a few ideas hit me, firstly, lets talk about timelines, from my understanding, every possible event that can ever happen has already happen, this means that realities are constantly branching off from each other, for every event that happens, there is a new reality that branches off from it and so on and so on ect...this creates a infinite series of events that can continue to branch off each other for eternity.
so for instance, lets say someone showed you a red pill and a blue blue pill, then they asked you to choose one, now, lets say you chose blue, how ever, there could be a reality where you chose red instead. i believe that when you have the potential to make a choice, realities will branch off for each possible outcome.so all this would suggest that there is acually a infinite numbers of "you" spread out between all realities that you exist in.

so, when thinking about death while keeping the concept of infinate realities in mind, it would be logical to think that when you die, that version of you simply goes away, as in it no longer exist, it would be as if that you has never existed, how ever, there would still be other versions of you in other realities, so it seems to me that when you die, you simply continue experiencing life as a other version of yourself, thus, you would never even known you died.

this last idea is kinda messy and complex, lets start by taking in account the fact that we are all one and that we are all connected, if this is true, then i imagine death would be like you blinking out of exsistance, how ever, there is still other people alive and conscious, this means that if you yourself blinks out of existance, then its ok because it would simply be like becoming someone else while forgetting your current self.as if you never existed in the first place, thus, in a way, your life continues on, not as in individual but rather a universal awareness or consciousness.

dang, the last idea is is going to be hard to understand lol, i tried my best to explain it either way XD
to better understand the second idea, try to just imagine what im talking about because it may be easier to understand if you just imagine it...if that makes any sense @.@


I thought it was really funny when you used the world infinity and logic in the same sentence. haha.


also I understand it's fun to think about what happens after death but I just wouldn't advise it. I would advise first looking to wiser and older individuals who have dedicated many years to yoga, meditation, or prayer (spiritual gurus) and reading their ideas. I think this is wise because its the fastest way to learn, to cultivate new ideas, and it avoids running into situations that have been thought of before. Then maybe after a few years of that, maybe even decades, then you have the strength to sit down and toy with things like the belief of the afterlife.

like all 3 of your ideas, already heavily thought of, explained, theorized, philosphized... lol. and they explain it way better than you also.

if you are just casually exploring these ideas out of curiosity, my apologies for assuming. But my assumption is you think about these things to remove your anxiety about life, and that is dangerous. I dont have the time nor desire to explain it fully, just know it's messing with cosmic forces and for a mortal that is not good (ok thats poetry lol, its messing with your brain chemistry which leads to all kinds of bad **** like recurring negative behaviors. Do you think you sabotage yourself now? Wait until you run into a negative thought about the afterlife. if you truly "believe it, if the belief lowers your anxiety, then you will keep it, even if it means you stop hanging out with friends, life loses purpose, etc. etc.
