If I say yes, will I have to put up with crap like this?

Think about it. I could do anything, but have no reason to do anything. I could go anywhere but have no reason to be anywhere. Just exist. How could I find such an existence peaceful? Interesting questions Rhonda.  1) Reincarnation is over. Once the individual reach the peak of human emancipation and no more Karma there is no more need to be reincarnated (according to yoga) and immortality is there. 2) You do not consider what Nirvikalpa samadhi or Walhalla or Nirvana are all about. They are all the stages in which a drop of water merge into the ocean and become the ocean. That is when the individual merge into the cosmic consciousness and become God. In this stage of existence you experience peace of mind and total bliss. Why wouldn't you be happy to exist in this ecstasy? 3) It is true that despite you experience a state of total ecstasy you still feel that something is missing that is why God create the universe (according to most Theists). By creating the universe and possibly a myriad of different dimensions God try to share his-her bliss with a myriad of other form of existence by a process of devolution follow by a process of evolution.

By not being conscious you do not experience anything but that is a no no as NDEs already prove that life never end.
Yes I actually would love to be immortal
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G.

Even were it possible This is not what people who had an NDE think. They are more than eager to end up the continuous stages of birth-death-birth-death and merge in the ocean of cosmic bliss. Those who also experience a stage of temporary samadhi think in the same way. Give time Sur and you too will change your mind.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
The possibility might open the field for interstellar exploration but I still suspect it would be advisable to be unconscious for the bulk of the time.
