great topic!...i find myself thinking of this often and heck who knows what really happens but id hope that we wouldn’t linger around as a spirit. they say you’re stuck not knowing if you’re dead or not watching people and loved ones come and go...that dosnt sound so peaceful...id like to think we are reincarnated into either a animal or another human. it sounds silly but to me so dose dyeing and thinking you’re going to paradise in the clouds lol i mean haven. Nor do i believe in burning forever in fiery pits in hell...i more of a free spirited person if its time to go then so be it. i would only regret leaving my family and daughter behind. but id hope they could understand and forgive me f i ever had a sudden death...i love how you put that..."We are all the same, and came from the same source. We are star children. So I hope that when I die, I'll become part of the universe in some marvelous way." so true and i hope i do to. :)

it'd be terrible to be stuck in limbo. Spirits do have an atmosphere of melancholy. Sadness. And in a way you are right about being reincarnated. We are giving back to the world. Recycling really. Providing even in our final hours. At least if that is how you want to look at it hah

The following is just my current state of spiritual mind, take it as you will. I think that when you die, you aren't using a human brain anymore. The question is gone, the answer is gone, it just is. There are no emotions, no way to dislike your "dead state" you just are, but you're in no way alone. Its something that words can't describe, as is God, and Flow lol. The mouth can't speak it, as soon as the words are used, they are up for perception and interpretation by a human brain...a part of the human condition, and, in my opinion, the downfall of religious texts and organized spiritual belief systems. Some may say we don't have a spiritual energy about us (recently was in a discussion with an athiest...) I can only operate from my experiences and what I've seen. And from what I've seen, this love, light energy is all we are. Bound to human form for the duration of a human life, and returned to the source when the time is right. Whether we are ever to return, or to be judged, or to move on to a next world or level of consciousness, I do not know, nor can I know. We aren't meant to know with our brain, only to feel the truth when we allow it into our hectic lives. Its just there, a great God blob, all of us a face of it.

Or, I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together, as Lennon would say.

Ever since I experienced death for the first time I have been contemplating death. We do go on after death, maybe we don't necessarily come back to this world in another human body but we do go on to another world. Maybe it's heaven or maybe it's just another life that as humans we just don't have the power to comprehend, like you said maybe we become part of the universe.

If i died tomorrow, I think it would be impossible to be filled with regret. Maybe you would feel sympathy for those who are still living and miss you, but you would be filled with joy, or at least be indifferent to having died. Once we die, I'm sure we will see things a lot differently.

Sigh, I don't know. But I can wait to find out.

it's fascinating that you've had a near death experience. would it be possible to describe what it was like?

I tend to have a spiritual view on this subject I suppose. I don't believe I can say whether or not reincarnation is real, but I think that when we die our physical human body is gone, but not our spirit. I think that we were given this experience for a reason and it probably isn't the only one we will have. I think you are right, people need to stop being scared of death and realize it's just another part of this whole experience. And maybe even an opportunity to do things different next time. I just hope that when it's over for me, I can be proud of who I was here as a human. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience." :)

it's funny you bring this up because i was thinking about this the other day and i dont think i'll ever know what i believe. i was watching that movie with chris rock "down to earth" or something and it made me think that maybe perhaps reincarnation is what happens. i think that would be amazing. sometimes i think about how when i die i want to have died feeling fulfilled. i want to feel like i accomplished most if not all the goals i had in life.

death worries me sometimes. i guess honestly, i am afraid of it. i wonder if this happened in past lives. like i get all riled up about death, i die, no big deal and here i am again....i just dont remember anything. but yeh, thats one of my most recent thoughts. im kind of all over the place though. i dont know if i believe in life after death, ahhh

death is really scary, it used to plague my mind. now when I think of it though, I don't get so anxious. Each day I work on solidifying my belief that life goes on. That this is just one life. Idk...this is recently too. I never thought like this. It's really nice to try to ease yourself into being comfortable with death. It's natural. 

 

I was watching this movie last night, called, into the void. It's amazing. It's highly experimental and not for everyone, but it's about death and dmt. I recommend it if you have 2 hours to spare. By the end of it you feel as if you were the main character all along. From his death to his rebirth. It's like a freaky long acid trip or something.

I think that when a person dies, they enter their own reality, completely separate from everyone else.  There are still bridges that link one person's reality to another.  Some realities are closely intertwined, such as for soul mates. For most people, these realities are like heaven, but a select few enter their own personal hell. I'm not sure if reincarnation does exist, but if it does I know that it is each person's choice when they enter the earth again, and I know that they are not alone in doing this.  This is what I imagine life outside of time is like.
