Death

    When I was a Dub I was petrified of displeasing the trademark imaginary god that the WBT$ had invented. I feared that kind of death.

    The thought of being unconscious totally forevermore seems so weird.

    Now that I know the WBT$ was lying (as usual), and I realise there can't possibly be a god as described in religion I am now faced with the reality that I'll be dead and gone with nothing to carry me on after in a conscious way. Just because I don't want this to happen doesn't mean it won't.

    Oh, darn! I'm boned!!

    It seems the threat the WBT$ hung over my head is a reality.

    It seems impossible to comprehend.

    Anyone else feel the same?

    I feared death more when I thought there was a way to circumvent it. Now I know it is inevitable I have no fear of dying!

    Or as someone put it so well on the track "The Great Gig in the Sky" on Pink Floyd's DSOTM -- "and I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it - you've gotta go sometime"

    For 13.8 billions years your consciousness didn't exist and it didn't bother you a bit.

    Why just 13.8 billions years? What made you pick that number?

    cantleave - There's nothing that cheers me up more than Pink Floyd.

    EP - Yes, Good point. I realise I won't be bothered after I snuff it but after all those years (50+) wasting my life in the cult, I suddenly know I've wasted my life when I could have done so much more to help people.

    50+ years in the cult and it's a bit of a new concept that death really IS the end. I think I need time to get used to it.

    Dep - 13.8 or 18.3, it's all the same I s'pose.

    ep: what science?

    I was not bothered by an eternity of non-existence along with nothing.

    prove that time is not Eternal,

    google it.
