If there's an afterlife, I'm in it.
My entire life flashed before my eyes a couple of years ago.
It was very boring.
Now I haunt the office building and parking lot where I had my heart attack.

I have died twice, once by strangulation, once from a stroke.
No afterlife, no bright lights, no voices or "gawd", just Very peaceful & all memories of actual life gone, so no sadness or exaltation, in any way.
Didn't come back wanting to change/improve the world,either......first scenario, plan to get out (before shelters, hotlines, & etc).
Second scenario, pain & Serious issues with thinking, speaking, walking & etc that I have successfully addressed over a period of many years.

Never believed in life after death.

I don't believe in an invisible being that resides somewhere beyond the clouds.

Clearly the answer is yes. People do believe. I am just not one of those magical thinkers.

Think: bio matter clearly does recycle. But we don't mean that. We mean some continuation of cohesive entity. That means either, spirit, which is a made up word that has no place in fact-based thinking,
Or,.... continuation of some sort of unified consciousness. Generally proponents of life after death myths cannot even show any evidence of continued unified identity after death, only thier imaginative creative but faulty constructed pseudo-memories.

What good is continued life if you are no longer you, as far as any memory carry-over?

For the record, I don't for a moment see any evidence of carry-over "soul." I am just saying rhat even if there was, it is pointless without our memories carrying over.

There IS life after you or anyone else is dead, the thing is that you/they are no longer a part of it.

They live in our hearts and memories. That is the only life after death that can be proven.

Nope

Nah, but it's fun to imagine that I'm gonna be a vegetarian buzzard (or any bird of prey) next time round.

No, I do not believe any of the nonsense peddled by the God Mob.

I shall reveal all when you learn to spell your name prior to the escamotage.

Yep. There I was. Deader than a doornail. But I started feeling better once I was dead. Now I am alive. Yep.

Life after death. Life does continue after you die, it is just someone else living.

A second thought, if you're gracious enough to follow the old ways....you know the ashes to ashes, dust to dust then you become substances for a different life

How about, seriously speaking btw, WHEN you have been dead for at least 12 months drop EVERYONE on here an e-mail to show that there is life after death.

No, and no.

Death of what?

The physical body? No.

Identification with ego? Yes.

I will be returning to the same place that I was before I was born

General anesthesia is the closest I have been. Once I totally lost the time and woke up an hour later, thinking the procedure had been canceled because it seemed like a split second; then I felt all the gauze in my mouth and knew that I just lost the time. Other times, I had a murky sense of slowly regaining consciousness, so I knew I had been out for a while. Consciousness is brain activity, when the brain is shut down consciousness goes the same place the music goes when the radio blows a fuse.

I did when I was a pagan. I believed there was an afterlife you went to, to wait to be reborn in the next life. I don't know if there is an afterlife, I guess I'll find out when I die.

People who claim experiences after having died and having been revived describe very contradictory experiences.

The brain tends to live slightly longer than the rest of the body. On reading about persons who were beheaded, they often continue to have facial expressions and eye movement as long as the brain still has some oxygen to work with.

I think most "near death experiences" are akin to dreams we have when sleeping as the brain loses oxygen.

I thought that I died once before when my ex- girlfriend broke my heart. I felt like I was in hell. But I was reborn and my life got better. Now I'm good and I wonder why I wasted so much time with rhat devil. Nope I don't believe in that religious BS.

My father cardiac arrested for a couple minutes and then was revived. He felt like it was a near death experience or even a temporary death experience. He said all he saw during it was " Blackness", so after that he quite believing in any kind of afterlife, tho he still sort of remained a Catholic.

Lots of maggots live thanks to the rotten carcass in your grave.

I just recently started reading up on biocentrism. Think more physics and science and less woo... I stumbled on an article just recently and having recently lost my husband to a heart attack, the timing couldn't have been better. It gave me some comfort... well as much as anything can at the moment.
