Who here /terrifiedofdeath/?

It's objectively the spookiest thing. Non existence, we can't even comprehend such a thing. A dreamless sleep, for all eternity. I hate my mortality

I definitely don't fear it. I almost crave the act of suicide because it literally makes all of one's problems go away immediately.

Death feels the same as you felt before you were born: absolute nothingness. No fear. No loss. No regret. Nothing at all. That's why it's so great.

But then again, it's probably a good sign that you fear death. It implies that you value what you have in life.

That's the great thing about death your dead how can you fear something when everything stops being an issue

Kind of.

I am a Christcuck, so in general, I am not afraid of death.

I am afraid of dying in mortal sin, though. I am also afraid that I will not hear Jesus, my truest love in the universe, say to me, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

>have gotten to the point where i am not phased of dying because of shit life situation the past 6 months
>think about an heroing every night
>somehow still here
>not scared of death like i was once
>not scared of going through pain or living my last moments in agony/terror
>only afraid of knowing that ive squandered my whole life up until this point and i wont ever get it back

i should probably stop drinking every night even though ive found a kickass whiskey that isnt very expensive

That point that some people make, "it's just like the time before you were born" it makes no sense to me. Before I existed, I had no sense of existence so comparing it to the current moment isn't relative. I've seen the sun set and rise, I've enjoyed all of the earthly pleasures. To have that taken away from me is terrifying

I see dreams all the time where moon/asteroid hits earth and everything is wiped out.

Im scared shitless as the moon's pale face lingers closer and closer, but what is more scarier is the fucking euphoria of relief when i know i can let go. Its all over, i dont have to care about anything anymore.

You know it makes me happy that people like you still have faith I don't mean that ironically or in some negative way it's just nice to know that some people are still not so jaded and disillusioned or full of spiritual doubt that it stops them from having faith good on you user leaf

Not really. It's inevitable, happens to everyone. There's literally nothing you can do about it so why worry?

Similar situation here. What's the whiskey?

Its pretty scary if you believe theres something after death. Like that white room Squidward was in when he was all alone

>euphoria

The fact is that when you are killed, all of your sense perceptions go away. It's not like you recognize your feelings and senses disappearing...it's that there is a sudden and insensible extermination of all sense perception. You cease to have any attachment to the physical world.

It's hard to imagine because from a living standpoint, we're overwhelmed with stimuli. But once our brains become incapable of responding to stimuli, all stimuli becomes non-existent. And we are nothing but a response to stimuli.

...

No but I have a fear of growing old

That's a good place if he needed a tarot reading or a world is flat thread or proof that cancer has taken a digital form

>Non existence, we can't even comprehend such a thing. A dreamless sleep, for all eternity.
That's the least scary thing ever.

Nothingness is way better than eternal torment. And let's face it, if you're a 4channer and Hell is real, that's where you're heading.

Who cares?
If dying means it doesn't matter
then why waste time worrying about dying?
You can't stop it
nobody can
stop being one of the millions of suckers who waste their money trying to avoid it

I'm catholic, I'm not afraid.

The gods envied us because we were mortal.

it's kind of like the buddhist concept of ascending or detachment.

Death is awesome. The greatest kings that have ever lived, the richest most important people in history, all die and rot in the ground like a common peasant. Its a reminder to not take this life too seriously, we're all headed there.

I'm slowly dying OP, I probably have cancer or some shit but I don't want to freak my family out.

It's okay though... I guess everyone has to go sometime.. They say you just lose consciousness... Dreaming forever isn't so bad

This used to scare me as well

But now I think of how I felt before being born. If I could handle an eternity then, I can handle it when I die

I find the idea oddly comforting. To know that no matter how bad it gets, at the end of the road there is the certainty of my entire being swallowed back into the ether of nonexistence. The triviality and anxieties of daily living disappear as I fade back into the fabric of the universe and the cosmic consciousness.

There are worse fates, user.

pic related - its mfw I think about death

You came from nothing, and you'll go back to nothing? What have you lost? Nothing!

but before you were born, you had no sense of enjoying your existence. everything you hold dear, every pleasure, every sight, smell, feeling. it will be gone forever. that sucks, objectively

Watched invasion of the body snatchers recently, that shit scares me way more than death.

>die
>1billionyears pass
>its not even a trillionth of a fraction of how long is left

feelsgoodman

that's a great point! having myself taken over or replaced is way way scarier than death

Yeah, that's a tough one. Most people don't dwell on it all day. My advise: stay busy. You will have plenty of time to think about death when you are dead. Gnome Saiyan? Hope you find some shit to keep you busy. Porn is good. Jump over to other areas man. MGTOW

>Non existence, we can't even comprehend such a thing.

Yes you can.

Just think back to 20 years before you were born. That's exactly the same as 20 years after you die.

> Non existence

Actually you can experience this with meditation or LSD/shrooms. I have reached this point two times. At first when young, just thinking about existence for hours. It was like a gaping cold void and ruined me for years after.

Second time on shrooms and pot, like being torn apart into filaments and the filaments were part of everything, kept unraveling myself until there was nothing but everything. The warmest and most pleasant nonexistence you can imagine. Just returning to the fabric of existence.

There is a book written about how once you reach a certain age presumably your late 60's or 70's you will start to have an other worldly feeling for death and your fear of it will be gone. It's feeling as if your time in this life is up and it is now to continue on with what death has in store for you.

God is nothing O.o

Has it really deteriorated that much?

I like this account, Swede. What preparation and dosage would you recommend to achieve this level of insight?

Being young is about living life, being old is all about wanting to be remembered.

Why are you projecting your fear onto the entire human race? It's not "objectively the spookiest thing". Death is just as much a part of your existence as birth, and everyone dies, and nobody knows what happens after you die, because you'd be dead. That's all. Either you earn the sweet rest of non existence or it turns out we're all gods and we're just doing an experiment the whole time. Who knows

LSD told me humanity is just the same group of conscious humans experiencing the same life over and over and over again throughout time. For example there was the >tfw no gf guy in all ancient civilizations. Technology advances but humanity stays the same,

Maker's mark. Like 25 for a fifth. Smoother than other cheap whiskeys but I'm sure to an expert they'll think it's cheap

Thanks. I appreciate that. It hasn't always been easy for me. I was brought up Baptist but lost my faith at a pretty young age due to family problems, divorce, etc.

I dabbled in Buddhism and other Eastern religions as a teenager. But mainly I saw myself as atheist or agnostic. I even dated a LaVeyan Satanist for a couple years, too.

In my early 20s, I started thinking about Christ again, though. I was pretty happy, graduating with my girlfriend of 3 years (an atheist.) We were talking about getting engaged and moving to start a new life together. But I didn't feel satisfied. I was almost depress or anxious or something. I also didn't like who I was becoming - not that I was "bad", but I was becoming shallow, colder, selfish. I wanted faith again, but I didn't know where to get it, or if I even could. I started sneaking to different churches behind my girlfriend's back. Started investigating Christianity more, including all the different denominations and their theologies. I went to Mass with an old high school friend who was Catholic. The beauty of the Mass floored me and I started investigating the Church more. I remember being terrified at first, because I was brought up Baptist and had heard that Catholicism was the "whore of Babylon" and pagan and other things. But the more I read, and prayed, and studied, the more drawn in I felt.

Anyway, long story short, at around age 24 I finally pulled the trigger and got baptized into the Church. I lost the girlfriend, and even a lot of friends. Finding Christ, in a way, kind of "ruined my life." But I never felt that way. It wasn't always sunshine and puppies and it still isn't. But to me it is worth it. I don't know if my life would have meaning without Jesus.

Sorry for the blog post. I just really appreciated your comment.

my god thinks my jokes are funny

What's even more scary is if life keeps going.

Just think your end comes with the heat death of the universe. Our bodies are doing us a favor by shutting down in a few decades.

>What preparation and dosage would you recommend to achieve this level of insight?

It's bodyweight dependent and I bought truffles in amsterdam. It's effectively the same as shrooms, but they're a lot heavier and sold with water weight, not dry.

I used a full packet of the strongest they had on offer, I'm not sure what that would translate into for grams of shrooms (shrooms also vary in strength depending on strain).

Basically what I'd read my way to is that your first trip is likely the most meaningful and the rest are diminishing returns. Don't pussy out, but make sure it'll be a good one. For me that meant some edible pot (not too much, but edible so it'd be with the duration of the trip).

It wasn't all sunshine and there were some very uncomfortable introspection but I always felt like I could let it go and just go back to the sense of joy.

Well there's nothing really trippy about that. We've created technology far faster than we can evolve to cope with it. We co-exist with hunter gatherers who believe in tree spirits. Leave one of our kids in their hands and they'll think technology is magic too.

Ah, yeah. Whenever I get a whiskey it tends to be Bird Dog. I stopped on the whiskey a while ago, my worst nights were on it. Fight I don't remember with my last gf, falling and chipping a couple of teeth, etc. Might try it on my next binge, thanks.

If human civilization lasts long enough, I feel bad for the people that die as a result of the sun exploding.

Take the Christpill user

Your soul is immortal user, this life is an illusion, a shadow of what lies beyond. I know it's a stretch, but the bible is true, study the ancient prophecies that predicted Christ's life to the letter centuries before He ever lived. Get right with God, and He'll help you make you make things right.

I just drink when I'm about to go to bed and winding down. Good thing you still have a gf.

Next whiskey I'll try is the Sam Houston one since I'm from texas

Doesn't bother me at all, probably because I wasn't raised with religion and I understood what dying was when I was like 4 and we had to put our first dog down.

Everyone else I've ever talked to in my entire life was raised with religion at least as a little kid so had to have a moment when they realize "oh, maybe I won't be going to heaven, damn."

It isn't real man, although I wish I could fool myself into it

Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not.

-Epicurus

god damn. disillusionment man... so terrifying and beautiful to me.

Well, you die every night. You won't miss yourself. Cato put it well: "Where I am, death is not. Where death is, I am not".

Yeah it takes getting used to and there's still resistance in me though logically there shouldn't be. When I /try/ to accept it, my mind twists and turns and insists that there's got to be some kind of reincarnation or something. It's certainly easy to see how the idea of reincarnation got started - you can't imagine yourself not existing, seriously, even with logic and aids to thought.

I'm afraid in the sense that if I die before I get to do anything great with my life I'll have no way to validate myself. That's the hardest part about giving up religion.
If I die immediately then I'll have no time to roominate on that and if I do I'll never get to know if I would have succeeded in doing great things.
Really all I'm scared of is living a shitty life. Death saves me from finding out what timeline I'm in which is essentially neutral.

You don't have to follow a religion to believe in a creator or an eternal soul..
