What do you all think happens after death? I will post my theory after listening to you all.

Well, I do not believe in God, BUT; I do believe in a after life. I believe that we walk among the Earth as spirits.
And some of us will be regular ghosts that will wonder the earth secretly looking after the ones we love, protecting them.
And others that died, like being murdered they will look for the person that killed them, and haunt them.
Well some will just haunt people because they can.

Call me crazy, but you can never take away what I believe in!

I guess that's one of the biggest question on the human existence.. Our answer to this dilemma has great implications for our life here on earth. Although many avoid the issue, we must sooner or later address the question. There are many competing answers to this question.. and there are many brain, mind and soul who create it. So what will happen after our death will be what we think now, if you do good things(good in objective, since stealing are might consider as good things for thief) to other then you won't expect and think bad things.

Well, I'd recommend the book 'Johnathan Livingstone Seagull' to anyone whose searching for answers to questions about the meaning of life, and about death, etc. It's not a religious book or a tract, in fact it doesn't mention any religion, but it contains some very profound thoughts.

I'm not for or against the existence of an 'other side' - as a matter of fact, where I live we call death 'the eternal secret'. There is some basis for the theory of re-incarnation, actually, as one sometimes comes upon 'old souls' - beings who have to be taught almost nothing of dozens of skills and arts, and who mentally, physically and spiritually exist on a higher plane, certainly. The world doesn't seem to tie them down so much either, materialism is just a word to them - it's like they've seen it all many times before.


However, I'm still not for or against anything. I'm curious. I want to see what's on the other side. Perhaps it will be what we expect, perhaps not. But one thing I DO know - in THIS life, in THIS world, I'm going to live the best, highest life I can, because when the time comes for me to die, I want to look back and say 'it was a good life.'

As for the next life, if any, I'll do the best I can with it, to the very best of my ability - WHEN I GET THERE

Before I start, I would like to say that I am a Christian, so my views could be biased. I would like to state that I don't believe in after-life. It does not agree with logic. How in the world would you come back to the earth all of a sudden when your corpse is deceased? Science disagrees with it, so I disagree with this view, too.

I believe that when after a person dies, he would go to heaven or hell based on how he lived his life and his views on religion. I believe that you will be judged for what you did on earth and will later be put somewhere according to what you did on the earth. According to the Christian faith though, it's how much you loved God and your neighbors. But if you aren't Christian, it's how much good you did and how much bad you did. Sometimes I find myself questioning this but I try not to so I stand by this statement.

I have many thoughts about what happens after death. Maybe there is a another universe, where you start a new life, or maybe you just continue it there (that would be cool, so the death would not mean destruction for you ) or maybe you die but you come back here to earth as a new person (reincarnation) but there is no point to call it reincarnation if you forget everything of your past life, in that case it should not be called reincarnation, just another person took your place.

What i think is the most right possibility of what is after death, is NOTHING. I think that its all just like before you are born, you have no mind, no soul, nothing, so maybe when you die, you just stop there and then you dont exist, you got nothing to think about or nothing to see, like before you were born, what you were thinking about before your parents met?

Life goes on. Worms eat our decaying flesh if someone didn't already stick our carcass in the oven. Then we'll make fine fertilizer for someone's tomato garden. Since the body is no longer useful or animated that which provided that animation, the spirit or soul, after hanging around for about three days, would move along to the next destination, perhaps the Akashic Records? Or perhaps to tend to suicide victims who wander the earth for a while. Perhaps you'll decide to come back as a crack baby to learn the valuable lessons that experience would provide. Perhaps you'll be privileged or poor, white or colored (pick a color), missing limbs or Mr. Universe.

Who can know these things until it happens?

No reason to fear it though, just let it come. When Death comes a knockin', swing that door open wide and embrace that old coot with open arms and say, "Take me away from this wretched place as quickly as you can!"

Then you'll know. Too bad you won't be able to drop those poor souls who are still suffering under the oppressive weight of gravity and the chains of slavery a line just to let them know they're on the right track. We'd sure like some kind of reinforcement now and again you know. A little pat on the back wouldn't hurt now and then, some little bit of encouragement...

Maybe that's what the church is for...

Some day, when the sun has decayed perhaps, you'll cease your need to embody the flesh evermore and live on in spirit, an angel in the heavens watching all the little ants getting sun burns and syphilis...

Hey, you were probably floating in the air above them (invisible) and got them to get together, then got them in the mood, then got them to 'do it' - all so you could exist, but after this masterpiece of manipulation, the sheer trauma of listening to your mom's heart beat for nine whole months with nothing else to think about drove you insane (like it does all of us humans - ever wonder why there are wars, here's your answer right here!!)
- anyway, once you were born you learned your lesson and reformed and stopped manipulating people. Bad baby. Bad.


JUST kidding, Not to be taken seriously.



Seriously... as I said before, read Johnathan Livingstone Seagull, for some fascinating thoughts on this subject. It's not a very long story, and I believe it's freely available on the net if you google it.
