I think the “afterlife” is a questionable thing. I mean really don’t you think it would get crowded after a while? However that doesn’t mean there isn’t eternal rest. Or maybe reincarnation. Either way you sleep forever or you restart. Although I’m doubtful on the restarting thing. But possible. Maybe I’m not exactly the one to answer what most would see as a religious question because I’m Wiccan. So take it for what you please. It really only means I have my own thoughts and don’t really follow rules. Well aside from one which basically sums up everything to basically be nice.
In this movie called: ‘Wristcutters, A Love Story’ (on of my all time favorites)– the premise is that if one happens to off themselves then they are destined to live again albeit in another world that is just slightly more shitty than the last.
It’s an endless desert landscape.
And no one can smile.
Great film. I bet many of the denizens of SP have seen it and if you haven’t partook then you should bc I find it oddly inspiring.
Damn, I have to watch it. I’ve mostly given up on the idea of reincarnation now but sometimes I think of the possibility similar to this movie – that I’m a serial suicide soul which is running away from problems in each life by trying out a new method each time and this means a worse next life. But instead of facing up to them and washing clean my karma, I mock in face of God by killing myself yet again. This life is going to be no different, but I’ll die only after watching that movie for validation purpose 🙂
No. Mental problems are part of the mind. The mind is part of the world — we have a common mind, formed by millions of years of evolution, + genetics + our environment, culture, etc. All of this is material and are subject to the laws of materialism (aka death). This is pretty easy to see.
Dunno what happens after death, though I have my suspicions. But whatever I believe, it’s a FACT that mental illness will die with the body, as will everything else in the mind. This much is clear.

Maybe someone else might but not me.
There is no afterlife or the next life, this is a one shot deal.
When you die your brain dies and you go back to non existence.
