What do you think will happen after death? Will it be like sleeping forever or will you still be have a conscious? Will we reincarnated to become another new person in the earth after death?

This is a question I raise because I feel that life is mysterious itself.

take a religion.. u know exactly what happen..

+1

BTW, google around, different religion different point of view.
Youtube somewhat.

“There exists hope for even a tree. If it gets cut down, it will even sprout again . . . If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?”—MOSES, AN ANCIENT PROPHET.

What happens after death? Well, you get cremated/buried after a funeral or get hacked into pieces and have your body hidden by your murderer. Then life goes on for the rest of the world.

Not including less conventional burial methods like Tibetan sky burial where they let your body get eaten by vultures

when you die, its like when you go to sleep, unconscious, nothingness.

this is an opinion from an atheist

i like the idea of life after death, but wouldnt that be a crowded situation. Maybe reincarnation, sometimes i wonder if life is like matrix a simulation.

I tot this topic had been discussed several times here adi? Anyway...

If u believe in god, take a religion and believe till the end. Otherwise, no point looking into any religion exist in this world.
While no matter what ppl think or say about life after death, existence of ghost, aliens, bla bla bla....no one can exactly tell the 'fact' and if u really look into it, u will only overwhelming with all types of thing bout death but never truly understand what death is.
Since life is a mystery itself, why bother looking for answer that can never be answered?
Live ur life to the fullest as we know we have only one.

Where is the television set when its smashed to pieces?

You goto a paralel world.

O.o I personally believe in reincarnation and rebirths , since Rebirths has actually proven by some special occasions bcoz a person still remembers what had happened to them during their past life o.O . I think its been written on numerous article and I seriously believe in karma =O .

About the after death philosophy @.@ hmm mayb ur souls got reaped and waiting for being rebirth lols .

This world is just a training ground what u will be after death.....
Our main purpose is actually life after death
Life is this world is really has NO VALUE yet it is TEMPORARY, but life in afterlife is VALUABLE n PERMARNENT

Death is not sleep. When asleep the heart still beats. Sleeping forever is not possible because without heart beat the body will decompose. As to conscious you should define it as there are many theories about it. As to reincarnation it depends on your belief.

correction, u know exactly what they claim will happen

Maybe TS want to explore the spiritual world, in that case i really suggesting u to practice astral projection

u will be born again. Then your next life where u will be born to what family will depend on what you do in this life.

I do prefer the idea of reincarnation, everything comes in a circle. But human population is increasing, so where is the new numbers come from? There is still much to be discovered.

the purpose i create tis thread is just 4 discussion among lyn members haha. Yea sumtime i do belief in reincarnation. maybe it is possible we will reborn not oni on our earth but on other planets in the universe....

Easy la.. Population increasing is new born babies la.

If you buddhist then you will be reborn and recycle. The new souls making population increasing are not buddhist but christians or other religion. They go to heaven after they die contributing to population increase because they not reborn but give birth.

I receive 3 news about one island

News A : the island has many beatiful lady
News B : the island has many treasures
News C : the island is just ordinary

I believe news A because i have heard about amazon island. N so i pack up my thing n start sailing to the island. On arrival, i see no woman, no treasure, just ordinary island

So the moral of the story, check the reliability of the source, not because "that nice to me" "that sounds suit to me"

That is just a thought, I am open to many theories of life after death, but it is hard to determine which one is the "right one", there are no reliable source to this subject matter. Everyone who have been there is unable to say anything about it.
Just live it, and see what happens when the time comes

Its true human population is increasing, but do you realize animal population is decreasing and many species even extinct? Does this answer your question on reincarnation?

Can try put the HD cctv camera with mic and Digital Thermometers in the Grave.. and start studying the movement
or sound

oh so reincarnation also works on the population of amoeba, bacteria, viruses, prions? what about their population?

oh and population on other planets affect population on earth?

do you see the problem while making reincarnation theory work?

If we are not supposed to know then we will not have the answer until we die, I think you are curious because you wonder about our purpose in this life. Hey, we came with nothing and goes the same is the natural course and everything we do in this lifetime is either significant enough to remain useful or in vein.

Maybe some one did came back and tell us there is heaven and others escape from hell to haunt some of us.

None of the eye witness accounts of what happened is reliable. On top of that most of the eye witness accounts differ from one another in significant ways which seems to be intimately related to what they believed and experienced in their lives. If heaven or hell is real, then it is only true to within that small sphere of believers' faith.

After that the world I'd non your bussiness

If it is so, it will be none of yours either, would it?

whr will we go afterlife? another place?or re carnation? if another place, then that place should be very crowded since many ppl already dead...if re carnation, -->still a big question mark

Should something happen after death?

TS,

threads concerning religion or so will seriously cause circular debates. lets direct this thread in listing down the probabilities of what will happen after death, rather than asking.

different beliefs dawns different facts of what will happen after death. listing it down according to beliefs and imaginations will explain better, rather than having people of diff beliefs quarrel whether they're right or wrong all the time.

Sincerely disappointed with the first 2 posts here, which sort of said "take a religion" or "look at religion". That's not right to say.

Be religious, or worship an entity, by all means, or not at all, but don't answer somebody's genuine question by saying "take a religion". That's inappropriate.

I don't think one life reincarnates to another individual - if reincarnation exists it has nothing to do with population. Perhaps 1 tree could die, and its death could fuel a thousand insects. Now wouldn't that be brilliant - but do trees even have souls?

Human beings have a funny way of disregarding anything that is inanimate or non-motile.

Karma stems from conscience and altruism. Altruism, some say, is Human Nature, innate.

Who knows what happens after life? Will humans ever find out? Sometimes this entertains us - the idea, that is - in books, movies, art. Sometimes this saddens us.

Just do, whatever it is that you do.

find the real religion and u will know y god cr8 us...

Religion aside, I believe when you die you will feel nothing. You do not exist. No soul to wonder in heaven or in hell. Empty dark existence like the time when we came out from our mothers womb.

well,what happens later is based on your belief...

i post reincarnation argument b4 in buddhist retreat:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=35582010

U either go to heaven or hell if u follow my religion.

Why ask the living people what happen after death, since non of them had this experience before? Let's wait for one who goes there and return and tell us the story, shall we. Note that out of body experience or near death experience is not technically death, and the testimonials often contradicting and inconclusive.

On this topic, what we have is speculation and belief. However, cognitive science tends to provide us with a better understanding or at least show us a better direction where we should be looking for when touches this "grey area".

Let's look at hardware and software. A few line of programming syntax (line of codes) is considered a program. Taking a computer virus program as an example, when we look into "each" lines, there are merely if, then, else and some actions. However when "combine" these individual lines together, it exhibits a new behavior called "consciousness". Holism creates consciousness. This is what analogy to "live".

Let's talk about the opposite of "live", death.

If you burn your PC because it is infected by computer virus, after the burning, is the computer virus death to you???

Yes, maybe you could say that, that is the end of the computer virus.

Food for thought:

If the computer virus (I mean the same syntax and line of codes) is now rerun on a new PC, it is the "same computer virus" that you burned just now or is it a entirely new "computer virus"???

Since it exhibits the same syntax, we would say that it is the same computer virus.

As such, if we want that "computer virus" program to be run in a new PC, we "need not" salvage the original burned computer part or even need not to replicate the original machine. Any active mediums (PC, laptop, handphone, music player, even write it down using pencil and paper) which gave the same syntax could in principle embody the "same virus".

The analogy used here:
PC - A body
Computer Virus - Consciousness
Active mediums - Another body, animal

This conclusion leaves open to the question of whether the "computer program" is rerun in another body at a later date, is it the idea of reincarnation.
Or
In a realm that is not part of the physical universe.

Note: cognitive science tells us that the "meaning, purpose" of the computer virus can only attach to the flow of time, which is during the "running" of the program, as far as the perception of time is concerned. Meaning, purpose is ties to "running" of the program within the flow of time.

However, the existence of the program is essentially timeless as it could exist indefinitely (In the PC, laptop, in a paper (writing it down using a pen, so that 1000 years later someone picks this lines of code up, and put it in a says PC again)).

We can argue that cognitive science tends to emphasize the similarities between "mind/consciousness" in human and machine. While leaves little room for the traditional idea of the soul, it leaves open the possibility of survival of the personality indefinitely.

it's based on religion and belief. but there were books of people experience deaths.

huhu this is really scary question dude.

Before we exist do you feel anything?
No right.
Same goes to after death.
This is what I believe

why cant we stick to facts? all this "believe" and religion bullcrap shouldnt be in this section at all.

some book writers mention about what soul will experience after death. it's still unknown how they can make such stories. people supposedly can't share what's afterlife like to book authors.

unless it's from religion perspective that's clearly not associated with any mortals.

i still rmb when im young . i ask my parents what will happen after we are dead .
the funny question was :
" Mama .. if i'm dead , will you give birth to me for the 2nd time . "

when u die, u'll be judged by god and for the sins dat u hv made, u'll go to hell for a while (depends on how much sin u've made). After u received the punishments, u'll get to heaven..
it's simple as dat..

It's a fact.

Live today likes you will die tomorrow.
forget about lifes after death...

That's nice, since we get to live forever, and the sin we accumulated on earth is finite since our lives are finite, so over time in hell, we get to heaven eventually. At least I am not so worried now, or are you sure it's that simple?

Logically I think we will just disappear and gone forever. You'll be no one any more.

But Id like to give myself hope to see god or catch up with people who had gone before me.

I wish I've done enough good deeds to be allowed to step into heaven lol. This is what I've learned from the church's Sunday classes I've attended when I'm young.

But I'm a Buddhist myself, they say we will receive the punishment of all the sins we have done, after we have served them all, we will be reborn and repeat the cycle again. Not my type of ending but it serves a purpose of not letting yourself to commit sins.

But what worries me more is before death. I wish I can let go and go peacefully.

yes, same like energy and momentum, it's simple.
Energy can't be created nor it can be destroyed. It can only transfer from one medium to another.

If u do quite many sins, and u do way more good deeds than your sins, god-willing, u'll get a little time spent in hell and after just a minor punishment, u'll get to heaven.. Simple as that..

The movie Inception (great movie btw) presented me with another theory regarding life after death.



If you do not understand the quote, basically if you die in your reality (in the movie, there is no actual reality. Any dream can be a reality so long as you choose it to be your reality), you go to limbo which will eventually become your reality. And there, you will live your life again. If you die again, and you will drop down into limbo again and that will be your reality as well. And the cycle will repeat itself.

In a nutshell, the movie reaffirms the theory of reincarnation that is so ever present in the teachings of Buddhism and Hinduism.

For me, I already know what's happening. There is death. Life. I'm just something that's piloting my human form between those dimensions. Whether people will believe there's something after death or not, it's their opinion.

I'll just move on, and experience those dimensions without end.

If nothing happen after die, the rapist,killer,robber will happily ever after..
even when they are alive,the will feel not peace at all,because police will be track them.
so,i believe in punishment after life. n what people done will get their `rewards` after all. that`s why,all religion taught us to be good,n avoid to do the bad things:)
if we can imagine,it is very2 hard and pain to die. some of them dead in accident, killed, choked, mati lemas..n some of them are dead when sleep n maybe heart attack..
the difference death method shows the difference painful to die.

You will go to a place designated for you in accordance with your action or deeds done in your life
