Do you believe in life after death?

[smudge]

If so - why? Have you, or anyone you know, experienced anything that might make you think it does?

[Dark Angel]

No. like FP I'd like to believe that there is, but we are just like cogs in a wheel, and we make way for those after us.

I really hope that there is life after death.  Just for the fact that I would so love to see my mum again.  It's always a horrible thought to think that I will never ever see her again.  I believe that there must be something, to create life is an amazing thing....so there must be something after it.

I find hard to believe that once you are dead then that is it.  I cant imaging not being here that is why I believe in recarnarnion.  Or maybe our lifes are like a reel of film on a continuious loop.   Once it gets to the end it will rerun and rerun......If we all went to heaven then heaven by now must be quite crowded.

When I have a lucid and 2 way conversational exchange with a person who died, rather than mumbo jumbo messages and the odd random event, then maybe I will believe.

I believe in conciousness outside of this life, but not in the traditional sense. I believe that after we leave this body our conciousness can exist outside of time and space. And this existance is not dependant on religion or beliefs.

Its a bit vague but i believe that there is an energy inside of us that, without the constraints of a physical matter can exist similtaneuosly in the past and future, but like all forms of energy it will eventually dissipate and dissolve. I believe we can touch these conciousness's at times during our lives, though not through our own efforts. This to me, as a logical person. Explains a multitude of phenomenon, ghosts, past life regretion, psychic ability, divine intervention, reincarnation, and many more.

Smudge - No I don't believe this. I believe that the only part of us that lives on are our genes and our bodies decompose and help foster new life. I view seance readers and people who claim actual supernatural contact with suspicion.

buddha01 - Did you know your last post has a sentence with 106 words in it? Your points are valid I'm sure but your posts are completely incoherent to me. Maybe if you write down concisely what you really want to say then people like me will be able to share your passionate ideas.

[Aschenbach]

Perfect - A memorable quote with underlying irony I'm sure.

[Dark Angel]

Buddha - this is a little late, but thought I'd mention, you had called Smudge, "Mr. Smudge". However that is a mistake. She's a lady - Mrs. Smudge.

[smudge]

Thank you Dark Angel - I am indeed a Mrs. Smudge.

Also, thank you for all your answers too Folks!
