What's your ideal afterlife scenario


André Toulon

Recommended Posts

Disregard your belief system for the time being......When you rattle one last time and poo yourself, what do you want to happen after that.  I'm not exactly a fan of the whole heaven thing.  I mean it's said to be paradise, but I'm thinking white Christian god may look down on the things I consider paradise, so how can it be paradise for me.

 

I really hope I just get a reboot at life.....Like my "soul" gets shuffled into some unborn child and I get to do this all over again.......Granted I hope I don't wind up in one of those counties that's all sand and bullets, but even if it is, I still think that would be better than sitting on a cloud being saintly and shit.

 

Being able to haunt someone would be awesome as well.....Maybe it sucks to exist on some plane between life and death, but I'm thinking more like the Beetlejuice kind of ghost......Not the shitty Patrick Swayze ghost bullshit.

 

I guess the proverbial "hell" would be the absolute worst.....I mean I can't stand being hot here on earth.......Burning forever has to suck, but I feel that's also completely unlikely.

 

I'm also cool with it just being over....Like all consciousness gone, nothing going on......Just complete null.

Nothing. Just throw me in the trash.

 

Seriously though, I will have money in escrow to hire someone to spin a crank on my coffin at my funeral..... to an endless loop of pop goes the weasel....... I won't be there to see their faces, but man the suspense would be terrible.

Nice Danny DeVito quote.

I want to be reincarnated in a similar construct as the one I am in now. Male body, modern western world, anime, 2-D sex, etc. Only this time no mental illness or any other physical problems. Fear of the unknown is a human pain we all have to live with and a healthy one- so is the Ecstasy of combat, its like that scene in Trigun (I forget which one) Vash is talking to either Legato or that other samurai dude and there is this really vague cryptic message like... well its like this.. you feel high almost off existence even though its filled with fear and doubt- but not excessive pain like cancer or mental illness or anything like that. Enlightenment itself is apathy so this contradicts the above and is also a problem of existence.  I'd like to live about 120 years healthy in a good physical body with no old age. There is no point in living too long cause you will get bored or go insane.. like I might be cool coming back as a vampire or something that lives for like 500 years and roams the earth- longevity could prove pointless though.

 

Anyways I don't think there is any God, I don't think there is any afterlife or anything, life on earth (or if you are enlightened and you don't believe in the concept of earth only "the void") then you still accept a soulless existence. Even Buddhists don't believe in a soul. Some Buddhists don't even believe in re-incarnation (technically none of them do once you understand the religion).

 

So since we are all going to nothing anyways this whole conversation is pointless.

Suspend my personal beliefs? Okay. Then I'll go the reincarnation route. I would like to be a house cat for a caring family. Just sleep, play, eat, poop, and be pet or held when I want it. Then after that, maybe an eagle or similar bird of prey. Cuz flying. I'd be into that.

im hoping my brain and consciousness gets downloaded into a robot or something.

round 2 will be me going the sigma route from mega man x.

 

I hadn't considered this.....I would want to be like Grey Fox or something, but with my luck I'd wind up Robocop......Or worse, Dr. Wheelo

Essentially a holodeck. Preprogrammed with the entire history (using the word loosely) of the universe. The whole universe, not just Earth. Mostly, We would just want to observe, but it would also be nice to have the occasional conversation with some of the more notable personalities of the past. And indeed, some of the less notable, as well. We suppose We would also like to see how the immediate future unfolds, and what scant few impacts we left.

I know it's one big Jebus allegory, so maybe it's cheating the topic constraints a bit, but I've always loved the version of heaven presented at the end of The Chronicles of Narnia.  A place where every decent person who ever lived is there with you, where you can revisit all of the places you ever loved, where everything feels far more "real" than it ever did in life.  I could handle that.

Ideal?  Getting assigned as a minor deity to guide those still in the mortal coil.  There's 300+ million people I wish to slap into shape, at a minimum, and quite possibly several times more than that.  As long as I have powers to enforce the commandments I bestow upon humanity {LOOKING AT YOU, CHRISTIAN GOD} then everything will be awesome. :3

this is a really good question, I've never heard it phrased that way.

usually it's just "what do you think happens when you die"

 

my ideal Heaven is Heaven <3 sitting at the right hand of God!

and I say this genuinely, because Jesus is the biggest part of my life <3

so for me, that really IS Heaven, not just what I THINK will happen when I die, but rather what I WANT to happen <3

 

I like what you said though, about your soul being recycled into another body.

 

I used to have this belief that our souls had to mature to a certain point to finally move on,

and everyone was on a different level.

like evolving, in a way, if that makes sense.

 

for instance, Buddha or Gandhi were probably on their LAST lives here on earth

i'm not sure but i'm certain being a spirit in some form would follow simply for the sake of perception ...ghosts and hauntings are a thing after all ...what comes after? Is being an unbound spirit some form of penance? what would follow? angels and fluffy clouds and the chance to ask God or Gods the chance questions we struggle with when we are alive? will I be given a chance to do it all again in a life I just lived or will I be allowed to choose for myself where I go and what I do?

 

...maybe there is nothing....maybe there is something....as much as I think and talk about how i'd like to leave this Earth I never real grasp at the idea that we all have a limited time on this planet...I tend to look at things the way Rick does....
