Are you afraid of death, or being dead?
Death sounds like it will hurt more, being dead is more boring. You're dead a long, long time.

@ColonelFlytrap Then I'd have to write a book that would be good enough to last a very long time. It would have to be as good as Homer's Iliad.

@Serenitree Unless my niece and godson speak of me, I will be forgotten. Just as well.

It doesn’t hurt more if you go to heaven, but we weren’t made to kill ourselves.

@ColonelFlytrap what if when we die we split off and live a slightly different life? what if in those close calls we actually die in some universe and get dropped off somewhere else with no memory? im stoned lol

@ColonelFlytrap no i mean like a quick switch-a-roo, you just live more or less the same life but maybe i dont know the color red and the color green are reversed, or maybe in one where you are a rockstar! but maybe that costs alot of karma to get there, only to lose it all being a rock star, unless you would be somekind of nice rockstar, but theres still the opposite out there of that as well lol

of course not, il never know what its like to be dead, because death is the absence of the ability to experience anything.
you could be dead a million years but if you were to wake up it would be like going under before surgery, dreamless sleep.

@xSharp yes. I am more inclined to the reincarnation or even the alternate universe. Not at all thinking of heaven or hell. It's just that I believe energy doesn't die.
As for shamans, well, someone that one person calls a witch doctor is someone else's shaman. So I won't go there.
So what you call many world theory, is for some, another stage of life. The next consciousness; so, our death here, isn't the absence of anything....it's simply a life after this one. In other words, an afterlife.
The thing I'm saying is, you could be right. Death could be the absolute absence of anything, the end. Or, one of your alternate theories could be right, or someone else's theory could be right.
I'm just sure of one thing. Nobody knows for sure, and non believers will call the people remembering past or different lives, kooks, or worse. Because if we disbelieve something that is unprovable, we dismiss it, in favour of what we believe, even though it too, is unprovable.

@Serenitree yes that is true, energy cannot be created or destroyed only transferred from state to state.
as for dmt, its made in the brain and is released during certain stages of sleep and during death, also found in some plants, it shoots you off to another dimension according to those who tried smoking it. but its released naturally and can give you death like feelings during the dream like trip.
there is that guy with an iq of 200 who theorizes that every afterlife exists just because you believe it does, if he really is the smartest man then maybe hes onto something? :)

Dying sounds scary and maybe painful. I am pretty sure when we die we experience the same consciousness as a computer after you've fried the motherboard.
ColonelFlytrap · 70-79, M

Anyone who says no, are either lying or foolish, with the utmost respect!
xSharp · 31-35, M
@SW-User prove it? respectfully.
SW-User
@xSharp lol.
xSharp · 31-35, M
@SW-User just saying, a lot of people want to die but refuse to kill themselves and so they put themselves through extreme danger regularly hoping that today will be the day.. is that fear foolishness? or somthing else

@bijouxbroussard we all hope so, don't we? To both points.

@ColonelFlytrap I would guess so. But I can only speak for myself.
