Death - last breath

[MatureKing]

Process of dying body is not so terrible... But what about when your your body comes to the last step ... When your soul leaves body... Interesting... You make your last breath... Or you don't feel nothing already at this time?

[TheLegacy]

I've been around many who have died including my own family. The "last breath" generally if peaceful and usually under meds for pain. Best way to describe it would be falling asleep and entering into a dream world but it's different in that you can see what's around you. Even the most horrific deaths still have the same ending - soul detaches from body so no pain is linked - you may feel sorrow or unfinished business but the pains body - not really.

Fear is the biggest thing to overcome to anyone who hasn't come to terms with their mortality - thinking a party or they'll be with their friends doing whatever or on the othr end - they turn into nothingness.

Now if you think you turn into nothingness - then coming to terms with never thinking again or being conscience - that's it. To me that's more scary.

the problem is not dying, but what leads to it. It sucks!

A friend from school died last month.

On the plus side, her boobs were much firmer to play with and I got a few pounds selling her gold teeth. A real pain to pull out though.

Nothingness isn't that scary. Think of it this way: what was it like before you were born? You were nothing then and it wasn't so bad right?

I also find comfort in this quote:

Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it’s there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It’s a wave.

And then it crashes in the shore and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it’s one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it’s supposed to be.

After that, the man goes into agony. It's a matter of luck - you'll be in pain for few minutes or an hour... Haven't you seen how people die?

you are in Thailand. you already know what is next unless you are in denial. spend next rainy season in the mountains with the monks. they'll point at what's next... i think my father-in-law hit the other side of the lake, cuz no one has felt his energy since death, but who knows. he had a pretty clean soul and he was way beyond any want or need...

I was up there and I didn't feel anything

I almost told to JesseQuinn to put you on a suicide watch list the other day . . .

MK is doing fine. we were both having a tough time the other day so we read some Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf together and that cheered us right up

happy 2024 to you both, live it up!

You can breath out one final time long after youre dead though, which is probably a shock to unknowing bystanders xD

I don't think there is pain involved in dying. The nature has it covered pretty well. There are substances the body seems to be sending to the brain to make it feel like being on drugs.

Passing over isn't quite what folks expect. It's like stumbling upon forgotten fragments of memory, glimpses from the depths of the past, not the expected highlight reel of life's best moments. It holds a certain enigmatic quality, shrouded in mystery and far from the anticipated journey.

And those who return from the brink often bear haunting tales. There's a mysterious aura surrounding their near-death experiences, tales that linger in the shadows, waiting to be unveiled.

I get the same feeling when I take a lot of drugs.
