I ignore it completely :P

You can't just ignore it forever

I don't plan to. I just don't see a reason to think about it. We're going to pass on sometime, so what use is there fretting about it? Its scary and upsetting, why do that to one's self? And nobody knows what's after this, you'll hear lots of different opinions

I used to think about this all the time. Now I just accept it will have its place and it's time now after seeing many I cherished pass the last few years. If it begins bothering me I just consul my self with what makes up "me" (both physical matter and energy) was once something else other than 'me' and after I'm gone it will become something else. If there is anything else after, it will be a adventure, otherwise I won't care.

One starts the process of ageing and dyeing from the moment one is born. If I don't wake up in the morning, I won't know any thing about it.

I remember a scene from a movie (don't remember what the movie was) where an Indian was dying and saying to the Chief "I do not want to die!" The Chief told him "You didn't want to be born! The only world you knew in the womb was one where you were surrounded by liquid, all the food and air you needed was provided to you. You were warm and safe. But when you were born, you came into this world crying, but as you grew you got to experience many wonderful things. It is the same with the next life."

I started thinking like that a couple years ago. "Once your dead you may cease to exists". Its scary shit, man, I agree. I never really coped with it. More or less I accepted it. Bottom line is thus - Everything dies.

You'll die. I'll die. Everyone in this comment section? They'll die. Your family will die and your friends will die. Everyone and everything will, eventually and inevitably, die. So relax, sit back, enjoy all the down-right weird shit this life has to offer and, most importantly, have fun :3.

Have fun that I won't ever remember :P

To me the thought of death reinforces the thought of being thankful for those we have in our lives. If any encounter we have could be the last, we should make the best of those moments in our lives and cherish the memories we have together. In my mind, every moment only occurs once, make the best of it. May be a bit short term but it helps me a lot. I know from experience after my coworker died suddenly last fall.

On a side note, I recall some time ago reading quotes about death...not everyone feels it's a bad thing. I admit, some days I wish death wasn't a thing. Other days...well, it's a relief that death is a thing.

Is there a life after this one? I have no idea and quite frankly...I don't care. For the time such questions are irrelevant to me. I live each day at a time, seeking the best for the moment, and moving on to the next. Moments for myself and those around me.

Above my kitchen sink I have a plaque that says "Yesterday is already a dream and tomorrow is only a vision; but today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

Now to the next moment...

hrm..............

If you look up at the stars. The light you see is a millions of years old. Or more. To that star,,, you never really existed. Never had any impact on anything in the universe and when you are gone,, there will be no difference to that star. You were all ready dead and gone when you were born in less than a microsecond of life in the universe. Your perception of existence is nothing more than a chemical reaction. To that star. You,, I,, and all here,, never mattered to anything and never amounted to anything. In the immortal words of Albert Einstein. "Reality is a merely an illusion. Although a very persistent one."

Enjoy. I suggest you go fuck someone, just to make their reality ,, an illusion. Or,, perhaps fun,, Just for a microsecond.

Yay!

Yep, that all sums it up :3

That's why I am turning to Jesus. I've been doing lots of research and hearing lots of testimonies.
I was terrified of death and now it's not as bad as it used to be.
I am always researching death experiences and it's what brought me to that.
I think we are in engraved with that fear, so we can research it and go to Him.

Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. You should always be ready for there to be nothing after this life. I'm not going to believe there's a heaven with no visual proof, why should I?

For your salvation. I know He exists. I've seen many ppl with testimonies and can't bs a changed life.
It's up to you, tho. You seem scared. I'd look into it if I were you.

How can there be testimonials?

There's tons all over Youtube. If it was fake, there wouldn't be testimonies from former New Agers, former Muslims, former atheists, etc.

Most of them probably say they saw some white light

No, they say they went to Hell and Jesus gave them mercy, or they went to Heaven. I also listen to former satanist testimonies. There's tons. A white light wouldn't be enough to convince me to loose my friends and get cursed by random ppl.

People are paid to say certain things and religious people can be a bit nutty so I would take that with a grain of salt.

You're true in that, but I've met many people that are not paid to say anything and they have a changed life as well.
I've met many people who turned to Jesus and they went broke because of it, and they were former New Agers making tons of money.
One is Doreen Virtue and another one is Stephen Bancarz. Plus, I do have my own experiences from family. My gramps was a former exorcist.
Anyways, it's up to you. I used to be scared of death like crazy and now it's not as bad anymore.
:)

I mean, none of that really proves what's going to happen after we die. I look around like everyone else and see absolutely no sign of any higher power whatsoever. Why would whatever it may be hide itself so fully and not have a more positive impact? Why be so mysterious? If all that believing in it did for me was to make me less scared of death somehow...well...that's not going to change what's going to happen, so I'd rather just let happen what will happen. If there is nothing after I die, then believing in something to make me less scared won't do anything.

Well, someone once told me that 'God is not on trial, you are.' That's something that hit home with me. I can't really answer all your questions, unless you're willing to Skype, so I can talk to you, then answer. I don't want to force anything you don't want, nor interested. I just wanted to give you some sort of clarity and peace in mind. I just know from testimonies, this is what I've seen and heard. Many things are happening to have the events unfold from Revelations in the Bible.
If interested, we can discuss this further. I just don't want to make a debate or fun topic into an argument with personal attacks.
:)

Well everyone is free to believe what they like. I've seen many testimonials as well about it just being a "white light" and/or nothing so.

Currently, I am watching Stephen Dollins right now. He was a former Satanist.
