life after death

[blueflame68]

does anyone on here believe theres life after death, if so why?

[teedee]

There is life after death, i recently took a photograph in my house of 2 members of my family,and in the background was the face of my dead nephew who died in 2007.
Previous to this i would have said this was mumbo-jumbo,but not any more

[wonkon-wonk]

no there is not!
but that wont bother me , I am gonna live for ever!

teedee, A picture of your cousin hanging on the wall at the time the photograph was taken (among a host of other possibilities) would go a long way toward explaining why you no longer would say life after death is mumbo-jumbo.

My personal experiences lead me to believe the soul survives death - but I don't believe that religion is a factor.

I believe we are all equally entitled to our beliefs; so here's mine:

I believe our souls, (whatever that turns out to be), live on only in the consequences of the actions we set in motion as realised in the conscious memories of those we leave behind. I hope that mine will prove to be a meaningful, if not eloquent, and cherished legacy, if only in my dreams . . .

I do.
Because I speak to dead people and capture their voices on recording tape. They answer my questions and give me information about people I`ve never heard of so that I can contact them and let them know that there is life that bodily death.

Not in the manner of what is meant with 'life after death'.

I do feel however that a kind of spirit lives on in one's children and their children. If we provide a loving and caring home for our sprouts, it is most likely that this will carry on for generations to come, just as we are carrying our fore-fa/mother's spirit. I suppose that could be described as a soul.

Teedee: any chance of us seeing your the photo that you took?

[flip_flop]

No. Absurd idea.

As is often the case, I find myself in perfect agreement with Mibs. I think we live on in the memory of others.

Although if the life after death is anything like Will Self's novel I think there's way too much burocracy.

so what happens too our energy when we die,for energy cannot be distroyed it gos on and on..

If you are buried you become part of the soil and are broken down to provide nutrients for other life.
Death provides the continuation of the Earths life cycle.
As for a life as we know it now after death,hovering round in the sky or in a paradise,forget it!

As we say round here :-)

I was once in a delightful correspondence with a good-humoured Irish priest and told him that it is almost possible to envy those who believe in an afterlife because it is a comforting illusion from which they can never be disillusioned. When their eyes finally close and they go into that black nothingness, they will have no consciousness left to know that they had been wrong all that time.

He replied to say that when I die I might have a pleasant surprise, and find that there is an afterlife after all.

To which I said that it would certainly be a surprise, but how do I know it would be pleasant?
Since I would have to endure it for ever, one tiny fault or smidgeon of boredom and I would be driven mad after only a hundred years or so.

His final thought was "R------, in all my years as a priest I have talked to many people about the afterlife, but you are the first person to do a Consumer Survey on it."

Nice man.

[zzxxee]

yes i stongly believe that our soul continues after our bodies leave this life i believe because, i have had experiences of past love ones letting me no of their presence....

[blueflame68]

are u sure its not your imaginnation

[bobclean]

It's unprovable, one way or another. My personal feeling is that there is no life after death, but for some people they need to believe in the afterlife, because they cannot cope with the alternative of death being the end.
