What Happens After Suicide in an “Infinite Universe”? ♾️

[Kornous]

Woah, this was a trip indeed. I don't necessarily believe in all of these concepts, but it is definitely intriguing and thought-provoking. And yes, the law of physics states that energy cannot be either created nor destroyed, only transformed. There's something comforting about this idea.

Do you mind sharing where you read about this leaf guy story? I'd like to get into these circles and do more research

This is one of the sections of the Russian forum 2ch, so you will have to sit there with a translator (as I am now sitting on this forum). Here are a few more posts, I just threw the photo into the photo translator, so the translation may be very clumsy.

That's my #1 guess too. Unfortunately, nobody (whom I believe in anyway) was able to come back and tell us to prove us otherwise.

I think that everything that lives, dies. The end.

I do believe that our brains are capable of making a LOT of shit up to keep us from killing ourselves or to keep us in a delusional state that feels comforting to us. I sometimes wish I didn't think so much so I can have that delusion. Wouldn't that be great if we all just KNEW (I mean 100% "know") we were going to an ever-lasting life of eternal happiness…… but then perhaps maybe suicide rates would INCREASE if we knew for sure we're going to paradise after "this life". I don't know…… I'm just rambling my thoughts out here!

I think about that sometimes. It's almost like all these failsafes in place to make it more difficult or frighting. If the human body had a button you could push to end it, everyone would at one point or another in their lives. If we could glimpse what was after, maybe everyone would be doing it. Even if it was just nothing. That peace has its draw too.

I just wanted to add, I appreciate how kind you are to everyone in here when I've seen your posts. It's not something I experience in life a lot. It's lovely to see. Thank you.

What happens after you are cleansed?

Options on how to continue the journey.. depending on choices and options..forming a new body and sensetech (bardo of becoming) that can inhabit and perceive finer levels of cosmos or reincarnation to one of many worlds

Does anyone have any research literature or even just your own personal thoughts on what happens to people who take their own lives if we were living (hypothetical speaking……. possibly) in an infinite universe?

Thanks for sharing!

EDIT: I think I read somewhere that Buddhists believe that when you suicide, you continue to do the same thing (kill yourself) over and over again in every life. PLEASE correct me if this is not accurate. I hope this is NOT accurate!

I think I'd prefer eternal nothingness.

Heya, I just stumbled upon this Buddhist story about a man who took his own life, yet Buddha himself has deemed him liberated from the cycle of rebirth.
The man(Godhika) has achieved a temporary freedom of heart's desires through meditation, but this state of mind kept slipping away from him, so in despair he decided to use a knife to make it more well "permanent" :3
Yet his act was not condemned in the story, on a contrary, Godhika was praised for freeing himself and gaining "unestablished consciousness" so Mara(God of illusion and rebirth) couldn't find him and entrap him after his death(by suicide).

Hope this brings you all some hope and comfort

While I don't personally believe in an afterlife, there is a quote about meeting god that I keep rereading that gives me a little bit of hope, it goes something like:

"You're here already? I didn't expect you so soon. But come in quickly, boy. Let me wipe the tears from your eyes. Never again will there be such hell for you. And then maybe we could talk. About how it's possible that your life was so short. Too short."

Nice concept. This moved me to tears.
Thank you for this.
