Your Hopes For The Afterlife

[othree]

This is a question I often ask of new friends in real life, and their responses reveal quite a bit about themselves - mainly how they see themselves in this world and their level of curiosity. 

Personally, I hope to get the chance to explore another galaxy, another planet. There is so much space in this universe, it seems such a shame that we are trapped on this tiny little blue dot. My dreams are often myself as a formless "being" - I guess you could say soul, traversing through galaxies and taking in all the reactions and chaos that is occurring in every instance of what we know as time.

Don't get me wrong, I do not wish to die before it is my time to do so - I hope to fulfill myself as fully as possible before I pass on from this life - but I would be lying if I said I didn't wonder every day about what the next step in this journey is going to be.

Anyways, what do you hope for when you pass on from this life?

As far as what I don't want, any sort of continuation of this life and its feelings would be a big no no. I think if there is some sort of persisting consciousness, then it will reflect our current consciousness; that would be horrible for me, I just want peace!

So I think that the 'other side' is just void. A bit simple, I know, but everything starts and ends in void; every source of light burns out, and that's what I base my beliefs on. And that's a good thing for me, if it's true; an empty void, no consciousness no soul, it might not be peace but I think it's the closest thing any of us will get to it.

Interesting thread though, interested to hear other people's opinions.

Peace on Earth and a complete end to Religious and territorial conflicts which are causing so many terrible deaths around the world - especially within the Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia.

Also the end of capitalistic greed and corruption, which ultimately continues to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer. A true Marxist society would be nice.

I'd also like to see the elimination of such dangerous hardcore drugs such as crack, heroin, etc.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join me
And the world will be as one

I hope I still have access to the DBG board and brown and purple deliver there.

@Headbanger, you are funny!  I'm very simple in that all I want is too be with my loved ones that have passed and my best friends, oh and all my sweet animals.

I've always liked the way Thornton Wilder put it in "Our Town":

"We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars… everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for five thousand years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being."

"You know as well as I do that the dead don't stay interested in us living people for very long. Gradually, gradually, they lose hold of the earth ... and the ambitions they had ... and the pleasures they had ... and the things they suffered .. and the people they loved. They get weaned away from earth -- that's the way I put it, -- weaned away ...."

I think I would like this to be read at my funeral, if I am lucky enough to have one.

Reconnecting with all the ancestors. The Good, Bad, and Ugly.

Seeing what the future holds, The Good,Bad and Ugly.

(Sounds like a movie /default_laugh.png )

Fuck knows, I find it exciting and imagine many possibilities.

Coming back to haunt the people that have pissed you off?...

Random mischievousness?

Floating around each other and your loved ones as Pure light energy.

Protecting all the good people still left on this mortal coil...

Selective disposing of all the people abusing or hurting any one/race in any way?..

Or just a final answer as to the meaning of life?...

However, if I do end up starting all over again, I just hope there is no religion...

Cause all that shit does is divide us all. And we do that well enough, all by ourselves!

Oh, and there had better be cakes....Loads and loads of cakes!

~P~

 

[wyldepixie]

I want to reincarnate as one of those deep sea giant octopuses (octopei?) Then I will build fake ruins of Atlantis to freak out archeologists.

Yeah.....I have no idea.

 

[holymoly]

If I get my own space I want bohemian, vintage industrial, French county shabby décor.  And I want lots and lots of drawers.

 

[Misery]

I hope there will be no afterlife. It all just ends.

 

[Phrenicz]

Aaaaaaaw, that's quite sad :-(.... Maybe next time (if there is one) things will be better for you?

Or better still, you never know what's around the corner? Tomorrow could be the first day of the rest of your (much better) life

Lol Unknown! With the hours you've been working, who wouldn't?

If there is an afterlife I would like to be reunited with my loved ones. I have no family on this earth and miss them terribly. My parents and grandparents and my first husband who was also my best friend. What could be more heavenly than seeing them all again?

 

[STARBOYBLU]

Hi 2earls,

That's a good point, it would be nice to see my wife again.

Actually it has recently been revealed that there are virtually billions of earthly planets in the universe. For every star there is at least one, although there are exceptions. But anyway, I believe that it is utter nonsense to even entertain the notion that we are alone as organic living beings in the universe, and furthermore we are likely ancestors of the inhabitants of a planet of the past. Oh, and as to after death? We are energy, everything is energy, which only transforms but never dies. So if there is any purpose to our existence we are either reincarnated as humans, spirits, or something else that lives in some form.

if i could really have an afterlife, all id want is just a chance to spend it with the people i love the most, thats all. I dont care about a mansion in the sky or whatever else people think they get.
