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
@FoxyQueen That's expressing what you want for others to see. It's beautiful and compassionate. I have experienced grief a couple times in my life, and it can include people who you with you left (or they left), I left... It's another thing to have your once ex girlfriend, and your ex ex in the same dream, they were just there, along with my father who died. The girlfriends hardly a large part of my dreams this way yet there and I wake up feeling up knowing there is many stories and griefs my heart still needs to feel

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.
