After Death

[Odin]

once you die, you rot in the ground forever and thats the end of your life, so you better enjoy it now, live it to the fullest.

Final words of advice:

Get money. You'll lose money chasing women, but you never lose women chasing money. So get on that paper chase and live life to the ballest ^_^

 

[MC]

Spending your life chasing women and making money is not a full life, but rather an empty one.

 

[Tenzo]

It seems that for some people this is enough!

 

[VideoJinx]

Again, what does this have to do with the topic?!

sleep paralysis is not related to this?

It hints to more then what we currently experience in this life.. imo

hence you can raise your expectation for the after life.. imo..


lawl and chasing money and girls isn't the life of my dreams ._. Ide rather go with something that gives to society and changes it for the better

it's purely hallucination.
electrodes being misfired in your head and your subconscious trying to make sense of it.

it's a illness.

i doubt it..

I had a similar experience.. when i was a super young kiddy..



except I may or may not have been dreaming..

from what i remember is that something was coming after me, and i did hear things but im not sure what cuz i dont remember....

but i couldn't open my eyes or my mouth.. i could literally feel my eyes not being able to open.

ofc during the whole thing i was scared ****less and i couldn't open my eyes to get the dream or w/e it was to end( I COULDNT WAKE UP )..

it happened to me more then once.. but never since then..

the way i conquered that experience, was to .. believe it or not.. was to hum the barney song "i love u, u love me etc etc"..as soon as i started humming it.. the entire experience ended and it was as if i woke from a dream, but something more then a dream...

This is known as "sleep paralysis":

What is sleep paralysis?

Sleep paralysis consists of a period of inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset (called hypnogogic or predormital form) or upon awakening (called hypnopompic or postdormtal form).

Sleep paralysis may also be referred to as isolated sleep paralysis, familial sleep paralysis, hynogogic or hypnopompic paralysis, predormital or postdormital paralysis

What are the symptoms?

• A complaint of inability to move the trunk or limbs at sleep onset or upon awakening
• Presence of brief episodes of partial or complete skeletal muscle paralysis
• Episodes can be associated with hypnagogic hallucinations or dream-like mentation (act or use of the brain)

This is known as "lucid dreaming":

A lucid dream is a dream in which the person is aware that he or she is dreaming while the dream is in progress, also known as a conscious dream. When the dreamer is lucid, he or she can actively participate in the dream environment without any of the inhibitions or limitations that otherwise would feel natural to persons who incorrectly believe they are in the "real" waking world. Lucid dreams can be extremely real and vivid depending on a person's level of self-awareness during the lucid dream.

Yup.. those r the definitions for the terms.. but it Feels like more then that..

I dreamed that i used my hands to open my eyelids, but even then everything was tooo blurry to see..

Spending your life chasing women and making money is not a full life, but rather an empty one.

You obviously didn't understand my post. My advice was "Get Money", because women come and go,and once you get money, you'll have too many women to count. Theres never such a thing as too many women in my book, and i like all kinds of different women, so when I get rich I'm gonna have my hands full making sure I get a taste of every kind And there are TONS of things I wanna do before I die. Therefore I don't worry about what happens when I die, because I'm gonna make sure that I make this life worth while, and do everything there is to do. ^_^


Maybe you think it's an empty life but it's an easy life, and thats something I want. I don't wanna work 40 hours a week at a job just to bring home some mediocre check that covers rent,insurance,car payments,food, ect. and barely leaves me enough to have fun. So if having tons of money, good food, nice houses/cars and women is an empty life, then I plan on having the emptiest life in the world.


I hate it when people say "money doesn't buy happiness", it's like. "Do you live in America?", because it buys a Wave Runner....Have you ever seen a sad person on a Wave Runner?
lol i love Daniel Tosh

 

[MC]

You obviously didn't understand my post.

What's there to understand about "getting money" and "chasing women"?

My advice was "Get Money", because women come and go,and once you get money, you'll have too many women to count

Or so you think.

Theres never such a thing as too many women in my book, and i like all kinds of different women, so when I get rich I'm gonna have my hands full making sure I get a taste of every kind

So, women to you are nothing more than entries on a dinner menu?

And there are TONS of things I wanna do before I die. Therefore I don't worry about what happens when I die, because I'm gonna make sure that I make this life worth while, and do everything there is to do. ^_^

What would be the point of making your life worth while if you're the only one that will know of it?

Maybe you think it's an empty life but it's an easy life, and thats something I want.

Life is neither easy nor hard. If you're unable to understand that, then you have yet to live one yet.

I don't wanna work 40 hours a week at a job just to bring home some mediocre check that covers rent,insurance,car payments,food, ect. and barely leaves me enough to have fun.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you have to start somewhere. So get on the grill and start flipping hamburgers like the rest of us.

So if having tons of money, good food, nice houses/cars and women is an empty life, then I plan on having the emptiest life in the world.

Good for you.

I hate it when people say "money doesn't buy happiness", it's like.

Money can bring happiness, but the happiness it brings is only temporary.

"Do you live in America?"

No, I live in North America which is also known as the United States.

 

[Odin]

Ok, first of all, you still don't get what the final advice was about. So let me put it in bold

Get money. You'll lose money chasing women, but you never lose women chasing money. So get on that paper chase and live life to the ballest ^_^

So you see, you only chase 1 thing. Which is money, women will come once you get the money. Thats a fact, maybe not every woman, but pretty women are attracted to pretty things. So if you go to a club with a nice car, straight to VIP, and let it be known that you have money, the women in the club will surely flock to you.

So, women to you are nothing more than entries on a dinner menu?

Yup, they are. And eventually I'll get full of all the different entries and settle down with some nice dessert

What would be the point of making your life worth while if you're the only one that will know of it?

Uhhh, last time I checked this was MY life, and I'm living it for me and no one else. So the point of making my life worth while, while I'm the only one who knows it is simple. I'm doing it to enjoy MYSELF, not for someone else to enjoy. Surely though, because I'm a nice guy and ill be able to blow money like that, ill invite my close friends and family to spend time with me and do some of the things

Life is neither easy nor hard. If you're unable to understand that, then you have yet to live one yet.

Obviously there are things that are hard in peoples lives, it happens to everyone. I'm not saying my life wont have challenges. I'm just saying when you're rich, the problems you face on a day basis are less hard to handle than say someone who's living paycheck to paycheck.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you have to start somewhere. So get on the grill and start flipping hamburgers like the rest of us.

Oh, trust me. You didn't disappoint. I said "When I get rich" Which means that I fully understand that I'm not rich now, but have plans in my future to move up and make money quickly. And thats why I refer to the future for my spending riches and not the present.

And...I'm tired of quoting so I'm just gonna respond to every part

Money buys happiness if its in the hands of right person. For me, it would buy me a lifetime of happiness if I constantly had money, because I would just spend all my time having fun, then doing everything I've ever wanted to do, then traveling, then after I've done pretty much everything worth doing when you're rich, I'd go and find fun ways to spend it. For me personally money would buy permanent happiness.

Uhh, North America also includes Canada, so saying "I don't live in America, I live in North America aka the U.S" Is ridiculous, because anyone knows that The U.S is the only country that has America in its name. So it would've been obvious to anyone with a Geographical sense that whenever someone refers to America, that they are referring to the US. Unfortunately for you, trying to sound like a smart ***, North America has two countries in it. Therefore using it as a reference as to where you live wouldn't be as productive as just saying America. Which has less words in it anyways, so would've been easier to type. So you, fail

Anyways thats just my view on life, if you don't agree with it. Fine, Don't. I'm done going off subject, and trying to defend it when you're constantly trying to put it down. If you like to spend your life praying and worshiping an entity, fine. I'll spend mine making money and maybe you'll see me on TV some day ok?

*edit* I thought the A word was filtered lol

This thread has nothing to do with how we live our lives, it's about our feelings of whether or not there is a life after death. There is absolutely no point in arguing over morals, ethics, or values in this thread.

Materialistic People Have Low Self-Esteem.
November 14, 2007 by Abdul Kargbo

Eureka! As kids’ self-consciousness and insecurity increases, they become more interested in acquiring material things to help them feel better about themselves.

Is it true ?

EDIT!~~ I think materialism is "another" obstacle people face before the after life.. just IMO~~

 

[Odin]

It may be for some people but definitely not all. I just want to have money because I've always come from a lower class family, therefore I have ambition and drive to improve my life.
Look at a lot of the poor black community living in the ghetto. They want nice things such as cars, houses and money. But its not because they have low self esteem. It's because they've only known the poor life and want to live easy like they see so many other people do.
So imo maybe some people get materialistic but deff not all

*edit* Whoa, srry sonic. I didnt see your post, I'll refrain from posting on those subjects and stay on topic

 

[StealthSudaka]

No, I live in North America which is also known as the United States.

Just had to point that out.. thumbs up.

Odin what you claim to be an easy life is no more than a superficial claim to consider money supreme and something that will magically appear in your bank account. TV game shows anyone?

I dont want to critizice your lack of faith in anything associated with spirituality.. just want to point out that there is much more to life than meets the eye.. dont rely purely on biologically attuned senses..

maybe Im asking too much, but faith does that to you

Im the type of human that considers mathematics and everything logic-based, being science of any kind; biology, chemistry, and any other type of language, as secondary to anything related to introspections, spiritual attunement, and a more mystical point of view.

Yes to the scientist it may seem childish and romantic, but then again if something is not understood, it will always be ridiculed... considered as a lack of inteligence and a religious excuse to cover up unexplainable objects and situations in our universe... but then again I've never seen a monkey come up with fairytales and build up societies based on beliefs. I've also never seen science build up on anything except on weapons and pollution.

After death I believe in returning to a source, somewhere where we were created and then dispatched to carry out our assigned task... minimal and insignificant as it may be, or life-changing, and with repercussions on future societies. I call it God.

 

[Brosiris]

I'd rather have one girl who loved me for me than 100 who loved me for what I had.

 

[Chakra-X]

Haha, to be fair, let's not forget without science, you would not have the ability to type that post, send it someone miles away, in a blink of an eye. Through medicine, computers, and technology, our lives have completely changed from the days of the caveman. Faith, relatively, is very static and has not really changed in the hundreds of years of religious practice.

I do wonder if it would even be a good idea to get a straight-up, undeniable fact of where we go when we die. What if we discovered all we do is go into "nonexistence"? People might stop taking their lives for granted and better themselves and experience more, or some may become depressed and find human life insignificant.

But, if we proved there is a paradise/hell based on a reward and punishment system, I could say something similar. People might force themselves to live a good life to avoid eternal suffering, or people may be reluctant to live their mortal life knowing either there's a much better place they could be, or that they have no chance of going to the paradise and will do whatever the **** they want in their mortal life.

Perhaps death's ambiguity is the safest route.

Haha of.. yeah I exagerated, but you have to admit that weapons are the easiest to make and the funnest to spend your money on. I mean, spliting the atom was the discovery of the century, as labeled in the scientific community.. but what was its first use.. it was used as the primary technology behind the most destructive and inhumane weapon ever seen so far.
So yeah maybe I tend to exagerate but from what Ive seen, most technological advances do come from weapons.

Caveman mind + technological advances = Lethal
Caveman mind + technological advances + Inner view and faith in oneself for the good of mankind = Not so lethal

 

[kam!]

I still think that the whole idea of an eternal afterlife/paradise is pretty horrible.
Even if you could have everything you want (and I mean everything) I'd be bored after one (human) year, if not earlier.

And if you look at it closely, everything we feel/experience can be reduced to chemical reactions in our brain causing electrical impulses.
If you die, that stops. Near death experiences are caused by the brain going haywire, releasing lots of stuff and hormone making you have on hell of a trip.
Since experiences and religious concepts influence each of us (even atheists) these trips might always look like teh paradise.


And if there's an eternal afterlife, life itself becomes rather pointless, Why life this limited life if paradise lies behind?
Even hell would sound more awesome than this life, since everyone know all the hot chicks are bad girls.
(I know this totally contradicts my first sentence)
