Is there an Afterlife???

[Legzman]

Clearly this all just speculation! I was rased in a very religous family, so naturally I grew up thinking we go to "heaven" or "hell" when we die depending on what kind of life we lived! As I've gotten older I've began to question this whole line of thinking. I wonder why with all the different religions and beliefs in the world, who's right? Maybe noone is right at all! Maybe religion is just a way to help us cope with death and helps to keep people from doing wrong to other people!
Like an early attempt at a peaceful world to live in! Religion gives us something to believe in so we don't hurt as bad when we loose a loved one! I still do believe in something after death...I'm just not sure what exactly it might be! I also believe that it is one question that science will NEVER be able to answer indecisevly! We will all find out one day that much is certain!

I'm not sure. I tend to believe that there is an afterlife, maybe also reincarnation.

But where do all the souls come from? Where have they been before there was life? What about the increase in human population: if there is reincarnation, where do the souls for the additional humans come from? Are souls divisible? Or do those souls come from other creatures, maybe those that died out because of us humans? :dunno:

Questions over questions...

:hatsoff: Jackson

Maybe the sum of all living beings stays the same (including plants)???

Anyway, I voted no.

I think there is an afterlife, but I cannot describe my idea thereof sufficiently, I'm afraid. I would only like to say: there is a difference in saying the soul to be whether eternal or immortal: I believe it is immortal, i.e. created in the moment of conception and its separation from the body after death is only temporary, because the soul is the substance of the human nature, but not the nature itself: the human nature has inescapable tendency to have a body and without it a human being is deprived of the perfection. Furthermore, as I think time and space are only two dimensions of the same entity, when a human being is liberated from time, he/she won't be limited by space any more: the Afterlife will be out of space then and cannot be "too crowded" - but, unfortunately, now I am at end of my imagination...

I think that there has to be somewhere for the mind to go... If there is a God, he could not have created the human mind, which is too complex for someone even to think about. So I think it goes somewhere where we are free from predjudice, as we have no bodies and our mind is formatted. Another possibility is that we just start life again, as a completely different person or being. Who knows... I could have been the richest man in a previous life in a different place in a different universe. Or maybe there was no such thing as money.

The latter would mean that we could just be questioning or debating what we have just gone through. Not one person can say really.

Good stuff... for most civilizations... sex seems to be a taboo, so a board like this should show it's colors..."may it do ya..."

No there is not so fear the death! Muhahaha!!

This is one of those questions that mankind will be trying to answer forever yet is one that in a way can never be answered to anybody's satisfaction. I just take solace in the fact the search for that answer is more important than the answer itself. Where the journey is more important than the destination even if you don't realize it at first. It similar to questions about things like the meaning of life, what is God, how did we come from nothing and what was before something, what is nothing, what does nothing feel like, can you fully explain what love is, why do we exist at all. It might take an understanding above what a mere mortal can come up with to fully understand concepts like that. Some of those questions almost make my head hurt thinking about them.

I know this might be a little different than the normal logical way I like to think, but for what it's worth, yes, I do believe in an afterlife. Don't ask me to explain why, I don't know if I can other than faith and feelings I have that I can't explain to anybody else. Things I have come to know after deep self-reflection and soul searching. That was just where my own personal journey about it led me.

I waited a bit to write and it is so refreshing to see this budding existentialism. On a day when everything and nothing was called into question, it is nice to see these issues being discussed. Life as riddle, as poetry, as religion, is sacred. Let's continue to be thankful for it, lest we lose sight of how precious it is.

I ma thinking that there is an after life, where we are reincarnated in another person and probably living in another country.

When i am reincarnated, I get the choice of who/what I want to be!.
"I am coming back as the 2nd Coming!".
It all depends on your belief system, but if you are one of the few who would choose the Red-Pill, I recommend the book, "Home With God" or go to www.nealedonaldwalsch.com. to find out more.

Do you mean the 2nd coming of christ?? Why would you choose to crucify yourself after already witnessing the afterlife in that way? would you have a different message to give or just be living in the shadow of the first christ? it interests me cause I don't think there is a purpose for a 2nd coming of christ, Or not in the human form.

Also, which one was the red-pill again? The ignorance-is-bliss or the truth.. It was the ignorant 'return to your normal dogmatic life' one right? Just curious. I'd like to think that I'd choose the ultimate truth option but I fear that I'm at times already choosing ignorance anyway. Maybe Neo could have still been 'the one' in other ways

 

[stockfisch]

Yes, i´m sure that there´s an Afterlife. I´m 0% religious but it would makes no sense when "That´s all" . I´ve no illusion what will happens then, but something will happen.

 

[ohshit]

of course there is not an afterlife. well thats what i believe. why would there be, so the bad people can live again? no.

It was the Red-pill that would allow Neo to see how deep the rabbit-hole goes!.
As it is my Choice to live my next life as i choose!. I didn't think that the 2nd coming of christ would crucify him/her-self, thats what i believe anyway!. ...but my message would be the same!, "That we are all One"!, which is harder for alot of people to Believe!.
It is also why i put a recommendation of a book, as sometimes words can be misinterpreted, as you can see.
So i understand why you Qouted me!...

 

[ObeBo]

I guess this is another topic but what would the second coming of christ bring? And if we are all One then the choice to be christ would also mean the choice to be crucified right?
I still haven't looked into any neal walsch

By coincidence, I just rented a copy of a Japanese movie called Afterlife, supposed to deal with what memories You Might want to take with you I think!
