【BREAKING NEWS】Afterlife Confirmed to Exist

On an internet forum, a heated discussion about the afterlife was taking place. Anonymous participants were fiercely exchanging opinions on the boundary between science and faith.

People who have returned from cardiac arrest are reportedly providing testimonies of near-death experiences

There are many people who have gone to the other side

• [3]It could be a type of dream seen in an instant when the brain restarts after revival
  That theory exists too
• [7]It does exist. Source: me (lol)
  It’s well known that a world-renowned neurosurgeon has said it exists
  
• [13]For something supposedly well-known, the evidence is laughably thin
  Look up Dr. Eben for details. He’s truly incredible. https://youtu.be/H7lMmgi1Y5E
  
• [14]Wasn’t he talking about tunnels and stuff?
  That seems to vary from person to person

The discussion gradually deepened into metaphysical territory. Scientific and spiritual perspectives intersected on the question of the afterlife’s existence.

• [17]People who believe in the afterlife overestimate human value. Humans are merely flesh machines governed by genes
  If there is an afterlife, it might refute that idea
• [28]No, you’re the one making the estimation error. It’s not about belief, it exists as reality
• [23]If they came back from cardiac arrest, then they weren’t actually dead
• [30]Can your brain and eyes still function when you’re dead? 🤔 That would make general anesthesia pointless 😭
• [37]Please stop, I won’t be able to sleep at night
• [44]Human ego is a system optimized for reproduction through natural selection. Viewing humans as spiritual, sacred beings is presumptuous. There is no afterlife for flesh machines governed by genes

The discussion expanded further to encompass the Eastern concept of reincarnation. Various opinions flew back and forth between Japan’s unique Buddhist perspective and modern science.

• [61]So after death, will you as a person never be reconstituted? Why were you born in the first place? Was it just the movement of matter that caused it? If the universe creates 10^16 more universes after you die, will you never be revived?
• [46]Doesn’t the afterlife become overcrowded with an infinite accumulation of souls?
• [51]There’s no problem because everyone reincarnates except for a few who achieve enlightenment. Souls are like branches and leaves sprouting from a tree trunk; when they fall, they’re reabsorbed as nourishment for the tree
• [60]Humanity has increased by billions, how do you explain that?
• [80]Is the definition of a soul an advanced brain? 🤔 If it’s not about intelligence, then reincarnation could simply happen through insects
• [70]That’s because humans have killed so many other living beings. We’ll receive retribution from the Earth’s environment, leading to human extinction in a few thousand years. Finally, after 5.67 billion years, all souls will achieve enlightenment and this universe will disappear. Right now is a chance time for enlightenment as God is sifting through souls
• [49]In the end, we’re just a collection of cells, a mechanism that breaks down. The broken mechanism is just a lump of matter
• [52]Reincarnation definitely exists. Adults with messed up ethics are probably on their first human life
• [56]Is there really reincarnation?
• [66]Humans vary quite a bit in quality. It’s the difference in experience points accumulated in the soul
• [77]So even though there’s no memory of past lives, experience points are accumulated in the soul?
• [92]That’s right. Memories of past lives are erased so they don’t interfere with progressing smoothly in the next life, but the soul vaguely remembers and that helps you become an exceptional person

The discussion shifted from philosophical questions to more existential anxieties. People’s candid feelings about confronting death began to emerge.

• [54]Whether the afterlife really exists or not will affect how I live from now on, so someone please figure it out
• [55]Even if it exists, you might not be able to go there again, and we don’t know if everyone goes to the same place
• [63]The afterlife is the world after death. If you’re not dead, it’s not the afterlife
  Cardiac arrest is essentially death. It’s just that there’s no death certificate from a doctor
• [78]Just because your heart and lungs stopped doesn’t mean you’re dead. That’s why doctors don’t declare death
• [72]We’re only conscious for about 80 years while alive, but after death, it’s eternal nothingness with no awakening. It’s terrifying. When I think about it before sleep, I feel like I’m going crazy
• [89]It’s just like being in a deep sleep 😇
• [83]This is what it’s apparently like. https://youtu.be/MslEp7ilnOA
• [84]I heard doctors are more likely to believe in the afterlife. I think it exists too, while somewhat believing in the existence of the soul while also denying it
  It probably exists. Otherwise near-death experiences can’t be explained
• [111]Watch the video I posted ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)و
• [86]If the afterlife actually existed, I would kill all the gods and erase this world, so it can’t be real
• [98]The afterlife is 99% nonexistent, but believing in it to numb the fear of death is definitely beneficial

The discussion gradually expanded from metaphysical domains to contemporary technology theories. Modern perspectives like the simulation hypothesis began to emerge.

• [104]It probably exists. I believe in the simulation hypothesis, so I think this world is just data
• [107]The boundary between religion and science is ambiguous. Proteins and electrical signals can explain things, but at the same time, the fact that we exist without issues is itself mysterious and occult
• [122]Since we can’t freely observe it, it doesn’t matter whether it exists or not
• [124]I don’t think the mind or self-awareness emerges solely from electrical signals in nerves. I think it’s somewhere else, and after death, we unite with a higher-dimensional Mother CPU
• [126]Why do you think there’s no afterlife? Your origin is a fertilized egg that died. Further back, you were single-celled, nitrogen, hydrogen. Originally you were burned and crushed at a dimensional singularity. That’s how you were born. Is there no reproducibility in your life? Are you some kind of god??
  Modern medicine hasn’t fully understood the brain yet. It wouldn’t be surprising if the afterlife exists. In fact, there are many scholars who say it does
  

The discussion deepened to the intersection of scientific limitations and religious perspectives. A discussion evolved that merged Japan’s unique concept of “the other world” with the Western “afterlife.”

• [144]Modern science is imprisoned by materialism due to the interference of the “proof” process. Human scientific power is child’s play compared to the mechanics of the grand universe, yet we absolutize it and fall into the dilemma of being unable to escape the material dimension in our thinking
• [155]What are you talking about? Tell me about an episode where you observed and understood human death. Humans aren’t even alive in the first place, so there’s no such thing as death
• [163]That’s right. Life and death are illusions created by humans. If you truly want to understand this, have faith, abandon your ego, and humbly observe the world
• [135]Well, emotionally speaking, it’s more fun if it exists, and it actually makes me try harder in this life
• [161]The concepts of life and death are ambiguous to begin with
• [162]It would be nice if people with near-death experiences all said the same thing, but everyone says something different… By the way, only Japanese people see the Sanzu River in near-death experiences, and only Christians see Jesus Christ. I wonder why…
• [170]This world and the next are all in the realm of ideas, so that’s why. If you’re freshly dead, images from your previous life will be recreated. For the same reason, the world that’s recreated varies according to your mental state in your previous life. This is the truth behind the six realms of reincarnation
• [174]Perhaps just like this world, the afterlife also has countries, areas, or denominations. Maybe the jurisdiction changes depending on where you die. If a Japanese person dies in America, their soul is handled by that jurisdiction, and they decide to reincarnate you in America, something like that

The discussion gradually moved toward conclusion, with each person expressing their own view of life and death. The complex emotions of modern people oscillating between science and faith were glimpsed.

• [181]Maybe consciousness actually continues even after death. Well, once you’re cremated and turned to ash, that’s the end though
• [185]But a religious afterlife probably doesn’t exist. Even if something exists, I don’t think it would be in a form where the self remains intact. Like the body, the mind probably follows a flow like tap water returning to the sea
• [199]Those who believe we become nothing after death are scientific authoritarians who believe in the authority of doctrine, not true scientists. True scientists, as a result of continued contemplation, realize the limitations of science and return to God. Hawking, Edison, and Nikola Tesla were all like that
• [76]Forget all that and think about how you’re going to live tomorrow
