What keeps you going in life?

Missnu - couldnt have said it better myself....

While I dont necessarily believe in GOD, I have to allow for the possibility for it to exist. I dont necessarily believe in reincarnation, but i have to allow for the possibility for it to be true. Im relying on the "Faith as small as a mustard seed" statement... lol
Those two things keep me from eating a .45 hollow point everyday....Well, that and I do try to be here for my kids, and I figure they still need me.

im not turning this into a god/reincarnation argument or anything but id like to tell you something that makes me believe in some continuation of our existence.

I like most fear had the smallest amount of hope but never really believed...then i seen a documentary on death and blah blah and the last part of it featured someone who had been legally dead in a hospital and saw himself saved exactly how it happened. he could recall what was said and what specific people were in the room and everything and later when he told those in the hospital what happened they confirmed what he "saw" was actually what happened.

thats hard to do if when you die everything "goes black" and thats the end.

i was pretty impressed with that honestly. i forget how long he was dead for...but it was a long enough period of time when his heart wasn't beating.

so just the fact that happened to someone who was actually dead and what he saw/heard while he was dead was true makes me believe.

granted idk where we go or what happens in the end but thats much better to look forward to than nothing...plus like i said i believe the person. it would be impossible to fake.

I feel like if I was gone my kids would still have family that could care for them and they might everyone be better off without me...but people tell me that depression makes you feel that way...
Either way, I am not going to jump off a building, but if you try to push me there is a chance I won't fight it...lol.

But the brain gets so many minutes after the heart before everything stops...so if they get your heart started back your brain is going to be like WTF??
I had an uncle that died on the operating table a few times and he said that he could remember what happened everytime...and that the shock hurts all the way to your soul.

right on. Ya, im actually way more spiritual than that, and I dont think I would describe my belief as one supreme being. I think more on a quantum physics level of all things are interconnected and yada yada yada...

And in the grand scheme of things, we are only here but a brief glimpse in time.. so does it really matter if I trudge thru the daily grind? it will be over before I know it anyways.

I have very little faith in mankind, as we have not changed, ever... nothing mankind has discovered has made us a better people. the basic MO of humanity has not changed at all. we jus have kooler toys now. Sure there are good/bad people, as there always has been. however life on this rock hasnt changed for any of us, the same basic principals control the population.

So given that, what use is it to find the next best technology, or next breakthrough medical revelation..... Will it make us a better people?

Well, i know I have people around me that care, and they look towards me for a lot. I dont mind tho, im pretty bored here all the time. not much seems to interest me. as iv said. i cant seem to devote much energy to anything that doesnt mean something. i dont even know what meaning im looking for, but i know its not in a book. any book, not talking specifically about the bible.


the kids, well yeah, they would probly be ok, people die, people move on, children included. I wouldnt be the first, nor the last. everyone has to deal with loss at some point in life.





im really thinkn, bout the only thing you can do, is find somebody to be with (not always easy, they come n go also sometimes), enjoy it, and keep yourself as distracted as possible so you dont think about this shit to much, a weak mind cant handle it for long. Spirituality is key here, developing oneself, and letting go of shit that dont matter, thats the only way I make it thru...

If he had been dead with no heartbeat for a few minutes longer he wouldn't remember anything and would be a vegetable.

I feel like it is more like we just wink out of existence when we die...like oh well that is that...perhaps we come back as someone new, but you don't know if you do, so no sense in arguing that.

You won't be bored and you won't see anything..your brain will stop thinking thoughts so everything is just gone...

anyone else get chills?? lol

i definitely believe there is continuity to our existence. a near death experience is VERY similar to that of a DMT trip (its literally a trip to the 4th dimension).ill try to explain my experience.

the simplest way to put it is that well.. i saw the light.. that light everyone always talks about in movies and books and history.. it was incredible.

it was the most astonishing, overwhelming experience of my whole life. i was in a completely black room and felt my body disintegrated by this white energy. i havent tried it again in over a year... i had very different results with lower doses. but this was the one that really sketched me out...

i highly recommend it to people who can meditate and be alone with their own imagination and thoughts comfortably. its not a party drug obviously you just trance out. if you want to learn more abt dmt i recommend the spirit molecule or youtube joe rogan dmt

we have to accept that there are bigger things going on around us that we aren't capable of understanding.

hears a fact. human eye sight is only capable of viewing .1223434545 of the available light spectrum? its some long ass decimal i dont rememer exactly but its in Michael talbot - holographic universe amazing book

but yea we can only see a fraction of whats going on around us. clairvoyants can train their minds to see auroras. i read abt study where they took 20 top clairvoyants from around the world and test them on 100 people and they ALL SAW THE EXACT SAME AURORAS!!! -- also from Michael talbot - holographic universe

im high and rambling sry!...

THE POINT. we cant be born into these lifes randomly. everyone has to be living this experience they have been given for a reason. right?

there has to be some kind of divine justice. i guess that's what keeps me going and trying to be a better person. peace!
