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!_

@@tim59ism _The brain doesn't produce consciousness_ Gotta love the internet for the amazing & astounding lack of evidence containing commentaries. About 99.9% of all things that have ever lived on planet earth are extinct. That means, the .1% left, is everything we can see today...all plants, animals, see creatures...anything that utilizes the energy of the sun. That's as astounding & mind boggling amount of death planet earth has seen. Once you die, that's it. There's no seeing anyone or anything again. All the more reason to celebrate & enjoy the life we have before us....and to keep those dear to us deep in our memories....as fading as they may be.

[@keithwalmsley1830]

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.

Instead of thinking of us as a "body with a soul" change your perspective and you'll see we are "spirits or souls with bodies". We're occupying our current form and when it wears out, onto another vessel. At least that's my hope.

My God that sounds exhausting.

[@kevinlee8732]

I think that scares me more than anything. Cause that would mean, we will HAVE to be here in the future, experiencing everything that happens, until the end of humankind. And then one? We transfer into AI robots scaling the universe for other life forms? 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. All are just as beautiful at the same time..

A prolific author and speaker, Alan Watts was one of the first to interpret Eastern wisdom for a Western audience. Born outside London in 1915, he discovered the nearby Buddhist Lodge at a young age. After moving to the United States in 1938, Alan became an Episcopal priest for a time, and then relocated to Millbrook, New York, where he wrote his pivotal book

[@StrangeScaryNewEngland]

@@renegadezen7841 Yes. It was mainly created in the first place so the tone of a Human voice would be able to be picked up from old microphone technology, which would amplify a higher-pitched voice much better than a lower one. That's also why a lot of them sound like they're talking from the top of their throats. Microphones are so good now that we don't need to speak a certain way for our words to be heard.

@@Mihau0794 my dear friend, it was not just some random person who wrote The Scriptures, it was The Lord Himself and He says in His Word “I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me” -Isaiah 45:5, and He lovingly warns humanity of EXACTLY what will happen upon a person’s death “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” -Hebrews 9:27, please do not take my word for it, read for yourself what the Lord Himself says in Luke Ch16, about someone who is CURRENTLY in Hell. That person is still THERE right NOW! That is the awful consequence of dying without having your sins forgiven. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” -Hebrews 10:31, But the Lord IS kind and He has made a way so that you do not have to go to that awful awful place. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” -Romans 10:13

I have clinically died and had out of bod and told surgeon’s exactly what they were doing to me and I would float up through the ceiling and see all the pipes that were labeled oxygen, water, suction ect, but I think I was in limbo but it was the most calm ever like I had a car parked on my chest and someone removed it, then when I woke up in ICU with tubes hoses wires beeping noises ect, I was very mad to be pulled out of that peaceful bliss back to reality of the trauma and pain I was very angry and living in the hospital for a month going through multiple operations did not help.

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.

Very deep and very interesting concept... There is, to me, one absolute truth. Regardless how we think, feel and deal with death, we will all get a turn to find out exactly what is waiting on the other side. If there is another side. Or do we fade to nothingness.

[@2painful2watch]

I agree with Mr. Watts only on one thing, that we have no awareness of the time before we were born. However, then we were born and are now aware and sentient so when my body ultimately expires, my memories and thoughts and my SELF will continue because I now have the 'anima" or soul. It is a gift for us to keep for eternity. I do not accept eternal nothingness.

[@paulpatriot4peace412]

YOUR BODY MAY DIE, BUT NOT YOUR SOUL!!!

[@rodgerm5311]

Please show me proof of a soul, not just a biblical vision. No, you can not. Every creature will die eventually without a soul. Do wild animals have souls? Of course not or god would have told us so, right? Then why are we different from them? When you die, you die just like any other animal.
