What is non existing

[chadwick_90]

Have you ever had a dreamless night of sleep. When your asleep but not having a dream, what is it? I think thats what it was like before you existed. When your mom was a child,what and where were you. What would the existence be of you before your life started. Was everything just black. Well black is somthing and somthing is existing. What is nothing. If something is not existent what is it. Its hard to fathom.

1) regardless of what dreams you may or may not remember, your brain is always at work. If your brain is inactive, so are you... forever.

2) stay off the shrooms

you are always doing some sort of dreaming, whether you remeber the dream or not. and as far as not existing, it is an idea impossible to fathom and i have spent alot of time just trying to imagine not existing, but it is impossible to do. all i know is that its gonna suck.

[chadwick_90]

its hard for me to fathom eternity also. Just the thought of NEVER ending. Its crazy.

Its only hard to fathom if you want to make it complicated, before you were you, you simply werent.
To have a chance at answering your question you must know what you are now. As coldly as I can put it is that you are a dynamicly changing addiction. Basicly there is a series of things your body(mind included) wants and is actively seeking while adapting the definition of what it is that is being sought. This framework of needs makes you, you, and without this framework in place i.e. if you didnt exist yet it would only mean that you simply werent. No void or blackness or anything, just no you. Honestly, how would you expect to experience your time before you were born if you did not have a brain? If you think your not a product of your brain, go and research what happens when differnt parts of you brain are lost.

exactly, it is impossible to imagine not-existing beccause when you dont exist there is nothing to inmagine. the human mind can imagine just about any scenario or concept except this one. its like an oxy-moron. I get a headache trying to do it, cause its essentially impossible.

conservation of energy. energy cannot be created or destroyed. in some form or another you have exsisted. You were born of matter, which was born of matter, which was... yeah, which essentially has existed infinite. right now you just happen to be aware of yourself because your energy is in it's current state. In some form or another, you will exsist infinite.
How is that so incomprehensible?

I know what your getting at though. when you sleep and you don't dream, and eight hours fly by, that must be what it's like to be dead. Well, your right. Sweet observation. opcorn:

Imo, that'll be the only thing you'll ever experience after death.
