Your Thoughts about Death

[Exquizit]

A couple months ago I was thinking about death, not "emo" like, but what it feels like. When I was younger I was afraid to die, it'd keep me up at night and I'd be afraid of dying, not wanting to leave my family behind, etc. But now I'm kind of curious as to what death actually feels like. Like what it feels like to have no stress or pain, or bad thoughts, see such terrible things happening in our world, or anything of that sort.

You know how when cancer patients or people who are suffering from a severe illness die, the family is somewhat happy because they are no longer in pain, and your "in a better place now" is there a "better place" or are you confined to black nothingness.

Do you lose feeling in everything? and just are able to think inside your mind, or does your mind even exist? do you even exist? are you in heaven(which i don't really believe in/but part of me does believe in it)?

My father was in a car accident in the early 80's i, there was 4 people in the car including himself, I'm pretty sure he was the only one to of survived though I'm not sure if one other person did. (DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE) It left him brain damaged (short term memory loss)/left side of his body doesn't work pretty much.

Anyway, he was pronounced dead, but they managed to revive him. And he later died again, but again managed to revive him and was put in a coma for six months. The doctor told his family he had no chance on living. During this time his dad, my grampa, would slap him and tell him to "wake the fuck up," my dad says he heard this but wasn't sure if it was his grandfather telling him to go back, its not your time yet, or if it was just his dad slapping the shit outta him to wake up. He said he saw his grandfather or his father, he can't really remember who it was (during his a coma). Now my uncle, now a "born again christian" prayed to God and said he would stop using drugs, and get his shit together if you allow my brother to live. Which he did... so does praying actually work...? Or is it just luck? Can you fight death?

Anyone "died" or anything of that sort? - kinda rambling, almost 4am

nothingness isnt black.

Nothing cannot be described; there are no adjectives that are possible to use to describe nothing. if it is describable, it becomes something.

nothingness is supposed to be akin to nirvana, therefore, i would assume that no matter the case, heven or nothingness, it's a better place.


i believe hell is the human condition.

death is just another realm of existence, nothing to fear or hope for.....IMO of course:stoned:

Well... what i will describe is only a theory, but for me makes sense.
Heaven and hell are described as timeless places we go after our death, and where we stay forever.
But time is relative. As every stoner knows, one minute can feel like hours... so what is one second for one people dont necessarily means one second for another.
Well... its believed that when our body is dying our brain is flooded with neurotransmitters and other substances, called triptamines, which causes very heavy hallucinations. And it makes the time to go slowwww.
So, i think both heaven and hell are states of mind, (or "trips" like some people would say) felt by people due the release of hallucinogens in the dying brain.
And, as every tripper knows, set and setting plays a fundamental role in the "trip". So, if a person was a good person, and had a positive view of the death ("when i die i will go to heaven"), then when it start to feel the hallucinations it will regard it as being in heaven. Yet if the people's view of the death were fearsome, the "trip" will be hellish.
And now enters the relativity of the time. For we, that are alive, the death of a person takes only few moments. But for the dying person, their "trippily" distorted perception of time may make this moments feels like forever. Forever being in hell of heaven.

Nobody knows. Anybody who says they know is making it up.

I know what happens when we die......I know this by personal research, here it goes, when we die we stop living.lol naw I think there is something after we die i think our soul or conscience or subconscience continues to exist after this life i don't know about heaven and hell but i'm 89% positive that there is more to experience after we die

If we cease to exist, that would be a lot like sleeping without dreaming. You remember anything from the periods you were sleeping but did not dream? Of course you don't. But after you wake up you're able to think back on that blank period and realize just how "dead" you were at that time. Now try to imagine that it never ends... It's almost impossible to imagine it at all, only from some form of observation afterwards would let you know that it happened. You won't be able to observe this state as it's happening, and if it were to never end you would not be able to wake up to reflect back on it.

We sorta came from nothing too, try to think back to before you were conceived... that's impossible unless you have past-life hallucinations carried over in your genetic code but that wouldn't be the same thing. Or maybe it would be? who knows....

Nothingness trips me out.... that's why my favourite "villain" of all time was the Nothing from The Neverending Story.

There's enough evidence to convince me that there is something after death, with all kinds of ghost phenomenon type shit that goes on... but unfortunately I haven't experienced any of that for myself and I really want to. I think our soul or life force will be free from this constricting dimensional plain of existence to roam around the other dimensions or something. Life is so redundant, I'm more than ready to go on to whatever awaits me, but I'm gonna party til that day comes.

Nothing cannot be defined; the softest thing cannot be snapped.


nothingness truly is a beautiful perfection.

[krazy chino]

nothingness is interesting indeed.........and its the most logic explanation for our simple little minds.............but why does everybody say death and sleep are the same or equvalent........when we sleep our brain is functioning in a certain way also when we dream but when we die how is our brain gonna fuction the same or even function at all when its "dead" to put us in a sleeping mode
