Cleveland?

In the winter

City of light, city of magic

@btroje sonofagun, I thought that was L.A. Paris, maybe?

@Condor5 Randy Newman song. part of the chorus is "burn on big river, burn on' recalling when the Cuyahoga river caught on fire

@btroje yes, love Randy Newman. BTW, the river catching fire; that happened more than once, did it not?

@Condor5 I think so but I would have to refresh my memory

Like all of us, they don't go anywhere. They simply cease to exist.

But we live on in FB forever 🙂

@jeffy yeah there are quite a few pages of people I know are no longer with us

@AncientNight does that seem weird to you?

I was kinda hoping my soul would manifest itself as a celestial being where I can freely explore the universe

If you think it ? who knows.. I was hoping I might get a rest but you never know do you! I am so far at peace or feel I am with the world and my actions so maybe it won't be so bad. I think if you don't know yourself it must be quite terryfiying for some.

@Nickbeee tell me about it. I have had enough experiences for 2 lifetimes. I would like to rest

@Sciencemama a nice sleep haha 🙂

Yea I guess sleep don't sound all that bad either!

Definitely there is no hill, heaven, or god but I think there’s soul and if it was strong and healthy will be able to take off to a different dimension (universe) otherwise it will be trapped and vanished . You can strengthen your soul through loving , yoga, meditation , caring and some time drinking and weed will help if it used wisely. Love should be unconditional and not for the sake of god or any materialistic purpose.

What makes you think there is a soul? What is it? Where does it come from? Is it there from birth? Or conception? How do you know that there is another dimension, or another universe? If there is, what does your soul actually get there, and do there? What makes you think that drinking, and weed, for example, will help it develop? Where is your evidence for that? If someone loses their mental faculty before they die (e.g. severe brain trauma, or dementia) do they still have a soul at that stage? Or is the idea of a soul not just 'wishful thinking'?

@TerryMoseley science proof there is more than one big ban so there is more than one universe with a different law of physics and as far as the soul I feel it and I live it and that is good enough for me since I don’t know everything.

@Truthfacts Well, actually, we don't know if there was more than one Big Bang, or more than one universe. In fact, we don't know if there was even one BB - it's just the best theory we have at the moment, but could turn out to be wrong, or al least inadequate or incomplete. Just like Newtonian Gravity seemed to fit the bill until Einstein came along. But even if there is another universe that's irrelevant, as we live in this one!

Back to the state you was in before you were born.

Ohio?

Hard to say. I don't personally believe our being we've created dies. Having said that what truly happens is a puzzle to me. I just know it has less to do with certain books we don't like on this site.

There is a lot of evidence of the state we cal "death" and "dead". What evidence do you have to substantiate your belief that human beings don't die? If you have no evidence, would it be fair to say that this is your Faith based belief in the Supernatural?

I'm a paranormal investigator and I've personally seen and documented to my own satisfaction to classify it and proof not faith dear sir.
But to be clear at no point was I attempting to ask anyone else to believe. It's my belief.

I'm agnostic too. I believe it's possible that our essence outlasts us. I have no proof and am not trying to convince anyone of anything. My feeling, however, is that our energy rejoins the greater whole and we cease to exist as individuals. If true, that's not really a whole lot different than just ceasing at the moment of death. Except that I also envision it as being a pleasant experience. Feel free to mock. I don't give a shit.

Our bodies, as they decompose, fuel the next generations of flora and fauna. Keeping the existence of life on this planet moving forward.

The circle of life!!!!

That is what I am hoping for!

Like everyone else, they become pure energy again and most reincarnate, if they wish.

This is according to research done with 2-6 year old children worldwide who remembered past lives and the details were verified. Many remembered being "ghosts" between incarnations, and choosing their next parents.

Some remembered being animals or even trees. Details of memories from all these alleged past lives were verified.

What exactly is "pure energy"? I'm familiar with "energy" but I'd love to here what this pure stuff I say lol about. Is it a Supernatural form of Energy?

How does this process of Reincarnation work exactly? and I what is the mechanism by which it happens or not, depending if the person wants it or not. I'm presuming that this is another Supernatural process, but I'm fascinated to know if there are any attributes attached to the proces. For instance, do I die first, and then use my dead brain to decide if I want to be reincarnated? or do I make that decision just before I die? Am I being a little too specific in my questioning. Is this one of those instances when one just needs to have Faith that it will all sort itself out in the end?

@GilesD I don't know the details. These were a number of studies done by researchers who only interviewed children 2-6 yrs old worldwide who remembered past lives of people they'd never met, sometimes people of different cultures and languages. Some of the kids retained the past life language, habits, food preferences, prejudices, etc., despite the shock and disapproval of their current families. Researchers always confirmed the details from the memories.

Back to the earth. If a body is not cremated, the body becomes food for microbes as it rots. All that goo then seeps out of casket and into the soil - which becomes food for plants, earthworms and other creepy crawlies. Eventually, those plants, earthworms and other creepy crawlies become food for bigger animals or become fertiliser for bigger plants. Those bigger plants and animals eventually become food for humans. Humans uses those foods to make more babies.

Neil deGrasse Tyson says it better.

I actually plan to become a tree ala the movie "The Fountain." My daughter has promised to fulfill this duty. I hope to become a magnolia tree.

This afterlife sucks.

I'll let you know when I die..... There are few that will crap their pants so I may just do that, come back and bring Houdini with me

Please bring Houdini back. It would change everything.

@Seminarian I know !!! ... You bet I'll try to talk him out of being dead ???

They just lay there like everybody else unless they get blown up, then they lay there, and there, and over there, a little bit over there, and ........

Well I have a nice burial plot in my home town next to papa which I hope to occupy once the neuroscience center is done picking apart my brain and body

It's really nice. Atop a hill under an oak tree overlooking the fields

Oblivion

Oblivion is a planet in the Andromeda galaxy. Well, not really, it's more of a planetoid, much like Pluto.

Reading questions like this make me want to find out! 😉

We ascend to heaven to dwell forever in the house of the lord. ...um wait, I confused that with a plaigerized myth designed to control the masses and bring power and wealth to the elite. We don’t go, we stop... when your car dies it’s still there. We are caporal beings... primates, do you think there is a monkey heaven? Because we are smarter but still basically a monkey, we are smarter but not always wiser.

Ask Ray Moody or Ken Ring about Monkey Heaven.

I don’t know about agnostics but in my view when they die it’s life opening a door to the universe. Your body goes to the earth and nourishes it for new life, your thoughts get added to humanities universal knowledge and, your energy goes to the stars so they can shine more!

That's lovely

On to the next step... or maybe back to life as a reincarnation... or perhaps to a new realm of their choice... maybe just disappear in limbo... your pick...

To the crematorium.
