I do not want this to turn into a religious crusade so just comment what you think so others can read it and don't bash other people..

In a nutshell, I believe the intense rush of DMT in your brain at the moment of death will not only provide you a comforting and painless death but may possibly leave you in a permanent dream state. Depending how happy you lived your life will determine if your dream is a "nightmare aka hell" or "positive or beautiful dream aka heaven"

What do you think happens?

body ceases to function

Well besides the obvious Lol..

Do you have any personal ideas or theories?

nope i don't speculate on the subject of the afterlife. not enough to go on

Going to sleep without a dream.

this

what were you before you were born? I think you will return to that once you are dead.

I think you're right about the type of life you have lived dictating whether you go to 'heaven', 'hell', or, more likely, somewhere in between.

I do not believe DMT is the cause of this.

Basically, I believe the spirit goes where it wants when the body dies. People who identify with violence and other evil things will go to their 'hell', while someone who has lived a virtuous life will go somewhere else.

I believe that a sufficiently nurtured soul can return in another body. This is not necessarily easy to achieve.

To me, the concepts of hell and heaven as being a permanent state seems like hogwash.



A person with more life-force may attain a new life. A person with little life-force may experience a shorter afterlife. I believe everyone is sent to the Great Spirit upon death, whereupon they are taught certain lessons and the fate of their afterlife is determined.

"Any person who claims to know what happens after death is either a liar or a fool." - Stephen Fry

well by the very assertion of the quote they cannot be a liar - perhaps i am a fool, but i consider myself at least a conscious fool

/it's not like the afterlife is some impossible equation. certainly some things can be understood through wisdom and even logic.
