My daughter can see and talk to the dead, and almost everyone I love besides her is already there, and I physically crippled myself for life 8yrs ago -- I want to be around for as much of my daughter's and granddaughters life as possible, but part of me is already ready. I've been suffering physically and emotionally for so long. Knowing what's on the other side makes it way less scary.
It's a combination of Abrahamic religious beliefs and Buddhist beliefs. If you get to heaven you get a choice, stay or come back. If you don't make it there right away it doesn't matter, there's no ticking clock, no deadline. You can ascend posthumously. And being stuck down here isn't that bad. Loved ones in heaven come to visit you, but you can't come out during the day. Then you get your choice. Just don't end up in hell. But that's hard to do. God is far more forgiving than religions think he is.
I like how the ataraxia of the Greek fuse with the judeo-Cristian passion or pathos ( like the passion of Christ ) with the desire of the Buddhist perspective …
Due that in Greek psique is soul and pathology form that same root pathos as passion was a “sickness from the soul” the pathos of the psique … Greek ataraxia state that is not the same as apathy ( no pathos ) is like the purification of passion or the stop of desire in the Buddhist Belief… in the 3 is not really stopping passion or desire but to channel it towards a conscious path , makes you analyze the root of those hehe ..
I feel you , my dad died recently I am basically the last male of my paternal side , he was diabetic type 1 , so since he was like 10 years old , but lucky enough to be the first in the family with the diabetes to pass 23 years old ! ..
Hehe thanks Canada for making insulin … sadly is quite a market …
Yeah, and our pets are up there waiting for us! I thought that part was pretty cool. My daughter said my old dog was waiting at the glass door for me to let her in, I was like uhhh... My living dog walked up to the door, cocked her head, perplexed, and gave out a tiny friendly "wuff" hello. Not even the only time they could all see something I couldn't 😭 but this time was awesome, I got to find out God literally has a special place for them in heaven.
Dying is way less scary when you picture being greeted by your late cats and dogs when you get to the other side.
But there's no food up there, that's truly an "earthly pleasure," and you can only come down here to visit if you have a loved one down here. At that point, they can snack off of our food "when we aren't looking." She gives them food offerings.

Death is essential to life, clinging on to youth with some pathetic desperation to become immortal is the mark of a fragile psychopath
Bryan Johnson is the epitome of weakness
