Dharma. Hmm.. what I will say is Sanatana Dharma is NOT a bad idea. I would say it is the closest thing to our true spiritual roots. Much has been corrupted thanks to Abrahamic filth, but it is not too late and always worth the try to better ourselves and seek the "truth".
I practice Sanatana Dharma and am not a nihilist. You cannot wait around for death because if you reincarnate, it could lead to you deteriorating in the next. When we die and reincarnate we go through amnesia which is why we don't remember much. Past life regression meditation can help us learn a lot about our past lives and why we are the way we are.

I don't want to use the word Dharma because many don't know the true meaning of dharma, instead I will say Sanatana Dharma so people know exactly what I am talking about. Yes Sanatana Dharma is completely positive and the ultimate goal is ascension into godhead. Mortal becoming immortal. Like the Gods left carved in stone for us.
