Thats the point of nirvana tho, to herp so hard you become one with the universe and thus cease to exist.
I prefer the brand of semi-nirvana proposed by some yogis, in which you disassociate yourself from the cycle of life but still keep enough individuality to exist apart from the whole universe, turning you into a super ghost thing or something.

Yeah I prefer to exist, in some form or another as well.
The mere thought of non-existence terrifies me.

Well nirvana isn't compulsory but I'd assume if you can recall your infinite past lives like the Buddha did and realize that the universe is an endless cycle of the same thing happening again and again then you'd probably get bored and transcend.

Also nirvana might be more like r/seventhworldproblems than oblivion, but as far as our reality is concerned that's the same as not existing.

I believe that's referred to as CHIM.

Funnily enough, CHIM is likely directly based on that brand of yoga ideal. You can read about vivec's descriptions of it and check up some yogi and spiritualist teachings and find that they are almost word for word identical, only less metaphorical and more direct about it.

why is my imagination able to imagine large angelic feathery wings as a part of my body

...Why wouldn't it be? That's the kind of thing imaginations does.

maybe your imagination doesn't imagine the wings, it just usually conceals them and you're sometimes able to overcome your imagination and you're an true angel Sergarr





Do you sexually identify as Angelkin?

Oops it looks like I prematurely threw out my post

I mean, yes imagining things like that is normal not-WTF worthy thing and I've done it many times before. What's WTF-worthy is that, when I imaginary-touch them in my imagination, I feel permeating softness pretty happy and can also feel these imaginary-wings tense up in response to electrifying sensation me imaginary-touching them.

I'm pretty sure that imaginary objects are not supposed to feel that realistic, nor they're supposed to be that autonomous from my consciousness.

Ehehe~

nah I sexually identify as Sergarr, and I think it's just that my imagination is able to affect me on a stupidly large scale after I broke my mind even more than it was before. I've tried it out with, uh, other not-existent things,

Spoiler: like antennaes of this particular fictional character (click to show/hide)

, and, uh, it feels somewhat different, but still pretty happy.

...I want to explore more of these unusual feelings...

Doot me up inside.

I feel like I know the sensation of unsheathing cat-like claws from my fingers.  How could I, though?
Not even joking, I was randomly thinking about that yesterday.  I had just trimmed my nails though.

After playing Morrowind, I've wondered what it'd be like to have digitigrade legs as a biped. All I could think of is "it probably really sucks".

[Kot]

Try walking on your toes for the rest of your life. Not the same but close.

EDIT:
Also, a WTF.
I spotted LoSboccacc on Reddit asking why people don't lead a target... when they're shooting from a plane at a plane while moving at roughly the same speed in the same direction. :s

[Frumple]

I'm... pretty sure you'd still have to lead? Unless the shooting plane's directly behind the other one. Could be the point, I guess.

[TheBiggerFish]

Wings would be cool :v

[IcyTea31]

A human foot works just fine with a digitigrade stance (i.e. standing on the balls of one's feet) for short periods of time, but since the muscles haven't evolved to hold one's weight, fatigue is an issue. I actually find myself to be more agile when running barefoot if I keep my heels off the ground, but I couldn't bear standing like that for a whole day.
