What I would like to happen after death is that you get to explore every facet of creation and every conceivable angle of experience for as long as you want, and everything just keeps getting naturally better and better until you merge with the infinite divine consciousness that is akin to billions of atom bombs of bliss going off in every square inch of the universe every second, forever.

I think death is the Great Mystery and, although we can get some familiarity with it, and even see into its nature directly at times, nobody who undergoes it fully understands what will happen. I also think there is a way in which we might falsely divide life from death, when on a deeper level there is perhaps no distinction whatsoever to be made...

If I had to bet everything, I'd bet on some Buddhist ideas being true about passing through different bardos according to the karmas (tendencies conditioned through action) the mind-stream has accumulated; and the momentum of that mind-stream eventually enters a new vessel, a new incarnation, forever and ever until all mind-stream become aware of Buddha nature and subside into it. After which...?


--------------------
โ€œStrengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that Iโ€™ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I willโ€”
and I will have the will, strengthened
as Iโ€™ll be with contemplation and studyโ€”
at the crucial moments Iโ€™ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.โ€

no its not like redgreenvines has any sort of personal bias or anything, wholely imagined.

who are you?
not really, really, but really, because really really would mean revealling the little asante's real name, and we do not want that.

in this case I am really wondering if it is the big asante or the little one,
because if it is the little asante who is like me, I would say

"hey, no hard feelings, but you started this whole thing about being infinite and all inclusive, and it is what you do - but there is room for that."

but

if it is the big eternal asante, I would say,

"why do you keep pushing little asante into these situations? and what bias are you accusing me of."

Try looking at it from the perspective that excludes all Asantes, Asante.

I like to believe that there is something after life. But it's impossible to verify.

When you consider dreams, out of body experiences, religious experiences, near death experiences, psychedelic experiences, memories, etc for me it seems clear that there is something else to this life.

So your focus point is ain.. the attainment of nothing..

Your focus is next to nothing..

Character development.

Charlemagnes cages.. risks advantageous.. pluty true puddy plateau..

Plutarchi.. plural of the Plutarch form.

Tense awareness is a degree of grip.. as if by a person making a fist..

Why isn't "How the fuck should I know?" an option? I don't even know what's gonna happen tomorrow... such is the inherent nature of future-tripping/discourse on death- analyzing things that don't even exist.

At least I won the poll with the "become one with everything" option. :wink:

But of course that would imply I was ever seperate from everything...

Life & Death, self & non-self... sheer nonsense.

Official answer...

"There's no such thing as Death. Life is only a dream."

cannot be improved upon, so virtue is profitless,
and it cannot be impaired, so vice is harmless;

absent of judgement, no preference for samsara or nirvana

The body is a like shell we shed for the next life, a metamorphosis. We are here for training for the next life. If we are not prepared we stay here for another life, based on the karma of the previous, you could be born an animal.

If you pass 'the test' you get to go to the 'next reality'. There, it is like here, where you have a personality, identity, ego, etc. Similar problems as before, but in a different dimension(axis). There is also evil there but things play out differently, the problems are different and need to be solved by 'people' who were adequately trained to solve it.

Again this 'next reality' is a test for the next next reality. If we pass it... and so on and so forth.

I don't buy into the whole, becoming everything or nothing, everlasting heaven ideas. There are always problems that need to be solved.

I believe we can in a sense be reincarnated as trees and plants, but not as mammals, reptiles, fish or birds.

When we pass we can in no uncertain terms fuse with a plant and become a part of it.

there is evidence that within this life, you are daily reborn into the same aging body, accumulating or losing merit as you proceed on your unique path.

when you are no longer aging, i.e. when you die permanently, insects, worms, bacteria, plants, and fungus recycle the bits.

there may also be evidence that there is no you in the first place, merely conditioned patterns in the aging body.

so, might as well upgrade morality to make less suffering in the world for all the aging plants and animals etc.

I can't help but notice when I read the text in your posts, in my peripheral vision I see your image as a unicorn, when clearly its just a human face... and I'm not even tripping. Try it yourself and see if its just me, please!

you mean Harpo Marx in my avatar with at mask on morphs into a unicorn - that would be his hairdo I think. I don't look that great, less hair.
I'm more like Groucho without the mustache painted on.
