Has anyone else ever thought of this?

Wishful thinking will not change that attitude about the afterlife. Try to focus on your own values and beliefs in this life instead of negative thoughts about death. If you look on the bright side of things then you will not waste time thinking about the end of your existence. Stay optimistic.

There's no point in thinking about the destruction of this planet if a large asteroid is on a collision course in two thousand years. It won't change your position as a human being on this planet.

Let all the scientists, astronomers and physicists worry about the singularities, celestial bodies and other cosmic phenomena.

I think your onto something. I think the big bang eventually leads to a big crunch and then it starts over again. That is what many of the Yogi's say. The problem with the game is we forget, we forget that we are spirit and we come back to play again with amnesia, as most think its more fun that way. Then we search for the answers as you are, and fail to realize that we can bring all things to our remembrance or simply refuse the amnesia, like I did this time around. It's still fun. You certainly would not want to come right back and miss the time in the spirit worlds, it is totally awesome there. Don't be afraid of death. You are life, and you are the life that created your body and continues to do so, not vice versa. Just pretend you died, and then since you already died you can go out and live your life, really live your life without fear. Fear and guilt and the worst two enemies of man. You may try to get there but you are always here. You may remember the past or think about the future but the time is always Now. And so it shall be, forever and ever. I, too am a deep thinker.

Yes, one of my first books was called Big Cycle, where I argue that the universe repeats itself. Knowing this is possible if the universe shrinks and contracts. I ran over this notion with the existence of this movement found in nature. Your lungs, muscles, and teeth even run on expansion-contraction dynamics. That book was deleted, as the theory called the Big Bounce took its place in the physics paradigm of our time. I was too late and too little to be noticed as the Author of this theory. If you are interested search : Torus Field. There is a whole network of people working on grasping the eternal dynamic of our universe.

The ancients believed this. It is called eternal recurrence. To me it is the worst form of hell, and the primary reason I do not believe in a repeatedly expanding and contracting universe.

Re experiencing the same events over and over? Try watching Groundhog Day 12 times in a row.
