Does anyone believes in life after death or has ever been to the after life and still lives today?
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.
You know we can see you, right?
@PondartIncbendog Prove you can see me.
@Willow_Wisp I think you got him on that one. lol
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.
I like your style.
@anglophone thnx
They live in our hearts and memories. That is the only life after death that can be proven.
Agreed. And I also believe that after all the people who remember you are gone, then you are totally gone from the world of the living, for all practical purposes, except, I suppose, for when some building or other societal thing is named after you. In those exceptional ways, I suppose a person lives on even after all those that knew them are dead...
@TomMcGiverin For a while at least.
No, I do not believe any of the nonsense peddled by the God Mob.
What if people still reply to your comment after you go? Would that qualify?
@Betty Their life after my death? You bet!
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
Death of what?
The physical body? No.
Identification with ego? Yes.
Is it no so that when the physical body dies so does the psychological side and ego of the body dies with it.
May one enquire as to precisely how much you have had as per dealings with those who have actually died?:
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.
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.
Back in '98 my husband's heart stopped for over 4 minutes while they were doing an angiogram and then an emergency triple heart bypass. As with your father he also said he saw blackness and was also very Catholic. He no longer believed there was a heaven after that but remained a non-practicing Christian.
Lots of maggots live thanks to the rotten carcass in your grave.
Lol are you for real...can you tell me how it's happen
@michealjones Google it.
Probably more like worms, beetles and fungi but you have the right general idea. Every carcass is a feast for scavengers.
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.
Welcome to AgnosticDotCom.
So sorry to hear of your terrible loss.
