How Do You Know You're Alive

I don't know shit. Just because I see other presumed dead bodies,I should now just assume I'll be one of those. No, no. No one knows they're dead, all you think you know is you're alive. What does it feel like being dead. You don't know. 

You don't know what it feels but you know that your body is going to be a dead thing in some moment 

[Princess Arabia]

Electricity and batteries makes electronics come alive, other than that they're just there. Plug a vacuum in it becomes "alive". Was it dead before. Is it alive now when plugged in. Is it neither. It doesn't have a heart and a lung and kidneys, is that the difference. What if you're nothing but energy plugged in and you're neither dead nor alive. Having a heart proves nothing.

Who will be there to know that, you? Certainly not me.

Maybe you are energy. And maybe that energy cannot be destroyed. And maybe that energy is intelligent. Hmm.

Babies are alive but they aren’t self conscious. I’d say being alive is the same as body being alive, it’s a state of the body. You can be in coma unconscious but still alive. 
 

But you KNOW you’re alive because you are conscious and understand the concept of what it means to be alive. A baby might be conscious but not of itself or the concept of being alive so it doesn’t know its alive

Maybe it’s just as simple as that there’s stuff happening, or seemingly happening, and your witness to it, or seemingly so. So we say there’s shit going on, and I’m experiencing it in some form, whether by sight, touch, whatever. So we claim to be alive. You don’t know your alive as you are when your fast asleep. But when you are asleep and dreaming, you think that you know you’re alive as yourself in that particular dream. And since this is a dream, you think you know you’re alive as this human now. So I guess we could say that it’s not you as a body/mind that is alive, it’s the whole dream in its entirety that is alive, we’ve just mistaken ourselves to be this seeming central part of it that we seem to be more consciously aware of and more in control of, rather than the whole scene of the dream itself. The dream is mind, and the body is a part of it. Dream on, alive, dream off.. dead. Considering time and space are held within the dream, when it’s off, there’s no time, no space, zero/infinity. So that’s why your always here, all the time, eternally, dream after dream after dream, with no gaps in between. You exist, outside of time, creating time through dreams within dreams. Your just nowhere and everywhere. Your always alive, consciousness is alive and can only be alive. As what? Well that’s up to you, the real you, the God you, not the you that you as God are currently dreaming of being.

Being alive is not something you know, its something you are. It precedes knowledge and language.

@Oppositionless No i didnt see my body at all reality kept looping 5 second over and over and i was puking and i was going down my throat and then there was nothing. I was in a void of nothing and I was freaking out. Imagine like a bubble bubbling with terrible abandonment emotions. You have a realization you are dead and you freak out and you cant scream or hear or cry but you want too and the emotions like bubble and bubble without popping they become immense in size until you cannot 'physically' handle it and then your bubble pops and you are brain dead staring at nothing(like sleeping). Then after a time you realize you are brain dead staring at nothing and start to freak out again. This process happens forever and slowly gets less and less intense until you realize you are staring at a void of nothing and are dead and you stop reacting and then the knowing you are dead and not knowing you are dead converge into one void of nothing. Then I randomly woke up in my body the next morning. I could have woken up in any body I could have been born coming out a vagina and wouldnt have known what happend thats how long it felt like I was dead. You must become the void to respawn. That means no freaking out. The hard part is you dont know if you will freak out.

Sort of like when you are dead you still have states of awake and asleep both are the same just in one state you know you are there. You have the same amount of time in the day staring at the void and you cannot interact or see or hear but you are still there. Then you will go to sleep in the void its the exact same state just staring at nothing. Then you will enter a state where you become aware that you are staring at a void of nothing and have been forever and you will get upset. Repeat this process 10 000 times until when you wake up your mind is in the same state as when you are sleeping and reality becomes just a void existing without questioning it. Now you reached God mode.

Reality is like a void of nothing and a bubble with pictures in it the void makes the bubble and pretends it exists in it it has colours and others and things to do. One day the voids bubble pops and its left seeing the truth that it was just a bubble.

This is just my experience I am not saying its 100 percent factual I have no idea what will happen when you die it could be fun we have no idea.

In my theory there is  a state where you totally calm down spiritually and then you get to play with infinite bubble worlds forever there is just hurdles to get over emotionally. I feel like I had that experience to burn through karma. I had to feel that feeling to awaken its part of emptying your cup. Everyone has a hole in them that they cannot get out. That hole is intense negative spiritual emotion. Its pure abandonment.

Its not about the void being bad and scary its about your reaction to being abandoned by everyone and everything. Gods like a baby that is crying and it can hear and see everyone else gets to go out and play and it cant.

What I think Sadhguru means about nde is that you cant die and nde of someone flying off to a mystical land is the person dying then starting another bubble. They all go to the void and then they start making another life. So Nde isnt like a fact its the person popping their bubble then going to the void and then they start making another bubble and then something in the new bubble tells them they have to start making the other bubble they made before they 'died' so they do it.

I've been seen by over 100 mental health professionals in my lifetime. How I am still alive today is way beyond me!

I would not be surprised if most of them are dead by now. I promise I didn't kill them!! I'm a sweet innocent child
