'fear is of death'- Personal Speculation on Death

ok, bottle of water near by, just finished smoking a cig (I'm planning on quitting once i have a new career), and i'm ready to at least share my perspective on death, for what it is worth, take it or leave it, it is just my perspective.

So, I believe that all that happens when we die, is we enter into awareness, awareness of everything that exist. I believe we are able to see and hear and feel and know everyone's perspective that has existed or does exist, we become like God, or we become one with God.

Matter is neither created nor destroyed.

"In physics, energy (from the Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working"[1]) is a quantity that is often understood as the capacity to perform work. This quantity as the contained energy can be assigned to any particle, object, or system of objects as a consequence of its physical state. Different forms of energy include kinetic, potential, thermal, gravitational, sound, elastic and electromagnetic energy. The forms of energy are often named after a related force. German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz  established that all forms of energy are equivalent - energy in one form can disappear but the same amount of energy will appear in another form.[2] Energy is subject to a conservation law. Energy is a scalar physical quantity. In the International System of Units (SI), energy is measured in joules, but in some fields other units such as kilowatt-hours and kilo-calories are also used.

Any form of energy can be transformed into another form. When energy is in a form other than thermal energy, it may be transformed with good or even perfect efficiency, to any other type of energy" - from wikipedia

So if matter is neither created nor destroyed, then everything must be  a displacement of energy. We are alive, we are forms of energy. I think we are unique, the entities in which we now live are unique and un-repeated forms of energy that will never happen again. We only have our one life to live as uniquely this form of energy.

But when we die, as far as I understand it, DMT floods the brain and this is the last experience everybody has when we die. I think, when we die, DMT is transferring us into an awareness of everything else with DMT in it, we just become aware of everything, everything that is real, everything that has or had DMT in it.

So, I think we create our own heaven or hell on earth, by limiting ourselves to being so locked into our own perspective, and not really listening or thinking about other peoples perspective. I think it is in listening to other people's perspective, and really thinking and considering what they say, and why they say it, and who they are, that we become closer to heaven on earth. But i think heaven or hell can only exist on earth. So, if we keep destroying the earth, and keep fearing each other, and fearing the apocalypse, that we will achieve that apocalypse because we never took the time to really consider what we are doing, or who we are, as a whole. 

As a collective part of the whole earth. We are all small little forms of energy, that will have a beginning and end, but that energy does not end, it continues on, and will become something or somebody else that is unique. So, the more we are aware of eachother and the world, the closer we will get to being aware of what causes us happiness or sadness, or emotions in general. Through knowledge, we learn to not be so scared of eachother. 

Through communicating our ideas, sharing, and collaborating, and really considering eachother's perspective, that is how we become aware of the reality we now exist in. We only have one life to make a difference for the better good of all forms of energy. If we use our energy together, and pay attention to how we are using our energy, we can work for the greater good of everyone and everything. But everyone has to do it together, everyone has to try a little. 

Communication is a form of energy, technology makes this form easier. science and technology can also make our lives easier and longer, and who doesn't want to stay alive to keep experiencing and learning all we can in this one life we have to live. Life is now. Yes, death will eventually happen, but that is not the important thing, it is the life we are living right now that is important. Time and energy don't stop, but if we keep just thinking about how we can best get ahead as singular entities, rather than thinking about how we can best get ahead as a whole, we will all go to hell. There are many ppl I think that are already living in hell, and the only way to get out of it, is to stop thinking about one's own self so much, and go out of the way to help other ppl out. Say hello to other ppl, get to know them. Know their name, know their face, recognize they are alive and part of the whole collective. We are all just humans, we are all just living right here, right now, on earth. We can all do what we can in this one life-time to make things better for everyone in this life-time, and in the life-times to come, for our children too. But not just our genetically given children, everyone's children.

  1. I like your idea of not being afraid. Fear is one of the most common reasons people choose to act. Many people act out of fear of what others might think about them, or fear of what might happen or not happen if they do not act a certain way. When we look at life everything we do is to reduce anxiety (or smaller fear). We work to reduce the anxiety of not eating tommorow, we play to reduce the anxiety of being bored, we learn to reduce the anxiety of being bored or of being ignorant. So fear in some form or other becomes a motivator for much of our actions. Your fear of not being recognized by others for your ideas creates some of your unhappiness. In fearing that others will not appreciate what you believe or write you in some way place them in power over you. Know that your thoughts are your own and that whether others recognize them or acknowledge them does not have to be the only source of your happiness. The God of my understanding created your uniqueness and loves and acknowledges your brains and beauty beyond even your understanding. Just some of my own thinking for you to ponder

  2. thank you for your thoughts, I do believe your right. I understand that outlining my social theory using the lowest of diction possible has already created some jeers and criticisms of my work, and I accept it because I purposefully chose to write as simply as I possibly could because I wanted my readership to be able to understand a rather complicated line of thinking. And I'm not so scared about a lack of recognition anymore, I've gotten to the point where I honestly don't care. If people want to hate and snicker, I say more power to them because I'm perfectly ok with being picked on a little bit, I certainly don't take myself too seriously. I'm writing a theory, not a fully fact-based scientific claim, and while I think it is a unique idea and perspective, I also recognize it as idealized. For in today's standard of social interaction the theory is un-realistic, and I know that. But, I do believe it is worth pondering the possibilities of change and considering an alternative point of view on reality. I may never get credit for my hard-earned social perspective, but maybe one day I will too. Either way, if people want to adopt a good idea as their own, I am no person to judge them for it. However, I just hope I can continue to hold onto my identity as a unique, intelligent artist with a quiet demeanor and a passion for knowledge. My perspective is one that merits the quirks and ticks of people for being their crazy, silly, hot-headed, fool acting selves. And I accept myself as being just as queer and normal as everyone else is, and if there is a God,I think s/he'd be alright with who I am today :)

  3. Jessica,

    I think you are perhaps closer to compelling concepts than you give yourself credit for. In the 1944 film "Between Two Worlds," Sydney Greenstreet (of "Maltese Falcon" fame), as an angelic magistrate, observes that while there are many notions about Heaven and Hell, the truth is quite simple, in that we make our own Heaven or Hell in our hearts, and we take it with us wherever we go. Centuries earlier, Milton wrote, "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven." Thus, while communication and interaction, through personal or electronic means, may serve to shape the conclusions reached in the inner mind, these conclusions are certainties for the perceiver, regardless of their merit or logic as determined by others. Thus do bliss, purgatory and damnation alike issue not from a modal perspective garnered through socialization, but from self-assessment alone, as it is the inexorable subjective consideration and categorization of life experiences, including but not limited to interactions with other beings, and not a consensus or vetted reality that lays the foundation of the central chamber. From this, then, arises a paradox, in that the good and evil alike might equally rejoice in their circumstance if they believe, external logic notwithstanding, their actions to be justified and their courses true. Such an outcome is intolerable to proponents of a final reckoning, and popular concepts of a Divine Being arise to defeat the condition. Christ, in the parable of the wheat and the tares, asserts that while God makes the rain fall on the wicked and just, and the wheat and weeds to grow intertwined, at the time of harvest the wheat will be gathered up while the weeds perish. The perfect judge will therefore ensure appropriate outcomes, but this paradigm dodges a troubling question, for can any entity judged damnable by a perfect being truly be punished if it is incapable of grasping or consenting to the logic of its torment, and can any torture pry open the window of introspection in the mind of a degenerate whose penchant for brutality can only be reinforced by the pain of retribution. Perhaps perfect love, or forgiveness, can alter the equation, but these qualities may prove elusive. I hope you continue your fine efforts on this blog, for, as the old proverb goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
