I accept my eternal punishment

I have always been interested in the spiritual world and the afterlife, more so than reality. I was also raised Christian so part of me is terrified that God won't forgive me for Ctb, based on how the bible says he will judge.

However as I have looked through near death experiences, majority of them seem positive where the experiencer feels more love than they have ever felt in their lives and they obtain an understanding of everything. A common theme I see is that our souls chose to come to earth to fulfill a purpose and that souls go through many different life times. I am terrified that those who ctb will be sent to hell or be forced to reincarnate to learn whatever our souls wanted to learn. I find it hard to believe that I would chose to be in the situation I am in, many other people would agree. Usually I would over look peoples stories about seeing God or the after life but the similarities between stories make it hard to deny imo.

What is your opinion on nde's and what do you expect to see when you ctb?
If given the choice to reincarnate would you?
If God does exist what questions would you ask him?

A lot of nde stories are hoaxes for religious grifting (like the heaven is for real book kid.) but as for the ones that are real, they vary from culture to culture . I recommend researching this because it is fascinating. For example, in India, ndes more commonly revolve around Hindu mythology rather than Christian. So instead of seeing Jesus, they report seeing Yamraj and other Hindu deities. https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual...oads/sites/360/2017/01/STE22NDEs-in-India.pdf

It's an example of culture bound syndromes (very fascinating topic.) so I wouldn't get paranoid about hell actually existing over ndes.

If I had choice to reincarnated, maybe I would. But in a very very long time from now.
If god exists I wouldn't ask him anything. Because clearly he was just bored when making this shit show called earth lol

My friend had an nde and said it was all love . I like watching ndes on youtube. Nobody reports there is a Hell this is made up by Abrahamic religions. Apparently our higher selves dont have an ego so we chose to reincarnate to learn different lessons for soul growth. Those that commit suicide feel bad about it when they have a life review but they move on its just checkin out early on their soul contract or whatever no judgement from source. Not saying this is true just what is reported

I think NDEs are absolutely stupid and don't conclude anything. I have no idea as to how people believe in NDEs. There's so many flaws with it and one major flaw of it is that the NDE happens to coincidentally align with whatever they believe in

I think it's hard to say, but I choose to believe. They're said to be realer than real, just like waking up from a dream is realer than than the dream. It's easy for us to tell the difference and I trust people with NDEs can tell the difference between here and a higher reality.

As for hellish experiences, I think a lot of those are concocted for the purpose of conversion. For those that aren't, I believe mindset at death matters and one can call for help to be released from a bad mindset.

I will probably regret it I ctb but I think my ego bit off too much.

Also, I think the "soul" usually chooses to reincarnate when one dies prematurely but I don't think it's a punishment or that it's necessarily harder than before. I don't know that I would ask God anything.

What is your opinion on nde's and what do you expect to see when you ctb?
NDE's could very well be a result of chemical reactions in our brains when we die. Nobody ever came back after they really crossed the line to the "other side".

Whatever "conscious life" is - we don't know what makes certain combinations of atoms conscious. Mass = energy and energy = mass. Everything is being recycled over and over again on earth and in the universe and one day everything will die even the universe. Death can't be sth bad it's evolution.

If given the choice to reincarnate would you?
No.

If God does exist what questions would you ask him?
Why do you create me if you already know that I will commit suicide? Why did you not interfere and let me succeed in life? Why did you not let me die in my sleep if you already knew I would suffer even more the next day?

Well, if a god existed at all and if this being was almighty it would create a world that is perfect for him not a world that is hell and pushed people to suicide just to enjoy them suffering even more in hell ... what a sadistic god that is.

A common theme I see is that our souls chose to come to earth to fulfill a purpose and that souls go through many different life times. I am terrified that those who ctb will be sent to hell or be forced to reincarnate to learn whatever our souls wanted to learn.

What I find with this thought is reincarnation as a means of punishment for failing to learn collapses in of itself. Is the soul independent of the person or are they one together? If so, what if that person's personality changes? What if the person deduced what they learned living life and they were equally pragmatic between good/evil, love/hate etc but the soul failed to learn, is that the fault of the soul or the person? And even if to reincarnate, how can the soul learn anything by going into somebody else entirely that is ultimately a reset of progress? Why suffer and burden the person and/or soul with repeated exposures to the worst (or even the best) things in life to atone and anoint the soul successfully learning something to then ascend?

Billions upon billions of souls walked the earth in humanity's existence, what else is there to learn that the rest have not? Does this extend to every living thing in existence? What do they have to learn and why? Trillions of souls at that rate. It reminds me of an episode of Futurama of flying brains scouring through the entire universe for information to then feedback the information to a gigantic central brain to rule the universe.

To me, reincarnation as a means of punishment is victim-blaming people and serves as punishment for...what? Reincarnation to me strips individual lived experience and autonomy of people's lives that amount to what I think is worse than nothing. If my soul was born to a new family and I ascended and I'm met with two different families, who do I go to? Would they be accepting of my choice and would they unify with them too?

NDEs always reflect whatever the person believes in. So that, plus the mess that our brains go through when dying will result in experiences related to religion to people who are religious, experiences related to peace to the ones who aren't religious but feel they deserve peace, etc.

The only person who knows what death is like is the one that is dead and they can't talk so there's no way of knowing.

My personal belief is that there's nothing afterwards and, whilst dying, the brain will go through whatever process it needs to go through. I sort of see it like a program shutting down: destroying spawned entities, clearing out variables. I find it amusing that maybe during that shutdown process it is clearing out memory and that's why you may see a flashback of your life.

The internal garbage collector just doing it's final work of collecting and clearing up all those variables before finally calling ShutDown().

I'm so obsessed with NDE! I watch a lot of videos on YouTube and they all have a common them, love, peace, eternal happiness! They will almost all say they didn't want to come back. Occasionally, I'll see a few of people who went to hell and it sounds horrific. I believe there's an afterlife, but I hope when we close our eyes it's for eternity. I'd rather skip the afterlife and have eternal rest lol. I'm rather not take a chance again, it's not worth it!

Ive watched a lot of NDE stuff too, same as you cause I'm trying to not worry about dark shit after ctb. Mostly ive seen just stories of love but one movie had two people talk to having had truly scary as experiences. That freaked me, but mentally i do realise theres a lot of fear mongering here. Ive since read the film has a Christian production slant. Though not readily advertised of course.

Re finishing off some purpose so being reincarnated, falling chronically ill has blown all the theories on this to smithereens for me. No way I would have put this degree of suffering in my life path, and its way beyond who i know in my deepest wisdom to believe i would deserve in karma. I made some poor life choices, but no more so than others who dont have my illness, and i made one big career decision wrong that would have had me avoid this. One decision and i suffer in hell for it. I dont think so. There's no model that fits why i am here. And i am so bloody traumatised by whats collapsed for me that coming back for more would only be after a long period of miracle healing. What if i am supposed to come back and make better decisions? Well shit, if one poor big decision and few poor minor decisions can land me in living hell its hardly a realistic learning situation. Ive been a bit of a spiritual seeker, have read heaps and lots of different backgrounds, but landing here???? Its called into question everything. I do think there is a Universal, divine if you like, source. Even quantum physics agrees this. But the 'rules' around how its all apparently working, I cant make anything stick that would have me sit in this utter terror. 🤷🏼‍♀️

So yeah, dunno, too much indoctrination underlying stuff to really deconstruct conditioned thoughts and beliefs. Yet here we are tainted and worried by them. I wish I could just be "i need out" with no concerns, unfounded or otherwise.

I don't believe in NDEs but I have nothing against anyone who does. I think the mind is capable of great things that we cannot possibly comprehend and this can manifest itself in ways we may never understand. All that being said, it can bring great comfort to people leading up to ctb and I am glad they can have peace in their last moments thanks to this. Reincarnation itself a tricky subject but if I had the choice I think that I might, as long as I would have no knowledge or memories of this life. A true fresh start and blank slate. But that opens the door to another miserable life, so I could never be sure what I would do. I just want bliss in life and if I can't have that then I want peace in death.

When I was about 5 I didnt know how ro swim and drownwed at a public pool. I had used a paddle board to go to the deep end, and accediently dropped it. I would let myself sink to the bottom and then push off back up, until I was too tired to make it back up. I was obviously eventually resusciated. I dont remeber anything from the between, it was like I fell asleep and woke up. I mean that really, drowninv was very peacful. It burned a little at first but it subsided. Maybe its because i was so young and didnt understand death yet but I was very calm the whole time, I dont think I yelled even once. When my legs gave out i just accepted it. Being resusciated was like having someone snatch the sheets of your bed. I remember I was actually a little upset LMAO. So i guess I did kinda feel the warmth or love or whatever. But no visions, just a headache :(. I do however believe in reincarnation and an afterlife/God. Not tyed to a single religion but just like genearally. I think my life is bad not all life.

I've researched a lot about this stuff and I feel like the biggest thing about NDE's is that it's very hard to readily replicate those experience for a lab setting, and so the surreal nature of them remains unconvincing to many (and tbh I'm very much on the fence) And the fact that not everyone experiences and NDE around death too (only about ~10-23%). Anyways to a materialist (which I feel is going to be most of the forum and a lot Millenials/Gen z considering they are the most atheistic generation). saying something like "I got hit by a car and saw myself standing in the air looking at my body" sounds crazy. But honestly? We have no idea how the brain truly works, and who knows if its more a like a signal (awareness) and a reciever (our body) or if its strictly an emerging property of the brain. We have our sides but we don't conclusively know for certain.

but I know a lot of people who have begun to believe in spirituality after experiencing an NDE. And these expereiences definietly are something that you could only understand through living through them I think rather than taking their word for it. It's morally ambiguous to kill people "a little bit" to test these things anways.

My qualms with NDE's come with the idea of it being more than just a dying brain going haywire, these vivid hallucinations being a swansong of everything that composed you. I'm not a neurologist so I'm not sure how it works but the Pam Reynolds case (you should look it up) was a large topic of discussion that made me think about researching more about this stuff. It's notable because they tracked her brain waves during surgery (IIRC she had a tumor that was located in a spot that forced the doctors to do a specific type of procedure that stops her heart and drains the blood from her brain-- and this is before she went into the operating room) She showed no response in her brain and yet was able to describe a near-death expereinece where she able to accurately describe the tools being used and what the displays on monitors said (despite never seeing any of it before) and said that a light grew on the cieling- and that her grandfather stopped her from entering that light (at her detest) and it ends with her grandfather pushing her back into her body at the end. The doctors that did the surgery have said they have no idea how she knew all of this. Looking at Nderf.org (they have an archive of people telling their experiences in detail) too most people's expereince essentially amount to this too. Seeing dead loved ones urging them to stay in the realm of the living. Though some people see popular religious figures, it remains a minority (and arguably, if we were to entertain this as true, how do they know if they were the religious figures, or if they thought they were? big difference imo)

There's also terminal lucidity and hospice workers knowing that if the persons they take care of talk about seeing dead people or otherwordly spirits they'll die soon. I remember the same person that had an OBE talked about going to the hospital with someone they cared about and said "Do you not see that angel?" He was ofcourse confused, and she offered to draw the entity (she was an artist). Ultimately he wrote it off but that night she died. It was these expereinces that pushed him to leaning as an idealist. And I don't blame him tbh. I grew up christian but I feel like whatever is outthere it isn't the abrahamic religions. I would reincarnate but if I could negotiate I would want to live a long life helping people. But I don't think I'm good enough for that. I'd probably be punshed and live some sort of horrible life. But they say its all love amongst the stars so maybe they'll be forigiving. Honestly, I wouldn't mind some aspects of me being the same considering we cut our stories short. But maybe being a completely different person won't lead me being here again.

If there is an omniscent God, I'd ask him why? Why would you create knowing people in life will do nothing but suffer? Why must some of your most devoted believers live nothing but horrible lives? If you already know the outcomes of their tests why not send their souls straight to heaven or hell? Why above everything do you permit evil? And for me personally, why did my and everyone around me's life have to be this way? We are to beg at your feet yet get none of your miracles? What the heck bro. And if suicide is a cardinal sin why do you smite the person who is already struggling with eternal damnation? That dosen't seem much fair.

Anyways we can talk about this more depending in how interested you are with the subject, I'm totally down because these things interest me greatly.

I was never interested in them up until recently when death started feeling like an upcoming reality. I think they are as believable as any other speculation so I decided to be uncharacteristically open to hearing positive stories. If i realize the person might be operating with a religious bias then it kind of spoils it for me but aside from that, I think its fair to imagine that we exist for no purpose or a purpose we are not intended to discover or understand. So why could it not be a positive experience, should we have any afterlife at all.

I feel about them the same way I feel about dreams. I think the brain is an incredible organ- capable of creating all sorts of fantasy worlds and letting us inhabit them. I don't see NDE's as being so different to that. There are supposedly similarities between what people 'see' in NDE's. There are similarities between what people dream too. Lots of people dream they can fly or, their teeth are falling out.

I don't think they prove that we go anywhere though. I just think the brain is flooded with hormones/ chemicals or whatever at the end- which likely makes the experience incredibly intense. I think I've read that certain hallucinogenic drugs produce the same effect:


If we can simulate the symptoms of an NDE using drugs then surely- that suggests that it isn't something that only happens when we die. It's something the brain can be forced to do when flooded with certain chemicals.

To me, saying that NDE's are proof of a afterlife is the equivalent in my view of me saying: I dream I can fly. Therefore, I can.

I hope there's no afterlife! It sounds beautiful and everyone souls seem so happy but I'll pass, let me forever sleep! I don't need to ask God any questions. My only hope is ill find some happiness in this life, before I sleep forever. I would love to be excited about waking up for 1 day. I'll even settle for a great dream when my mother and sister come visit me in my sleep. Those are the only hopes I have left in this life.

I think NDE's are highly subjective and can be meaningful for others, and that's it. I personally don't take stock in them. When I die I expect to see a burst of painful memories and then nothing.

No, I wouldn't choose to be reincarnated.

If a singular god exists I would ask them if they had a fucked up childhood.
