what will happen when we die?

[Imotep]

i think i will pass out and thats it.
dreamless
wakeless
sleep.
was-
then was'nt.

when my body is burned it'll return its elements to the universe from whence it came as carbon and other bits and pieces, to become a bit of tree, of ocean, of toenail on a goat, etc.

may seem morbid, but i think its quite grand to have my body dissapate.
best would be to be buried under a really big tree.
second best would to be thrown into the sea to be eaten by fishes.

i would like my skull cleaned and used as a candle holder or an ashtray or other cool coffee table ornament.

You said it better than most could wish to.

right..

But I don't think I want my head used as a candle holder... maybe used as a bong, instead? You could, like, turn it upside down, fill it with water.. and nah, forget it, my head wouldn't make a good bong

There will be more drugs for those still alive!

that's a bit bleak, Imotep. I like to believe in the immortal spirit/mind/soul or whatever you want to call it. For me, this body is just a vessel to carry me through this life (which is a short lesson) and when it expires, I'll hopefully have learned my lesson, and be ready to move on to a higher state. If not, I guess I'll be back in a little while in a different time and place, with different worries and tests, to try and learn whatever's left.
Peace

yeah thats cool.
i will be stoked if theres an afterlife
fantastic choirs of many-eyed beasts of wisom
as long as its not hellish, coz cool as it would be it may hurt
but i do like sleep.

Holotrope, I would like to believe in an eternal afterlife: angels; white clouds; britney spears lezzing off with christina aguilera; you know, heaven!!


The problem is, there's no proof of an afterlife, so all we know is that we die and that's it, and that's all i'm gonna believe until somebody proves otherwise

It's sad, and somewhat bleak, I know, but it's what I believe.. it's what we all should believe, I guess, until someone proves otherwise

I want to be cremated, put in an urn with a curse on whoever loses my ashes. So, someday when my future family members are living on the moon, one of their friends can point to the urn and say, "What's that?"

Future family member, "Oh, they're the ashes of my crazy great, great ,great, great, great aunt Mary! Careful! Don't touch!"

The only problem I can think of is how will they know that they will be cursed if they lose my ashes if I'm not alive to tell them about it? Ok, wait, 2 probelms, I don't know how to put a curse on anyone...it'll have to be a pretend curse, I guess.

Life after death doesnt make much sense to me. Because its really life after life why would we live through this just to be with a god we started with. The only people i have met who really believe in life after this one is people who live a shitty life, because they spend so much time trying to follow stupid laws set up by world wide religions so the longer they are in the more they hate this life and want a next one to be "perfect" with god. People like my self who try hard against these pitiful ingrates to live a happy life for MYSELF, not an imaginary character, accept how great this life is and can begin to be open to real truth about god. There is none. One more thing to think about we have never found anything perfect in this universe not one thing but some how we think there is this perfect being out there who made all this. Ok fine, but then why would this almighty and PERFECT(think about what this word means its almost hard to imagine) make everything far from perfect?

There have been documented cases of 'Reincarnation' some of which are very hard to dismiss. The one that springs straight to mind is Arthur Flowerdew, an old guy from Norfolk, England.

He had visions throughout his entire life of a great city surrounded by a desert. The most frequent one he had was about a temple carved out of a cliff.

Then by chance he saw a BBC documentary about Petra, ancient city in Jordan. He talked to the BBC and afterwards the Jordanian government offered to fly him out there.

The BBC did a pre-visit film where Arthur was interviewed by a world authority and author of books on Petra, so as to compare it to what would be seen in Jordan.

He singled out three places in his vision of Petra, a curious volcano-shaped rock, a small temple where he believe he had been killed and an unusual structure in the city that was well known to archaeologists, but for which they could find no function. The Petra expert could recall no such rock and doubted that it was there. But when he showed him a pic of the area of the city where the temple had stood, Arthur pointed out the exact site. Then he calmly explained the purpose of the structure as the guard house in which he had served as a soldier 2000years before.

On his approach to the city Arthur was able to point out the mysterious rock and once in the city he went straight to the guard room without glancing at a map and demonstrated how the check-in system for guards was used. Finally he went to the spot where he said he's been killed by an enemy sword. He was also able to to locate and purpose a number of unexcavated structures on the site. The expert who accompanied him said there was no way the man had the capacity to be a fraud on that scale.

Hey Folks, makes you wonder, eh?
