Thread: What would you like to happen after you die?

If you are reincarnated it would be YOU who is reincarnated and you would be who you are now but with a different body. You can try to be a better person right now, you don't need to die and be reborn. Or rather die and be reborn before death of the body would be better.

Want to know what your past lives were like? Look at your life now. Want to know what your future lives will be like? Look at your actions now.

Sorry, multiple post, but now it is my turn.

I want to remain aware and let my consciousness exit my body via my fontanelle on top of my head and merge with the clear light. There I want to dwell on the shore of form and formlessness until I can wisely choose the best way to be reborn in order to help everyone else achieve cessation of suffering.

I don't want to go to Heaven or Hell or paradise or any perfect idyllic realm because then I will not be motivated to grow andI will become stupid and then I will use up my good karma until I will be reborn as a mosquito.

The reason I am into lucid dreaming is that I am training myself to be able to remain lucid after death. But I think it is not going as well as it could and I should find another additional method.

I want my body to also be eaten by wild beasts.

Most likely death simply means an end to consciousness. Once the brain physically fail you lose cognitive function, memories, emotions, and pretty much everything that is you.

Seems remote that anything would be left after the brain decays.



Still. The science of combatting ageing is advancing more quickly than ever before. I spend my time at university making connections with people that will go on to pioneer immortality in science form.

I shall defeat Death through them. And become ageless. Endless.

And then spend eternity playing Tetris. :3

If you identify with the brain, death ends you. If you identify with the ground state of being, nearly all that you are will remain.

Why the hell are you training lucid dreaming for when you die. Thats a bit thinking ahead isnt it?

Why don't you just use the button that lets you quote multiple people and/or the edit button?

This too. I guess if you believe in karma and reincarnation and stuff it makes sense... But what's stopping you from going out and doing something good for the world now? I think someone else already said this, but how does being reborn help you? You'll still be the same person, after all.

I beg to differ. Your personality and the way you act is based upon your experiences and the way you were brought up. If you were the same every time what would even be the point of teaching your kids right from wrong. Your consciousness, reasoning, and emotions are all controlled from your brain. Your soul is just your being, an entity. Ghosts don't look like anything, they don't move, they just are, they just exist.
