Make sure every person in my life knows how much I love them..I'd make sure every one who has done me wrong knows I forgive them and I'd just spend every minute enjoying my family and friends...I'd prob do some things I'd never done before..I'd get over my fears....like heights and speaking in public....I'd make sure i was saved so I can go to heaven

Life after death is no longer a life.\nLiving would mean meeting your maker, no 'body' to protect or shield you, imagine your eyes able to see at all angles, no voices from the mouth but the heart. No languages, no hunger to feed. Only the rest of the universe with One God.

If I could go back then I would go back to when I was born and try to stop some of the things  i did and change some things and help out the people that needed help and were scared to ask for it. If was able to do that they might still be alive and made a differnce in life. 2nd 1 I would go back to when jesus was hung on the cross and carry the cross for him and thank him for dying for all of us

They will come back here again until they learned there lesson.\nThere are levels.\nLook you can live in Africa and suffer everyday of hunger,\nyou can be a standard worker who every day have to suffer his job to bring money home for food.\nOr you can be a bill gates type and have every thing you want, but still suffer other things.\nyou also can suffer from bad disease or other ways.\nDepending on how bad you are and what you did in your past life.\nThe lowest level you can come back is as an animal or insect. \n\nIf you're a real good person you will say goodbye to the earth forever and go to Paradise.

Yes I believe in life after death, I also think reincarnation might exist.  I have seen ghosts.

If I had to pick one of your options it would be 5=> God is present in our own self and enjoying his creation through us.\n\nWhile I am very uncomfortable with a personification of God, I do believe that there is divine energy that runs through each of us and everything in this existence.  I believe that our consious mind is tapped into that energy and that we can direct it as we navigate through this life.  \n\nI think that when we die we will return to source as it were and be reunited with this energy source.  I believe this energy source is commonly called god and the reuniting is more commonly called heaven.  I think after a brief rest at home (heaven) we will set back out to learn more things using a new lifetime to learn new lessons.

The afterlife (or life after death) is a generic term referring to a continuation of existence, typically spiritual and experiential, beyond this world, or after death.  Most religions have theories about the afterlife.

As with every hypothetical situation I will answer with what I would hope my response would be (whether I would or not can't be answered without actually experiencing the situation). Having said that, my answer would unequivocally be yes - I will eventually have eternity to spend in Heaven with God and all His glory, so I would welcome the opportunity to return to earth on a mission to save others. Christ was willing to do it - how could I be any less willing?

I would choose to be omniscient.\n\nIf I knew all, I would theoretically be capable of not only knowing 'why I am here', but be able to do anything.\n\n:-)

Put it this way assume that it does not exist and try to live your life in a positive way so that your actions in this life live forever by benefitting those around you. That way if you come back you can see all the good work you've done!

Your question assumes that I have a life now.  People keep telling me to get a life, so I might have a problem answering you. :-P\n\nSeriously, whether you believe there is life after death depends on what you believe about religion.  If there is a God, then there is a good chance that we have a soul that survives after death.  If there is no God, then it's less certain.\n\nIt's hard to tell whether there is a spiritual world around and beyond us that we can't see.  Despite a lot of testing, no scientist has ever found a ghost, or confirmed a miracle.  But, there are many stories told by people whose bodies have died for a short time and then been brought back to life by doctors.  All of these people tell the same story, even though they've never met.  They all went through a sort of tunnel of light, moving upward to a place of great peace and joy.  Some describe reaching that place briefly and encountering God.  If you are interested in these "near-death experiences," I recommend that you read the work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who took down many such stories.\n\nYou also have to take into account all of the reports of miracles and visions that people have experienced throughout history, and continue to experience today.  Scientists have found non-spiritual explanations for some of these things, but not all of them.  They all point toward the existence of God (or many gods), and many of the visions describe an afterlife.\n\nYour question leads to another important question: Since we do not know for certain whether there is an afterlife, how should we live in this life?  Should we live in the way we think is "good," even if it's sometimes hard; or should we go ahead and do whatever we want to do?\n\nThe brilliant French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, looked at your question hundreds of years ago.  He came up with a solution, which is known as "Pascal's Wager."  ("Wager" is another word for "bet.")  Pascal, who was a Christian, believed that the Bible contained God's advice for how to live.  He figured that if there was a God, then God's advice for how to live must be "good."  He also figured that, if there was no God, then there probably was no afterlife, either.\n\nHe said: "Okay.  Let's say that I live my life in a good way.  If there is no afterlife, then my life on Earth will be okay, but uncomfortable at times.  If there is an afterlife, then I will go to Heaven.\n\n"Now, let's say that I don't live in a good way.  If there is no afterlife, then I've had an okay life with no discomfort, because I've done whatever I wanted to do.  But if there is an afterlife, then I will go to Hell.\n\n"So, if I live a good life, the best thing that can happen is that I'll go to Heaven.  At worst, I'll have an okay life with some pains in the butt.  If I live a 'bad' life, the very best thing that can happen is an okay life with no pains in the butt.  At worst, I'll go to Hell.\n\n"No matter what, if I'm good I'll come out way better, or at worst only a little worse-off, than I will if I'm bad.  So, I'll be good."\n\nThat's how Blaise Pascal figured out that, regardless of whether there's an afterlife, it's better to live according to a set of good rules than to go around doing whatever you want.  People all around the world still follow his advice today.

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.
