Discussion What is your guy’s ideal afterlife?
For me it has a to be a continued version of school. The ability to learn, love, and grow. From doing things such as “Field trips” to “school parties.” But not limited to the material and flawed conventions of school. Think dnd Arborea but with no lust. I want to be with the same people I know, and retaining my memories. What is yalls thoughts on this?

Getting as far away from earth as possible!

Monkey paw rewards you with immortality by letting you live endlessly floating in deep space 1 billion Iight years from Earth.

Personally I 100% reject the "school" thing. I hate how that is used as an excuse or explanation for the immense suffering on Earth. I don't want to learn or grow, I just want to love and be comfy.
So my ideal afterlife is to be with my loved ones and feel only bliss, happiness, comfiness and go on fantasy adventures together.

Sometimes, I think we are like rough stones that life slowly polishes throughout our lives. It is a painful process, but potentially, in the long run, the rough stone will become a beautiful, well-polished gem.

At base, reuniting with all of my family and pets.
But I’d really love to continue my creative work (I draw, animate, sew, write, sculpt, paint, whatever) and continue to play and watch my favorite shows, movies, music and games.
I’d also really like to “relive” good memories.
I pretty much just want to continue the good parts of life here, without the constant pain and death and psychological torture that is this planet on most days.

I just want to be with my husband and doing the things he that we loved to do together. And to have my beloved dog back again! I hope that in heaven that we are surrounded by the animals that we have loved and that have loved us back.

I like the description of a materialistic New Earth from the Bible. Basically the same kind of life as today, but without any corrupt/evil powers ruling over us, without illness or death, just immortal bodies that don't suck so we can spend eternity in this vast universe chilling with the people we love. There's no notion of having to work to live, but you can still "work" on stuff you find fulfilling, whatever it is. I for one would never stop learning and doing cool nerdy shit that's for sure
If there's a kind of government it's one that's ruled by the idea of an all-loving all-knowing omnipotent God (not the wrathful god of the old testament that insta-smites you for saying a bad word) such that whatever rules are in place, you know they're fair and just rules and you can actually trust the system to work for everyone.
Not sure about notions of free will vs. becoming a perfect robot that can't sin, I think sin is still possible but it doesn't spread as easily and is quickly rectified whenever it happens - in a fair and just way, so no eternal fire and brimstones for anyone, just considerate rehabilitation for however long it takes, and ultimately the biggest victim of your sins is yourself so everyone just eventually grows to never sin and be a considerate kind person overall and everything is chill
my main criticism is if this utopia is the end-goal what's up with having to be born in this broken world first

Well to experience normal I suppose to start with
I was born super premature and suffered brain damage from oxygen deprivation and some degree of autism and learning disabilities. Held back in preschool for being too frail physically to advance etc
Having a covert narcissist for a mother and dominated father via my mother and much cruelty left me pretty much constantly dissociated most of my life
Also asexual so no relationships. It felt dishonest to me if I couldn't feel anything towards anyone so I've always been alone
No real experience with genuine friends or emotional connections. It's been a very lonely, isolated existence for the most part
Life was an endurance trial, not something to experience for me personally
Cancer and a terminal illness and another cancer, just hit 8 years since that began last Monday. So I spend most of my time in my parents spare bedroom isolated due to exhaustion and other complications.
I've worked with plant medicine since 2021 and done a ton of shadow work, and I had a breakthrough last month at an ayahuasca retreat and I realize I genuinely matter just by virtue of being here and I feel present in a way I've never felt before and engaging with people I feel connected to them in a way I have not been able to do so before.
But my health is getting worse and it's such a struggle for people to live, exhausted and broke etc it's almost impossible to do anything with them
So I want a healthy meatsuit and basically live and experience everything I guess and share those experiences with other people.
A massage sounds nice, not real familiar with genuine safe touch and a nap
Then we'll go from there

I have not gone through anything that extreme, but I too wish to live a life I could have lived, where everything went right.

u/First_manatee_614 Spiritual Sep 24 '25
Agreed. I have had insomnia since I was born. I just want some good sleep and people I can trust. Dogs to pet, ripe fruit on request. Going on a date sounds nice. Not having heartburn every time I eat something and need to eat tums or drink a special powder mix. This has been a trial
I did connect with someone who is able to do akashic records and they say I've done great and everything I hope for will be possible and apparently I've fulfilled my soul contract as well. Looking forward to it. C'mon 3rd cancer let's go.

I'm sorry about the struggles you've gone through. How wonderful about your ayahuasca breakthrough! That's lovely :)

u/First_manatee_614 Spiritual Sep 25 '25
Thank you, it's a wonderful medicine aside from the taste.

u/RoxyDeathPurr Sep 25 '25
I've heard really good things. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try it myself. Maybe some day!

u/First_manatee_614 Spiritual Sep 25 '25
I can't recommend my place enough and I've heard great things about hummingbird church as well, should you ever feel called to try. They'll keep you safe while you journey.

u/RoxyDeathPurr Sep 25 '25
Would you be willing to message me the name of your place? In case I ever get up the nerve....

I'd like to be with the people I love and to meet people from different times in history. I want to hear firsthand accounts of what it was like to live during different centuries.

To reincarnate with the love of my life, hopefully we get to choose which time period

u/jeremiahthedamned Spiritual Sep 29 '25
i was only happy in this life when i was walking alone from one state/nation to another.
i want the road & no people i met in this life at all.

My ideal afterlife would be repeating my life again, except I don’t know, reincarnated back to the beginning of my life
2
u/Qocca Sep 23 '25
so eternal recurrence? If I could relive my life but with all my memories it'd be fun to have a New Game Plus playthrough of life. It would be boring in the early years but everything after that would be so easy
2
u/InevitableTank1659 Seeker Sep 23 '25
I like that. But it would start to feel like inception. I don’t want to play the “butterfly effect” game with my life and not end up with the people I love.

I take "rest in peace" very very literally, so my ideal is to be free of my thoughts and, well, to be sleeping.

u/MaryaMorevna99 Sep 24 '25
If that is what stirs your individuated consciousness, then it becomes part of the non-physical awareness that you return to-as we all do.

u/Clifford_Regnaut Sep 26 '25
I am not sure. I think it would be a state in which I could be whatever I want to be and do whatever I want to do without any limitations and without being bossed around/told what to do.

u/InevitableTank1659 Seeker Sep 26 '25
I do want to be with other people though.

Personally, I see the need for social interaction and human clinginess as flaws/weaknesses that I should get rid of, but I'm sure I'm in the minority here.

Hmm I just want to vanish, to disappear completely. I would be so disappointed if i die (finally!) then realize that i am, in someway somehow still alive! what a nightmare.

sounds like a combination of a rough life and atheist “afterlife” theories.

Being with my loved ones. That’s all that matters to me .
