What's your idea of Heaven or Afterlife?

Just some late night thoughts.

Mine?

Idk about heaven, but being one of those invisible spirits that bring little helpful, joyful, meaningful moments to those alive.
Waaah…Life is soup, I am fork 😢

What you pussies sound like talking about reincarnation and the afterlife all the time

What you pussies sound like talking about reincarnation and the afterlife all the time
Lol go to sleep then 😛
I didn't believe in an afterlife till I had a firsthand experience with ghosts, believe me or not

I think OP is right that we try to protect our descendants and loved ones. I think Hinduism/Buddhism details the process pretty accurately, but I don't know what nirvana consists of. I wish it was like Elysium and full of horny and tempestuous greek gods

what I don't think is that it's "whatever you want it to be". have debated w christians who believe if they accept christ as their savior they die and all their Christmas wishes come true. we likely won't possess animal senses to enjoy the earthly delights we're familiar with. from what I heard at church heaven is praising the lord ad infinitum, & no one can even stand to do that an hr a week
It's joy. It feels like joy and peace. Euphoric state. Think of the happiest moment of your life where you all smiles..nothing else matters or even existed. Likely when you were a child and troubles and drama of life didn't even exist. Just that peace and joy.

It was just for a few seconds. But I remember. I was a fool to come back.
Nothing and nobody bothering me.


I have a cozy little house with a chimney and a small garden, nestled between tall mountains and the ocean. The weather is always gentle but I have the option to control the weather based on my mood. This island is a shelter for some animals and plants.

Each morning, I rise early and set out to fish, drifting in my boat as I wait for the sun to rise. The cool breeze carries the scent of salt and waves lull me back to sleep for a bit. When I return, I spend some time tending to my garden, before finally cooking the fresh fish I caught. After I eat, I prepare myself to hike one of the mountains where I can find hidden falls and beaches. On my way up, I find my spirit guide which is a wolf, its been my earth guide via dreams. The wolf accompanies me for awhile before it disappears again. I see my favorite flower, cosmos, scattered across fields and forests on my way to these secluded areas. Once I reach either beach or waterfalls, I take a dive. The water then shows me earth memories from different life times. I come back up and sit on the soft earth. I watch the sunset before heading down. It's pitch black but the stars across the sky dances and twinkles lighting my path and my spirit guide accompanies me all the way back home. I go back to my boat to enjoy the soothing breeze and the sound of gentle waves crashing against my boat. The water lights up with fluorescent sea creatures. I go back to my home, make myself tea before bed. I go to bed feeling fulfilled. I'm happy.
Protecting and guiding my loved ones on earth, letting them know i will always be there and love them

I’ve been given many signs by my ancestors and hope to do the same for my family and friends

Gone but still there ❤️🙏✨

I think I will zap back into being a baby again into a new life

This is exactly what I believe it will be like. But apparently your work isn't done here yet on this mortal plane. Apparently there's more for you to learn before you can ascend. Everyday I'm learning new shit, so I don't have to keep repeating the same mistakes again and again.

More of that innocence being kept? I would imagine having that carefree energy and not worrying about reality hitting so hard.

Would you still be alright enjoying these moments on your own though?

In this life, I wish I can afford and have the choice to safely move into a remote place that closely resembles what I described. I'm most content, happy and in peace when I spend countless hours hiking or sitting somewhere surrounded by trees or close to water. I'll never get tired of what keeps my psyche aligned.
Humans have been on earth 300,000 years. The Roman empire was 2000 years ago. WW2 was 86 years ago. Yet the earth is 4.543 billion years old. It's kind of crazy we get to exist, or even have consciousness in the first place. I personally believe in a more spiritual vs religious viewpoint, but the reality of existence as a whole is truly unfathomable.

Something about untouched nature just soothes the soul. I can't be away from water for too long, it messes with my psyche.

True, very true. Especially with how ridiculous our kind has and continues to attempt eradicating certain races and ethnicity.

Do you believe once AI is self sufficient that it will just annihilate humanity?

No. I actually believe the complete opposite. I feel AI is the next evolution of humanity. I don't believe it will be self sufficient, at least not any time soon. I believe AI will be an entity that stands beside humans to help us progress forward. Things are going to get strange, that's for sure. People will lose jobs, and be forced to adapt an adjust. At the same time in the early 1900s when machinery started to take over, it also took jobs and forced people to adapt. Yet the population still continued to increase, so new advanced technology is always scary at first, but actually makes humanity advance even further into the future. I think that AI is the most advanced and amazing technology humanity has every created.

Awww that's a very optimistic view on it and I hope that does come true. I've seen too much sci-fi horror and hope we can avoid such predicaments, but never know.

Do you think AI will advance so far from us that it might prefer to create beings similar to itself and just leave us high and dry?

If that's the case the cats and dogs could progress past us, and take over/ move on. Which actually isn't too far off on a natural level. We all tend to speak to our cats and dogs in a different tone and voice then we speak to each other. We find them so adorable we even spoil them, so who is truly in control at that point? At the same time we domesticated them to be our friend. I feel AI is similar. Assuming they become sentient in the future, there will be some bad ones, but way more good ones. I don't think a sentient AI will ever be one entity. It will be millions. Some good, some bad. Similar to humans, dogs, and cats.

Just some late night thoughts.
Mine?
Idk about heaven, but being one of those invisible spirits that bring little helpful, joyful, meaningful moments to those alive.
My idea of heaven is contentment; joy, pleasure, peace, satisfaction, etc. We would feel 100% content and there would be no suffering whatsoever. As opposed to hell where everything there is suffering; grief, pain, regret, fear, etc.

Whereas here on earth is all those things intermingled with each other.

Now can I also throw in some follow-up question that just spark in my mind right now based off your question:

1. According to your answer, does it mean that here on earth do not bring enough favour, joy, and meaning, because you place those three in the concept of heaven which means not applied here on earth?

2. From my answer, if you agree, what makes us deserve those; joy, fulfillment, pleasure, peace, and satisfaction?

Let's discuss it now that you make me in the mood? 😁

Not a religious person but I recently had to say goodbye to my soul mate dog who was my heart outside of my body, and I wish an afterlife would entail me meeting her again. I miss her so much and cry daily over the loss of my little love 🐾 I would do anything to see her happy little face and waggy tail again. RIP my sweet baby moose
I don't believe in afterlife, I believe in reincarnation. Well, maybe there is some place where souls go in between two lives. Like they went through something horrible in this life and they need to recover and prepare before they go for the next one. That I can believe. Like some cleansing place where they remove all the difficulties they faced in life before they are ready to enter the next one fully freed from the memory of the terrors they faced. So if I'd describe that place as I imagine it, it would be some sort of hige garden, very blissful and always warm and sunny. They go there to relax and recalibrate. From there they have a possibility to watch their loved ones on Earth. Sometimes, some souls get so strong that they even manage to communicate with their loved ones when they are in danger to warn them or simply to comfort them while they are still mourning them. I feel that some souls stay there for very short time and those are the ones who had pretty basic lives and have something greater waiting for them in next life. That's why those souls rarely come to anyone after they died - cause they simply moved on already and don't have anything holding them tied to this life and people they left in it
Apparently animals can talk in the afterlife so I will spend my time trying to get them to talk to me. 😺🙀😹🐈🐈🐈

It's joy. It feels like joy and peace. Euphoric state. Think of the happiest moment of your life where you all smiles..nothing else matters or even existed. Likely when you were a child and troubles and drama of life didn't even exist. Just that peace and joy.
It was just for a few seconds. But I remember. I was a fool to come back.

Im confused, what are you referring to?

Carefree energy and not worrying about reality?

This is life after death discussion. It's a different state of existance. There is no me or my own. That's what dragged me back down, those thoughts of identity. I felt myself dissolve and panicked.

Here on this plan of existance..carefree no I don't have that. I have a constant wieght on my shoulders. I learned to ignore the pressure of it and just get the things I need done. Things are not ideal for me at all. Quite the opposite. Loosing my shit or depression or any other dumb responses willn't solve the problems.

This is what Im doing, this is what I need to do...of something changed?...ok roll with it..change of plans....do this instead, get it done.

That's it. There are secondary things outside of my own life that pop up Im draw to too.

would I rather be alone, absolutely not, I'd like my partner, my whirlwind to laugh and play with while doing these things in life. Not many like me though.

i'd want to come back as a ghost and haunt my loved ones

my teacher once said that sometime she saw how the pictures in her house would be misplaced or slightly slanted, and she could still feel the presence of her parents even though they were dead

what I don't think is that it's "whatever you want it to be". have debated w christians who believe if they accept christ as their savior they die and all their Christmas wishes come true. we likely won't possess animal senses to enjoy the earthly delights we're familiar with. from what I heard at church heaven is praising the lord ad infinitum, & no one can even stand to do that an hr a week

the first time when I switched from atheist to afterlife believer was when I heard an event replay in the other room, someone in despair and ill, then heard the doors slamming. as audibly as anything. I was alone in my friend's ancient house (all the houses downtown are a century old, including this haunted place where I live now)

yeah, all of my events hearing spirits, sometimes catching a glimpse of something but especially hearing things thrown, feet pounding, knocking, doors has been downtown here in these old ass houses. but when I tell people they accuse me of schizophrenia. one very vivid demonic experience from here 3 years ago was from abusing hoodoo and coke psychosis (I admitted that part to my psychiatrist- I'm not schizo, its petty assholes who like to gossip and say I am when I said I heard paranormal activity)

during that more demonic activity time, my pisces ex heard it through a voice recording I sent him through IG at my house. that was validating. it also followed me to his place at the time. that might've been the last time I was there shit

I don't like to share this stuff openly since the schizo accusation is painful but I'm assuming those in this thread will be more openminded and compassionate



I really hope there is nothing after this life. Zero. No reincarnation or existence in another world. The only time I would consider some kind of afterlife is if it’s one where there is no physical pain whatsoever. As you get older and doctor check-ups begin, everything involves pain but you’re fortunate if pain starts well into the adulthood. Imagine being a child who has cancer or some other sickness and being poked and prodded.

I went for dental cleaning today and scaling hurts like hell! I get it done every 6 months. Before that, I went to an ENT specialist who inserted a pipe up my nose to check for polyps and that was very uncomfortable. Get my drift.
