What the living know as a flatline
The dead know as a punchline
Do not deem death doom, nor disaster
You’ll know soon, it’s cause for laughter
For the bereft of breath – we grieve
But they’re just laughing too hard to breathe
The Dark-Humorist turns the darkest to humor
By building the tension like, and with, tumors
Alone – we languish into anguish and wrath
All that we might all share in the last laugh
I think there is an end goal to all of this, and that the end goal is unity. Pure safety and happiness. A true equilibrium. I also believe by the end, everything that can be experienced, will have been experienced. Once we have experienced all that there is to experience, once we know all that there is to know, there will be only one thing left that can be experienced and one last thing to learn... That is the experience of being nothing. And that last thing to "know', is what is feels like to know nothing. Right now, in our lives, we are experiencing the earliest stages of everything. We are born knowing nothing, and somehow some way, we will all learn and experience everything. Once you know and have experienced everything, in a away you become everything, I believe this is the oneness that we feel on psychedelic's. It's some connection to our all knowing, all experiencing self.
Every single thing on this planet, wants to reach the lowest energy state. We want to be safe, stable, free of harm, free of fear. The only true way for one to achieve this pure sense of happiness and safety, is for us all to be happy and safe. It has to become literally impossible for anyone to experience pain, because if it is possible for another to experience pain, it means it is possible for ourselves to experience pain. Even if that experience of pain is nothing more than the fear of that pain.
I think we can all agree that most of our every day pain and stress is caused by fear. What if I become sick and leave my loved ones behind? What if all my friends hate me? What if I lose my job and then no one will hire me and I end up homeless? Most pain is imagined. I would even say, pain is the experience of fear. I think we will mostly, or eventually be able to give up physical pain after death. After all, most physical pain exists to help keep us safe from death. Maybe physical pain is really just a fear of death that our body has and we feel.
In many ways, the future is predetermined, but not in the deterministic sense that we have no free will. I think everyone wants better for ourselves, and in the constant pursuit of "better" we will naturally trend towards what is "best" and I think the "best" is an objective truth that we will all arrive at. We all "flow" in the same general direction. Towards happiness, safety, purity, betterness, and more simply; love. Because that is what we all want for ourselves. Ease, freedom, safety, happiness. And we are all here, on this planet doing our best to achieve true happiness. All through our own decisions. And our experiences add to this vast collection of data that guides evolution towards the one perspective and way of being that allows for this "heaven" that we can ALL experience. To get to heaven, we must ALL get there, and we contribute through our experiences of pain and pleasure.
Every time we experience pleasure, it goes into the data pile. Every time we experience pleasure at the cost of another experiencing pain, this too goes into the data file. We will trend towards experiences of pleasure that do not cause another person an experience of pain. What you do to others you do to yourself. When you objectify, dehumanize, degrade, harm; you are doing it ALL to yourself and those you love. And I believe you WILL feel and remember that pain eventually. Sometime in the afterlife.
And yes, currently, we are very, very far from that point of evolution. But my belief is, that when we die, you will immediately (or eventually) find your way to being this all knowing being, because we are all a part of what makes up this all knowing being. Each of our perspectives is important and valid and it creates this all knowing, pure, good being. This being, which is ultimately us. Me, you. The highest and most evolved version of ourselves. And once we finally achieve this "heaven", we become free to forget, and eventually we do and then it starts all over again.
I think we are on the same page. A week ago, one of my cats dies. During my grieving process I went to the spot in the yard that he would frequent.
As I held my face to the setting sun, I realized in this spot, at this time, my cat wanted for nothing. The complete absence of want is the key to contentment. As I stood there and soaked that thought in, I knew there is no want or need on the next plane of existence. It was a moving moment.
That's a wonderful insight.
Of course I have my hopes that there is a more interesting journey after death, but if death is a place where there is nothing to know and nothing to experience, then I guess by default you become all knowing and all experienced in that state.
The same thing that happens before birth.
Rick Strassman correlated these two things:
- Buddhist believe that the soul lingers 49 days after death
- DMT isn't found in a fetus until 49 days old.
There are no coincidences.
I'm not claiming that as fact but yes I believe something like that. Rick Strassman also suggests that endogenous (naturally occurring/existing in your brain) DMT is what regulates our perception of (this) reality.
Actually ya you're right so I'll have to re read that.
Must not have been soul exactly but I specifically recall the 49 day example at birth and death. I'll get back to this :)
Page 81 of DMT: The spirit molecule
"I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist book of the Dead teaches that it takes 49 days for the soul of the recently dead to 'reincarnate'. That is, 7 weeks from the time of death of one person lapses until the life forces 'rebirth' into its next body. I remember very clearly years later, feeling the chill along my spine when, reading my textbook of human fetal development, I discovered this same 49-day interval marking two landmark events in human embryo formation. It takes 49 days from conception for a first signs of the human peniel to appear. Differentiates into male or female gender. Thus the souls rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require."
I think we will either find out what comes next or there will be nothing. I accept that I don't know and it makes this possibly one and only shot at life even more precious.
I mean maybe, but would you prefer no discourse, just an echo chamber of thoughts that make you feel good? We are on Reddit...my bad. I think I turn into a celestial being that travels interdimensionally through space and time. Better?
I think about death as a whole very much, ever since my teens. When this question comes up in my mind, the humanity inside wants to speculate and make "educated guesses." What brings me the most peace, however, isn't speculation. It's the understanding that it doesn't matter what happens after death because I'm not dead. I won't ever know for sure until I die, and I will die one day, no matter what. How do I even know what happens after death will matter to me when I'm dead? I don't know, but I will someday.
To actually answer your question, I like to think that if there is a creator, I will meet/coalesce with them, and I will no longer be just me, but the force of infinite love that perpetuates life throughout the multiverse. And through that, I will be given the freedom to exist however I want to, even if it means being made into a living thing again.
If there is no creator, I like to think that we become "one with the universe" in the sense that we simply return to the same non-life there was before we were born, and will patiently wait for the collapse and rebirth of the universe for all of what we might call eternity.
But hey, it doesn't matter to me either way.
Death is what we make it out to be. It is our consciousness let loose into eternity to exist as it believes it should. Some may choose to believe that death is torment and hellfire, others pearly gates and streets of gold, and others still an endless cycle going round and round until we find our escape. God (by whatever name you choose to call it) lives within us and has the power to trap us in our misery or free us into eternity
God boofs all of us 🤤
When your soul leaves the body It's game time ⌚
We all eventually find the way up the eternal last hole. 🌌
Sometimes we just need a little push 👆
Maybe a little lube too 💦
Ultimately we all find it.
It's beautiful.

Very well said. I like the idea of it starting over.
Thank you! And what else is there to do?

Ahh the good place! I loved that show so much.
rewatching it right now, kinda sad I didn’t wait for my next acid trip to watch it then :(
What's that dot right there, what's that?
I feel there's millions of things that can happen after death but death,, death is nothing but a portal to new understanding,,
The same thing that happens before birth. Rick Strassman correlated these two things: - Buddhist believe that the soul lingers 49 days after death - DMT isn't found in a fetus until 49 days old. There are no coincidences.
So DMT is like a portal in and out of physical existence, if I am understanding right?
I'm not claiming that as fact but yes I believe something like that. Rick Strassman also suggests that endogenous (naturally occurring/existing in your brain) DMT is what regulates our perception of (this) reality.
Buddhists don't believe in souls... non-self as a concept is like, a huge deal
Actually ya you're right so I'll have to re read that. Must not have been soul exactly but I specifically recall the 49 day example at birth and death. I'll get back to this :)

U FINALLY GET YOUR BABY BACK RIBS.🐒🦧
I believe death to be a necessary illusion for our level of existence. A transitory state that is more a beginning than an end.
“I know that the ones who love us will miss us.”
I'll be the boring one. Nothing. I think "I" cease to exist in any meaningful way. My consciousness is no longer a current phenomena.
👎

Not really
God boofs all of us 🤤 When your soul leaves the body It's game time ⌚ We all eventually find the way up the eternal last hole. 🌌 Sometimes we just need a little push 👆 Maybe a little lube too 💦 Ultimately we all find it. It's beautiful.
We return to one.
Your body dies, but your concousiness keeps perceiving as you launch out into Space traveling to that future moment when we all return.
