Neverside

Life after death?

Life after death?The first question relies on reasoning and logic.A bit like Sudoko(No math's involved.)

If you were aborted before you had a chance to experience life outside the womb.Is it possible or probable or absolute that you would continue going around the life cycle or would you never exist.Ever?

Is it also evident that people under hynosis can reveal their previous lives?
If God exists.Do you think he gives man many chances up to a thousand years before judgement?So you continue to come back time and time again until you have finally become at one with the almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth?

Let us explore this topic with open minds.

Interesting topic indeed. This is almost like the multiple universes theory stating that if the Big Bang happened once, physically and mathematically wouldn't it happen over and over again creating multiple universes?

Anyway, I think that in todays world it is hard to believe in faith. We're just mammals that are capable of predetermination and complex thinking. When we die, thats it game over. When God says your time is up, thats it its up.

I don't tell my religious beliefs to anyone unless I'm close to them, and such will say the same here.

However, I don't believe in an afterlife at all. Once you're dead, you're dead, no concious thoughts. Imagine reverse birthing.

I say why? Why do people want that? What the hell are they afraid of?

Imagine a day that never ever ends. You never get to go to bed, you never get to truly close your eyes and rest. That sucks.

I for one find comfort in the idea of one day resting forever and blinking out of existence. It's better than the alternatives.

Life after death seems sort of preposterous to me, since death by our definition is the end of life. There may be some other form of existence, but I really doubt it would be anything simlilar to what we experience now.

I, like damon, actually find more comfort in the idea that death is the end, and there is nothing else beyond that. Its like when you watch a TV show, and the storyline is so intense and youre totally into it, then all of a sudden, it says "To be continued..." How disappointing is that?

A the heart of the mater, we won't know untill we're dead.

I'd love to go to a heaven(a loose idea of it) like place, where I could do everything I wanted to do, learn all I wanted to learn (oh how I would love that) but you know sooner or later I would like to have a nice end to it all and go sleep forever.

However I don't think any such thing will happen, I believe we probably just die and thats it.

Personally I'm fond of the whole death means you're dead side, but as there is no way to prove anything for either side it's a bit pointless debating it, kinda like having a debate over which side a coin will land on, it's going to be one or the other, but you just don't know.

It's all down to what you believe, I'm an atheist and rather proud of it, but even then, it's hard to pin down this debate, as many things factor could factor into it, take souls for instance, no proof that they exist or dont, but if they do, when you die (physically) what would happen to your soul, would it die as well? or would it go...elsewhere.

Matter, at its most fundamental, being energy, it stands to reason that when we die we are simply changing states. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, so something happens to all that electricity flowing around in your brain and innards. Your mass decomposes, the energy is absorbed by other beings (circle of life) like worms, the heat is given off into the atmosphere, etc.

Does your consciousness go with these things as they break up, disperse, change, etc? I'm highly doubtful of it. I for one am rather offended at the idea of humans having a soul. It's arrogant and completely unfounded. I don't think I have a soul any more than a dolphin does, I just happen to belong to a species that has learned to apply knowledge and intelligence in a different way. And I certainly hope they don't kick our asses one day when there are only a few of us left and dolphins conquer the earth.

Anyway, the idea of your consciousness remaining somehow and retaining memories or even any inclination gained in this life is about as ridiculous as me thinking if I yanked out my eyeball and put it on the table and left, a little bit of my consciousness would remain there and I'd be able to see what's going on in the room after I'm gone. I mean seriously, come on.

If you stop existing and knowing after you take your final breath...what is there to worry about? You're DEAD, there's no more pondering or knowing anything...that's it. Everything shuts off, your brain processes close, there's no, "oh, so this is what it's like to die, now I know." I think honestly that some people have a very, very difficult time reconciling themselves to that fact and have built entire religions out of making themselves feel better about death. I mean seriously, name a single mainstream religion that isn't somehow obsessed with death.

I think the trick to overcoming that fear is to live the most fulfilling life possible. Like Down's example of a movie...what's the point of even going if you're just waiting and waiting and obsessing over the ending? You'll never enjoy the flick until you learn to sit back and relax and enjoy it. And then, if it really was a good movie, when it's over you'll realize you were satisfied, and that was that.

Or you can go out and start a religion about how the movie goes on, dress up like a kook, start an online petition for a sequel, and then when Hollywood does make the sequel you can get on a forum and ***** about how much better the first one was.

I'm done with my little tangent now, sorry.
