Yes, frequently.  I'd say it's something I think about a little every day, and I have to say, it amazes me.  In fact, i've thought about it so much, since such an early age, i've stopped being afraid of any spirit world or death - i'm excited for the afterlife (though not forgoing the life I live on earth right now) and to find out what really happens.  I'm curious.  I think it's part of human nature to wonder what happens after death - it's the one thing we've yet to conquor, and I for one can't wait to find the answers.

Yay, a question directed towards my beliefs! I don't have a concrete belief about why we are alive....but I think its because we want to be, and because we want to learn. Most humans seem to crave knowledge and what better way to gain it than by living? As to the after life I believe in a place called Summerland which is where spirits wait to be reincarnated.

yes muslims do.\n\nMuslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed and wrapped in a clean, white cloth (usually by a family member) and buried after a special prayer, preferably the same day. Muslims consider this a final service that they can do for their relatives and an opportunity to remember that their own existence here on earth is brief.\n\nThe question of whether there is life after death does not fall under the jurisdiction of science, as science is concerned only with classification and analysis of sense data. Moreover, man has been busy with scientific inquiries and research, in the modern sense of the term, only for the last few centuries, while he has been familiar with the concept of life after death since time immemorial.\nAll the Prophets of God called their people to worship God and to believe in life after death. They laid so much emphasis on the belief in life after death that even a slight doubt in it meant denying God and made all other beliefs meaningless.\n\nThe very fact that all the Prophets of God have dealt with this metaphysical question of life after death so confidently and so uniformly - the gap between their ages in some cases, being thousands of years - goes to prove that the source of their knowledge of life after death as proclaimed by them all, was the same, i.e. Divine revelation.\n\nWe also know that these Prophets of God were greatly opposed by their people, mainly on the issue of life after death, as their people thought it impossible. But in spite of opposition, the Prophets won many sincere followers.\n\nThe question arises: what made those followers forsake the established beliefs, traditions and customs of their forefathers, notwithstanding the risk of being totally alienated from their own community? The simple answer is: they made use of their faculties of mind and heart and realized the truth.\n\nDid they realize the truth through perceptual consciousness? They couldn’t, as perceptual experience of life after death is impossible. God has given man besides perceptual consciousness, rational, aesthetic and moral consciousness too. It is this consciousness that guides man regarding realities that cannot be verified through sensory data. That is why all the Prophets of God while calling people to believe in God and life after death, appeal to the aesthetic, moral and rational consciousness of man.\n\nFor example, when the idolaters of Makkah denied even the possibility of life after death, the Quran exposed the weakness of their stand by advancing very logical and rational arguments in support of it:\n\n And he (i.e. man) presents for Us an example (i.e. attempting to establish the finality of death) and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.  (Quran, 36:78-81)\n\nOn another occasion, the Quran very clearly says that the disbelievers have no sound basis for their denial of life after death. It is based on pure conjecture:\n\n And they say, “There is not but our worldly life; we die and live (i.e. some people die and others live, replacing them) and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, “Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful.” Say, “God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,” but most of the people do not know.  (Quran, 45:24-26)\n\nSurely God will rais

I am a believer in reincarnation.  I do not believe that religion is as cut and dry as many people like to think.  I believe that we have had past lives and that for some there will be another life that will follow this one.  We are put here to learn lessons and to become enlightened souls, when we reach enlightenment is when we attain heaven.  There is no such things as hell, hell is being on earth and you can choose to continue to live here by not enlightening yourself or you can choose to learn and eventually reach heaven.

I believe that we are. I have talked to several people who had near death experiences and all of them  told me that they seen their dead loved ones in a bright light. They told me when trying to walk into the light, their love ones told them it wasn't their time, and they woke up inside their own body again.

Nope, everyone dies.\n\nIf you're talking about life after death, than I guess it depends on what you believe.

I don't think there is a life after death, only what people remember you for. What's imporatant in life is to be a good person, and that memory will live on long after you die. I live my life because I am alive. Why else would I live?

Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.  Do you believe this?"\n\nJesus has opened a pathway for us to know and love God while we live and to enter in to his presence after we die.

I don't think you have to believe in God to believe in some kind of afterlife, there are many relgions in the world each one with it's own beliefs and viewpoints.  I personally believe in a soul, but that does not automatically mean I believe in Heaven.  I do believe something wonderful will happen when I die, I am just not sure what that is yet, and I hope it is along time before I find out.  Maybe he was there, because evryone was thinking about him.  It's hard to say.

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.

What makes you think you have to have a firm decision of what awaits you after death?  Unless you ask someone who has died, you aren't going to know, so why agonize over it?  You'll find out when you get there.  Right now, you're here, so pay attention to one thing at a time.\n\nVarious religions have different beliefs about the afterlife that they hold firmly as hope for a better world and compensation for the suffering they've endured in this one.\n\nPeople without religious beliefs, or those who have chosen to spurn their family's faith, often believe that there is nothing after death.  Those thoughts often begin with a basis in not wanting to believe there is a hell to punish them - the rest just falls into place.\n\nDeath is the big unknown, so naturally there is a lot of speculation about it, and has been, down through the ages.  That's why most religions offer something of an answer.  Some have a heaven (of various names), some have repeated cycles of life on Earth to offer more learning experience, some - oh you get the drift here.\n\nIt's natural for humans to fear what they don't know, and since we don't know what follows death, some are afraid.  Others have religious guidelines to follow, and fear is alleviated, often replaced with anticipation or even joy.\n\nWhichever category you fall into, the fact still remains that we won't know until it happens to us, individually.  Why waste your energy worrying about it?  Make your own decision about what you believe, let everyone else alone to make theirs, and get on with your life.

Here's what All About has to say in regards to this subject.\n\n___________\n\nWhat have we learned from life after death experiences? \n\nWe have all heard stories of people who have seemed to be dead - without vital signs for several minutes - only to be revived. Many of these people tell of traveling at high speeds through tunnels or of seeing brilliant white lights or even of coming face to face with God. \n\nThese life after death experiences raise many questions that directly reflect on Christianity - questions like, "What happens when we die?" and "Is it possible to communicate with the dead?" \n\nEven Christian believers disagree on what the Bible says on these matters. Some say those who die fall into a kind of dreamless sleep until Judgment Day. Others say the souls of the dead are immediately subjected either to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether they believe in Jesus. Still others say our souls remain conscious, but exist in a kind of limbo until the Day of Judgment arrives. \n\nLife after death experiences presuppose the soul remains conscious and aware after death. Those who have these experiences often report they retain the ability to see, to hear, to think, to feel - but they are unable to communicate with anyone. While the experience may be confusing, people report they are suffused with joy - partly as the result of being removed from the suffering of the body. \n\nIt is interesting that many life after death experiences are accompanied by a distinct sense of being two people - one physical and one spiritual. And the spiritual being is completely indifferent to the suffering self. \n\nPerhaps this is one reason the Apostle Paul tells us to die to ourselves, putting God ahead of our selfish desires: \n\n"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). \n\nResearchers report that about one in seven of those who are revived in such circumstances report seeing a brilliant light or even beings they interpret as angels, Jesus, or God. Some people report a sense of having their lives "reviewed." \n\nThe effect of the review is often beneficial and may lead some to accept God, others to rededicate themselves to what they perceive as God's purpose for them. \n\nSome Christians have claimed that after-death experiences are beyond the purview of God and are therefore demonic in nature. But it seems unlikely that being subjected to demonic influences would lead so many people to a closer walk with God. \n\nIn Luke 9:50, Jesus is asked by His followers what to do about a man who is casting out demons even though he is not a disciple. Jesus replies, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you." \n\nIn fact, for God to be truly omnipotent, He must be in control of these sojourns into death. Perhaps He uses them to direct His people. \n\n\nLife After Death: Why is it Such a Hot Topic?\nLife after death -- Why all the interest? Combine events like September 11th with the demographic phenomenon of the Baby Boom generation reaching its 50’s, and suddenly the reality of death from catastrophe and death from mere old age are upon us in a personal way. \n\nSo, it appears that more and more people are asking the same question that Job asked nearly 4,000 years ago in the Bible: "If a man dies, will he live again?" What could be a more fundamental question of life (and death)? Reincarnation theories are popular in Eastern religions as well as the many New Age variants. It seems people are comfortable with the idea of another chance to return to earth and figure things out or make things right. Some nihilist thinkers believe that death is the absolute end; but contrary to what many might think, most people believe that death is not the end. In some shape or form we go on. \n\nWhen Jesus was talking

I beleive in reincarnation, therefore afterlife and before life are the same time, it's really just between lives.  I also beleive that you choose your own life(you want to learn from your life).  That  could be a major part of before life.

Not past lives, but everyone will have a future life, but only one. When everyone dies, they will either go to heaven or hell, depending if they live for jesus or not. Heaven and hell is just as real as earth, so make sure to surrender your heart and soul to jesus and serve him the rest of your life, and then you WILL go to heaven when you die.\nP.S. Each place if forever, so once your there, there is no turning back... So I pray that you make the right choice... which is to believe in Jesus and live for him for the rest of your life.

Yes,Of course! According to various religious beliefs, there is definitely a new life after death. The bodies, after death, will be disposed off, but the life in the body, that is the soul, will be born again in another form, either as an animal or a human being again!. there are various instances wherein,some children have spoken of their earlier life with details,as to what he/she was in the previous birth, the location, parents, aquiatances, etc. On physical verification by impartial bodies, these have been found fully factual, and correct.
