Flips between anger and relief desu.

Anger at the inability to do anything about it and all the experiences that I could choose to be in my future if I didn't have an expiration date.

Relief at not having to contend with the experiences that people can't choose to avoid and that I got lucky to not be born into.

I'm so fucking tired of existing

That or becoming a divine spirit that leaves this backwater reality for a better realm seems ideal

i dunno i used to believe that, somethings up though

Does it scare you that it ain’t
Basketa 180

Block universe is the commonly accepted model of spacetime, and it suggests that all moments of your life are etched into the fabric of eternity. The “eternity after your death” already co-exists eternally along with the eternal moments of your life. The present is an illusion.

>>42807652
It's the worst thought and thing that could ever happen, how are we supposed to withstand that, death happening to others is scary as fuck.
I think we can use that thought to archive thing to fill our lives but anyways... Why are we forced to face an end with ourselves anons?

>>42807652
>but always and forever
Doubt. Why are we currently conscious then?

>>42807652
No I'm tired of God/the devil or whatever's retarded shit. Nigga shoulda never fucking made anybody ever

Consciousness is merely an illusion

I was not scared before I was born.

>>42807652
No, because you're wrong.

The popular religious teaching of the West as to man’s post-mortem
adventures has long been so wildly inaccurate that even intelligent people
are often terribly puzzled when they recover consciousness in Kâmaloka
after death. The condition in which the new arrival finds himself differs so
radically from what he has been led to expect that it is no uncommon case
for him to refuse at first to believe that he has passed through the portals of
death at all; indeed, of so little practical value is our much-vaunted belief in
the immortality of the soul that most people consider the very fact that they
are still conscious an absolute proof that they have not died. The horrible
doctrine of eternal punishment, too, is responsible for a vast amount of most
pitiable and entirely groundless terror among those newly arrived in
Kâmaloka who in many cases spend long periods of acute mental suffering
before they can free themselves from the fatal influence of that hideous
blasphemy, and realize that the world is governed not according to the
caprice of some demon who gloats over human anguish, but according to a
benevolent and wonderfully patient law of evolution. Many members of the
class we are considering do not really attain an intelligent appreciation of
this fact at all, but drift through their astral interlude in the same aimless
manner in which they have spent the physical portion of their lives. Thus in
Kâmaloka, exactly as on earth, there are the few who comprehend
something of their position and know how to make the best of it, and the
many who have not yet acquired that knowledge; and there, just as here, the
ignorant are rarely ready to profit by the advice or example of the wise.

forever is a meme

Permadeath is middle brain npc nonsense.

>>42807652
Sounds comfy.

>I'm tired

>>42807652
>does it scare you that in death will be the cessation of experienced consciousness not momentarily but always and forever
I wish

>>42807652
that seems like a religions opinion

no, i will simply reincarnate. i'm more afraid of having to suffer another childhood so soon, whether it will be my own again or another one i don't feel like i have learned enough in this life yet.

Fucking epic! Anon stop, my hopes can't get that up and be destroyed... too cruel. lol

>>42807652
Can't be scared if I don't exist, so no.

>>42807652
No, because I met an angel who told me about eternal life and testified that Jesus is God.

>>42807652
Yes.
There is a bit of comfort in eternal self continuing, but that wont be "me."
"I" am a product of this temporary environment and mind, and while I understand that "true me" is eternal observer, that doesnt remove the fact that "temporary me" will die and be gone forever.

I can etch a moment of my life into the fabric of reality whenever I want. I can even do it right now, on this very post: The bowl of muesli I'm eating dry is nice.
There's a nice contrast between the usual dryness and the comparatively "wet" dehydrated fruit. There's also some aftertaste that coats the tongue that feels nice. I think it's the dehydrated apple slices.

Does that mean I'll remember this bowl when I die? That I'll be able to experience it again and again forever? No.
Eternity means nothing. This etching will be as meaningless to me as the scratched up dirt left in the wake of a fallen branch.
The illusion of a present, of consciousness, is what matters and must be either maintained or restored for any such etchings to have any meaning elevated from seemingly random happenstance.

>>42807652
death scares me in what comes before it. giant tube down your throat, hooked up to every IV imaginable and whatever else. bring you back? ribs broken by cpr.

>>42807652
Unfortunately, it's not. "You" will be gone for a long, long, long time but will come back exactly as you are now, eventually.

>>42807652
No, I've never had the belief or desire for an afterlife.

Not since my NDE.

>>42807652
You go to sleep every night, only difference is that you assume that you'll wake up.
Evidence points toward there being an afterlife anyway. So no I'm not scared.

>>42807652
What scares me more is the prospect of being artificially resurrected and kept alive via technology, and then not being allowed to die. That's even scarier to me.
