CraigTalk - What happens when you die?

This is an age old, universal question. Whether you belong to a religion or not, nobody knows the answer. Here are my thoughts on what happens when you die.

im just scared that when i die, its almost like closing your eyes, FOREVER... a never ending blackness... i would have anything else... just not that...

[CraigTube]

@theycallzachthenoob It's not like that. I've never died, but you're not trapped in your body anymore so you're free, and you don't have eyes. :)

I think there's a fallacy with the second possibility due to the loss of memory the consciousness seems to experience. If a consciousness exists prior to entering a body, exists while inside the body, then exists once it has left the body, why does our consciousness remember nothing other than the portion we're currently experiencing? What could possibly cause such a loss of memory?

[CraigTube]

@roguemjd Who is to say that our consciousness only remembers this experience? It may very well be a defense mechanism for life that we don't have the full memories of our consciousness while alive because if we did, that would make life meaningless. It would be like knowing what is in every gift before you open them. You wouldn't want to live if you knew there was a grander existence after life, unless of course you were told that if you kill yourself you wouldn't go there. (Bible)

Maybe our body limits our level of consciousness? Perhaps, we achieve full consciousness and 100% intelligence, only when we are dead?

My biggest fear of death is coming back to life with orange hair #AwfulThoughts

[ScaryKidBellanger]

Exactly. I don't fear death. To fear death is to fear birth, and both will happen whether you fear it or not. I'm also not saying this to sound like some bad ass. It's partly just who I am, but it's something that should be common in all of us. I'm scared as he'll of life though because in life there is pain. I assume death is peace and numb. Lol

my biggest fear is not death iteself, but the transition from to death. whats it gonna feel like to shut down? thats MY biggest question

@GaunletofDestruction We become everything, and everything becomes us. Our body is made of energy and that energy returns to the source only to be redistributed again.

This is a fun thing to talk about with a few buddies around a fire with some beers.

having recently watched a couple of your videos - I need to admit you're a very wise person and your views closely match mine. Life is simple and enjoyable experience, some just see the things differently - making them more complex - good example is the fear of death. Thanks for your time recording these and will defo keep watching your videos.

for all we know, death could be better than life.. dont be scared of death.. embrace death!

How can you truly know for sure, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Bible is correct?
