I believe that after death is a great thing. A time of true growth and freedom. Its getting their that sucks sadly. I feel our bodies are made to hate death so much to make sure we maximize our time here. No idea why being here for as long as possible is important though, I feel like I'm done and essentially jus wish for a peaceful death in my sleep every night.

>I feel like I'm done and essentially jus wish for a peaceful death in my sleep every night.

Same. I want to be with God and in the afterlife.

that book you got right there is the absolute closest any religion or philosophy has got to the actual process. here's what i can tell you based off of direct experience, when i read that book i was floored by how it resonated with what i experienced. and just for information i was raised christian so my cultural context was trained for heaven and hell but what i experienced was different.

> you pop out of your body, this process can be painful but it feels like being too big for your body
> you then observe your body. you can see stuff happening
> emotions disappear, you may be confused but any attachment you have to life itself you stop giving a fuck about. stuff like children or ambitions, all the sudden you dont care. its like "meh, itll be fine".
> you go to this "other" room but its just a white light its hard to be called a room but there you meet yourself. this version of yourself looks different but is you. its what people call the higher self or guardian angel
> you have the option to hang out for a little bit on earth or go to the actual crossing over, i believe the tibetans call it the bardo
> while in the "waiting room" with the other version of yourself you can ask any question and instantly get the answer, only problem is you need to know what question you want to ask
> you can visit anyone you want, lets say you wonder what your wife is doing at the moment, you will go to her and observe exactly what she is doing at the moment of your passing
> you have the option to hang out and not crossover for a period of time. you can get stuck if you get attached to this state of being or somebody else is too attached to you
> the people who go into the actual light are uploading their consciousness or something into it
>if its not your time your other self is gonna send you back to your body

Don't worry about whats going to happen when you're going to die. Its not painful, its not traumatic, it feels familiar and like going home. And you are more than likely just going to come right back here once you cross over for real real. Just try to live your life to the best of your ability, there is no torture or pain waiting for you, no annihilation or punishment. You're here for a reason and so just live your life the best you can and try to enjoy the ride. You only get stuck if you are attached to this plane of existence, or emotions from this plane of existence. You don't want to not be able to cross over because you're in so much anger or grief or fear when you die.

You're going to be fine anon. Please don't fear death. Once you relinquish death then you can truly live.

Sounds a lot like some people's NDE experience and astral projections

I think the process of physical death can be agony. Maybe even if it's technically a peaceful physical death, if you are aware of its coming, even seconds before, your body will drown you in panic and terror and that is most uncomfortable

>the people who go into the actual light are uploading their consciousness or something into it
This scares me though, feels like I'd be less of me if I did that. Can't I just chill in the waiting room forever? Seems pretty cool, like a ghost with a whole world to explore.

I'd wager that some pain is necessary to drive the point home that you're about to die. People who died in miliseconds by having their head blown off are probably prone to becoming lingering ghosts because they didn't catch on what happened.

Every story you ever heard, every book you ever read. It is all false.

You simply cease to exist, total black. There is nothing. The only awareness you ever had is due to your biological brain, when you die this causes you to scramble and not be you anymore
I have worked with people with brain damage, people who got too old, and people who had chemical influence on their brain. Trust me when I say, it is all biological, and after death all activity simply goes away. You are your brain, you are not anything else other than your brain.
I mean the actual sponge the actual thing inside your skull, that is all you are. Your consciousness is a product of it.

When you die, it is all over.

Lmao this nigger really believes in the big black sack hahahaha

That perspective is simply not worth entertaining. Even if it happens to be true, there is nothing to achieve by believing in it. If you start from this assumption and ultimately arrive at anything besides nihilism, you've made a logical error somewhere.

your brain is an antenna. Ofc that if it breaks down or malfunctions, you will stop receiving or broadcasting (soul) signals. What remains to be seen from your receiving end is basically nothing, so you might as well think there is nothing to transmit to you

what a lifeless cocksucker puppet you are.

>does it hurt
depends
>does it end?
yes
>will it be ok after I Die?
a better question to ask is why that matters

>>41513376

okay even if we are going to go with a purely biological model of consciousness, that consciousness is a result of "thinking" your gut and heart have clusters of independent neurons/"brains" too so your little "consciousness comes from the thing in my head" is materially and biologically inconsistent. nice try though.

oh
>do I deserve it
