What is after Death?

WeCanAllPullTogether · 08-07-2022 10:06am #1

I have been thinking of Zen concepts like God, and wondered

"Is God just a layered hierarchy leading to the very elite in Society at the top ?"

It's curious how all the God terms have a one-to-one mapping to the most respected members of Society, "Lord", "King", and how in olden days, Subjects must kneel before the King or Caeser, to show respect to a particular human bloodline.

Historically, the Church and High Society are one and the same, and Church Doctrine is dictated by High Society through the Church, acting as a Proxy.

Nobody knows. anybody that says they do is a liar.

Bobblehats · 08-07-2022 10:16am

Life? ..what is this. Hey stop that 😩

pjdarcy · 08-07-2022 10:19am

Just focus on what you do in this life; the next one will take care of itself

WeCanAllPullTogether · 08-07-2022 10:26am

The mystery of things that cannot be accessed by mere mortals like me, makes me think I need to climb the top of the pyramid, and look downwards.

Maybe God's are merely Ghosts of wealthy bloodlines?

When you die, you go back to where you were before you were born. Which is nothing.

Pherekydes · 08-07-2022 10:37am

What is after death? It depends. If you're the one who died, nothing. If it's a loved one then it's tough for a while. If it's a stranger then shrug and get on with your life.

That doesn't sound true for me, there is a residual information gain left behind

Also the Universe has moved into a state of increased Dis-Order, during UR lifetime.

Does anyone the password, as in "Eyes Wide Shut" to access the All Seeing Eye?

Only a new reg would come up with such a predictable topic of discussion. The idiots on the Niall Boylan show were talking about this last night.

Thanks Bridge IT. Is the show online and are only Irish citizens with the correct IP allowed to listen?

Death is death. Nothing you just stop existing,,, no afterlife nothing.

How will you climb the pyramid if it's not accessible to you? What pyramid?

I dunno what's after death.

A friend died after a long illness and he did a lot of reading about the subject. He felt that there is a type of life after death, but you wouldn't be checking in on loved ones again or anything like that.

I'd be very interested to know are there some books worth reading on the case for life after death. I suspect there is something, but really don't know.

Here's a book that might interest you.

Eternity. But where you spend it depends on decisions you make in this life.

Thanks, unfortunately it seems the author is kind of discredited. I think you have to be wary around this kind of topic, everyone wants to believe.

Leg End Reject · 08-07-2022 11:35am

At times I struggle with the reality of my own mortality, but the concept of eternity is terrifying. I hope death is oblivion and that all awareness is gone as soon as my neurones stop firing.

Sounds like an absolute waste of time, you cant come back from death so it will remain the great unknown.

All I know is this life and I just live that

bad2thebone · 08-07-2022 11:40am

It's an interesting conversation for sure. I just rather keep it in the present, and have a stoic attitude towards life. Prone to fantasy now and again but like to keep it in the moment.

Although I would like the idea of reincarnation where you can go back in time as an option, especially because I love life and a thrill seeker. I love danger,passion and looking back I'd have loved to be a gladiator or a warrior fighting with a sword. Protecting the local village and had high ranking status in a tribe. I'd love to have had a big family and lived in simple hardened time's. Hardships I embrace especially when I have to go into survival mode.

After death I'd love to come back as a wild cat such as a mountain lion or wolf something in a climate like north America where there's seasonal weather. Warm summer's and cold snowy winter's.

I want to go on in a different place but if I die and my consciousness goes nowhere, that's still somewhere.

Peace and quiet hopefully!

I came in to this thread to say exactly that.

Same thing that happens to every living thing. Every microbe, every ant ... no reason humans would end up somewhere else

Ray Palmer · 08-07-2022 11:45am

Simple, nobody knows and anybody claiming they do are lying

You see that's what makes us, different. I don't fear death. Eternity is but a continuation of the life I have. That life is eternal.

Wanderer78 · 08-07-2022 11:54am

im expecting to be given all those things ive been putting in safe places all my life, in which ive never found again!

Boardnashea · 08-07-2022 11:55am

A funeral, of one sort or other, a burial or a fire or whatever, a few sandwiches or a plate of food and a few drinks, and hopefully nice memories for those you have left behind and those you met when you were around.
