the afterlife is really scary imo, not because of ceasing to exist but because of the uncertainty.
The most comforting theory is just cessation, if consciousness really is just the body and brain working together to manifest who you are and once you die, you just cease to exist, unaware, floating in nothingness forever
But the heaven or hell theory is very cruel because we as humans always want what religions with this theory seem to say is wrong doing and will end you up in the bad bit.
Meanwhile reincarnation is the most horrifying theory, if it’s classical like you will be reborn as someone or an animal in the future, not so much because of the world keeps getting better and eventually more and more people will be happy with their lives.
The egg theory is the worst one yet, living every human life ever until you’ve lived them all, experiencing every bit of bad and good ever, while being unaware of it, it’s truly gruesome since I believe that the bad of life almost always outweighs the good since you get used to the good and when something bad happens it feels way worse than if something good of the same degree happened
How losing 50 bucks feels a lot worse than earning 50 bucks does.
What do you guys think?

Not really stressed about it yeah, just when you’re on that typpa timing and you think about stuff like this.
But what is out of your control is nothing to worry about

Here’s something to calm ur nerves.
It’s nothing. Our thoughts in our brain are nothing once we die. We can’t process anything. It’s simply nothing.

Yeah that’s what I lean into aswell, there’s endless universes and just in ours who knows how many life forms exist outside of earth, how many universes exist with sentient life, everything really just might be by pure chance

idk if it makes you feel better, but theres a good chance that the afterlife doesnt exist. youll probably just stop being, feeling and existing. relax bhai

stressing about the whole idea is simply unnecessary the existence of an afterlife isn't necessary scary it can be for some but in my opinion i just neglect the idea just focus on the present focus on life enjoy it while you can overthinking the idea of an afterlife will just decrease the quality of your life no one knows what will happen we got millions of theories but do any of them benefit us, they just ease the stress in other words cope.

Yes maybe if there is somehow a heaven or hell then being a good person to get to the good bit is not much, I mean if I ever was to become successful I would definitely try my best to spread wealth to those who could benefit from it. Not only because of the afterlife but just being a good person makes you feel good

i don't have the motivation to read any fear mongering
 
In some hindu and a lot of Buddhist philosophy there is an idea of forgetting the self, and that nature is not a set of unique selves but a single thing which is composed of souls or spirits which view the body as the "self". If you become enlightened, or reach nirvana, or one of the other ideas which are all about escaping the cycle of rebirth, you can be freed from this. Interesting to think about.
