I wonder if, we become some kind of kid again or a baby from some other family? Do we reincarnate within our own families? Do we get to go to some cool plane of experience which is like a lucid dream but cooler? Do we get to see loved ones? So many contrary accounts from near death experiences. Maybe it has something to do with what we believe will happen to us.
I believe we get a reset on our lifeclock, but a lot of lessons learned and knowledge of things experienced pass on. Basically rebirth.
That's cool. You know when I was a kid I used to think we repeat our lives in some way and get to do it over. But now that I am older I think that reincarnating into a new form is the more efficient expression of that concept.
I sometimes get myself into a metaphysical rut trying to figure out what I would do if given the oppertunity to change the past, like just one thing I could take back or do different. Inevitably though when I trace that train of thought long enough I realize I would never turn out as the same person afterwards.
I think it would be cool if after death we unlock "Godmode", where we can go back into our life at any point and say, "Okay now what would happen if this person did this and that instead of this?" And like experience it play out with the ability to like fast forward and stuff. Or with Godmode you could have infinite money in this like self-contained replica universe and just play with possibilities, and imagine whole worlds and scenarios into existence, see anything happen at any time in history - just get to fuck with and experience it all, like "creative mode" on minecraft
my best friend was in a car accident when she was very young and nearly died. she was in a coma for a week or two and they didn't know if she'd make it. she said she had tea with God and God asked her whether she wanted to come back to earth and finish her life or go to heaven. She told God she wanted to come back and live the rest of her life, and that's what he let her do. she's on this forum actually, though she never posts. she's the pink member 'lovepeace'. she said to me that's why while other have crises of faith, she never has because she saw and experienced near death herself. for people who have first hand experience, it's easier to be certain. her story didn't do a lot to change my atheism as an adolescent, but I was a deep philosopher and I needed to come to truths and answers in my own way.
the afterlife though ? I think that is something that I won't EVER feel certain about. All I really feel relatively sure about is that, it can't really be nothing, because there's no such thing as nothing. Just like there was no nothing before birth, there couldn't be a nothing after death. I've also sort of 'traveled' outside my body so after that it was easier to wrap my head around what happens when there is no body or brain machine running anymore. for a really long time I was so scared of death, growing up, because I was afraid it would just be this eternal nothing, and I could think of nothing worse. my friends and I would get high when I was like 15/16 and I'd slink into the living room and collapse into the couch just having this weird existential crises about whether there was nothingness after death or not. It was really friggin important to me lol. I don't fear death anymore though I certainly would never claim even a remote certainty about what comes after....
the afterlife though ? I think that is something that I won't EVER feel certain about. Maybe if I'd had a NDE myself.
Unless you die, actually die and not nearly, you would still not be certain, I know from experience.
And honestly, that is exactly what saved me over the years. The certainty that whatever happens, unless I die, I have nothing more than my own believe affirming my view on the afterlife.
Not even a NDE will can give you that. It will get you near to the truth, but that is it.
