Mind Game: “Nothingness” & When We Die

This was actually something that came to me when reading someone’s post on a forum online. Specifically the post below I found rather interesting coming from someone who’s living and hadn’t died:

This person obviously is speaking out of the side of their neck and expecting people to just take whatever he says without question as the absolute. People who share the same mindset as DH are the people who have a rather difficult time dealing with the fact that they really just don’t know. So the thing that feels most comfortable to them is to develop a belief that there is nothing based on absolutely “nothing,” and wanting followers of that belief (basically starting a religion in itself) while others feel comfortable believing there is something. Here is another example of people who think like DH.

We are a big bag of water and chemicals. Face it. The same water and chemicals in thier molecular form where here sinse the begining of time, It only does this function because they are in a certain order. When we die they cease to be in that order and cease to carry out that function.

After you die will be the same as before you were born, Nothing. Absolutely nothing. You stop completely. There is no “you” to carry on, There is only elecrical impulses and brain waves. When they stop, You stop.

Again, how can you possibly even begin to take the word of someone who is still living and has not died? Just a person who created a belief based on “nothing” and looking for followers of that belief.

Personally, I don’t believe on either side whether there’s some afterlife or not. Making that clear from the jump! I’m just going to “wait” to see and experience (if possible) for myself when I’m dead and gone.

My response to both of them was:

“I’ve got a quick question that has a simple answer to these so-called truths by folks like Xots floating around that will put a screeching halt to that nonsense. Because I’m not impressed by it at all, no offense.

The Universal Absolute Truth to what happens when we die can be summed up in less than five words that I’m sure everyone including people like Xots would agree on whether they admit it or not.

The question: Does anybody care to share what that sentence is putting it in its most accurate form possible rather than its short form?

And unfortunately nobody knew the answer to my question. Nobody even had a single clue. It was just quiet! How pathetic. So I left the conversation since apparently they weren’t on my level, yet. And the thing is, it’s real simple. Maybe people were too intimidated to post a reply; giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway, on to the game I came up with. This sort of mind game is a random line of thoughts that entered my mind when reading that post on a thread titled ‘Do You Believe In the Next Life?’ Have fun with it. You can either post your answers to the statement at the very end or just ponder on it for a quick minute for the sake of a little game for the mind.

=======================================================

 

Nothingness is no thing put together
adding ness to make it sound “pretty”
if it’s no thing
it’s “not” yet been defined
at least not by “mankind”
since “nothing” can’t truly and accurately be defined by the human mind
who would of thought there was something beyond the sky
to discover there’s planets and a “galaxy”
proof of a “world” we call “space” - outer space
but before I’m sure people thought there was “nothing”
“nothingness”
there’s that word again
so “nothing” is really something
in order to be called “nothing” or “nothingness” to begin with
which means it has been defined as something
also leading to a contradictory statement you made
when you meant to mean one thing but it actually means the opposite of what you meant it to be initially.

 

So if nothingness exists when we die that means there is something that really exists;
not the “you” of the earth but the “you” in what’s said to be “nothing” and is.

 

The fact that you don’t really know nor anyone for that matter
is the reason why it exists,
which is odd when “we” created it
but for sure that which was just said
tells us that there is nothing
no thing that we’d ever seen
yet

 

because nothingness is something
for the simple fact that “we” named it such
“undefined” ’til further notice

 

nothingness
nothing (’ness’)
no thing
no

 

A mathematical play on words.

 

Find the flaw, post it and then perfect it.
