If you could know

If you could be told exactly what happens after death, would you want to know? Or not?

Absolutely. Even though I feel like I already do know, it would be awesome to have the empirical evidence.

@seaglass Ok, so you would rather wait to know until empirical evidence was possible and made available in your current time and place?
seaglass · F
@Ananke Yes. Otherwise, I'll stick to my educated opinion.

@seaglass I agree with you
GuyWithOpinions · 31-35, M
Yes for sure.

I think the Tibetan Book of the Dead knows what happens. I prefer the Robert Thurman translation.
hunkalove · 70-79, M
@Ananke i don't think it is favorable or unfavorable. Like most things in Buddhism, it just is.
Ananke · 26-30, F
@hunkalove Then if you were able to choose this type of death/afterlife or not, would you choose it?
hunkalove · 70-79, M
@Ananke I don't think there is any choice involved.

Yes. I want to know.

Piqued my curiosity

Nope , but I may change my mind
I already know. It's like before you were born.
@Infamous607 What do you think happens after you die?
Infamous607 · 46-50, M
@MsSwan I don't know. I wish I knew. I know what others think.
You saying, it's like before we were born got my attention.
What fo you mean?
@Infamous607 You won't feel or be aware of anything like before you were born.
I would want to know
Who says I am not...?

🤔Knowing the exact details of the afterlife might create new fears or anxieties, right ?
AllycatAD · 26-30
I heard there was a sci fi thriller that used that as a theme
brainstorm
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
even if it's a horrible revelation, you're still going to go there, so might as well know in the case where there's something you can do to improve it
Ananke · 26-30, F
@MartinTheFirst Would you want to know even if there were certain factors that were beyond your control that might impact your experience after death?
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Ananke maybe there are factors i can control, so yes
Infamous607 · 46-50, M
Hell yeah!
