How can we be certain that there is any form of existence after death? [Spirituality & Religion]

Try as I may to keep my mind open to core spiritual ideas, I can't help but think most of the time that nothing happens after we die.

I would like for there to be some sort of nice afterlife, but I cannot shake the feeling or rather understanding that we are just animals who will decay and return to dust.

If by certain, you mean scientifically proven, we can't.

Nothing else makes sense to me.

@Mamapolo2016 To clarify, you're saying that no life after death is the only thing that makes sense to you?

@GeistInTheMachine No, I'm saying the opposite. Do I think I will be reborn into another body? No, although I don't know. I'm rather eager to find out.

@Mamapolo2016 I admire your bravery. But don't be too eager. Enjoy what you do have.

@GeistInTheMachine I'm in no rush. I am very curious.

@Mamapolo2016 Understandable.
