hello all ma NB members, i got a lil thread idea i wanna put together. i had come a crossed an article, or overheard a convo, or w/e it was today at work that basically revolved around life and death. i immediately had an inner reflection/ convo with myself about the matter in my head. years ago, i use to be afraid of death. i wouldn't eat, i wouldn't sleep, i just thought about death all the time. i didn't wanna die, and as a kid i couldn't figure out a way to stop it. my mom started to worry after telling her what was going on, so she had me meet with a psychiatrist twice a week. blah blah blah to make a long story short, eventually i got over the fear.....
actually, i kinda went in the complete opposite direction with it. some few years back, in my early adulthood, i went through an extremely rough patch. i was an alcoholic and heavily depressed. i had brought myself to a dark place, where i honestly welcomed death with open arms. i flourished in convo's concerning it, and even researched a lot about death. i was ready and willing to die without any cause at all.
after a while, the feeling and sentiment for death had passed, and i had come to understand and accept death, just as equally as i have life. i have written all this today to post a few theories on the meaning of life and death, and to ask you all a question.
i have come full circle on the topic of these two and i have convinced myself that my theory is how it is, but i also had thought up another plausible one earlier today.
theory #1= i personally feel like life as a whole, each and everyone, is a combination lock essentially. to achieve the right combination to segments, we have to do things the right way or achieve certain goals that our souls were assigned. if we do not fulfill these tasks completely or sufficiently, then we receive the wrong combination for that segment of the lock. at some point in time, these incorrect segments will come back around in a new form for us to attempt to complete again. only in the completion of this combination lock, are our souls allowed their freedom. if we should pass before the lock is completed, then your soul is doomed to return to this plane to live out the same life yet again.
theory#2= in the same concept of ghost running around haunting the living because they have unfinished business, what if we were the wandering souls with unfinished business? our physical bodies,senses, and everything around us is something we have collectively fabricated through thought. what if we have to completed something in order for use to be released from this plane? in saying that, what if death really isn't death? we've created a stigma about the soul leaving the body that horrifies the masses. but what if that's what we want and don't remember it? what if death...is actually our souls coming into the life we are meant to be in? for all we know this could be a practice run or something.
so, my question to each and every one of my base mates, is what are your views/theories on life and death?
*This is not a thread about arguing religion or anything of the sorts. if you believe in any kind of religion, that is your prerogative. i would appreciate it if the posts contained in this thread do not consist one religion bashing another. thank you all
