what's it like to be dead?
>>16145355Jessica has a forehead scar from the deep end of a pool. I ask Jessica what drowning feels like and she says not everything feels like something else.
>>16145355it's not like something
>>16145355by definition, the state of death presumes you not being aware of anything. Therefore, death has no quality attached to it. It is defined by its absence. For that matter, you can never experience death.
You already know. Say you were born in 1990. Just ask yourself "What was it like in 1989?" The answer is the same to your question.
>>16145355>why is there nothing rather than somethingbut forever
>>16145355Fun and epic
The last things you experience will be incoherent sensations as your brain is shutting down.
>>16145355Your current form is a focal point of consciousness father than an originator of it. Once this form can no longer hold that consciousness it will shift to another form as its focal point. However memory is a unique function for the current form you're in so it won't be retained in another form. So really being dead isn't possible to experience. The moment you die your consciousness will immediately shift to another form that's alive. The sensation is no different than awakening from a dream.
>>16145497That sounds terrible.imagine 300 years being some retarded deep sea fish.
>>16145503But you would have nothing to compare it to because you wouldn't have any memory from your past forms. Think about this. In a previous form you could have been a higher level multidimensional being who looks down on humans in the same way as you look down on that fish. Also being that fish could be extreamly pleasurable in ways that a human wouldn't understand.

>>16145532It was revealed to him in a DMT dream.
>>16145532There are ways to get past the shell your consciousness is in and im guessing by your response you haven't tried any of them. A basic one is mediation if you want to communicate with the source. The source will tell you this information. You can also find it written down or told by humans but unless you hear it directly from the source yourself you won't believe it.
>>16145542Lucid dreaming is another way you can communicate with the source. You don't need to put external dmt into your body to feel its effects. It releases when you're sleeping.
>>16145542Weird, DMT pointed me to Jesus Christ
>>16145545I did DMT and became a Christian, you're just prideful and want there to be more hidden secrets in the universe that you can glory in. Glory goes to God, sir
>>16145549>>16145584>>16145585have you guys like... considered the possibility that the drugs might just be giving you brain damage and not actually revealing to you the secrets of the universe?
>>16145360>not everything feels like something elseHence, qualia.
>>16145590Actually brain damage is exactly what does reveal the "secrets". Or a better way to say it would be that damaging or otherwise imparing your brain so that it doesn't function in the neurotypical way is a method to see outside of your own mind. Obviously everyone will eventually suffer massive brain damage when they die and that's like unplugging your consciousness from the computer that it's in. Its very hard to explain with words anon. There's a reason schizophrenia, NDEs, drugs, death etc all produce similar results.
>>16145355if sleeping is anything to go by, comfy as fuck
>>16145585we _are_ god, though, there is no separation between you or the rest of existence, all is one, one is all
*whistles the MASH theme*
>>16145497neat idea thinking about it it terms of focal pointsi think ill yoink that and insert it into my own fanfic about what "happens" after you die
>>16145542No I told him
Irish Wolfhounds are amazing animals and great dogs.
>>16145355>/sci/ is for discussing topics pertaining to science and mathematics>poses metaphysical questionI fucking hate all of you.
there is no dead, there is only existinfinitely
>>16146392Source:>
>>16146403But where did something come from? Nothing?
>>16145524Too bad most forms of existence in this shithole look extremely brutal and painful.How do I stop coming back
>>16145449I hope mine isn't Chuck Norris's hairy arse.
>>16146424>arseThis is an American imageboard for Americans only.
>>16146450no it isn't
>>16146404ye
>>16145355Seems fun, I want to kill myself
>>16146409Not coming back in any form in any world would require you to become god which is easy to do. But once you become god again you'll remember why you wanted to incarnate in finite forms in the first place and then you'll do it again
>>16145355Have you ever died before? How do you know you're not dead right now?
>>16146409>How do I stop coming backYou need to hit that Unubscribe button. They hide it really well these days. I am also looking for it.
>>16145355You feel a lot of pain :)
>>16146663He said dead not dying
>>16146403This isn't an image of nothing. Its an image of the color black. Retard
>>16146827true. my picrel is proper example of nothing.
>>16145355They took away the dog's dick bone.
>>16146873Fucking jews
>>16145414this is the answer.
>>16145602This. Sleep deprevation also works.
>>16146965Yup. If you know you know
The same as not being alive
We just spontaneously popped up out of nothing before when we were born why wouldn't it happen again after we die?
>>16148402Wow thats so original and thought provoking and I've never heard anyone say that before anon
>>16148402you need some identity which as far as we know is based on your experiences with your set of genes (material structure, constantly changing based on experiences). so how would the same identity pop up again in a different circumstance, again formed from the baby stage, with different genes and different experiences? how is that "new" (You) form different than anyone else alive today? what exactly is this (You) that another baby would contain so you get another life here?the way I see it you can maybe experience past death here, as the same thing that was already formed by your genetics and experiences. somewhere else, at some other time, somehow (which seems tricky).
>>16148462consciousness is separate from identity or memories
>>16148466you kind of need to prove that anon. you suppose this wild thing, start building theories around it, and somehow you forget you just supposed it exists, and get frustrated when said theories are under attack. you completely forget you have to prove your bullshit
>>16148467l'existence précède l'essence
