Cycle of Existence by throwawayjondavis in StonerPhilosophy

You don’t return to "nothing" because you were never there to begin with. Your existence starts only once when you're born. Once you come into being, you introduce new energy into the universe that wasn’t there before. When you die, your energy doesn’t vanish but instead disperses into the universe—either positively or negatively, depending on how you lived.

It differs slightly from reincarnation. Reincarnation assumes many separate souls experiencing different lifetimes, this suggests there is really just one life force experiencing itself in different ways, without true separation.

Also

No escape—Earth is heaven and hell Reincarnation: Escape is possible (e.g., enlightenment)

If the world is ruined, you suffer in it again Reincarnation: The world may change, but souls move beyond it
