what do you guys think about death?
its always been a toughy subject for me. I fear i wll die all the time from some health problem i havent found yet, or something. i imagine it like being asleep when you have no dreams, but you never wake up from it. so im not to fond of not being alive anymore, i enjoy life. but sometimes i dont mind death, i dont care if i die, because i know ive had a good life. but then again i havent seen the things i want to see in the world yet.
just wondering what you guys think about death,

I take some solace in the fact that it will be all over at some point. I keep that in mind when I try to make peace with this crazy world of ours.

I think I'm more afraid of dying in some horrible way rather than actually being dead.
If I'm dead, then its pretty much done and I got nothing to worry about. But the thought of burning alive or something is fucking terrifying.

This might be depressing to some but this is what I think and not trying to start any shit. I figure for all that I have done in life I deserve to die in a bad way and when it is over it is over. I am trying to make up for some of the stuff now but I do not think I can make up for a lot of it. All I can really hope for is to teach my kids to not make some of the same mistakes I have made in life with the time I have left. If there is a heaven and hell(I am not a believer) then I will surely go to hell

yeah i would want to die in my sleep, so i wouldnt see it coming. But if i was saving a loved one id be more than happy to die a painful slow death or loose a body part or something.

Yea I guess so, but there is a very short list of people I would endure any sort of physical pain for.

This too will pass.
Death.
Life is a dream.
What is death?
Another dream?
Waking up?
Who knows.
A Buddhist monk said that DMT is as far out as you could go without dying.
Maybe death is like a huge amazing DMT trip. Maybe you go into the fourth dimension.
Death is like a trip man.
Death.
It is the black hole.
No information that goes in can communicate back.
“Death is a part of all our lives. Whether we like it or not, it is bound to happen. Instead of avoiding thinking about it, it is better to understand its meaning. We all have the same body, the same human flesh, and therefore we will all die. There is a big difference, of course, between natural death and accidental death, but basically death will come sooner or later. If from the beginning your attitude is 'Yes, death is part of our lives,' then it may be easier to face.” - Dali Lama
Even death is not to be feared by one who has lived wisely.
Buddha
But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.
Alan Watts
I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.
Alan Watts
~ Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together ~
Alan Watts
"The trick that's been used in ancient civilizations was to convince the public that nothing was real at all, you see. And once you've convinced them of that, you've dominated them, because whatever you do to them doesn't matter since nothing's real. And that's the usual spiel of psychological warfare which is put out by certain individuals even today. For and on behalf of the big boys. It's so easy to control vast civilizations and populations when whenever you do anything to them it doesn't matter because nothing's real, IT's ALL ILLUSION. An illusion, by definition, is really, it's not a hallucination; a hallucination is not real at all, you see, that's what it means. An illusion is a distortion of reality, so we should be very clear on the terms that are used. And people who are taught that this is not really happening and all the nasty things are not really happening, can retreat into their (indistinct) and go on forever, or at least for as long as those who control the physical allow it because that's what it boils down to." - Alan Watt
A discussion of the Indian philosophy of the world as maya -- under its several meanings as illusion, art, magic, creative power, measure, etc. Various techniques in the arts are used to illustrate the diaphanous and vibrational character of the material world, and to suggest a new approach to the old philosophy that the universe is "mind" only.
Since at least 1500 B.C. men have, from time to time, held the view that our normal vision of the world is a hallucination—a dream, a figment of the mind, or, to use the Hindu word which means both art and illusion, a maya. The implication is that, if this is so, life need never be taken seriously. It is a fantasy, a play, a drama to be enjoyed. It does not really matter, for one day (perhaps in the moment of death) the illusion will dissolve, and each one of us will awaken to discover that he himself is what there is and all that there is—the very root and ground of the universe, or the ultimate and eternal space in which things and events come and go. A.Watts

Hallucinogens left me with more questions than answers, so in my search for answers I looked at the major eastern religions, and the only real belief system that lined up with what I already believed and felt was Buddhism. I'm not really a practicing Buddhist, but I believe it hits reality on the mark.

Energy is never created or destroyed, only reformed.
Or so I try to convince myself.
You know, that when I die my energy will go unto another life whether I am somehow attached to it or not is just the selfish part of me wishing never to die.

At risk of sounding like too much of a hippy, in the end we are all part of the same system.
