Spiritually? Nothing. We rot/get cremated and our matter is redistributed.

But I think it could be possible "we" come back as another conscious being, be it a mouse, dog, horse or human etc. But "we" have no trace of our predecessors. We're just recycled amino acids contributing to the cellular structure of another creature - I'm not sure how the conscious part is decided; we don't fully understand consciousness.

I personally find the idea of coming back as different creatures until we experience a mass extinction event perturbing. I hope I'm just an amoeba when the planet's consumed by the sun.

There's no such thing as death in the sense of finality. Because there's no such thing as the self in isolation. Everything that you are as a person is an interaction between yourself and others. Your behaviour is learned and then modified and passed on to others. The things you say are factors of your experience, sometimes simple repetition, sometimes a transformation and blending of many experiences, distilled into a new idea or expression which in turn others will learn.

Everything important about you - beliefs, jokes, insights, ways of expressing yourself, cruelties and kindnesses - are all things that don't require "you" to persist. You're not the hardware, you're the software. And when this hardware fails, new hardwares will be supplied - indeed already have, and are already running parts of your software on them. Those parts of your software that were deemed good to do so, at least. If you live a good life, if you all of you are good things, all of you will carry on. If you live a bad life, if you are a collection of bad things, you will not be repeated you will not be wanted. And when you die you will vanish from the mesh and truly be gone.

So perhaps there is death. For those who wasted their life. But the truly good person, they are immortal. Death for them is merely growth.

There persists a core part of your being thats immutable regardless of time or location, fundamentally there is an intrinsic aspect of you that makes you you outside of cultural and societal norms. Obviously you're going to have an impact on those around you, especially if you're a parent, but you're overestimating to what degree, and conflating innate self with the aspects of a person shaped by culture and experiences. Unless you're some soulless ultra consumer who was an absolute blank slate from the get go there are aspects about you that you and noneone else ever had control over. It's a nice thought that the impact that you have on this planet persists your being even in an abstract way, but once you die the self as you know it ends, or at least in this plane of existence it does. You're the only person who can ever truly understand what your self is, and simply reducing it to an amalgamation of societal and cultural influences in my opinion completely erases the self all together. Accept that one day you will die, dont bother with arguments of immortality whether literal or figurative as these only work as coping mechanisms and not legitimate answers to the question of death.
 
Hey Pantera, I was told you're a nigger. First of all, report to me what kind of nigger you are. A House, free range or a bitch ass? After niggers die they go to eternal crack house where they can smoke crack and buttfuck each other for an eternity. Almost a perfect win-win situation for you. Also there wouldn't be any wipipo to oppress you there. So finally you can do what any nigger dreams off - nothing. A perfect dindoo nufin nigger. But we can't honestly call it life, but for a nigger it's the shit. Like literally.

I like this. And I will remember what you said and your ideas after you are gone.
 
As much as I'd like to believe in some sort of afterlife, I'm pretty much on the cessastion of existence train. Let's face it, death sucks, death and growing old sucks. I really wish that wasn't the case but nothing else makes sense to me and the fact that I myself will die with 100% certainity is fucking terrifying. But I just try to live by the day and have fun, hopefully my short existence was an enjoyable one.
 
sincerely i dont believe there is some kind of afterlife or anything like it, you just die and that is it. but if i had to think what would life after death be like i would want it to be a moment in which you can do all the things you never did alive, or travel to past times or future times and what not as a entity that differs from a human in like physical restrictions and etc, but that is probably unreal lol
 
With some postulations and theory of quantum immortality(just a thought experiment, not even a legitimate scientific hypothesis with palpable evidence) and the possibility of a multiverse. I believe our consciousness will continue to carry on and live out many different lives since there is some mathematical proof that the multiverse maybe a thing.
 
I for one hope there really is nothing after death. Life is already insane and deranged enough. Last thing I want to deal with is another retarded universe after this one.
 
I think theres a bajillion alternate dimensions with near identical versions of ourselves and that if we die in one we would just hop over to another one without knowing what happened.

So like if you cross the street and get hit by a semi youd die in that universe but not in the one where you looked first, so from your perspective you would have just looked in the first place.
 
Hello everyone...
i do not know how it is for others...but...i can tell you what i experienced :

in 2017, my Son catchend a very bad Flu...and after a few Days...i got it too...i went to a Doctor and because i have a Heart Condition (Mitral Valve Prolaps Syndrom )
i always have to take Antibiotics. My Health Insurance pays the Medicament, but there s a small % that u have to pay too...to that Time, we were very broke and Payday
was a few Days away so i spend the last Euro s for Bread for the Family...
the Flu was getting worse and my Heart became really weak...it s hard to explain...anyway...
i started to not be able to breath correctly anymore...to that Time i didn t knew that, when my Heart got weaker (specially the Left Side) my Lungs would start to
be surrounded by Liquit and inside of the Lungs as well...
Long Story short...i ended up with Pneumonia on both Lungwings...it was so bad that my Mother rushed me into the ER because i wasn t able to drive anymore...
after arriving in the ER, the Nurses were taking my Information and while one tried to look for my Blood-pressure my Lungs just Collapsed...
i wasn t able to breath in anymore...of course i panicked and with the last breath i had i yelled...i can t take a breath!
Then everything went really fast...the Doctor came and pressed a dome shaped thing over my Mouth and Nose and a Bunch of Air got pressed into me...
but i lost consciousness and everything went black...
i remember very clearly, that there was a bright golden Light...it was so warm...it wasn t a Tunnel or something what u hear normally from Near-Death-Storys...
it was just everything Golden around me...i thought about my Mom, my Kid and my Husband...but i wasn t worry at all....i never in my entire Life was so calm and
just happy ...there wasn t any sadness or regrets...just peace, quiet and this wonderful warm feeling...like someone gave me a whole Body-hug....
i woke up around 12 Hours after my arrive at the ER...i was in the Intensive Care Unit...for a Moment i was confused but a Nurse came right away to ask me, if
i know my Name and where i am...after i answerd a few Questions i started to become very sad...i didn t wanted to be away from that golden Light...
as stupid as that sound s but...i cried like a Baby that Day..

since this Experience...i am not afraid to die anymore...i will see the golden Light again...i am sure of it...

btw...the Pneumonia-Story unfortunately didn t End there for me...after another Kollaps of my Lung i was laid in an induced Coma for
4 Weeks...but contrary to the natural Coma i felt in, the induced one gave me many many Nightmare s...i wrote them all down so...
for the Case anyone would like to know about them...just have to translate them to English

You do not need to use... So many elipses... Holy shit.

Also common nouns like "coma", "light" and "nightmares" do not need a captial letter because they are not places, groups of people or a specific person.

Apparently you're a sloth IRL because the dots signify that you're pausing after your sentences. Sure, write however you feel but it's weird and unecessary from a grammatical standpoint.

Back on topic: I don't think your experience with near-death is indicative of an afterlife, IMO. Sorry you went through something so scary, though.

The body does a lot of weird shit when it's struggling to conserve oxygen - you said you had pneumonia and were struggling to breathe, right? There's a lot of sensory disturbances as the brain tries to deceide where it should divert bloodflow in order to maximise chances of survival.

As for your calm, euphoric feeling, I've heard that sometimes when people are near death the brain will release endorphins in an effort to counteract the extreme stress.

That's what I believe your experience was caused by, anyway. Just your brain freaking out as it tried to hold itself above water. 🤷

Really recenly someone i knew for about two years and who was in her early twenties died in a car crash.
Seeing pictures of her car on the news was strange . She couldnt be helped, dead on impact.

As far i could tell she was a really honest and decent person.
I am a scumbag myself and knowing someone died who was morally&responsibly 1000 times better then myself is giving me an ominous feeling...

So far i could tell it was probably a deer who scared her and she lost control of the car.

Yeah but why do you hop to the other dimensions? What's so special about this incarnation of yourself that you get to just proceed as if nothing ever happened in another universe taking over the life unknowingly of another version of yourself?

Wouldn't it be more likely that the other version of yourself continues living that life? For all intense and purposes a clone of yourself no matter how accurate isnt truly you, and you could never be them.
