Read the Diamond Sutra and chill out.

I simply cannot cope with death and it stresses me out

By growing a mustache in your 30's, according to this picture.

I don't know, but I'm glad I'm not Indian.

I've been having this thought about death and it might be a major cope, and I'm sure a lot of religions, philosophers, and theoretical physicists have already thought about this, but hear me out. If the universe is just one big closed box, with limited matter that just gets infinitely recycled in an infinite cycle of Big Bang - universe expansion - universe death - big bang - universe expansion - universe death, and so on.. - if this cycle repeats for all infinity, that means that over and infinite amount of time, and an infinite amount of universe Cycles, eventually every possible arrangement of matter should occur. So at some point over the course of Infinity, eventually you will exist exactly as you are now, for an infinite amount of times again, and you have already existed exactly as you are for an infinite amount of times. The matter that makes up will inevitably take the exact same form as it does now. That also means that you have been every person that has ever lived and will be every person that will ever live.

There is no fulfillment to be found in living as an individual. Family is the answer. You need to pass on your genes. That's all there is.

stop thinking about it. no point, its always there. if someone slapped the dog shit out of you right now i guarantee all this hippy bullshit gets thrown out the window and now you are in the present dealing with something thats actually real

Accept Christ and escape the cycle.

if i go to heaven, do i get to keep my gains?

>>76333719
NTA, but it depends
When we die we leave behind our physical earthly bodies and we receive new spiritual bodies in Heaven
This spiritual body is immune to the things that the physical body falls to, primarily corruption and decay
Also with the resurrection, when the second coming arrives, all the souls in Heaven will receive a new transformed earthly body based around Christ’s body, again still following the idea of being immune to corruption and decay and death and that
So for me at least, I have reason to believe that in Heaven, we will have perfect bodies based on what our earthly bodies were like, so I assume yes we will keep our gains and possibly be given more

Our universe doesn't have infinite time though, read up on the heat death of the universe.

>something thats actually real
what could possibly be more real than dying bro?

>>76334825
Do you guys just not realize the rebirth and dying cycles that continue on in the image? It is very clearly a representation of Samsara and not just "death."

>>76333459
That thought won't help you on your deathbed. There is no cope for death. It is the ultimate defeat.

>>76332736 (OP)
You’re supposed to shut up and do what you’re told until you die, and then you’ll do it all over again. You don’t get out, and you certainly never go anywhere but right here, right now.
And you can die whenever you’d like, all you have to do is kill yourself.

it happened to me

usually people cope by believing in some fantasy, I wish I could believe in such a happy ending but I just believe in the void of non-existence
