What do you believe happens after we die?

I think what you believe will happen is what will happen, for the most part.

I'm hoping that when I die, I can choose to come back or remain as a spiritual guide for others. To me, that makes sense. Otherwise, what is the point of living and learning and experiences if you are just going to spend eternity singing praises to a deity, or burn in eternal fire? Or just not exist at all?

It will probably be something that doesn't make any sense, though lol

Your belief stops at the door of death, Foxy. Beliefs are things of the living in a timelike state.

There is no you apart from the belief that you exist. Your death is the ending of that belief. Coming back is a belief of yours. Existence is an illusory state.

Imagination is the mother of all things.

@sree251 I've never had a problem with magical thinking as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. 🤷‍♀

Hurting each other is our nature. Sorrow is us, Foxy. To believe that you are not hurting anyone is the perpetuation of suffering.

Wow as i read the answers I think if i believe this is it then i rote in the ground and that is it this is a real crappy deal. If all there is, is what have here and now then why would life be worth living. why would I ever help anybody else. why would a save for future generations. If this is it then why have children to make them suffer and die. Come on people there is more the certainly is more!

The ones who loved us will miss our existence. Memories help them carry that existence as it erodes across maybe a few generations. Until years from now the descendants of those we left behind are watching Fast and the Furious 62 and are completely oblivious to the fact we ever lived a life.

Oh, I guess I'm going with Eternal Oblivion at this point in my life. I was born and raised Catholic, but as an adult, I became an atheist. I've come to the conclusion that when I go. I don't think someone will be waiting for me at the pearly gates, giving me the 'ole pat on the butt, welcoming me into "IT".

I believe we have a choice of whether to return (reincarnation), stay and act as a spirit guide to others, or be absorbed into the godhead.

The world goes on, but we’re not in it.

Life goes on without us, just as it had before we were born
We become fertiliser

No one knows as the dead have never returned and this mystery will be kept from us till the end of time.

You party like it's 1999
Levenrack · 46-50, M
@Lilymoon Now that it's well past 1999, it feels kind of redundant, that song. But, I'm all about the retro resurgence of late.

@sree251 you would be transported by ambulance and then you would be depending on what you or your power of attorney decides you would be embalmed or cremated lol

What you are telling me is what happens to the body after we die. We are not the body.

either you get cremated and that's it, or you get buried and take about 20 years to rot away, then that's it
