Paranormal phenomena you HOPE are real?

[Male Idiot]

Yeah I get the desire for that. Life seems kind of tedious and pointless really. But you might end up somewhere/when vastly worse.
Reincarnation without any past memory makes no sense to me. If you can’t learn and remember you’re effectively a whole new person. It seems a bit pointless. It just isn’t compatible with iterative learning. The idea of. Reincarnating lower or higher, again -if you don’t have any link to the last go round - what’s the point?
Now reincarnation where I can pick where and when and as who? That would be good.
Aliens would be fun unless they’re bad. Which knowing life they probably would be.

Yeah but you have the greatest chance of being born a Jeet. I don't want to be redeemed as a jeet. I would rather be a sad ghost and rattle chains or something like that.

This should be on the script for the suicide prevention hotline.

Here's a..we'll call it a "hypothetical"..for anyone who shares in these concerns:

Imagine part of the point to each life is precisely that it is a blank slate. That you (typically) enter it in a soft amnesia of any other experience. Now, why would one do that? What would be the point? "How utterly insane," one might protest - yes?

Well, imagine you persist in a manner well beyond merely physical existence. Imagine that you get to keep each experience as a sum total of your walk in the physical, so to speak, when you're not here partaking in a "3D experience".

Does that purely hypothetical wacky scenario frame the idea in a more sound manner?

The potentially most ridiculous/outrageous/lunatic-fringe comment follows:

What if you already do, friend? OoOoOo spooky paranormal thread! OoOoOo..

 

[Otterly]

What if you already do, friend?

Honestly? That’d be a bit sad I’m not accomplishing much, nor am I particularly happy.

Does that purely hypothetical wacky scenario frame the idea in a more sound manner?

I suppose so. I still do t like the idea of coming back again and again. I’m pretty fed up with this sphere of existence already. More of it seems like punishment. Maybe that’s the idea, bash the humility into us hard and repeatedly

ESP/precognition, but only for me, because I'd game the shit out of the market.

More seriously, I wish souls/ghosts were real. It'd be nice to stay around, even if only spectating. Reincarnation would be cool if you could remember.

And vampires are cool, too.

 

[Yugica]

I want a Dullahan wife

They're bad news. I hear that they don't have a good head on their shoulders.

 

[WonderWino]

Vampires, vampires are cool as shit.

You say that now, but if they were like the ones from the strain, that are little more than animals with something of a hive mind, who's cock literally falls off when they turn, who have a 6 foot long worm injecting tongue and shit ammonia that might change

If past lives were a thing, I could see that as useful. One thing that comes to mind is I think people would hold grudges after their next life, if it was discovered. Inevitably you're going to fuck up one of your lives, it would be interesting to see if others would forgive you down the line.
If we discovered Ted Bundy's new life, do you think we'd kill him again? Imagine if we could deal out true life sentences, if he killed at least 30 women, should he be put to death 30 times? Or is all forgiven into the next life?

Can you imagine how awkward it would be if this was a thing and ted bundy ended up an insurance salesman in his next life, and ended up trying to sell life insurance to one of his previous victims? Well miss I can certainly tell you from experience its a good idea to have life insurance at any age...wait I guess I don't have to tell you that after all.....

More seriously, I hope some kind of reincarnation is real. I don't think it is, but I hope it is. I don't believe in an afterlife, but I hate the thought of my existence just switching off forever one day. Allowing myself to hope some new existence awaits us after death lessens my existential dread a little.

While I don't believe in an afterlife in general, I wouldn't be all that surprised to find out reincarnation in a broad sense isn't a thing in some form. Not in a religious way, but more in the sense that nature tends to have a habit of recycling everything in some way so I wouldn't call it entirely unrealistic to think whatever our consciousness is might come about again in some other form. On the other hand, even assuming this is the case, the law of entropy implies that even this would be a finite thing at some point, so at best delaying the inevitable. If we do wink out of existence permanently then frankly life itself is a major kick in the balls

Wouldn't you want a blow job like the scene from Ghost Busters?

Careful what you wish for, there are plenty of dead beauty parlor lolcows that would probably be the ones giving them

Or worse. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night getting a ghost blowjob. Your eyes take a moment to adjust to the low light, you gaze down, put your hand on the head of whoever is blowing you, lift up their head to see the woman that has your cock in her mou-
.....and its john bulla

Cue the horrified scream that lloyd lets out in dumb and dumber when the door to his bathroom stall gets kicked in and he sees seabass standing there looking for manly love
