Do We have an After-Life?

No, I know its hard for the ignorant people to believe because they are blinded by religious indoctrination, If there is any proof of an after life no one has seen it unless they were tripping out on acid or some other hallucinogen. People need to realize that there is nothing beyond our lives and we must do our best to better the human race instead of fighting wars in the name of "god". Because after this we only rot.

I think we are reborn into a new body but with small fractions of memory of the life we led before.\nI think these bits of memory are there to help us in our new lives.

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?

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.

No one knows for sure. I personally believe that their is some sort of after life. Too much evidence to suggest otherwise. Besides our bodies are made of energy, the energy that makes our hearts beat, and our brain working etc... it is a fact that energy does not just dissipate and disappear. It goes somewhere or takes on a new form. So the energy of our bodies does not just disappear so where does it go? I don't know that yet. When I get their I will let you know. :D

Socrates, whom the Oracle proclaimed was the wisest man ever, said this about death:\n\n-  If after death, there is nothingness, then death is like a dreamless sleep.  (Now, we all LOVE such a wonderful sleep).\n-  If there is an after life, then I get to see Homer and Hesiod, the greatest of all men.\n\nWe can't know what's after life.  You can't use scriptures or ayaats to "prove" what life after death is like because it ain't scientific.  However, you can only know that you shouldn't be afraid of death because whatever happens, it will be good.  Even if it isn't good, then well it happens to everyone who has ever lived.  Thus, might as well accept it.\n\nYou can choose to believe what you want to believe.  Religion gives you hope that there is life after death so you should be moral in this life.  however that begs the question?  How can you live life is all you do is worry about after life?  You can't.  That isn't why God would put you on this earth.  You are here to live and not worry about what happens after death.\n\nRabia Basri, a muslim philosopher, once prayed: "Allah, deprive me of heaven if I pray for the love of heaven, and burn me in hell if I pray because of the fear of hell."  That is living life without looking for rewards or being scared of punishment.

Our consciousness remains after death and exists before birth. Think about it. How much of you is still you if you lose a finger? ane eye? Both legs? If you can still be "you", even if most of you is gone, your consciousness still remains. It doesn't even need you to have conscious thinking (think dreams etc.).\nWhen you die, your consciousness remains. That consciousness can be at peace or disturbed depending on how you lived your life. If you are filled with anger or sorrow or craving you will remain as a conscious being without a body, clinging to the objects or places of your attachments.\n\nHope that helps.

No, but I know some great books you can read if you're interested. They are fantastic and each one gives you a better understanding of just what it is and how it differs for each individual according to their faiths and beliefs. Once I lost my daughter I really wanted to know more about all of that and I thought the best way to prove that there really is life after death was to read about people who had had these experiences. Very Fascinating!\n\nI'm talking about people who actually died and came back to life at hospitals and such. Not something brought on by witchcraft or the choking game.

i've thought about it.  I guess we don't know.  Maybe we wake up when we die.  But then to we go to "heaven" or do we wake up in our real life.  If this is all a dream, then have our "past lives" if we really have had past lives, other dreams as well?

I believe the Universe did start with a bang and slowly expands until one day it begans to retract in upon itself until it eventually ends. The beauty is that at that point, it will start all over. It is the ebb and flow of life, the yin and yang or the life and death cycle. Ultimately there is no real end, just life. \nAs far as what lies at the end ... I would say you decide that. It could be reuniting with loved ones, reuniting with God/Universe, or even reincarting again. There are no limits - not time, not physicality, not anything.

Yes I believe in reincarnation and another plane of existence. I have had an NDE and it opened my eyes to what is going on out there.

You can't experience life after death and be able to talk about on Yahoo Answers, because you wouldn't be able to. However, people DO have near-death experiences (NDEs). The most famous ones were the ones that happened to a man named Dannion Brinkley. He's been interviewed on the late-night talk radio program "Coast to Coast AM" several times.

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.

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.

That is the misconception. Since the beginning of time people have always believed in the after life. Now, we are just more free to express. In ancient times some countrys considered it to be forbidden to speak of any such thing. Some felt if u spoke of the after life u were possessed or a witch or just 2 fries short of a happy meal. Some believe it just gives others something to believe in and makes losing someone easier to deal with. I personally believe that we all have a place to go to whether it be heaven or hell.
