I was sitting in bed last night think if I die what happens to ME and what the **** is ME?

I came to the conclution that once you die, thats it. Dead, nothing more. Yet then I tried to think about me being nothing and I just couldnt. I know sometimes your mind can wander and you can or aleast it seems like you can think of nothing. So how come when you try it just doesnt work.

Now this isnt some kind of life after death crap question. It just simple, why cant my head get round NOTHING?

conciousness exists forever

Got int the phil forum and there's athread there about imagining nothing.
And yeah, you can't know what's gonna be after death, but you'll either find out or you won't care(if your conciousness ceases to exist that is).

Deano
i know for sure that conciousness exists forever

I can empty my mind of all thought, memories, emotions, and sensations. Letting the mind go silent can be difficult, particularly since any effort seems to just cause more business in the mind.

Well..just by putting in some sort of effort you can't.....usually...

My mind goes blank sometimes, when I watch Bush's speeches.

this is what someone looks like when they have successfully crossed the mind's threshold and are actually thinking about nothing:

I came to the conclution that once you die, thats it. Dead, nothing more. Yet then I tried to think about me being nothing and I just couldnt. I know sometimes your mind can wander and you can or aleast it seems like you can think of nothing. So how come when you try it just doesnt work.

Now this isnt some kind of life after death crap question. It just simple, why cant my head get round NOTHING? You can't think of nothing because even after you die you are still something with consciousness........IMO

You can't empty your mind.........because a mind is thought....and to get rid of that is to emptly you brain and not even that.......who's to say what an unconscious person thinks..........NOT POSSIBLE...........The mind is bigger than your being........IMO

I think it's like when you get put out for surgery, you don't dream or anything. You just wake up and suddenly realize that twelve hours just passed. But when you die, you don't wake up to realize it, so you will never know.

I'm able to quiet my mind when I'm doing laps in the pool, or when I'm getting barreled when I go surfing.

I'm really sweet.

As a technique, that's what Meditation is about (or at least one way of thinking of it).

I wonder why Jackie didn't respond. After all, "nothing" doesn't exist inside her mind, so she can't think of it.

Like I said ol' debs, my mind quiets to a single moment; an instant I like to call 'The Now'.

Mystical.

Oooo

Perhaps when we die the mind is finally clean of thoughts, but any state of mind is still a state of consciousness, so perhaps death is like a relaxed state of the mind, like a sleep without dreams.... but its still a state of consciousness.

And this should be at the philosophy forum.

Even if one is dead I believe you cannot stop thinking. Some have said to be in mortal bodies is dead and when not in these we are alive.

Madman_V3N0M
Really who said such stupid things?

debbiejo
People that can see outside the moral skin box. People who can see the that this body is just trappings of layers. And outside those layers are the life of who you are....

Sorry it's just that you used the words: "some have said"

debbiejo
Ok ...... many people feel this way..........paperbag3
