When my granddad died he appeared to my mum a few days later and said bye.  He appeared to my gran and told her some stuff that was going to happen in the future and it came true.

I can only assume theres something after death because he gaves us information about the future which must of been to prove there is something after :shrug:

Theres other posabilities but I tend to take it at face value.

I do not personally want to believe in after life.  I do not find that comforting.  I find it quite scary and it opens up a load of questions about the nature of reality.



Its mad but it happens to loads of people, doctors have opened up a whole new area of research because its so common.  People come back from NDEs with information they couldn't make up....





Thank you very much.

I was going to go there, but you did most succinctly.

Im just in the mood to see what all your guy's opinions are on it. What do you guys think happens when you die. What do you think the point of life is? I dont think its really possible to predict whats gonna happen, but im still curious to hear all your opinions.
:scream:





My opinion is that no one has a clue what happens when they die. And it's also my opinion that what Ernest Becker coined "death anxiety" is what pushes us to seek and create an answer. We are unable to directly handle our capacity as self-aware creatures to understand we are going to die and so we use psychological defenses, creating all sorts of ideas about death to compensate. Whether that idea be the cessation of all happenings, reincarnation, or some heaven with 72 virgins in it, it's all guesswork driven by death anxiety to my ears.

thats a great outlook to have on life, but i don't really ascribe to the same view. me being only 23 at the moment, if i was to die, sure i'd look back with positivity, but i'd also look forward with disdain in knowing i'm never going to get married, have a family, have grandkids, own my own house, possibly bang jessica hawkins. Thats what my fear of death is about, about having my life cut short. If i grow to an old age and live out my days then sure i'll be happy to go, but at current i want to stick around in this life for as long as possible.




do you think if hypothetically you died tomorow you would accept it freely and be ready to pass on nunbuh? honestly?




I'm about to turn 25. I'm not going to say that I'm gonna be able to face death with open arms and a smile on my face. Sure, I'll be scared and uncertain, and I'll probably have a few regrets...

But concerning yourself with what COULD'VE HAPPENED is useless, whether it's in the future OR the past. Nowadays I try to concern myself with reality, what's ACTUALLY happening NOW.

If I died today, maybe I would miss a chance to win the lottery and get married and live happily ever after. Or I might have missed the experience of the collapse of the American Empire, catastrophic climate change, food riots and famine. Who knows :shrug:

The future is uncertain, regardless of whether I am living or dead. What is important is that I live a fulfilling life NOW. Because there will always be plenty of missed opportunities. But you can't let yourself be controlled by what didn't happen, you can only live by what DOES happen and how you react to it.

I agree with that. 

I had a death experience on mushrooms, i still practice surrendering to death sometimes.  It produces this amazing feeling to let go of the ego / desire to control and just accept death and immerse with the universe.
