Do you not believe me? Maybe it is aura, but one yogi was a very powerful soul; I know this as I received 'drishti' from her. Drishti is when we focus our 3rd eyes on each other to reach elevated states of sould consciousness. Drishti (Sanskrit: दृष्टि, romanized: dṛṣṭi; pronounced [d̪r̩ʂʈɪ]), or focused gaze, is a means for developing concentrated intention. It relates to the fifth limb of yoga, pratyahara, concerning sense withdrawal,[1] as well as the sixth limb, dharana, relating to concentration.[2] In Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, each asana is associated with one of the 8 focused gazes, namely Angusthamadhye (thumb), Bhrumadhye (eyebrow), Nasagre (tip of nose), Hastagrahe (tips of hands), Parshva (side), Urdhva (up), Nabhicakre (navel), and Padayoragre (tips of feet) Drishtis. In some other styles such as Sivananda Yoga, less use is made of the gaze, and fewer types are employed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalawaan Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) I wonder about that invisible energy that visibly departs every creature, when the eyes dull at the moment of death, something in there just stops "broadcasting" and it's tangible in the passing instant. I don't imagine we actually reunite with anyone or anything elsewhere. I think what many call the "soul" that energy, hangs around aimlessly for a while, then it quickly "forgets" who we were, what it, itself was, represented through our physical being. Then it just folds into itself, and into the unknowable spectrums of energy and particulae that thrum in the atmosphere around us, and we cease to exist beyond even atoms on any plane. I see this state not so much as being dead, as being energy yet unassembled and unborn. And no I don't mean reincarnation, I mean "unborn" we don't exist at all in any state in any form. In my imagination this is what this condition of ceasing to exist entails. Edited June 6, 2023 by chalawaan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said before, I do think it not actually important that everything is 'proven'. Maybe not everything can, with our limited human abilities. What matters, for us as a functioning zivilisation, is that people behave as if there is a moral law and ethics to follow. Everything else would lead to barbarism. Personally, I believe in Kamma and Samsara, without having any proof that this is a 'true' reflection of reality. It just sounded the most plausible to me, so I act accordingly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trillions of molecules that were "me" get redistributed into the environment. What atoms, molecules, neurons, synapses, ions and chemicals that were temporarily my 'consciousness' go on to become trees or rocks or are contained in someone's glass of water or are part of the atmosphere. 70 or so years after I'm gone, when anyone who ever knew me is also gone, I will be totally forgotten, as if I never even existed. When the sun goes supernova, or if it's too small to supernova and just burns out, some black hole will suck all that was Earth and this solar system, and do whatever it is black holes do with what they've reduced to a singularity. Ceasing to exist for all eternity will bother me as much as not existing for - infinity until my awareness of self arose bothered me. While I exist, however, I'm going to enjoy it....because I can. Well, even after all of the matter has emptied out of the expanding universe in the far, far future, quantum fluctuations will still occur in empty space. And, given enough time, and as long as the universe continues to expand for eternity, anyone or anything could conceivably arise again out of those quantum fluctuations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 My estate gets divided among my heirs, and I am entirely forgotten in 2-3 generations. All pain and struggle ceases. The compounds that make up my body are distributed in the environment. As for an afterlife in any form, I simply don't know. Neither does anyone else, it's a matter of belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine if you have done research into other beliefs and have made an intellectual or experiential decision - Atheism is actually a belief too. Rather sad that you call other people's spiritual beliefs, 'claptrap'. Do you know that around 4 billion people in the world believe in reincarnation? Somehow I feel you are very closed-minded and probably not open to discussion. I think you should try to look at what it is in fact that you are scared of when looking at afterlife, you might be surprised. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Around 3 billion in the world(Hindus/Buddists) believe in reincarnation, with a further 4 billion(Muslims/Christians) believing in an afterlife, yet 50% of Thai expats say there is nothing after we die.
