Imaginary Afterlife

I like to imagine all kinds of scenarios about what it may be like, to experience my death. No point in talking about the one where there is nothing , for I would never know anything beyond my last thought.

I like to imagine a transition that looks like this : You’ll see all the ones who you connected with the most gathering to welcome you. Time no longer creates the illusion of separation, so you may see your dearest childhood friend talking to your Grandparents about your arrival. Your dogs and cats will be playing with your families and friends , but there are no faces , and they aren’t in any one place. You’ll see them everywhere and realize that their external layers you knew so well when you were alive were just a reflection. Now they shine like the stars and their colors remind you of sunrises you once saw.

They are all talking at once, yet there is no confusion about what is being said. And they won’t be saying great job with this or shame on that. It will be more like a chorus of hoorays that sounds like nothing but love itself. As they cheer, you will realize that you no longer have any questions or concerns about the meaning of life. It is not so much that you hear answers in their songs, the melodies are so familiar you realize what you have always known.

I would love to hear from you in the comments regarding what you think it could be like to transition from this life into the eternal mystery.
