe. Mr Watts is correct here, IMO, that if the universe will sprout up consciousness, it will continue to do so. You cannot help but exist. It is the only state that can be experienced. All you know is existence, your first memory ... till now.

What if while we sleep we are living our real lives and while we are awake we are sleeping in our real lives and so our lives are really the dream? 🤔
