The Gods Do the gods grand eternal death?

Is this something that can be 'granted'? Not in the sense of a consequence of being too deep into Izfet, but just dissapearing.

Why would such a fate be wished upon? Like most problems in life pain is temporary and in certain conditions can act as a catalyst for growth.

The point of Zevism is to become like the Gods and follow ethicality in our lives based on the principles of Ma'at. Wishing for such a fate is against the very principles of Zevism. Being mortals we can wish for such things but they don't align with the rules of nature and the ethicality of the Gods.

Best to get better spiritually and in life slowly and surely over multiple lives than wish for such a fate.

Stay strong and focus on bettering yourself

No.

  1. No Zevist should ever consider ending their existence. Our destiny is Godhead - taking life to its conclusion of journey, completion and perfection of the soul, to move on to greater heights on the infinite and eternally satisfying ladder of ascension. It is about expansion and self-discovery, the beauty at the very core of life itself.

  2. Complete soul death happens after lifetimes upon lifetimes of depleting energies, not engaging with life, not meditating, life hurting you more because of worse births and so on. Very unrealistic to ever happen for a Zevist, almost impossible for a Zevist who meditates, and also pointless to think about.

The updated Death and Afterlife page on ToZ states that the soul is immortal now, I thought?

I think even in "total death" you'd just "reincarnate" but at a metaphysical level. It would just mean you start all the way from the beginning at the soul level with a completely new soul, which may or may not be human. I don't really think total non-existence is possible.

I think the same principle applies to the functioning of a human being who physically dies on earth. The person in question dies, their body can be used to fertilize the earth, sooner or later it crumbles into dust, its atoms will become something else. This isn't exactly "reincarnation" or "rebirth," but simply the fundamental components that make up the soul, and the very uniqueness of the soul, dissolve into the ether. The ether can be reused to create other, totally different souls, but it would forever lose the characteristics of what a soul was; it's as if it never existed. At that point, if you reach the total death of the soul, you will never be you again. At least that's how I see it. Furthermore, as I think, there could be two possibilities: as a human being, I experience the first death, the physical one, and then I experience the second, the definitive one of the soul. Either I am forever unconscious, in total nothingness, or the same pieces could form a soul with totally random and new configurations to which I would return to being conscious, not necessarily in human form, but as an animal, or something else.
