Unhappy

I feel so torn about these matters. Though I grew up with a spiritualistic worldview, I have had doubts and anxiety about it since the age of 9.

What Sparrow says in the beginning of the thread is more or less what I once believed in. Then I shifted from that to some kind of agnosticism or atheism. That, however, has never satisfied me, so I frantically searched for evidence for the afterlife from a more scientific point of view. Those was never conclusive.

Today, at 25, I find myself completely confused. I cannot simply believe in an afterlife such as this, but nor can I believe in no afterlife.

Therefore, I began trying to have OBEs in order to obtain some kind of proof. However, even though I have just begun, my mind has become obsessed with questions of life and death.

No one I know understands these subjects apart from their own religions - which do not demand such certainty - so I seek advice on how to deal with this without getting obsessed.
