Life After Death

I find this to get very disturbing. Imagine that your entire experience in “heaven” is totally created by you. You interact with people who you’ve known, and have passed before you. These are just creations in your own mind. These aren’t individuals, but creations made by you. They aren’t really there, in fact, they too experienced their own heaven at their moment of death. They imagined years down the road, countless relatives and descendants arriving. It is all fictitious. This infinite amount of time happens instantaneously to the alive, outside observers. In our realm of time (the living realm of which I’m still a member) we have no clue that this person just reached infinity. That now gets back to the assumption, based on this model of afterlife, which declares that how you view yourself plays a major role in shaping your afterlife. If you feel you are ultimately good, and deserve the best; you will have a wonderful life, after death. If you are full of bad thoughts, they will manifest themselves in your mind for infinity.

That is a brief introduction to the haunting theory that makes me unsettled. It is a definite motivator to be the best that one can be, though. Who’s to say if this is the case? Not I. I value all suggestions, and my views change continually. I’ve been working hard on developing a plausible adaptation of afterlife that involves true infinity and a real connection with other individuals, but it is still a tricky one. I would much rather believe in something with more community, but the unfortunate fact is that my mind grabs on to the most plausible and allows that thought to flourish and move itself into the classification of truth.
