If you do, tell us about what you think awaits you after your last post.
And if you don't, how do you cope with knowing you will be worm food soon?

Whether you do. Or you don't. You are right

Whether you do. Or you don't. You are right
Intellectually lazy, meaningless answer.

I don't believe in life after death. I enjoy occasionally reading about some of the idealist's perspectives regarding consciousness as fundamental, but even they generally don't go as far as to suggest the continuation of an individual, ego-based consciousness after death.
In truth, I've suffered from existential dread for most of my life. It was crippling for a few years, but even now I am tormented by it. Literally just last night, I awoke suddenly with a racing heartbeat from the realization that I will cease to exist in the near future.
It's brutally gay, but I really just cannot tolerate the thought of eternal nothingness, my consciousness suddenly extinguishing, and the finality of it all. If I could delude myself with religion, I would. I've not lived a risk-averse life, and that surely hasn't helped, but when I'm at home and have too much time on my hands, it's even worse.

Do you remember anything from before you were born? I don’t. I simply didn’t exist. It’s uncomfortable to think about, but maybe that’s exactly what happens when we die — we just stop existing. And while that’s unsettling to contemplate while we’re still alive, the truth is that once you’re gone, you won’t be there to care. The fear exists only in the living. Arnold has talked about how much he hates the idea of dying; his life is great, and he still wants to accomplish so much.
The universe itself seems built around the idea that everything has a beginning and an end. If nothing ever died, the world would be overcrowded; if nothing new were ever born, life would grow stagnant. Stars burn out or explode. Even black holes eventually evaporate. And the universe may end not with a dramatic collapse, but with a quiet fade — a deep freeze of maximum entropy where all energy is spread so thin that nothing else can happen.

I believe in life after death. But I also believe you may need to come back to earth to reset and fix any mistakes or sadness you created. I think you choose your next life . You’ll be able to know the lessons you’ll learn that will help you. You’ll select to endure the pain that you may need to suffer in order to correct any wrongs you committed. And in order to have peace in the next life, you’ll need to resolve things that maybe you didn’t understand and that ended up hurting you in the previous life.
Once you learn from your experiences, you can then advance through different lifetimes.

If you live a full life you will be happy one day for it to be over, feeling one self become less each year as we age helps you slowly let go, its exhausting. Also watching the average human and the human race decline before your eyes gives you a mindset of I don't want to share the planet with these absolute brainless fuckwits gives you another reason to one day welcome the end. I don't want death but I don't fear it either and I don't want to come back and witness it for a second or third time. Im not depressed I have just lived my life to the fullest and will continue too till the day I die.

Haha, I wish I could indulge in Kurzweil's fantasy and find some optimism. You know, I used to enjoy pondering if cryogenic freezing might have some potential for life extension, but I suspect it will always remain a science-fiction given that one's neurons begin irreversibly degrading within minutes of death, and the brain will have already been damaged before freezing. Even if future technology finds a way to repair these damaged cells, it still seems implausible that all synaptic structures would be preserved and a revival would ensure a continuation of 'me' as opposed to a new person or some sort of semi-retarded version.
That aside, I once suffered from a single episode of sleep paralysis, during which I died and found myself entombed in my own body – still conscious and aware of my death, but completely unable to move a muscle. I was sleeping in a hammock outside at the time, and when I finally became fully lucid and mobile, I was stomping around and swearing my head off in a state of distress!
I'd be too scared to do something like cryogenic freezing in case a scenario like that were possible, and my consciousness continues on some base level where electrical activity carries on but remains unmeasurable, and I'm stuck there for hundreds of years like fucking Stephen Hawking. I suspect that if I live long enough to get diagnosed with something terminal, I'll just blow my brains out and avoid any potential terrifying transit to non-existence.

the experience after you are dead is exactly the same as the time before you were born
-
Christ I should have been dead 5 - 6 times over at least 30 to 40 years ago...........been living on borrowed time for decades.
That being said,I thank God several times a day and night, to still be here breathing his air,and to have made drastic changes from my former lifestyle.

Some say that "you make our own heaven or hell right here on Earth".

True.
The reason I don't fear death, is that I won't even know when it happens.
We are not special; we are just a virus with shoes.

Respectfully, have you considered that the idea of a (personal) "God" may be complete bullshit? I have been pondering the topic for about 2 decades now and it's tilted towards bullshit rather than truth

I beg to differ. Humans built civilizations, pyramids, submitted the animal kingdom, walked the moon, ...
No other lifeforms come close to what we have done as a species

I try to eat a very healthy diet in order to hopefully live longer. But sometimes you want to eat something tasty. I ate Chinese today then mourned the fact that having done so has surely taken days/weeks/monthS/years off my life

From the "perspective" of abiding in the absolute oneness of our own Being there is no life after death because there is only life and it always has been and always will remain that way. Instead of being taught to reconnect with this "womb of wonder" from a young age we are taught to disconnect from our original home in order to be shaped to live as separate individuals who take the body and the so called external world as the only reality. Suicide is naturally frowned upon but at the same time it is expected that one suicides spiritual wisdom and liberation for obsession over outward fleeting intentions. A contracted confined self walking around living in darkness is a suicide of ones own innate glory as a soul in union with the homogenous deathless glory, the undecaying light of the eternal.
In good meditation one listens to the sounds of the birds chirping and the peaceful river flowing with ones rod out well baited and waiting but in no rush and in that hush every sound and sensation arises and passes within the feeling of an emptiness that is yet completely full and lacking nothing.

I grew up going to Catholic school until they threw me out.....we were brainwashed to believe in God from an early age.
Since joining getbig over 20 years ago and reading stuff about "sky wizards and shit, I began to believe it was all pure bullshit......I became a doubting Thomas.
My recent Cancer surgery, which is the most extensive and dangerous intestinal surgery you can get, was just another incident that restored my belief in God, even though I am a total sinner.
I was on life support twice and given a 50-50 chance to live.
And this is just one of too many close scrapes, and close encounters with death in my life.
I have come to have changed my thoughts about His existence a long time ago, because as I see it,I`m just not that fucking lucky of a person to have lived through these very close scrapes with "The Grim Reaper".......something or somebody has been looking out for me in my eyes/mind.
I have no clue about reincarnation,but yes I believe fervently in God though I`m far from a "Bible thumper".......in fact,I`ve never even read it.......I just have my own path/philosophy that I try to follow. as best that I can.
I could list the the encounters but don`t feel the need to think or go dwell on back stories though I will never forget them.
You be you,and I`ll do me.
Remember,"there are no atheists in foxholes" !!!
See you in Hell bro. ;)

Respectfully, you brought up not a single cogent argument, not one, in this testimony. If anything it just explains that you are alive thanks to modern medical science, the polar opposite of divine intervention.

If you believe in God then you have to believe he provided the medical science, as such that was the divine intervention.

I cannot preface enough that I am coming from a respectful place but I have to ask tough questions. Such as: why did God allow sinners to live and let infants to die? Must be a God with love for getbiggers?

But why would God do the opposite of what the Bible says? He lets brutal sinners live through cancer but lets innocent children die terrible deaths? There would still be evil without such glaring injustices.

I think there is a misunderstanding here and I don't mean to be argumentative at all. Mister Wes by his own admission is a sinner, my question is why did God favor his fate over that of dying infants who are by all standards considered pure and innocent.
I never implied he was evil, I just mentioned that without such injustices we could still have evil which you said is needed to have good.

Forget Wes, there is a much bigger argument here.
Good and evil are just your preferences because your morals are based on your personal preferences absent a belief in God.

You are making a lot of assumptions there. You can perfectly have your morals from a religion without believing in God. I think this may actually be quite common or at least in countries and cultures with a high degree of religious practice. I mean your morals are taught to you as a child and growing up and they are mostly drawn from a Christian base and influenced by Greek philosophy in many cases. Even if you never drink the coolaid so to speak it still shapes your worldview. This may be all bullshit not sure. You tell me.

It is quite magical that we happen to have this earth at the perfect distance from the sun somewhere in a rather vast universe.
Seriously take a hike in nature and eat some magic mushrooms. If your conclusions are still the same then at least you will be happier and more at peace from it.

Why is there a natural process for a tree? Why is there a Universe? Let's assume there is nothing. No time, space, matter (atoms, etc.), no 4 forces - Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear Force, Weak Nuclear Force.
How do you get from nothing to a super dense and tiny mass concentration called the "Singularity" that "existed" before the Big Bang?! Note that you start with nothing. Now you need to conjure up the Singularity. Eventually you need the 4 fundamental forces. Why does mass have gravity?

Argument Against Reincarnation
If we assume the universe has a creator or a creative intelligence behind its laws, reincarnation still doesn’t make sense — not philosophically, not scientifically, and not logically.
1. The Motivation Problem: Why would a creator design reincarnation?
People often say: “A tree is just the result of natural processes.”
Sure — but that assumes the natural processes themselves just exist.
Reincarnation is completely different. It requires the creator to intentionally design a system where souls jump between bodies.
What’s the purpose?
Common claim: “Souls reincarnate to learn lessons.”
But that falls apart:
• Why design a system where humans forget everything they supposedly learned?
• Why would someone reincarnate as an ant or cockroach — what lesson is learned there?
• Why is the system filled with randomness, trauma, and inequality?
• Why do different cultures invent totally contradictory rules for reincarnation?
A system without memory is not a learning system.
A purposeful creator would not design something so incoherent.
2. The Mechanism Problem: How would reincarnation actually work?
For reincarnation to be real, all of the following must exist:
• A soul independent of the brain
• A method for the soul to detach at death
• A method for it to enter another body
• Compatibility across completely different species
This fails immediately when you consider biology.
Human → Cockroach?
A cockroach has ~1 million neurons.
A human has ~86 billion.
That’s like trying to run Windows 11 on a calculator.
Human → Ant?
Even fewer neurons.
Human → Amoeba?
One cell. No brain at all.
There is no biological hardware to support consciousness, memory, or identity in these organisms.
Scientifically, there is no workable mechanism for reincarnation.
3. The Scale Problem: Population numbers destroy the theory
If all living beings reincarnate, consider actual biological quantities:
• Humans: ~8 billion
• Ants: ~20,000,000,000,000,000 (20 quadrillion)
• Cockroaches: trillions
• Amoebae: effectively infinite numbers
Reincarnation must explain:
• Where all the extra souls come from
• Why a human soul would spend billions of lifetimes as microbes
• Why humans are an extreme minority of “soul slots”
• How “moral lessons” fit into microbial lifetimes
No reincarnation system explains this.
It’s mathematically unworkable.
4. The Identity Problem: What is actually reincarnating?
If a person loses:
• memory
• personality
• emotion
• preferences
• consciousness
• cognitive abilities
…then what is left to “reincarnate”?
If nothing that makes you you carries over, then reincarnation is just the birth of a new organism with no real connection to the old one.
Calling that “you” is meaningless.
Conclusion
Even if a creator designed the universe:
• there is no rational motivation for reincarnation,
• no biological or physical mechanism behind it,
• no numerical or population-level scalability,
• and no coherent identity that survives from one life to another.

Energy is never destroyed. It is converted from one form to another or transferred between systems. Some believe the energy each of us has as humans follows this same logic.

Anyone who read the Bible should know prayer "doesn't work" and has never worked for anybody. It's always just stories of God fucking up people's shit or giving them unreasonable advantages, usually just to make a point.

Just got my 2nd injection (Pfizer)
Delta Plus Variant will do a carnage.
Covid-19 is not a flu. A flu is always local and present for a short period of time.
Covid-19 is everywhere, no season, in each acre of this planet, resistant to every weather conditions.
If you got it without being really ill, side effects are really deleterious in the long term.
that's not related to the vaccine, simply statistics.
If you give a Hot Chocolate to million of people, some of them will die in the next days
covid death are under reported, how many countries are not able to count their population
how many countries are understimate their death to show their control, how many people die alone at home
it's not a flu, it's everywhere, in every acre of this planet, whatever the season and the geography
Happy Delta +

If we assume the universe has a creator or a creative intelligence behind its laws, reincarnation still doesn’t make sense — not philosophically, not scientifically, and not logically.
1. The Motivation Problem: Why would a creator design reincarnation?
People often say: “A tree is just the result of natural processes.”
Sure — but that assumes the natural processes themselves just exist.
Reincarnation is completely different. It requires the creator to intentionally design a system where souls jump between bodies.
What’s the purpose?
Common claim: “Souls reincarnate to learn lessons.”
But that falls apart:
• Why design a system where humans forget everything they supposedly learned?
• Why would someone reincarnate as an ant or cockroach — what lesson is learned there?
• Why is the system filled with randomness, trauma, and inequality?
• Why do different cultures invent totally contradictory rules for reincarnation?
A system without memory is not a learning system.
A purposeful creator would not design something so incoherent.
2. The Mechanism Problem: How would reincarnation actually work?
For reincarnation to be real, all of the following must exist:
• A soul independent of the brain
• A method for the soul to detach at death
• A method for it to enter another body
• Compatibility across completely different species
This fails immediately when you consider biology.
Human → Cockroach?
A cockroach has ~1 million neurons.
A human has ~86 billion.
That’s like trying to run Windows 11 on a calculator.
Human → Ant?
Even fewer neurons.
Human → Amoeba?
One cell. No brain at all.
There is no biological hardware to support consciousness, memory, or identity in these organisms.
Scientifically, there is no workable mechanism for reincarnation.
3. The Scale Problem: Population numbers destroy the theory
If all living beings reincarnate, consider actual biological quantities:
• Humans: ~8 billion
• Ants: ~20,000,000,000,000,000 (20 quadrillion)
• Cockroaches: trillions
• Amoebae: effectively infinite numbers
Reincarnation must explain:
• Where all the extra souls come from
• Why a human soul would spend billions of lifetimes as microbes
• Why humans are an extreme minority of “soul slots”
• How “moral lessons” fit into microbial lifetimes
No reincarnation system explains this.
It’s mathematically unworkable.
4. The Identity Problem: What is actually reincarnating?
If a person loses:
• memory
• personality
• emotion
• preferences
• consciousness
• cognitive abilities
…then what is left to “reincarnate”?
If nothing that makes you you carries over, then reincarnation is just the birth of a new organism with no real connection to the old one.
Calling that “you” is meaningless.
Conclusion
Even if a creator designed the universe:
• there is no rational motivation for reincarnation,
• no biological or physical mechanism behind it,
• no numerical or population-level scalability,
• and no coherent identity that survives from one life to another.
An immediate problem with this AI generated answer is assuming there is one creator responsible for creation. Many New Agers believe we are all Gods who created this Earth ourselves as a play ground or amusement park.

I think that part of what causes this all to lead go existential crisis is that we are born and get prepared to work towards something "meaningful" in life. You go to school, study, work, get loans pay off loans, supposedly to arrive at having it made but when you then finally do, the rug is pulled, you die, state takes it all or if you have children state takes a cut and children inherit what's left. Those children then already having arrived into an age where they realize the glass is 75% empty, and probably also have some crisis. Then a good 20 years down the line you are but a far distant memory, your house is probably demolished as well and your bones long gone. I feel this is not what we are sold that life would be. Maybe in other cultures it's different and people handle it differently

“French” is a danimal77 gimmick.
This moron has been humiliated so badly on this site.
Nope, just me, no gimmick... I don't even know who Danimal is...
that said, I'd rank you in the top 3 dumbest people on the forum, Royalty.

Energy is never destroyed. It is converted from one form to another or transferred between systems. Some believe the energy each of us has as humans follows this same logic.
Why is there energy in the first place? We take that for granted. Let's assume you start with nothing. How do you go from nothing to energy?

You can count yourself lucky to even get this far. I know a woman who's son died at age 4 of cancer. Hafthor's daughter was stillborn.
Just making it to the point where you can post on Getbig is winning the lottery. Think of all those sperm cells that never made it - lol!
-

But why has energy always existed? How can God always exist? People often say that God is a beginningless being. That’s a pretty wild concept to wrap your mind around.
I know your answer - it's above our pay grade. I asked my mom this and she said that's not for us to ask or understand - lmao!

Maybe it is above our pay grade to know about Gods eternal existence but we can understand first hand via our own direct experience that our essential being is a beginningless being through deep meditation. In Indian philosophy the term Satchitananda is used to describe the original condition of being; Sat means existence, Chit means consciousness and Ananda means Bliss, so our unborn undying nature is an eternal existence that is conscious of its own being and is perpetually in a state of bliss. Nothing outside created you.

Don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher, Basho, once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'

I admit I struggle with fear of death and existential questions. I try to think, "worry when you get there," like the stoics may have said but it's not easy.
Wonder what life would be like if we really were certain what will happen next? Sometimes I think I'd surely have killed myself a long time ago but otoh I might be piece of radiating bliss knowing there's nothing to worry about, all these little current personal problems will ultimately be solved.
I still haven't taken that nature walk on shrooms BigRo talked about but it's on the agenda. Buddy said they grow freely in certain areas but when is harvesting time? :D

Thanks buddy, I think he even mentioned it a couple months back how it was soon. I'll pester him, he has seemed uninterested in trips for a while. He seemed sure about knowing what they look like but I'll save the pic.

If you watch this you realise there is no fucking point doing anything, after all everything will eventually become nothing
A world just like ours could have existed a billion years ago and had similar even maybe identical advanced technology as ours and has long since died.

Everything already is nothing, nobody ever existed, your parents were never born and neither were you. It is all appearing on the surface of eternal Awareness.

A line in the Zen chants goes "form is emptiness, emptiness if form"
The different personalities appear and are sustained because of the conceptual mind creating them, all seeming separation is contained within a singular unity and this moment has never passed through time, our minds create time and space. I don't mean the individual mind creates all the stars etc but the sense of being apart from them.

But none of them can explain how you go from nothing to mass and energy. We are not all Gods. How did we create Earth ourselves? 100% of humans on Earth have no clue how to create all of this from scratch.

Reincarnation? I doubt it. I don’t remember living during the Roman Empire or any past era. All I remember is my own life — and only from around age three. If reincarnation means you come back with none of your previous memories or anything that made you “you,” then is that really reincarnation at all?

a family member of ours is a bit of a hippy with too much money
he did regression therapy
turns out he was a roman centurion . he played us a recording of it. people were spellbound.
until I pointed out that the roman centurion was speaking english with a liverpool accent. then it sort of fell apart. they never come back as a kid with polio do they- its always something heroic that they invent.
