Where do you think you will go when you die?

I think that at best it will be purgatory for me and at worst it will be hell. That being said what is purgatory? I mean is it a nice version of hell? Personally I want to believe that I can be redeemed and enter heaven but I just don't think it's a possibility for me.

Oh, so you are a Catholic who has chosen to reject God? That's interesting.

I fully expect to be reincarnated. I just don't know who or what I will be in the next life.

I sometimes think that we will each get
exactly "what we think" we will get.

So I Also like to think about
the continuance of the becoming
of my most wonderful potential Self.
Becoming though, always takes place
in the present moment.
It is never something reserved "for later".
Eternity's gate exists only in the Present moment.
Ever.
As I am doing, I am Becoming.

As I think, I Become.
As I Become, I think.

I treasure the Domain of my Subjective Reality.
I hope always to Rule and Reign there,
in conjunction with the other Divine Beings
I Already Love (in the here and now).

And still here, my hope,
is a thing, that I think, or consider
in my mind's eye.

I have come to terms with "nothing" as well, though.
No thing. No mind. No eye. no I.
It is a sad thought for me though,
not my prefered notion,
but a very real possibility
that I acknowledge.

I'm much more afraid of dying (now),
because of what my children, my love and I
would miss out on
now, here, together
than what I may or may not find
on the "other side" of death's door.

Life right here now is a major challange for me and my children.
Without me, I'm afraid their life here
would be'come a living hell.

I expect to go where I was before I was born. That ought to mean non-existence if memory serves.

Good to keep in mind that memory is linked to the physical brain that is in your current and temporary body. So if there was something prior to your birth, you wouldn't remember it because you didn't have your current brain.

What have you done, exactly, that would make you feel condemned?

I will die. That is sort of self-explanatory, but to elaborate: a part of me will live on for a while, mostly as past forum and blog posts, but also in the memories of those who knew me.

The other part will of course be gone for good. That is how it always happens, far as I can tell.

Most likely Hell, but I hope not. IF purogatory exists I plan to stay there for eternity.

I fully intend to spend a few centuries messing with people here on earth as a poultergeist. After that I might reincarnate. Not sure what species or gender to go for though.

The options are somewhat endless. :)

Absolutely. Maybe it's my age, but I do hope to be able to stick around Earth for a while before moving on to whatever waits after death. I guess coming back as a dragon or a vampire might be a little out of the question though :(

Since there would be severe legal repercussions to my executor with my favored plan (ie, my ashes mailed suspicious
envelopes to gov't officials all over the US), I'll settle for my ashes being used to fertilize my hostas.

I'm pretty sure that when I die I'll end up on display at a Natural history museum as an example of Homo Snarkus Trollus.
LOL. you will probably will, but for being a human animal which is too strange to live and to rare to die!! come to think of it, me and Phil will probably be stuffed right next to you! for the great awe of the visitors!
