[Revoltingest]

I know that most of my cells will survive my death.
(Various non-human microbes outnumber my cells.
They too will die later, but after an orgy of reproduction
in my corpse. Disgusting, now that I think about it.)

 

[Jainarayan]

Why do you believe you'll survive death?

I believe that everything is energy. The matter in the universe was converted from energy in the Big Bang. E=MC2. Matter-energy conversion is a two way street. Granted, only the Big Bang and super- and hyper-novae have the energy to convert energy into matter (super- and hypernovae create elements heavier than iron).

When we "die", I believe the energy of our bodies returns to the universe. We decompose and the chemicals and molecules we are made of break apart. When we're cremated we're converted into energy a lot faster. So, while Frank Jason [Lastname - not a chance ] as an individual or discrete entity probably won't survive or transcend death, what made him up will. His energy and/or atoms will incorporate into something or someone else. It may take millons or billions of years, or it will take a week, or nine months, because I got some of my matter from my mother's body when she carried me, but in my estimation, that's the essence of reincarnation. It probably sounds stupid the way I wrote it, but as a Hindu that's how I envision it.

Well, I am an atheist, who believe I am relgious, but my relgion is wrong and has nothing to do with truth.
So for once learn something new.
It gets old that you don't learn.

The problem is that you believe differently than me and as long as we do that, we won't agree.

Why do you believe you'll survive death?

I believe I will survive death because of the personal experiences I've had since I was 6 years old, which is nearly 45 years worth. I have some vague memories of it happening before, when I was 4 and 5. However, the first vivid memory I have is from when I was 6. If you are familiar with my previous posts about the afterlife and the paranormal, then you'll know what I'm referring to. These lifelong experiences, as well as what I've witnessed while investigating numerous haunted locations across the U.S. (almost 17 years of firsthand experience), have convinced me that I will experience an afterlife.

 

[Vinayaka]

Why do you believe you'll survive death?

Myself, I have memories of past lives. However, I also know how easy it is for our brains to create memories of events which never happened.
Vivid memories with have no connection to my current life. However I've no other reason to trust them.

There are two 'I' s in my view. The first is the 'I' of the individual ego/personality/physical body of a single lifetime. I have utmost faith that that 'I' will be kaput, when this physical body ceases to breathe.

The other 'I' is the 'I' of the soul. It is eternal, and it will continue, find another body, and continue its progression to merger with Brahman. (Siva, in my case).

Western languages are externalized. I find it a nuisance to constantly explain the two 'I's when it would have been so much easier to simply have two pronouns, one f0or each. Then we'd know which 'I' is talking. Generally speaking, in the general populace, it's the first one, as most people are unaware of the second one. But as you identify more and more with the second one, it is more important to hang out with people who also are self-aware that way, because when the words, "I'm coming back' are spoken, most everyone understands it to be the second one. There is also lots of intertwining between thew two, at a certain point.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

I'm of the belief that there are multiple "I"s. Dozens. Perhaps hundreds or thousands. Maybe more.

Some of them will undoubtedly end with my demise. Others I suspect might hang around places where I've lived or loved, or wherever my remains are. Some will go off to the Spirit Worlds, including to live with the ancestors, or to heavens or hells, which are probably temporary. And some will undoubtedly 'come back' in other incarnations, other lives.

I'll still be able to use my moniker here: Beenherebeforeagain

 

[The Hammer]

I don't survive death, but "I" do.

There is spirit within us that lives on even if the personality of me does not.
