Looking forward to death

This is probably gonna sound insane but then I've always been crazy so I'm cool with that.
Life is a manic depressives journey. Its great one minute and horrible the next. Its cool though I'm up for enjoying the ride.
The thing is I'm quite looking forward to death. As in its the ultimate adventure. I hope its blissful or peaceful or nothingness or traveling astral dimensions as a ghost.
I sometimes think maybe it will be horrible but I'm gonna stay positive in my morbid fantasy.
I don't really hold any beliefs but I think the odds are most likely that we do have a soul or at least there is something else. Maybe the brain is simply the reciever of consciousness not the creator 
I don't have those answers nor do I care much to discuss them because the majority of people just revel in ego and state "you just get eaten by worms". Thats such a boring perspective and probably untrue.
My grandad came back as a spirit - visited my mother and his my grandmother and told them of some future events that came true. So I think its likely there is something after. Its gonna be the greatest adventure we have. lol.
I'm not looking forward to the pain of being old though. I think I'd rather use enough morphine to put me out of my misery when its time to go.

Haven't you ever wondered if maybe after you died, all you see is darkness and nothing more? O_o that's scary..

If you are seeing then I'd expect you can still create because there is someone (thing) viewing.
Hmmm, that would suck and be well boring.

I think it's just nothingness..which, since it can't be experienced, would be kinda awesome. You wouldn't even know you were gone 
If there is an after life I really hope that the Christians are wrong cause I don't wanna go to hell

If it is absolute nothing then thats good because its ultimate bliss because you are nothing anymore. No pain or pleasure and you know no different. Its probably my preference of choice but I'm not sure... depends if theres something better on offer... like joining God.
Christians have to be wrong IMO. So many religions and cults that I cannot pick one and say yes that is absolute truth. All writtten by man FFS 
Tibetan book of the dead was probably the closest IMO. They believe you have to learn to free your mind now so you don't become trapped as a ghost when dead.
You ever heard how priest exorcise ghosts? They have to tell them that they are dead cuz ghosts most don't realise or want to believe. Which is why they just hang around their houses pissed off banging draws and stuff. You have to make them realise they are free to travel in the astral realm.
Theres this whole white light phenomena as well thats been a reoccuring theme in people who have near death experiences... I actually experienced it myself in an ego death experience on mushrooms. Was one of the most profound moments of my life.
I realise I sound like a lunatic but this kind of way out stuff is interesting to me.

I died but was resuscitated. It's peaceful in retrospect, but you don't realize that you're dead. You know nothing, you are nothing. It's like the universe never existed. Then I came back and puked my brains out.

No it wont be boring, there will be no consciousness to view it as boring.
I don't see how the "eaten by worms" view of death is egoistic. People who hold that view know that their ego will be destroyed forever.

I don't claim to know what happens when you die. However I don't believe that there is nothing. The main reason for this is that something HAD to exist in the beginning.
I don't think Christianity or any religion is right for that matter. But I bet they all have truths.
I guess I won't know till I die :P

Because we don't know ;-) The ego is there to make you think you do know. Its what clings us to this reality. IMO Its like a comforter or security box for the mind.

We don't know, right, but I go on the evidence, if that's egoistic then forgive me. There's no real evidence for life after death other than subjective and personal experiences.
I've never had one of these experiences and so personally, I don't believe in life after death.

Sounds good Nice, I cant wait to be dead
Thinking of infinite nonexistence is mindblowing, like those states of non-rem sleep where you dont exist and you just wake up afterwards; except forever. There is no waking up
Maybe perpetual nonexistence is a paradox such that it cant not exist forever, therefore that dieing moment of awesome is eternal. Its like dividing by zero, or the other way around; even eternal division will never reach zero so those last moments will just slow down to such an extent that it will keep accelerating the time dilation eternally; yet that moment will be guaranteed to be one of ultimate bliss as the mind will be in a death experience and the mind will be functioning on an ineffable level
What if you dream forever, perhaps your dream self is the real you . Eventually you will reach a state of enlightenment and lucid dream from then on. I would love something like that
Its possible we will join with that ultimate consciousness, I think of consciousness as all parts of the same whole. Like a hard drive partitioned into many different sections all completely separate from one another yet part of the same whole; perhaps we too are all part of this one mind. There are so many dichotomies in life: black and white, good and evil, yin and yang, night and day; death could be the ultimate unification of all things
Hell is such a horrible idea, I wouldn't wish such a fate on the evilest being alive. We are all victims of this subjective existence, so if a god exists and tortures us that bastard would have the people on his conscience
What if, in that nothingness of nonexistence, only the mind exists. The mind would no longer be tied down by the bounds of this world and body, therefore it could think freely creating its own world
Whatever it is, it will be the answer; the ultimate truth

I was rinsing out my needle after a good fat shot of some new dope that I recklessly didn't test. Last thing I remember is putting the cap back on the needle and then waking up at the hospital and puking all over. I didn't even feel it hit me. After that I saw suicide as incredibly selfish. The dead live in void. Void of pain and suffering while the living struggle to survive to be with each other.

If you go on the evidence then you have to accept that theres no conclusive proof either way. Meaning you remain open to either possibility.
As it happens several prominent doctors have opened scienctific studies on the NDE experience because theres so much data coming out of hospitals pointing that death is not the end. 
You are mistaken if you think its scientific to believe theres no life after death. Science does not know and there is data pointing both ways thus it remains open. Anything is possible.

the only problem I have with near death experiences are that, they are NEAR death. While this person may have technically been "dead", I am unconvinced that their brains ceased to function.
I think during the process of death, the brain goes through incredible and dramatic changes, probably secreting all sorts of chemicals which most likely play into these NDE's. I, of course, have absolutely no idea, but I don't think that NDE's count as proof of life after death.

Nice post. I have to agree with philosophising Interesting stuff.

I've been wondering about this a lot as well. We are all the same soul and the brain is the receiver and seperator. Although my knowledge and experiences of ghosts suggests different. I remain open. It could even be both. Another paradox like you stated.

I'd like that to be true. I'm not sure it will though. I hope so.

Yes but the studies have been done on people that are clinically dead. No brain function. Gone. Sometimes for a long time!!!
Type NDE documentary into youtube if you are interested ;-) Its unbiased.
the scientific POV is that they cannot establish at what time the people are having the experiences themselves, however, people have reported data on things that have happened while they were brain dead that seems impossible they would randomly make up. Visiting the relatives in spirit form and then reporting exactly where, they were, what they did and said etc etc Thats one hell of an amazing coincidence in some cases. Which is why the research labs have been set up - not just here in the UK but world wide. Its been being noticed by top medical professionals world over.
