What does it feel like to forever cease to exist?

[Jerzyk-The-Boar-Warrior]

Like how is it possible? There must be next blink of an eye in a newborn baby. Eternal Oblivion is so weird.

if 2 people create 4 people and 4 people create 16 people then thats a lot of reincarnation

You can answer the question yourself........ Before you were born you didn't exist, how did that feel?

[UmmUmBurst]

You ever almost get hit by a car and think.... What if I did get hit by that car and this is the afterlife?

There is a case to be made for you having in fact existed prior to being born as a human. You were just not conscious of it.
Your previous lives, and we are talking about multiple simultaneous lives, you were probably part of a bunch of plants and animals that were then killed and eaten by your mother.
All your bits and pieces were processed and mixed into this new emergent being growing within your mom that has then gradually became conscious about itself.
Once we die, we just return to being a bunch of small bits again.

Most people get incinerated(cremated) in this day and age when they die, but you are constantly shedding matter while you are alive. We shed multiple bodies worth of matter. If you collected it all, you could potentially rebuild yourself, multiple times.

Point is, all that "stuff" is out there, being put back into this great cycle of life and death. Or death and life in this case, except death was never "real".
You are never truly dead. You are merely unaware of your existence prior and after this life.

Actually it does sound quite liberating, to forever stop thinking completely. Just perfect.

[Netaris]

Well, like before you were born, it feel nothing.

I will explain shortly.
Today, you're a human.
Your next life would be a higher being.
Or an angel as you've known in another planet.

Look at it the other way around. Each human being has 2 parents, and each of those parents has 2 parents. So on and so on, to the dawn of time.

But if you go 30 generations back you would have over 1 billion ancestors. If you take a very conservative number and say each generation has kids at 30 years old, that's at most 900 years ago.

33 generations and you have 8.5 billion ancestors. That's at most 990 years ago.

But there has never been 8.5 billion living human beings on planet Earth all at once.

So at some point our genetic legacy is steeped deeply in extreme incest.
