Do you believe in an afterlife? Why or why not? For the longest

>>19386152
When you die you float around the Earth in a dimension very closeto the physical plane but not quite, and there are different levels to the Death Zone, for different levels of souls, youg and foolish up to old and wise. After you float around aimlessly in a place where nothing seems to stick, you can choose a new life and a new body of your choice, because those souls who die on Earth mostly just get recycled.

This data was all logged and recorded by Dr. Robert Monroe, who is the leading mind on astral projection or "Out of Body Experiences." It was through practicing and perfecting his Out of Body technique that he was able to encounter and explore the "Death Zone." Just read "Far Journies" by him.

I read the Bruce Moen books and all about the Monroe Institute when I was a kid but, I'm sorry, it's nothing but a larp.

When you die, there is nothing about you that remains to perceive anything.

You're a larp

>When you die you are lost in a spinning madness as your brain slowly decays.
>All you can do is focus on the person you were and what you could have been if you had tried harder.
>You will remember all the things you wanted to do, but never were able to accomplish.
>Your mind will generate images of yourself and body being warped and broken and will feel immense pain and misery.
>Your only comfort will be your happy memories, if even that, because even those will be eventually lost.
>Soon all that will remain is the pain which will begin to feel like nothing to you.
>Finally, there will be nothing.

Unless you get cremated, in which case you're golden! Might as well have never existed at all!

Atheist. I believe in reincarnation. And you can break free from reincarnation (Moksha).

This is what I want, non-existence. Why anyone would want to exist for eternity is beyond me. Even paradise would get tedious and boring after a couple hundred years.

You just need to born again ...every life is different in some way, so yah ...no need to get bored.. Who would think that staying static in a pretty place = to paradise? that's my definition of hell..

I think nothing is what is next for us. However, eternity is a very long time. I feel like at some point during the billions and billions of years of nothingness, whatever caused consciousness to occur in your body now could do it again.

Either it doesn't and you experience nothing, or against all odds it does and you begin life again as whatever living being your matter has become this time. The odds would be incredibly small, but in an eternity there's a chance of that still occurring.

It would seem instantaneous and you won't even know it happened. It could have already occurred countless times without you realizing it. You just won't be the version of you that you know now in the slightest.

You got sleep, then you wake, but you have no memory of going to sleep.

Suppose there is a god and an afterlife, but suppose you do not go to them. You do not meet god nor do you wake up in some Elysian Fields. You simply went to sleep as your fathers have. How would you feel, supposing this was true?
Would you feel comfort? Would you think death a gift? A final rest for weary men?
You don't really cease to exist, since you probably don't even know what "you" is.

Now suppose there were no god, nor an afterlife. How would that make you feel? Would you feel any different? More reluctant to die?
In any case, both possibilities are mysterious and execiting.

seems more advantageous to plan for the possibility you will continue after death

really what this equates to is being fully responsible for all your actions for they might echo on for all eternity. and be aware that you might be crafting a mentality that will outlive your body.

what... are you saying that you are an atheist and you believe in reincarnation?
because that makes you not an atheist
