Dawn will come in the morning - The Scrybe
I don't think so. I think that within a few hours of having died, my neurons are going to completely stop firing, my body is going to start decomposing, and that's gonna be that. It's almost comforting to me to think of it that way, but if you find it scary, well... by expecting the worst you're prepared (for nothingness, which requires no preparation), and if something better happens at least you get to be pleasantly surprised |

Yea, but I doubt that enough of them are going to be firing in the correct corresponding structures of the brain to really give you a full on lucid dream that seems to last for eternity before I die. And even so... once those few hours are up, I think I'll most likely be dead and done with. I'm certainly very open to other ideas, but from everything I've learned about what makes an individual and consciousness, without that firing you're not gonna be around for very long Plus as I said, best to play it safe and assume the time I've got on Earth is all I've got |

Agreed, it is best to assume that this is our only time |

The thought came to my mind when I was thinking on the strong psychedelic DMT... Seems as if you're almost dying for a brief moment or your body thinks so and then you're in an extremly extremely X10000 times lucid dream where all the impossibilities of the universe become possible and you live in a completely different hyperdimensional matrix. It seems like it must exist and some of the aliens, beings, and impossibilities you experience are beyond explanation without experiencing them first hand. The thing is... in reality your brain is still alive even in these cases and even in NDE (near death experiences), conception, dreams, etc. when it is likely released in large amounts. |

This entire reality is SELF REFLECTION. You reflect your essence and project it onto the universe.

I am a true believer of afterlife, not in the sense of heaven and hell. I don't believe in religion either. But I think our consciousness will remain after we die. We will be able to create our own reality after that. At least thats what I believe. I mean it makes sense. So, to me the answer to your question is yes. |

Ya, without treading on anyone's beliefs too much I agree that if there is any possibility for an afterlife it lies outside of organized religion. There are just too many that state that only they are the true ones and too many people 100% sure theirs are right; not to mention the geographical distributions, history, and numerous other reasons that just make it more and more unlikely. If there is something beyond it I think it exists outside of the explanations of any specific religion and not to do with man-made concepts of heaven or hell. I don't want to argue on this though, I'm not trying to offend anyone just stating my opinion. |
