Star Me Kitten posted:I used to have this daydream that I missed my own death somehow and was living some kind of solipsistic afterlife that I was not aware of. Like my brain activity in the last few minutes of my life somehow surpassed the constraints of time and what was perhaps 7 minutes of activity was perceived as an eternity by me... or just an endless string of time where I think I am still alive. I bet that daydream would be even more compelling if rather than missing your death you had clear memories of experiencing it yet are still apparently alive. For instance, if at age 17 you had made a suicide attempt that should have been extremely damaging even in the event of its failure, but then you woke up the next day in your bed completely unscathed. Especially if your bed was nowhere near your final location the night before. If you were sure you did the thing and didn't hallucinate, dream or memory error it up, since those don't ever involve real pain and as crystal clear a recollection. I bet it would be especially compelling if there was some concrete evidence that bed wasn't your final location, for instance if your car remained in the distant location you had left it in with no realistic path to you making it home and into bed without it. All that would for sure make you question your reality, I imagine.

I once worked with a guy who, on the third or fourth day of training, casually brought up that years prior he had clinically died and been resuscitated twice from misadventures (once was drowning, I think) - and it changed him, big time. Or should I say, the first time did it, the stuff he saw and experiences while he was gone. He wouldn't go into specifics because "a lot of it was personal and hard to describe"* but talking to him about it wasn't like talking to a believer; it was like talking to someone who knows something, who (pardon the pun) lived through a major event. This would be one thing - as would the fact that those who also worked there for years with him before it happened would easily and readily testify how everything about him changed after he returned to his daily life - but the real kicker, I think, is when it happened the second time. He said that it was pretty much the same thing as before. Kind of akin to when you visit a city you've never been to, and then go back years later, the fundamentals of the place that make it what it is are all still there. Now, what are the odds of it being a vision, delusion, or otherwise internal brain fantasy, when it was more or less the same thing the second time around? You hear of those on their deathbeds seeing visions of light, you also hear dismissive types chalking that up to the brain's synapses misfiring before shutting down. I think if it were the brain misfiring, it would be random stuff both times, and certainly not a tangible experience he could recollect. You should have seen this guy - nothing really got him down. There was a spring in his step, an inflection in his voice. He'd try to have friendly chats with everyone he met. There was nothing about him that was "questionable", you know? Like he wasn't mentally ill or foolish or whatever. Just like the rich don't fret about paying their bills, he didn't really worry about anything because he knew that in the end, it's all good (and not really a total "end"). Which brings me to the * part: "Fair enough," I said when he declined to go into the personal details about what happened to him on the other side. "But it was good, right?" "Oh yeah. It was very good. I think all of it was good. And the second time confirmed that it'll still be good when I go back." How many testimonies of near-death experiences are there? How many people do you know personally who've gone through something like that? Let alone TWICE in a lifetime? Here's one thing you CAN be sure of: I wouldn't have wasted my time typing all this out if I were making all that up. That's literally the story of someone I once met.

Let me tell you a story an advertising mascot once told me, by my bedside, when I lost all I knew. It doesn't matter if the now is real or not, because the now is already gone. Only the effects it has on the future are meaningful. I've been through things that should have, at best, left me intubated forever. I woke up... here. It's all more than a little wrong, a lot worse than I knew it, it all hurts and wears on my skin and nerves like an endless stream of sand in the air, leaving me raw, ragged, and too exhausted to even be angry. But it doesn't matter. At the end of it all, it only matters who you were, to yourself, and what you've learned. I don't know why I know it. There is no logic, no chain of reasoning. It's a should, not an is, and it is the only should I know - and I know it's the only should I can know. I don't know why I know, but I know I know.

What if Heaven is like that high school party at the popular kids house that you inexplicably got invited to? Like, God's cool, but he doesn't really know who you are, and He and His real friends all spend the whole night upstairs making out and drinking liquor while you sip warm beer in the basement with the two chubby girls who keep whispering to each other and giggling and the guy who won't stop talking about Megadeth, except that it's eternity?

You can at least make out with the chubby girls, and Megadeath has some good songs.
