does rebirth exist?what happens to us after death?

I WISH TO answer this question, a little technically or scientifically.\nJust like the fmous theory of conservation, even the actions, facts like responsibilities too can not be created nor distroyed.\nAs per this, Say,  I borrow some money from Mr.A, say ($100).  Now to nullify this action, I have to pay back $100 to Mr.A. Now let us assume, after borrowing $100 from Mr.A I dead. Note that the fact is not dead. Therefore to nullyfy the action I have to take birth/ re-born (What I made goes to 'sin' account as I failed to py back).  On the other hand, If Mr. A too dead, Now he has to born again to take it back from me.(Mr. A made a 'good' OR Punya, He will born to enjoy the  'Good'). Both do not enjoy the 'freedom' (Deliverence, or Moksha) of selection of their birth, as they are tied or bond by their Karma or the action).\n   \nWhat is the solution, when is the freedom ?.\nNow assume I am the Manager of a Bank and the Bank borrows about $ 100 billion from another Bank and I signed BUT for, The Bank. Now asume I dead. I need not re-born to give it back because I worked for the Bank, Next manager will pay.\n\nMeaning: If you dedicate all your works, and actions, here in this world, to the God and work for the universe, (i,e, Selfless actions), You are freed from your previous actions (Karmas) and the nature of your next birth is not bond by the previous action (karma), and it (re-birth) is in your hand. It is called the Freedom (Deliverence or Moksha). It means thereafter you are free to decide the nature of your birth. It is called atternal freedom, the 'Moksha'. After so many activties you would like to have a deep sleep(This is called 'Sushupti' in sanskrit). Similarly in this vast universe, if you are tired of repeating births and re-births, you can attain this (Sushupti) at your will as long as you wish,  with a total awarness of the ' DEEPSLEEP BLISS'  MURGING WITH the universal conciousness, called 'THURIIYA'   \nThis type of action (Karma) is called 'Nishkaama Karma' in hindu holy book, 'The Bhagavadgeetha'.

In some sense, society and culture can be viewed as a non-material aspect of our beings, so you have to be very careful about what you mean in this question. No, I don't believe in an after-life. When we die, we're dead and we have no consciousness left. It's like a candle that has been blown out. The flame no longer exists. I don't believe in spirits in the sense of some disembodied energy with consciousness. \n\nOn the other hand, I regard myself as a spiritual atheist. I believe that life is to be lived fully and happily. I believe that we should look around us and enjoy the beauty of the universe. I believe that we should love, and learn, and teach, and help others to achieve their goals. But I need no after-life to induce me to do these things. It is simply part of having a good life.

Scientist Claims Proof Of Afterlife\n\nCLEVELAND -- What happens after we die -- do we continue on or is this life the end?  Many of us hope there is an afterlife, and now some Arizona scientists say they have proof through their afterlife experiments.\n\nThere are many people who say they have died and come back to life. They claim to have experienced an afterlife, even if for only a short time.\n\nScientists at The University of Arizona have done extensive research, and say that they have the proof that when we die we continue to live beyond our physical bodies.\n\n"Almost anyone who sees the data says there's something real here," said one of the researchers.\n\nFor more information, click on the link below!

Our existence as humans is a temporary state, so to think of someone who has passed away is simple, however life goes on with out there existence, however the energy which makes up there body remains, as nothing destroys energy, they can only alter its form.\n\nNow try to imagine the non existence of our universe, or the non existence of matter which makes up this planet, and the sun, and everything which is our universe.\n\nThat I would say is not so simple to imagine, because we know it to exist, and with direct respect to its existence where do you suppose it came from, can something as tangible as energy, matter, and the universe, non energy, anti matter just exist with out a beginning, or creation.\n\nWell I believe that this is the greatest proof of God Almighty, as I see the proof, and I dare any single person, our group of people to prove differently.\n\nI not only know that God Almighty exists but I shall find him and become God like in the process, and with that knowledge anything, and everything becomes not only possible, but probable.\n\nThe Bible tells us that we were created in Gods image, and Jesus Christ after raising Lazarus from the dead, after he had past away three days prior said Greater things than I have done you shall do also.\n\nI believe that it is Gods wish for us to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and join him.\nAt this point in time we are not even capable of bringing a person back from the dead who has passed away six minutes prior.\n\nI believe in God, and I believe we can become God like and I shall pursue that end, and with Gods help, we shall all become immortal, and populate the universe with total knowledge comes total understanding, and total bliss.

That question has many answears depending on your believes. You can go to heaven, you can reincarnate in something else, or become nothing after your life cycle ends. There is really no answear to a question like that, for no one knows the answear

You would continue to be reborn, but may have an advantage in the next life...\n\nIt's not until you transcend the OT leves that you can exist without a body apparantly, where you would sit as a static and create happy happy things till the end of existence.\n\nBut then we know its all a load of crap anyway.\n\nAs far as I know, as per Ron Hubbards examples of perfect memory, and immunity to disease there has never been a clear, ever.\n\nSorry

Energy can never be destroyed. It gets transformed from one form(shape) to another. So, yes-sure! I do believe in life after death.

I do not believe that heaven exists as a place that you go after you die.  I think that Heaven is a myth based on a desparate desire for people to live forever, like gods, which is part of almost every religion and has been for thousands of years.  \n\nThere is nothing new about wanting eternal life and a semblance of omnicience.  Power and knowledge are the two things that humans want more than anything, so it makes sense taht we would create a myth which involves us living forever and gaining a deep understanding of the universe after we die.

nah.\n\n may be there is no afterlife but death is a reality. people are afraid of death even if they believe in it. as many others said to people are more afraid about how they are going to die. when you are dead you are just dead. no pain. no suffering. nothing. body is destroyed ultimately. back to "panch tatva" (5 elements- earth, water,fire,air, eather/zero/sky fifh element is diificult to translate in english). \n\n  there is a story of dialogues between a Yaksha and Yuddhishthir. "what is the biggest surprise in this world" asked yaksha. "people die everyday; each mortal has to die one day or another; even then in general people are afraid to accept it as a reality which will befall on them too eventually" yuddhishthir said.\n\ni am not in denial. i concentrate on my karma and try to have a ballanced life and attitude and be good. it is for my own satisfaction. \n\nKrishna said  "Karmanyevaadhikaraste" we can only do deeds the result is not in our hands. so if there is heaven or next birth or there is just nothing it does not matter. if there is them i hope my karma was good enough.

the real question here is: Do we actually die at all?\n\nSure, the functions of the body stop working, but they almost immediately begin to serve new functions.  Mainly, in the beginning, the processes of the body begin to immediately breakdown the body casing.  Once the body is dissolved, is becomes food and nutrient, which in turn serves to produce life, on many different levels.  \n\nAs for the "soul" who knows if it even exists.  We do know that the body's cells are full of energy.  We are also taught that energy cannot be created of destroyed.  So, the energy merely moves along, we could infer.  Perhaps the energy energizes other living creatures, perhaps it spurs a violent collision of atoms and particles resulting in a chaotic tropical storm.  perhaps too it leaves the earth alltogether and enters another dimension of life, after-life, or after-death realm.  Hell, maybe it even retains it's consciousness.  \n\nThen again, maybe nothing happens.  Maybe it's like a dreamless sleep that you never wake up from.  If that's the case, would you ever know that were dead?

This is a very important question because understanding what happens to us at death determines how we live our lives.\n\nThe bible teaches us that when we die we cease to exsist. Gen 3:19 says that we came from dust and we return to dust when we die.  Ecclesiastes 9:10 says that there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol (the grave) the place to which we are all going.  Ecclesiastes 9:5 tells us that the dead are conscious of nothing at all.  Ezekiel 18:4 tells us that the soul that is sinning dies.\n\nSo there is no life after death.  Heaven is not the destination of all good people and Hell is not the destination for all bad people and unbelievers don't pass on to eternal death.\n\nHell is simply the grave, a state of non-exsistence.  It is also called Hades and Sheol.  Did you know that the bible speaks of Jesus as being in hell? Read Acts 2:22-28\n\nOur hope is found in the Sacrifice Jesus made in our behalf.  He gave his perfect life in exchange for the perfect life that Adam lost. Jesus will apply his sacrifice in our behalf in the future.  He will also bring about Armageddon to cleanse the earth of all who refuse to obey God and Jesus will destroy all other Governments.  As King of God's Kingdom he will be able to restore the earth to the paradise that Adam lost. \n\n1 Corinthians 15:20-28 says, "However, now Christ has been raised up from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [in death]. For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive. But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence. Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power. For he must rule as king until [God] has put all enemies under his feet. As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him. But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone. \n\nAlso read Revelation 21:3-4, Psalm 37:29, 37\n\nI hope this helps.

I don't know for sure.  (obviously)   :)\nBut, I'd guess that the body is no longer of any use. \n\nThe spirit returns to the source that it came from.   A Higher Power or energy source or whatever you would choose to call the creator of all things.   \n\nI don't see any reason to assume that any of us, can really know for sure what happens.....but that's my current opinion.

I believe in immortality through ascension of planes and dimensions of reality in which we constantly evolve, are always aware, an the closer you get to reaching your ultimate form the more talents and abilities and knowledge and wisdom you'll have in this current life. It's not quite reincarnation because that entails dying and being born again new. What i believe is you never die, and are never renewed.
