For whenever that time comes for any of us, what do you think if there's any afterlife, hallucination or reincarnation?

[itsclearlynicholas]

Whether it's that space between, dreaming, hallucinating or a realm like a heaven or hell or paradise or a place like a reincarnation "the best of, the lights are on, yet nobody else is home, lol" technically. Thoughts? Whats in the afterlife lol if there is or just nothing. Nothing. Nothing... since we all die someday, I thought for laughs I'd ask perspectives on what's after, if anything, when I'm an old old man and it takes me by surprise or in my sleep like all of us natural causes eventually , I'm just asking what folks think, as death is as certain as oxygen we breathe or water for drink. Lol.

No afterlife

A hallucination

Nothing

A realm

A reincarnation (the lights are on, like empty Covid lockdown city streets) yet no one else home or few lol

The Nexus from Star Trek Generations? Hmm 🌌

DMT Models the Near-Death Experience

This is your brain on death: a comparative analysis of a near-death experience and subsequent 5-Methoxy-DMT experience

Potent psychedelic DMT mimics near-death experience in the brain

For these scientifically evaluated and peer-reviewed reasons, I chose "hallucination".

It makes sense and is in alignment with what we know of biological anatomy and physiological function that the body compensates for things like pain by releasing endorphins, and that during death, chemicals are released that cause hallucinations that are described similarly by many. These did not previously have a scientific basis and therefore mythology arose about ascending to heaven or the experiences otherwise being attributed to whatever mythology is/was present in the area (reincarnation, heaven, paradise, limbo, "a realm", &c.).

It's just the brain having a final moment of dissociation as it kicks off.

A cessation of existence most likely, and that's why death is such a common primal fear.

i think that our entire life experience (including the perception of self, which we call consciousness) only exists as a consequence of our mind interpreting what's happening. our mind does not exist without our functioning brain. death is pretty much defined as the end of the functioning brain and thus with it ends anything that we refer to as "experience" or "self".

We return to what we were before we were conceived.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Awareness though? 🧐

[normalice]

None. Complete nonexistence.

I think our essence is released and the energy reused in some fashion, but probably not as cohesive as reincarnation.

[itsclearlynicholas]

A permanent afterlife or ghost-like living! Lol we see yet no one else sees "that realm or realms" 😛😈😀😁😆 while living in reality where time carries on, and yet in the "other realms" it does also in its own Covid frozen way? Lights are on, nobody's home aka cities 🏙️🌆 empty I am legend clean cities?

[itsclearlynicholas]

Like omega man without the dirty cities and mutants? Lol 😆

[KrakenAttackin]

More of our energy is released and reused by the universe, perhaps as a puff of wind or new blades of grass.

[itsclearlynicholas]

That makes sense or a bolt of lightning lol how evil zap zap ⚡🌩️ ouch 🤕

Nothing. Rides over. Exit to your right. Hope you enjoyed your stay on Earth.

Heaven or hell awaits you depending on if you're covered by the blood of Christ or not it's that simple.

Maybe Sto-Vo-Kor, not sure though.
