How does your mind deal with the concept of “nothing.” Since we don’t believe in an after life, it’s hard to imagine dying and not existing...
I do ponder on the thought that my energy would be reused and I’d come back as something else, but I’m kinda done with this planet, so that’s not comforting, lol.
I've experienced deja vu. A very strange sensation for sure. That feeling of " I've been here and have seen this before!" So I relate this to the possibility of reincarnation. Space and time are relative to each other (space/time ) and can be warped and distorted by matter and dark matter, energy and dark energy. So time ticks at a different rate depending on these properties. GPS satellites are calibrated to compensate for this because time ticks at different rate from the earth surface compared to the orbit of the satellite. Whew! Hope I got that right!.....so with that being said I suspect that everything that has happened or will happen,exist somewhere in the infinite vastness of space/time. So when I experienced deja vu it may be some kind of glitch or fold of space time that I for some unknown reason can momentarily perceive. P.s an alien once told me "to travel in time is to travel in space!" Forward or backward. He! He! He!.
Curiously enough I have thought about this from a political perspective as well. I mean the research that goes on to live indefinitely, no doubt to be used by the world's elite exclusively, to extend their power and control. Does anyone doubt that they would if the could? Death would go beyond being a physiological and philosophical issue and become a class issue. Sounds like pure science fiction, right? Yet the stuff that goes on in some research labs might appal us. One day, if the rich have their way, death might no longer be the universal leveller.
well, what was it like for the trillions of years before you were born? it's the dying part I'm not keen on. you won't care about being dead because you will be dead.
We are stardust...that's a fact and we will return to stardust.
Maybe you should not think about dying, and think about living. If you think about living whilst living, and leave thinking about dying for when you die then it's really easy.
