Afterlife

[Jainarayan]

Yep that's it, and that is how it should be, why can't people just except that its all over ?.

Because there is actually no proof one way or the other. It's all highly personal and not subject to any one person's or group's decree.

 

[Jainarayan]

What type of Afterlife do you believe and Why?

I have a couple of opinions:
We can choose to come back or not; I no longer believe it has anything to do with karma blindly dishing it out. Though I believe in "cause and effect".

We might choose to come back if it looks like we'll have a ho-hum or "blah" afterlife and want to try for another life. Or we might not want to come back if we're tired of ho-hum lives and will take our chances. We might not want to come back if it looks like we'll go somewhere like Valhalla or another God(dess)'s abode.

This is all my upg.

After-death, most of us returns in this same world because of our interest and bindings with this world. And in very rare cases some of us lead to oneness with supreme-consciousness/God/Salvation/Moksha etc.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Did not tick #1 but wanted to do so. You have given choices which I did not notice initially. So, reincarnation of what I am constituted of (atoms and molecules) in a million things.

In a way things are being born and dying all the time, but there is a time the brain dies and the self sense with it.

Yes.
It's only that sense of self that truly dies when the body loses form.

I believe in reincarnation, but that there are also many different possible realms we can go to after we shed this flesh. Death is just a transformation. Life never ends. We also carry on the family and relationship ties we had in the previous life, including with pets. As an animist, I believe everything has a consciousness that continues on, including all animals, plants, planets, stars, etc. Everything is alive and everything is spiritual in essence.

I voted for reincarnation and Valhalla but I would also choose Summerland, Sheol and maybe even Limbo as possible destinations.

What type of Afterlife do you believe and Why?

Me, I believe in Reincarnation. We live our live to the best of our powers (some of us), we die. After death we either go straight into a new life or take a time off and stay in limbo for a while to rest

I find it more profitable to concern myself with before death rather than after life.

 

[Quintessence]

None/Reincarnation. I don't believe in an afterlife, because I do not believe there is after life. Existence and reality is a continuity; it has no before and after.
