where do we go? have you ever really thought about what happened if you died in a car accident tomorrow? what would happen. i personally think that when we die, that's it, there's nothing more after it. you just don't exist. anyone have any interesting theories on death?

^ man when I fall, I always hit. And it doesnt hurt at all. let yourself fall.

Dreams are really mysterious...

we, as human beings, created all of these thing; heaven, hell, gods, and souls. we are no different from rats really, when we die, it is over. nothing lives on. death is death. death.

Thats what I think. But whenever I think about death I think about all the things I wouldnt be able to do, think, breath...all those things that define that you are living, I usually get really sad.

i agree.

and as for the soul being only electrical impulses and chemical signals, that is a fallacy of reduction. it is obviously these things (or maybe not?), but also much, much more. Music is not just sound waves, art not just various colored oils on a canvas, litterature not just sentences. careful.

I don't really beleve in religion and god and stuff. But I think ghosts and stuff liek that could be real, but they are all actaully scientific. Like when you die, your conchinse stays around, kind of like what a ghost is. But if there is a heaven or something liek that, that'd be sick.

make a difference in the world we live in today. it makes me wonder how a loving God could send us to hell. i like to believe that if there is a God it is forgiving of the misteaks we make here on earth. but i also wonder of the existance of a God when we have so many problems here on earth, war, hate....

i heard that we die and all get our own planet that we get to let our wives into if we want because only we know their real names. it has to be true. i heard from some old lady who told me during my trip to park city last year.

Humans are no different from any other mammal or animal, really. We all have a life cycle and when it has run its course then you die and your time on earth is done. I think that it is because we are aware of our own mortality that we try to create something to ease us into death and face our eventual demise

I hate the thought of dieing and not being able to think, I would love just to be in a dream forever or something.

yeah i've died in dreams before, nothing really happened, i just lost my perspective and the "camera" zoomed out from my skeleton haha, kinda weird, i woke up shortly after that tho.
and it's weird to think about the fact that most people would probably choose even an afterlife of misery and pain over nothingness. as long as there's "something" after death people feel comforted. i dunno, i don't think there's anything after death though, i guess that shouldn't be that scary but it is.

Everything everyone has said is completely irrelevent. Like trying to explain death with ever more complicated theorys of interdemensionality, conscious creation, universal subconsciouos is all really farsical. It doesnt get to the heart of thie issue. The heart of the issue is this- NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS. And for alot of people (myself included) the possibility that all reality fucntions on foundation of the unknown and the incomprehensable is simply to much to take.

HP Lovecraft said it best-

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

So cut the crap on the thin philosophical wanderings and get back to what we all do best: living

The key to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery.
