You ever heard the saying “sleep forever” meaning to die? Well, what do you do when you sleep? Dream, right? Yeah, you dream. This is also what you do when you die: dream. There is no “Heaven” or “Hell,” believe it or not.

Ever since Christianity was “publicized”/exploited during the Medieval times, there’s been lots of talk about going to Heaven and Hell; most want to go to Heaven and to avoid going south. Don’t call me sacrilegious because of this post but this is truth. Early philosophers and religious figures proclaimed Heaven as the ultimate nice place and Hell being a place of fire and ultimate bad place. Truth is, it’s your brain making the illusion of peace and spite based on its experiences.

What I mean by this is, if you lived a regret-free life and your mind was blissful, you’ll “live” peacefully in the afterlife. If you had major guilt or burden such as a murder or something you regretted, your mind will repeat those events over and over for eternity, much like what’s depicted in fiction (bad things you did are done to you ad infinitum). In a nutshell, your brain sets up its own world based on experiences and keeps you there till it shuts down. Of course, no one really knows what it’s like after you die but this is my personal opinion.
