I think that there is no after death but life demonstrates continuity. Death is an essential life function in terms of the transmutation of energetic systems. Human attitudes about death go hand in hand with the level of identification we have with and in life.
I want to die alone. I don't want any of my friends or family to witness me dying or to see me after I die. I prefer for them all to say their goodbyes and leave me be. I want to have my organs donated, donate my body to science or cremate me right away. No viewing of my dead body by my loved ones. That's creepy. That's not how I want to be remembered. Speaking from experience, you can never unsee those things. In my mind there is an afterlife but I don't feel like going into my beliefs on that because its only a matter of opinion. Nobody really knows what happens when we die but if I die before you guys I'll do my best to let you know.
Awwwwwhhhhh...I am sorry to hear that, T....What did you tell me in the Confessions section on my thread? I am telling you the same thing now. Get up, and put one foot in front of the other...that is all.... I am not going to think about death right now....I was confronted with it last year with my mom's sudden death in her sleep, apparently and hopefully..They told me she looked peaceful...and when I fell, I really thought that was the end of me....For the first time, I saw my own mortality then...and it was very sobering in so many ways for me. I struggle every day to regain myself all back....and then one of my cat dies unexpectedly at onloy age 6 last month. Enough for now I say!
A long, slow, drawn out, agonized, torturous, cruel and inhumane death of rotting and burning in Hell, with a boatload of go fuck myself. I remember how I died in my past lifetimes. I almost always die in my sleep, but there were some murders.
There's so many I can't count them all. I've died in the house that I'm living in now at least 3 times. eternity = harrowingly inescapable
i hope you're not too serious about the first. the things i remember from previous lives are about many of the same kinds of things that interest me in this one, principally technologies and expecially the technologies of infrastruture. i was born remembering these things, though i'm not sure memory is the right concept, yet i know some things did come with me from past lives. not understanding of how things worked, which is just as well, but of what they looked like and how to use them. none of my previous lives were on this earth. the one thing oddly enough i most particularly and annoyingly don't remember, is what people on those other worlds physically looked like. i know it wasn't like people on this earth, and i know that people on different worlds looked diffferent from people on other ones. but i have no idea specifically, when i/they looked like on my favorite of worlds on which i had previously lived. i also don't remember my births or deaths on those worlds, only bits of what portions of my adult lives on them were like.
Something quick. Gunshot to the head. Beheading. Who knows. If I make it to the old, senile, nursing home days, I'll probably overdose on something to end it. I don't want to live like that.
If I was to take a gun shot to the head I would like to not know it's coming. Ya no long term old age suffering for me either of I had a choice.
