Afterlife

[Pete in Panama]

Same places I go during "life."

Into the Land, Sea, and Sky.

Off hand that sounds like you're talking about what we can observe in this space time. You have no observation of our movement out of this space/time so you can't say what happens there.

 

[Pete in Panama]

I agree that’s where everybody will go, except one.

Is that statement part of a greater belief system? Like, can you explain what you mean there?

I believe there’s one individual on earth whose life makes existence possible. When they die, all of existence ends. Then they are immediately reborn to live the same exact life along with all of existence, but that’s for another thread.

Back to the 'natural' environment.

If you have ever been under a general anaesthetic you will see what death is like, the deepest of sleeps possible, without any brain function at all, you won't even know you're dead.

It would be nice for there to be a 'heaven' of some kind but it seems there won't be.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Do you have any sense at all where you’re going after death or is it just a hunch?

Educated guess it's going to be in the same manner and way this life came about.

Question is who, where, and when.

I hear that.

 

[Tinkerpeach]

I think a lot of people know what it will be like.

Cool

I have and I do, but that's neither here nor there; I don't really talk about those aspects of my traditions. Even when viewed from that lens, there is still no "after" life - instead of eternal change there's ... mmm ... there is no putting it into words, honestly. Part of why I very rarely bother to talk about it. Is-ing? Is-ign is a good way to put it, maybe. Concepts like beginnings and endings don't even apply in no/between-times/spaces. Or the otherworlds more broadly, just in general. Which is so fundamentally at odds with the day-to-day experience of humans it... it's just not worth trying to talk about except with other boundrywalkers (sometimes).

The fear of death and the subsequent loss of friends and relatives makes people...dream of a lot of things.

A few years ago I had that general anesthetic experience and for me that shows how I can leave this space time and return and take it back up. What we can see is that eventually we all leave this space time --also that eventually space/time itself will be used up. At the same time, if we assume that we have free will w/ the ability to decide things, then we find that we can step out of our space/time to pick one of many possible universes to live in.

It's the fact that our core existence can exist outside our shared space/time that makes me allow for some kind of existence outside/beyond. An "afterlife" as it were. It's nature is extremely difficult for me to comprehend as it would be w/o space and time --that means there's no place for anyone and no cause and effect. That's how our quantum world exists, yet it still interacts.

So much that IS and we can't understand. I can live w/ that, how about you?

My "hunch" is that that there is no afterlife.

 

[Jimmy]

Or know a lot of things.

Good hunch. I agree. Although, I know.

Hopefully to a medical establishment where my body might be of some use but this cannot be guaranteed. As to anything else, not too bothered, and very few expectations as to anything either - given that I have no such religious beliefs as to an afterlife, reincarnation, or anything similar.

My more confident hunch is that you only believe you know.

Thanks for sharing.

Nope.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Nope.

In my experience, those who feel the need to repeatedly profess to others that they "know" rarely do.

Know? How?
