heaven hell or nothing?
I feel the human brain is too puny to fully comprehend the absence of life. I'm fairly certain that in an immeasurable instant before your brain shuts down completely, upoun death, it realizes "oh fuck", begins to panic and as a result of this reverts back to the very first memory you've recorded. Then it just begins playing forward. I think this is life, this post, this day, is all just a memory repeat, one that has been repeated 100 times, because whenever my brain gets to the last memory it has the same crisis and returns to the first. Maybe that explains deja vu, like your brain is just playing a memory a little bit early, like a scratch in a cd. I always kind of found this to be optimistic too, because ultimately you have full control of your dream, maybe in your "real" life you were some bum, but in this dream you can be whatever you want. I always wondered too about being released. I have this thought, and its the closest thing i have to religion, but i wonder if my brain were to fully comprehend and understand this belief, maybe i will be released from this cycle. One day while meditating in the shower, just poof and disappear like the rapture.
But yea who knows, i remember once i had a friend who told me, "maybe we are all right, and we get what we want when we die, which means theres a kid somewhere playing around in a planet sized discovery zone ball pit"
what say you?

It is a cute story, but I feel even as a story it has flaws. If it is only memory of events and thoughts that have already occurred (repeated 100 times) where does the control aspect come in, when you realise it and go, poof?!
If so, are you able to reply to this post, or are you a poofter? (Sorry, I HAD to) Maybe you have returned to the start of the memory replay?

Get what we want when we die? How does that kid know what we want, and why would he feel compelled to give it to us?

the brain is all powerful, and is the end all and be all in our lives. for me to think something, and for my brain to know it are two different things. im 6 foot 2 inches tall, my brain knows this, and when i encounter a small doorway i instinctively duck down. i think i am god in bed, my brain also thinks this but has been proven wrong time and again, thusly my confidence sucks.
if your brain truly knows something to be fact it just is, thats how people with seemingly no physical ailments can produce stigmata like wounds on their bodies, because they know they have been touched by god
so part of my point being that have as much control now as you do in a dream, which can be an awful lot if you know how to dream
and i haven't pooft'd yet, still working out my poofting skills, but i have plenty of time to practice the poof. as much as id like to know it, i only beleive what i beleive,
