for our inaugural topic, death

I stumbled in this group and I’m sad about the inactivity!!

I’m more than happy to start the conversation. I personally don’t believe in and after life, I wasn’t raised religious or believe in a god. However I’d always have a theory that whatever you strongly believe in will happen to you after death. There is no real evidence of anything nor anything to disprove an afterlife either. There have been cases of people who have been presumed dead and saw “the light” before being revived, regardless of religious belives. On the same side there have been religious people who have experienced nothing but emptiness before being resuscitated. It’s an interesting topic.

I believe if someone is mindfully investing into a belief of afterlife it will happen to them, wether it’s recantation, heaven eg.

so srry im l8 to the party here.

for short, i have no clue.

while i'd like 2 be optimistic (everyone goes to a better place yada yada) it strikes me as hard to believe that there rly is a life after death. cuz when yr dead, yr gonzo - you'll never interact, feel, speak, breathe, remember, anything ever again. sometimes i wonder about reincarnation - how did our souls get here in the first place? is it not plausible sounding - our point of view being transported into some other newly created creature? or is it like a dreamless sleep where you don't wake up? but if so, how would it feel to be sleeping like that?

i think we just are nothing, no sensory

i would have a better description but im lazy

i believe that there is no such thing as an afterlife, from a Western, theological perspective, but that the transformation that happens to the body that allows for the cycle of life to continue absolutely counts as a sort of scientific afterlife. i think it's wonderful

can't wait for the shrooms, worms, and beetles to take me lmfao

I think death is our final journey, although I like the idea continuing in an ethereal existence.

i think the beauty in death is that simply life is over, not in a terrible oh finally im dead way but in the thats the cycle of life and you're at the end of it now. which is why living life to its fullest and being the most you can be is so important. because when you are on your deathbed you will die with liminal regrets and knowing u did everything u could and wanted to do. i used to believe in the after life due to being raised religious. but after looking into paganism and wicca i mostly landed on the concept no afterlife. simply put you will live here happy and full so when you get to that point u wont need to imagine a better place. your  good place was here!

I've slowly been developing a different view on life\death overall: I believe that we never technically lived yet, and are in a constant state of reincarnation, until we figure out what we truly are we are in a loop, I'm still trying to grasp this new direction in thought, so basically I think life is a "playthru" and death is just a "respawn" until you 100% life, XD simplifying it makes it sound funnier, but life as I was made to believe, has been "swiss'd in my mind already, so this is where I'm at right now
