Highway to… Hell?

I personally don’t believe in nothingness or in a eternity in hell or heaven either. I probably lean towards reincarnation or having a choice to come back or shift into another dimension or existence. Perhaps we are eternal, perhaps we are not. Energy is never destroyed, only changes form. I guess, personally, I believe when we die we probably shift into something else, perhaps by choice or perhaps not. Maybe “god” gives us heaven until we get bored. Maybe “hell” is just a learning experience in other forms/dimensions/existences for evil souls.

Scientifically, from our highly limited perspective and knowledge, paradoxes kind of prove that “something else” governs life and existence other than just nothingness or just random fluke one day your here, the next you cease to exist. It must be something else in essence. Something that falls outside of both perhaps, or encompasses far more.

For example, nothing in existence will ever prove whether existence ends at some point or whether it goes onto infinity. The reason is not only because we cannot peruse/reach every aspect of space/existence, but that existence itself may end at some point and be separated by “nothingness” only to start again at a point we could never see or experience. Picture space going on for 20 billion light years, then at the edge, there is a invisible barrier you cannot pass or experience or peruse, then after the barrier, existence starts up again. That barrier, as far as we know, would be the end of existence, but we could never prove if anything “starts up” or exists outside it. Thus, the paradox.

Another paradox, beginning and end. What created the first creation or if a first creation was not needed, how is that possible. Either answer depicts that either its a paradox or something holds true outside of the laws of the universe/existence basically.

Scientifically, paradoxes, to me, prove that either god exists or a cause exists that governs creation, including our life and death. I personally don’t think the universe is so poorly designed to wipe out living beings who desire not to cease to exist for eternity.

But guess what, living for eternity or never ceasing to exist is also equally frightening is it not? Even if you lose your memories after every life or existence, never being able to die is freighting. I think the answer lies outside of both. I think you’re given choices. I think a cause or supreme creator does exist in some manner and can basically do anything, even the impossible (ie create paradoxes).

Now if im wrong and nothingness is all that truly awaits, then like you said, you won’t have the capacity to feel unhappy, although while your alive you will feel unhappy pondering that scenerio until you die. Although that too is unprovable and implausible since “time” has no end just like in math, numbers never end. For example, if you ceased to exist for 100 billion years, 1 trillion years, 100 trillion years, you can never really prove you will cease to exist for eternity, since eternity never ends.

Paradoxes make life and death, more than just life and death. Paradoxes are a hint from whatever created everything, that if the impossible can exist by default, then there’s more to life and death than what we think.

Personally, I think when I die, I can meet some loved ones, get a choice, get some closure if needed, choose a next life, maybe fulfill some fantasies like robin Williams in “what dreams may come” things like that. Maybe not in that exact form, but I think anything that can happen is possible by default, ie, whatever you desire can be made true if its a just and noble cause.
