The reality of after death remains a mystery to humankind, because the after life journey goes beyond the perimeters of physicality.

My daughter told me that when people die they come back as babies. She was only 2 1/2 years old when she told me this.-
Only a child would have such wisdom! -
Children know everything. =)

-
There is life, but on a different existence. Please tell me we don't come back here.-
At least not in the same life you had before. But since there's no reason lives need to be placed in the future, I suppose it's possible that one could give birth to one's self. I think the Dalai Lama even talked about reincarnating before his death too.
-
Its your choice. Book the ticket out now if you dont want to come back.Your wish to not come back is the start.

I believe that there are 13 threads about this.

lol. Well, it's a very big question.
-
-
life after death? I don't know... I'm sure there's SOMETHING after death, but life....? that's kind of an oxymoron wouldn't you say? -
I dunno about everybody here, but I am here 100% believe on it.
-
No. -
Yes, but I have no idea what exactly that entails. -
I absolutely believe it. I just wonder who's going to turn out to be right?
-
You just have to believe. -
No, but I also think that what I believe has no effect on whether there is life after death or not. It's arrogant or, maybe, childish to think that we can control what happens after we die merely by wishing it to be true. -
Death is not a mystery to mankind... and yes, I do believe in LIFE after this death. -
it depends on how you define LIFE.. -
Dear Creemos read the question. The question is not about death itself, but the reality after death.
-
-
i believe in death after life-
LOL ... real cute. -
for sure...
-
-
ONLY AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST. -
yes, i do...I believe in the bible so I also believe that there's life after death.. -
I suppose it would depend on how you define "life" in the after-death sense.
If you mean that my present consciousness will continue, intact, in another place (physical or not), then no, I don't believe that.
If you mean that conserving and/or recycling the energy that animates my body and draws the line between living tissue and dead, then I can only say "that's a possibility," as Nature is notoriously conservative and, absent man's interfering hand, recycles everything.-
Except entropy.

-
I only believe in death after life. -
Not yet. -
body dies not the soul..-
True.
-
-
-
The physical body is just an outfit that will wear out some day but the soul is an energy that cannot be destroyed. It contains atoms that vibrate even after death.
I have no definite response to this discussion becauce I would rather focus on this beautiful life.
-
-
Yes I do believe in life after death. I have a child-like image of our souls floating calmly in the Heavens, free from the constraints of our earthly bodies, total awareness and in a position, I hope, to help family and friends still living.-
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your comment. This is the kind of description that keeps me breathing.
I'm wondering if you would stop by www.lgpof.org.
There you will see our desperate struggle with despair.
Thank you in advance.

-
No. There's no evidence to support it, so i have no reason to believe it. I hope there is, though.
And even if you do believe in an afterlife, you should LIVE as though you don't. -
No. What MarzRingo said. -
Yes, I belive it. I heard a pshychatrist saying that they have some experience. Some patient will speak about their past life when they are in psychoanalysis. -
I believe that the only way, there is life after death, id when Jesus returns for us and we were christain enough to make it. I hope I worded that right.
-
No. And I wouldn't want there to be, anyway. One lifetime of consciousness is enough for me -
Sure. Get down on one knee and pray to the Lord: Accept me for what I am, unacceptable. -
Of course. I believe in life after death and I believe in God. -
There's on ongoing scientific study into the potential for something after physical death. The results should be really interesting.
You can read about it a little bit here:

I simply believe in LIFE! -
Perhaps there is some value in introducing these discussions to Christian groups and other religious groups at BC. Just in case that is the case here's the main link to all the religious discussion groups www.blogcatalog.com/groups/tag/religion
-
I think you made your point...now the whole front page looks like a church service.
-
Welcome to my nightmare, fruitcake.
-
Yeah...a little overkill, but at least I'm not alone.
-
If you don't post to the philosophical/spiritual/religious threads then they will be gone from the front page on the forum in less than an hour. Isn't that right, voodoo?
Alternatively, if find the threads you are interested in on other topics and post to them they will be on top of the forum.

The Last Known thing is always Death.
So what more can I say. -
Does anyone here or know anyone that knows someone who knows someone and someone and so on that can give me a definite, unflattering, unsoothing, unconceited, unreligious, unscientific, full conscious and non-personal answer to this simple and concise question: Is there life or some kind of life after death?? -
God,soul & matter have no begining & end. when any living being dies then it is just like we leave our old house. the soul finds it new house to regenerate its own existance. to refer more visit : www.soul2god.blogspot.com -
No -
I do believe in life after death....
read this www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/articles/id/spiritualresearch/spiritual... -
YES I DO !
Because of Jesus Christ, I can pray to the Lord "AS I AM, ACCEPT ME" -
yup!!if you believe in something in your life!! -
Important Question !
Yes, i do believe in the life after death. -
Yes I do too! This life we live in now is only a test.But in my belief we don't go anywhere we stay right here until judgement day. So drop what your doing when Jesus comes around. -
There are five destinations that humankind needs to have a clear understanding of.
One: Earth
Two: Paradise
Three: Pit of Darkness
Four: Heaven
Five: Hell

Yes I believe because there must be a kind of judgment between human beings who are fighting, killing and hurting each other from the beginning of life on earth.
How can evil ones escape that without any punishment at all?
seems illogical..

Death is always painful when it comes because it means that a person is cut off from the world of the living. It means that between the dead and the living there comes a distance much farther than the farthest point on this earth. When a person lives, one can always hope he will come back home sooner or later, but when a person is dead, one can only hope to join him someday.
There is nothing final in death, which no one ever likes. When death comes, it's all over for the person this side of life. No matter how miserable one's life my have been, death appears always terrifying. Life is just too beautiful to end in death. But faith teaches us that death is the necessary passage to eternal life. Jesus said, "Unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat. But if it dies, it produces much fruit." (John 12:24) -
YES, IF U LEFT YOUR MARK ON EARTH WHILE LIVING BY ACHIEVING AND DOING GREAT THINGS, THEN THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH BECAUSE YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE.

No! -
Nope! Philosophers have debated the mind or soul and its "existence" for forever. I tend to agree with kbrummell. Our impact survives us.
inthefaceofcertaindeath.blogspot.com -
Yes, I do. It will be different, and the biggest differences will be in the kind of relationships you have, but your consciousness will continue.
-
yes .... but just in life of ideas and works. -
No. When you're dead, you're done. No more ice cream or strawberries.-
Hahaha! Only you can say such a thing. We will see. Maybe we would meet in other world and we would finally have a conversation. (Fun)
It's a serious discussion and it can't put here in a few words here. I prefer to tell that I believe we don't know nothing about energie and it's another difficult subject do discuss and I hate superficial comments related to that issue. But I don't agree with you my friend. Surely, I hope it takes a long time for we meet in another kind of world or energie. (Fun)
You know I like you and don't get me wrong with my jokes.

I read a brilliant article the other day and I'm going to quote something the author wrote then (on the subject of targeted marketing, I might add)
"
We all have a need to dodge responsibility. When faced with adversity, it is always most convenient to blame your heritage, genes, your boss, spouse or the markets. That's why religion was invented in the first place. It's a lot more comforting to be drifting a long the tides of life, with an angel or demon looking over your shoulder. You are never accountable.
"
I won't debate this subject, because it's not how I do things. But the statement above is fact, at least for me. -
I do believe in life after death. I mean rebirth. The death is for the body and not for the soul. The soul is eternal. The soul gets into another body when the the present body becomes unfit.
The soul matures over births. When it attains enough maturity it will unite with the supreme power, energy(GOD) This is my belief,may sound silly for many,though. -
"after life journey goes beyond the perimeters of physicality." Nope, after we are dead our bodily matter is transformed to dust, ashes, feasts for maggots, etc. Our physical body becomes part of other physical bodies. Any other belief is just wishful thinking. -
Yes -
When I think of death I see me as a mass of conscious yet indifferent energy slowly floating through purple nebulas in space.
That's a better question: what do you picture when you think of your death--it's a little more answerable anyway.
-
Yes, for sure ! -
we are already dead and are looking back at our lives-
Acoustic, there is some truth to that -
loved it. -
I am not joking
-
@Acoustic
Hummm interesting to here ”YOU” make that kind of comment b/c I have read other comments that you have written about God and Religion. AND now you threw me off with what is known as the Isaiah effect.
I would like to hear what else you know of it or if that was what you were referring to. Or are you just talking?
Asking b/c not many know or understand this theory -
No I'm not just talking, I'm deadly serious.
It's a complex one to explain but I'll give it a go.
Everything exists in the mind of God, the closest I could get would be to say that God, the endless ocean of thought and consciousness dreams a Universe. Within the dream, God is at the centre of all characters experiencing all things. I'll clarify by saying that an attribute of God is omnipresenence. In God, there is no time, time is based on physical phenomena and only relates to planet earth. God is outside of time and sees, experiences all things in the same moment, all that has (supposedly) ever been, is (supposedly) going to happen in the future. From a western and logical point of view it is absurd and sounds like the rambling of a mad man, but from a Eastern point of view it is not unreasonable. The idea of time travel, prophecy and any other phenomena is not too far fetched based on the assumption that everything is happening in the mind of God. So to say we are already dead, basically means it has already happened in the mind of God and we (a point of consciousness supposedly separated from the whole) are witnessing that thought and are fooled into the idea that it is actually happening to us. Completely silly to some, and I would not challenge anyone that disagreed, but that's how I see it.
I don't know the Isaiah sffect -
@acousticguitarist & Angie
Tony, you and I are on the same page.
Angie, I think you are referring to Greg Braden's book called The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy. Braden, formerly a software developer, is now a New Age spiritual writer who has published several books.
The Isaiah Effect book contains Braden's New Age spiritual mash-up of multiple religions/philosophies, and his explanation of his theory of how to regain the lost language of prayer by learning to align one's thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It also contains his claims that a scientific base for his theories exists, when, in fact, it doesn't.
- "It's an intriguing concept--that prayer might allow one to choose one's reality. It's not wholly a bogus idea--Evan Harris Walker explores similar territory in his "Physics of Consciousness", in which he says that it may be possible that one's will, when properly marshalled, can have effects on quantum events, and, perhaps, events in the macroworld.
Braden is not as careful as Walker; he interprets suggestive research as proving his thesis, even when it does not. Indeed, he breathlessly reports as if modern science was in general agreement with him, which it is decidedly not. I would wager that most scientists would have little sympathy for these ideas.
Braden's idea that prophecies such as that of Isaiah in the Old Testament reveal different possible quantum futures is an interesting idea--one that Braden doesn't really develop fully.
Braden also suggests that ancient the Essenes somehow had intuited all of this. To support this thesis, he quotes heavily from Edmond Szekely's "Essene Gospel of Peace", and infers that it is one of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This is quite false.
In truth, the actual Dead Sea Scrolls have a completely different focus and concern--they are reveal a profoundly apocalyptic mindset, quite unlike Szekely's "gospel", which most scholars believe the French-Hungarian Szekely wrote himself.
It is unfortunate--Braden seems sincere, and the basic idea of the book is an interesting one--but his scholarship is so sloppy that it is hard to take him seriously." -

TT: Sorry to sound cynical. But when I read stuff like this, I'm reminded of a quote by Hebbel:
"It's incredible how much intelligence is used in this world to prove nonsense." -
nothingprofoun :-)
-
-
Yes, I believe -
yea it seems like a cycle. when you finish this life you will start another base on the energy level you have at the time of finishing this life.
yes I believe is life after death!!! -
no way at all
-
if u are christian, u should believe. if not, why believe?. so as a christian, i should say, as sure as death... -

Life Eternal: The Great Cosmic Joke
thistimethisspace.com/2009/07/01/life-eternal-the-great-cosmic-joke/ -
I believe in death after life.
I also think that we are infitley trapped in our own lives. Once we die the tape(dvd?) restarts and we relive our entire lives. Deja vu is merely a moment in which we remember past lifes.
Oh or we are a video game to a higher alien life, like the sims. -
OMG!
-
I believe after death we just keep on the stage of sleeping and never be awaken. We still dream but only to the close family with high energy. We bond from this we can only interact with our dead love one. When we are sad, lonely and when you feel a tingle or goosebumps that is when you know you are not alone. -
Yes I do... as stated in our holy book... -
yes, I do -
I believe that -
there is nothing called life or death... its only a transitionary phase of soul, says knowledgible persons-
yup.. thats true
-
-
Yes, it's called a defibrillator. -
If you've ever seen the movie "Being John Malcovich" it sums up the entirity of this theory. When you die you are born again with no memory of your past life. In every sense of our knowlege we DO die, however, but the essence of who we are...our soul minus our personal additives...lives on continuously.
Or maybe we just rot in the ground and become maggot food. -
I believe in life after death only if you left your mark on earth living a spiritually guided life and repenting sins.
-
Yes...I believe it is true.
The Soul and Spirit and love in your heart
lives on... after our bodies die here on earth.
Some things change...but the most important remain. -
As long you did something meaningful for the world while you was here, you will always have life after death.
