Death

>>18357460
It is your choice whether or not you want to be a slave. If you are a serious person and do not want to be a slave, you would dedicate your life to finding out the meaning of your life and if there is life after death for you. Otherwise, just watch porn and get fat like the other sheep.

>>18357460
I can say like I'm pretty happy with my life BUT I can die any moment, I just don't give a shit about it, I can even die in next minute, just accepting my destination. My question is what is after death, if nothing so imo life is basically meaningless. If you're so scared to die mayby froze yourself for like next 500 years when there will be technology to unfreze you and medicine which will let you live forever.

A week ago I was in the same positon as you are now.
I don't know if I am "obsessed" if it is against my will. Still, I'm not ashamed of it, recognising a problem is the first step to solve it.

>>18357589
They talk about cryogenics in the video I posted, but I didn't think it was a viable option before watching it.
As I said, I'm not afraid of dying, I just keep remembering about non-existence, and it makes me uneasy.

It's called cryonics.
And it's the only rational goal for an atheist. Science is bound to catch up.
They say immortality will be available in 15 years or so. I suggest you start reading up on the subject

im inmortal until someone proven the otherwise

>>18357460
Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Your awareness/consciousness will still exist after death. The physical world is only a tiny and temporary part of reality.

>>18357460
Non existence has never been proven
Existence has been proven
So unless you can prove it, there is no non existence

>>18357721
Unicorns that shoot lasers out of their eyes to get rid of cancer don't exist.
I just proved it

>>18357678
Sorry about that. English is not my first language.
I'll read about it, but it still sounds like the ultimate form of negation to me.
I'm only 23, if they find the way to be immortal in 15 years I will probably be Alive by then.

>>18357721
I never thought about it that way. I still think there will be nothing after death, but it cheared me up a lot. Thanks.

>>18357460
Death is a strange concept. Is it the beginning? Is it the end? Is it where we finally receive judgement on wether we fly on clouds or sunbathe in hell. Regardless OP enjoy yourself while your here. Life isn't guaranteed.
You can die at any moment.

>>18357686
I used to have a philosophy like that. "I didn't see anything before I was born and will not see anything after I die. From my point of view, I am eternal, because nothing exists if I'm not here to percibe it"

I already think like you, but i don't feel the same. Whenever I remember about death It's like when a relative dies. I suddenly realise it's no book, movie or show, it's real life, and it will end. That scares me a lot.

>>18357460
mushroom trips, have a tendency to make you understand and accept death.

but other than that, you should be freaked out.
you're alive, you have what you want now, dont spend it on stressing about you loosing it.

its like having a fast car, but never driving it, becouse you're scared of crashing.

try meditating, seriously.

>>18357829
i mean you shouldn't

I know, you did not want a religious things in this, but I want to tell you, that the whole universe only exist because you are observing it. When you focus on to something else as your full potential, this world become meaningless and you will make a shift in to a new world that you have created. It is as real as this one.

this is how reality works. Reality is just a dream. I am suggesting to enjoy it as real, but when you 'die', you will start to see other worlds amd they will become your new reality. Just like when you fall a sleep, you start to see other lives, what you think as dreams.

So please do not be afraid of death, that doesn't really exist. You can not de-exist, you will continue living after that.

>>18357829
>mushroom trips have a tendency to make you accept death.

So does salvia divinorum. In what way does mushrooms make you feel that you are dead?

With salvia, it's the dissolution of the ego to the point where you are part of your surroundings and yet another being as well that takes up the space of everything you see.

What is it like with mushrooms??

>>18357848
i like the buddhist way of looking at it, in that in conciousness we are all one.

which would amount too that it doest stop at bodily death.

its also a general feeling people seem to get when they do psychedelics, "we are all one" is like its carved in our deep subconscious.

I get what most of you talk about, but should I just try not to think about death whenever I remember it? Isn't that negation, the kind of thing that makes you happy for a while but eats you from the inside? I can tell my self "fuck it, just make the most of your life", but it doesn't change the way I actally feel about it.

Before you think I'm just a whiny bitch, I want to thank you all for the answers so far. It is helping me to talk about it.

>>18357863
i wish i could tell you, i havent found any magic mushrooms yet.

but i listen to psychedelic philosophers/talkers or whatever. also fits suprisingly well with buddhism, and the mindset you get from mediation.

i think it would do good to me, it seems right down my alley, and how my head works.

>>18357460
much more disturbing:

Buddism is not that far away of my beliefs either. Other religions has the real idea, but they might not tell it in a best way. We are all one, because we are just living a collective dream. We are creating this world together, even it does not always looks like it :)

I feel the same, a few weeks ago I realized all this and my body didn't accept the idea of dying. I cried for 2 days till I went to the doc. I really wish there's something else and even hell would be fine. If only I could have the experience of my soul of of my body like doctor strange I would not be afraid anymore

Put your faith in digitization of consciousness. Many scientists claim it will be available in our lifetimes.

>>18357460

There is no "you" - your personality isn't unique. Personality represents favour of one subjective preference over another. That's it. To believe it is anything more than that is delusional.

Unlike personality however, conscience represents the preference of true over false, and good over bad. Learn to distinguish between your conscience, which is objective and veritas, and your personality, which is a subjective illusion.

We all share one conscience - it is eternal and will exist so long as humanity does. It is the spark of the divine in man. Your personality will die with your body, but the conscience you share in, the only real thing about 'you', is immortal and cannot die.

Moreover, death is, as you say, inevitable. Being frightened of death is no different than being frightened of the wind or the rain. Is feeling anxious and frightened ever helpful? No.

Vive in memor mortis; fugit hora.

If you really want peace of mind, study the moral discourses of Epictetus.

If you can't accept it now, you never did. You laughed it off as all young people do.

My advice? Do something with your life. I know I have maybe 50 years left which doesn't feel long. My coping method is working hard and watching my daughter grow up. You sit and think too much. Get a job that fulfills you and build a life you're proud of. I never think about death because I'm busy living. You said you were too but this thread is proof that you never found peace in it.

>>18357460
Death is not inevitable. It's just a disease, an inability of the of the repair system to repair itself without corruption. All we need is a physical copy that's possible to be read by a basic protein.

ask yourself what you were before being born.

also, everyone is afraid to die, even someone about to do suicide. it's just they have something stronger than that fear that pushes them over the edge.

everyone is afraid because no one knows how it will feel to loose yourself.

When I was dealing with my friend dying in a car crash, I realized that he'd lived on through our memories. Because he was such a kind person, and because he'd left such a mark on us, his non existence wasn't a non existence after all; we think about him every day and still love him.

My point is, make enough of a mark on the world, good or bad, and your memory will live forever.

>>18357460

same anon, I don't know if you guys heard about some scientific research that says that we live in a simulation, like the sims, and because of that we can't escape of the matrix from we came from. I've been thinking about it and if there's no god and we die. Then our consciousness is going to be deleted to the next one that is coming. Still bugs me because even like that we can't find the true anyway. I wish I was dumber, my head thinks so much and never stops

That guy is a faggot

I understand what he's saying but he's a smug asshole

OP is scared to die.
I can't wait for my time to come.

Life on Earth blows, I'm never coming back to this reality again. Lonely, surrounded by judgmental people in a world running backwards full of ignorant arrogant humanity groping around unable to even help itself.

Why wouldn't you want to die? There's only one way out of this hell and it sure as fuck ain't on an alien spacecraft.

Time to read Staring Into the Sun by Irvin Yalom.

Also, the part of you that fears death is your sense of self derived from thoughts (the egoic "me"). The more you can practice doing activities without constantly thinking and analysing, the less your ego will torture you with anxiety about its own death. (incidentally, this is also the part of us that fears intimacy, because in a true act of love the egoic sense of self dissolves as well).

>>18366067
I've heard from some spiritually inclined folks that Earth is called the "Earth School" in the non-physical realms, and that the waiting list to get to experience a life on this insane asylum is several hundred years.

This is the place that you come to when you want to be forced to experience something, when you want to learn about true love, and how to push through the pain and discover how to be "more" (e.g. sacrifice, devotion, all the good stuff).

If you try to learn any of that in a non-physical realm, you'll just quit when it becomes hard, because you can stop it at any time (non-physical reality is determined by your imagination, will & state of consciousness)... if things got to hard, you'd just press the ejector seat button and end/reset program as if you were on a star trek holodeck.

"Graduating" from the Earth School, living a lifetime or two, putting yourself through the grinder so that you're better able to love, is considered a coveted badge of honour on a being's journey.

May as well try to make the most of it while you're here, your being knew what it was signing up for before it got here.

>>18358390
Your idea of one conscience is how you project your insecurities on other people, and how you deal with your failures. Don't push that on OP.

Your existential angst is showing

>>18366454
This is your answer. The human body was not designed to last forever, and neither was the mind. If you were to live forever you would eventually go insane because your brain would have to harbor too many memories. for some people the human lifespan is too long, even. The people who are saying "we reincarnate as fukken trees bro!!11 love the earth" are weak in the mind. They have never gone through any sort of traumatic event to catalyze a worst-case scenario or ever given any thought as a consequence of immortality. They do not understand what the real concept of immortality is, even only a temporary "physical" immortality as opposed to the daunting "invincible mental state" one.

But if you are smart enough (which you aren't; no one can be that smart and that sheltered at the same time) go ahead and make yourself physically immortal. you will eventually kill yourself after realizing the truth of what I have said.

I hope that the irony of what you wrote isn't lost on you.

You assume that anyone with a differing opinion to you is weak in mind, or hasn't gone through hardship, you put yourself in a position of superiority, yet its clear that you don't or can't understand the concepts that others are putting forth (e.g. the idea of one consciousness is not the same as an individual being immortal)... in short, you sound like an angsty teenager who's recently discovered nihilism and has wrapped up his identity in it.

Someone who is truly strong of mind, and secure in their beliefs, is able to make the effort to properly understand and respect the beliefs of others instead of immediately disregarding and shitting on them.

>>18366771
Although i am obviously not above it, I want to point out to you that you have contributed nothing to the argument except an ad hominem sprinkled with relevant subjects. hive mind is essentially a way to appropriate yourself as part of a larger collective, which gives you a feeling of self-acceptance without anyone actually accepting what you say or do. It is also a way for you to diminish the feelings of guilt over making a wrong choice or inadequacy when failing to accomplish a goal or task.

What does it matter? When you die you won't even perceive it happening, because your perception will be over. Why fear something which will literally be nothing. The very exact meaning of nothing, the only nothing which exists.

You should never fear death. You should merely fear dying without a purpose.

Why would you be at peace thinking there's nothing after death when that's literally what the video states? How can you be at peace with something then not be at peace with it after you hear it from someone else?

That doesn't make any sense either. Where does the suffering come into death? Life is where people suffer, death is the end of suffering and everything else in life.

>>18367161
he fears death because he is afraid of the idea of a different dynamic in his life, as opposed to the one he has been training his entire life for.

OP does not understand life like you and I. He has never truly felt a traumatizing emotion, or even menial depression. he sees life as where he is right now, and he is quite comfortable staying there.

Think of it like this: around every seven years, every particle in your body is replaced. With this in mind, imagine if you were instantly obliterated and then recreated with different particles. Every aspect of the new version of you is the same, every synapses, every particle, all in the right place as before, just different (yet identical) materials used to recreate you. The new version would live on and have the same exact memories, but the old you did in fact die. This in essence already happens (as mentioned every seven years...), but the difference is that if you were obliterated and then recreated, then your stream of consciousness would end, and this would be real death. However, an end to the stream of consciousness, while technically the death of your old self, is not really that bad as you know you will live on. And if you do think that the end of the stream of consciousness is death, then in essence, you die every time you fall asleep. Basically, the real worry is not living on in some way, but in a universe so incredibly massive to us which then inhabits a multiverse infinitely more massive, there mathematically has to be other versions of you out there. So no matter what, there will still be some exactly similar version of you out there, even if they are made out of different (yet identical) particles. Even if you were to die, it would just be an end to your stream of consciousness, something that already happens (almost) every night. Even though the specific assortment of your specific particles are gone, it is no different to what already happens every seven years. If you think about it, we never really live or die because our perception of these concepts are defined by our subjective consciousness. We really don't fully understand our sentience, but we do know that we can have fun, make friends, and enjoy ourselves in the moment. Don't worry, we're lucky to be here.

>>18367231

Most areas of the brain don't regenerate cells, so this is untrue.

The cells in your brain don't regenerate, but that doesn't mean that they're static and don't circulate matter.

>>18367280

They circulate matter, but just things for energy and waste disposal. The particles which make up their DNA and a bunch of other stuff in them stay the same till the day you die.

The atoms that you start with are not necessarily the ones you end up with. DNA specifically is just a part of the cells, and these all either replace or recirculate themselves constantly. While it is very possible to end end up with some of the same atoms you started with, every one is still subject to future replacement.

Dont be a pussy, deal with it.

There is the possibility that your view of reality is entirely wrong and every thing you know including death are fake.

>>18367382

ok. thanks.

>>18357460
>I'm not asking for religious advice, I'm asking for psicological advice.
Ok then. The way you cope with it is already is actually quite healthy. Unlike most people you think about death now, early in life, and that's a good thing. You don't treat it as taboo like society does, and only start to think about it when someone close to you dies or when you're close to dieing. So keep it up. Think about it a lot, read about it, talk about it, like you do now, and you'll come to accept it sooner or later.
It's hard in the beginning and can trigger anxiety or even panic attacks, but with time you will grow to be desensitized towards it.

Reading and talking a lot about it will also get you a lot of different interesting views on the topic, many religious and occult answers, but of course you can never be sure who's telling the truth. I sure hope there's something after death with all my heart, but I see the possibility of there being nothing too- (personal religious experience make me believe there's much after death to experienced, but I can't know or proof that to myself)

Also if you have problems with ruminating too much, if you want your thought train to stop for a moment, try mindfulness. Focus your awareness on your breath instead on your thoughts, and come back to the present moment for half an hour or so, stopping all anxiety that might come with too much ruminating about death.

Tl;Dr: You're doing a fine job thinking about death, some anxiety is expected, it will get better with time, but if it gets too much in the short time, try mindfulness meditation.

I'm gonna make a serious, long post here that completely comforts me when it comes to the idea of death.

Put it this way, consciousness is believed to be bound to your 3rd dimensional brain right? which you use your 3rd dimensional eyes, ears, mouth, nose, body to perceive the 3rd dimension? Well, by that logic your consciousness is technically in a 3rd dimensional vehicle correct?

ok so let that sink in, if all your consciousness can perceive is THE THIRD DIMENSION because that is the vehicle that it is currently in, what happens when that vehicle dies? you could say "consciousness is from the brain" but there is something else that argues that...

Dimethyltryptamine, Is an extremely psychoactive substance that is stored in the center of your brain, and can be synthesized through ALL LIVING THINGS!

ok stick with me here.
Dimethyltryptamine is released 2 major times in your life, when you are BORN and when you DIE (also when you dream, but in very small doses).

So, what are Dimethyltryptamine's (DMT) effects on the consciousness? many patients have volunteered to take it under medical, psychological, and scientific watch. Those patients reported "loss of ones self" "infinite feelings of love" "The feeling of not seeing but BEING in another, more intricate but beautiful dimension" etc.

So this chemical that supposedly brings you to another fucking dimension is in all living things, and is released in huge amounts when you are born, and when you die.

Its almost like nature has made a way for our consciousness to enter the 3rd dimension through a third dimensional body, am i right?
and then we just leave when were done.

put it this way, I dont know if any of this is what im actually implying, but like, holy shit what is natures reason for this?

Deer is foraging in the woods. Deer sees glowing eyes, and doesn't know what that means. Deer is promptly ambushed by mountain lion, and dies in a panic, its last memory being glowing eyes. All remaining DMT is released. Every deer experiencing REM at that moment have a dream about glowing eyes means death. They wake up, and that dream becomes a buried memory.

Some of those Deer that had that dream are foraging in the woods. Deer sees glowing eyes, and thinks "DEATH! CLAWS! PANIC!" It doesn't know why it thinks this. Adrenaline is released. The Deer bolts and lives to produce offspring who are receptive to that specific resonate frequency of those kinds of dreams that caused the Deer to survive long enough to reproduce in the first place.

First of all, I believe in the Afterlife. And I have rock-solid reasons to believe Heaven is real, and I believe that's where I'll be once I'm gone, because Jesus Christ paid for my sins on the Cross so I could get in, no matter how good or bad I am according to the law. That's called Grace, and it's available to us all, for free.

But, even if your theory were to be true, nothing doesn't feel good or bad. It's just nothing.

You know there are some Theologians who believe that oblivion (nothingness after death) only belongs to the unsaved, because everything sinful and evil burns away in the presence of God.

Therefore Hell is a fantasy and the "nothingness in death" spiritual meme is real, but only for those who will not accept the free gift of eternal life by merely believing in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and developing a private personal dialogue with Him.

All the more reason to be emotionally and affectionately open to, and dedicated to spending time with, the person in life who you Love the most.

Theres too many variables to suggest there is more than that. Lets see religion talks about afterlife or reincarnations, spiritualism talks of oneness with all, then theres quantum immortality, lets not forget we are living in a simulated matrix, DMT as discussed in this thread, given the universe is infinite every atom in the universe will someday reorganize to exactly as it is/was when you were first born as well as in slightly different configurations, higher dimensions and all that jazz etc..

Then again if there really isn't anything, its actually a calming thought. We aren't terrified when we are asleep and we aren't aware of it when we wake and I would imagine nothingness after death being similar.

Personally I like to think we are in hell, due to our original sin, or maybe a fuckup in our past life. Death is when we clean our debts and enter our personal heaven in our own individual ways.

well, there's also the "Nothing came from something" argument". if it happened once why do we all believe it wont happen again and again and again? maybe nothing actually cant exist because nothing is only subjectively perceived by something. once your aren't that something, how do we know you're nothing?

I'm starting to sound like a crazy person

>>18357460
It's just like sleeping forever, OP. Doesn't that look comfy to you?

>>18357460
This video thought me nothing. I already thought about it and knew all about death before this. I simply just dont fear death. But I'm not an idiot to waste my life for no reason. Dying isn't good or bad in my opinion. Actually I find it pretty good desu when someone is dying they're more honest and more of a human more personal. You may wonder how I don't fear death anymore well to answer that. I simply just accepted it. I've been through an abnormal amount of near death experiences typically choking and nearly drowning. Whenever these happens I wonder if I'm going to die and I just accept it but luckily I just dont die. When I die I'd rather die slowly I couldn't careless if I was in pain I'd want to die slowly so I could spend more time here. But all death really does is inspire me to just suck it up and get over it. Maybe it's because I'm too optimistic whatever it is it works. Learn to live a little OP.

>>18357721
Pretty arrogant aren't you. Look in space. Most of space is just nothingness. So yes it has been proven just there.

>>18368481
In other words we've all been dead before we were born. Think of it like trying to remember something without remembering it. So try remembering being a fetus. You cant. The point of our species is to not be immortal unlike jellyfishes but to pass our genes down from generation to generation which allows our species to live. Hence in a way we are technically immortal in a genetic way.

>dad dies of cancer 2 years ago
>take comfort that afterlife or not he's at peace

My mom died of cancer when I was 12, but I've still accepted the fact that Im going to die and theres probably no afterlife. Its incredibly scary thought that your consciousness is going to cease forever. Whenever I really stop and think about it, it gives me the worst feeling in the pit of my stomach when the realization fully sinks in. Ive tried so hard to make myself comfortable with it but I dont think thats going to happen. I think its probably better to just not think about it once you realize the full truth. I can only take a little comfort in the fact that there might be nanobots which drastically increase life-span, but I believe the only true immortality would be if we could upload our consciousness into a computer. However, I'm not sure this is possible because I feel as if it would just be a program that acts just like you, but really isn't you. Maybe I just fail to understand that concept.

Pretty fucking weird I was just thinking about this, then I come on here and see this thread...

/x/ has been channeling most of my thoughts for like last two weeks, it is kinda unnerving, but also pleasant.

this year went by so fast for me
and there is very few years until we die
I may as well already be on my death bed I've been depressed about every waking moment of my life being tears in the rain.

>hive mind is essentially a way to appropriate yourself as part of a larger collective, which gives you a feeling of self-acceptance without anyone actually accepting what you say or do. It is also a way for you to diminish the feelings of guilt over making a wrong choice or inadequacy when failing to accomplish a goal or task.

this is some exceptionally shallow psychological analysis

>>18357460
It's a stage, it's normal to have to come to grips with your mortality.

sadly, most people never confront it, until they are 90~ years old and on their deathbeds and on life support and respirators, and even them some still wont accept it so someone has to just pull the plug, and even then some still wont give up and they come back as ghosts.

its normal, it's healthy and you will get through it.

>>18357460
figure out a way to "look forward" to it. its eternal rest. I freak myself out sometimes too, but dying is a natural part of life, just imagine how horrible and a nightmare life would be if you somehow lived forever...thats hard to think about but it would be pure torture at some point. I envy the people that led fufilling lives and died when they were very old. Also the ones that die heroically. Death gives a lot of meaning to life.
Maybe we should be more like Klingons, have a party when someone dies to celebrate how great their live was instead of using the gathering to mourn.

>>18357654
hey that sounds pretty neat desu

>>18357721
>So unless you can prove it, there is no non existence
Correct, you cannot prove a negative.

Quantum Immortality states that maybe none of die, we just become immortal in our own timeline.

>>18370772
And lets not forget, make your death honorable and worthy! Long live the Klingon empire!

read about nihilism bre

>>18357460

You might get murdered when a friendly guy invites you into his home to grab something and or show you something. A guy you just met, seems nice. Knowledgeable, understanding caring. About you. And then when you go to use his toilet he will yell

"OPEN THE DOOR"

"I'm taking a shit" you say

"THERE ARE NO LOCKED DOORS IN MY HOUSE"

Then you will really be shitting yourself.

You just might open the door and get stabbed. Idk.

>I'm starting to sound like a crazy person
No, you're sounding like a wise person who is catching on to retrocausality.

People want to know what caused the Universe to exist.

The Universe didn't have a cause, because spacetime was created in the expansion event from the naked singularity, an "cause" requires time.

Therefore the creation of time (and everything within it) didn't have, and in fact COULDN'T have, a cause.

>>18357460

So you don't believe in A.I and in singularity? Ok

Tell u wut don't care about your life. We don't want u in our PlayStation be social space in the year 2040. We gonna be partying in the beach with our honeys in vr but you're gonna be somewhere dead. Because you don't give enough fucks.

You can stop and be more life conscious today. Or just say fuck it like people did 50 years ago and kill your fucking liver with alcohol and die of the most excruciating pancreatic cancer. U choose your fate

>>18357460
Just exist while you can. After that instant where you cross from living to dead nothing in the observable universe will ever matter ever again.

This. Ive been tripping and expanding my beliefs with mushrooms with two years. Me and my friens both braced death together. Ive learned a lot about and im still leaning. But i can say i dont fear death, ive been dead

I watched that video and realized I'm already dead

>Therefore God didn't have, and in fact COULDN'T have, a cause.
