let me tell you first that I am buddhist so I believe in afterlife and karma seems to affect us by which we are incarnated in anything depending on how we did a good or bad deed to others.
but sometimes I think I just rely on what could be relief to soothe my pain or fear to die.
what do you think? hell or heaven in this hyper high tech society where we land on the moon?
wish there is vast nothingness after I leave this world. uncosciousness is an absolute bliss.

I just made a post about this: https://suicideproject.org/2017/02/what-do-you-think-happens-after-we-die/
lost of comments and opinions.
I 150% believe there is an afterlife, I dont know much about the buddhist faith, but i know that reincarnation is something that people believe may be a possibility. I for one do believe in past lives and reincarnation but i believe it is a choice. You do not have to come back to this life if you dont want to and that comforts me, especially because this life hasnt been good to many and myself.
I am not afraid to die, i welcome it with open arms and I actually cant wait for it to happen. People talk about what you will leave behind, but if its true and we all see our loved ones again, why would that matter what we leave behind? its all materialistic, dont you think?
the afterlife is a beautiful place and it is nothing to be afraid of. xo
“wish there is vast nothingness after I leave this world. uncosciousness is an absolute bliss.”
Don’t worry, might just be exactly that thing you desire which is coming afterall when you are done
At least in my mind, belief and brief excursion
Black velvet of true peaceful nothing, not a bad deal despite it all.
I believe in the Buddhist account of ‘bardo’ as described in “The great liberation through hearing in the bardo”, aka ‘The Tibetan book of the dead.
They say it’s a lot like the dream world, lasts 49 days, and you are visited by ‘peaceful’ and ‘wrathful’ deities, representing the good and bad aspects of your self. During that phase, if you can recognize the experiences as being manifestations of your own mind, you will be liberated, but most people develop an intense anxiety to return to the realms of existence, and they enter one of the six unenlightened realms, based on what karma is ripening.
Hi Kanister and Mountaingoat
I believe this Buddhist belief too but think that during those 49 days some of us can be helped to see the truth by our guides and get to go to a heavenly realm. So I think if I understood everything I’ve read correctly, you can then after you’re in a heavenly realm, choose to incarnate at a future time passed the 49 days, either on earth or in another plane of existence. Does this make sense, is this what you have found through your research as well?
Wow, that’s a question that always generates debate. As a recovering catholic and christian, I no longer fear the flames of hell or look forward to rainbows, angels and harps in heaven. What I’m leaning towards is something reincarnation based, since it seems learning is the general rhythm of life here. We’re born, learn to cry, learn a life’s worth of lessons, learn to die, then off to somewhere/something else to continue. Does suicide delay the progression to “The Next Level of Learning?” Who knows.
When the brain stops working ego dies and you stop being you. Everything else is irrelevant.
There is nothing for your brain to experience because it is dead by then.
So, if there is a soul/spirit attached to the physical body, it moves away to something else, and if not, there’s nothing. Void, absence of all, nothing. Either way, as long as “I / ME” is out of the picture, yay!
guys, I mentioned that I am buddhist. that being said, still I think every religions are created(or invented) for people because we are born vulnerable and nobody knows what its like when you die.
so we can just believe in anything in a preferred way and if one feel better with whatever religion than without it, then it got its job done. any imaginations will do like journey to the center of the universe without physical body floating around with our immortal soul.
