Is the life after death true? And would I meet my wife after my death?

Spiritual life continues after physical death. And, no, you won't meet your wife after you die. Sorry...

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.

reincarnation is not true.. so dont believe it.. instead live life to the fullest and dont hate anyone or envy anyone... love yourself and learn to see other people's good side instead of criticizing them... we only live once.. we cant turn back the hands of time.. so live and be good...

People who have had near death experiences no that consciousness continues after we are clinically dead. Many people have reported floating above their dead body on the operating table and being able to give clear details of what was going on around them, like what the doctors where doing and saying.\n\nWe lived as conscious beings before we obtained physical bodies here on earth and we will continue to live as conscious beings after our physical body dies.

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

This depends entirely on your system of belief.  We all wish we knew what happened when we die.  It is hard to believe that we will just be no more.  Mostly this is because that is the worst possible thing that could happen, to simply not exist.  Many people fantasize about elaborate afterlives because they are scared of this, or have been brought up to believe that.  It all depends on what your spirit now tells you.  The only way to find out is to die.  That is something that we all want to put off as long as possible, just in case.

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.

LONG POST.  Skip if want to.   I have been there once.  I am agnostic.  I am not sure how much weight that will carry in helping you but hope my few words might get the thought process in you motorizing.   Just let me talk about my personal experience.\n\nI don't worry abou the afterlife aspect.  I have pretty much made peace (tho, not 100%...more like 85% to 90%) that my soul will rot along with my body.  My soul is made purely of synapses that happen in my brain matter.\n\nYES, I do still wonder at times what death will be like, and how I might die.  Just natural curiosity and a small fear of simply "not existing" anymore.  That fear or wonderment is perfectly natural.   It is not eternal bliss or eternal damnation or reincarnation that I look forward to to establish my selfish "immortality".  (Imo, it is selfish to me)\n\nI am of the belief that it's the HERE and NOW that matters so much.  I am thinking that my self-assigned purpose is to affect as many people as I can during my --and ours-- lifetime as possible.   I have made others laugh, learn to respect humanity's differences, to be more compassionate.  I attritube some of that success to my being deaf.  In turn, perhaps SOME of them might teach others --their children?-- what they learned.   THAT is my "immortality", Heron.  THAT is my "eternal bliss".  I know in my heart and head that SOME people actually passed it on to their loved ones about being compassionate.  \n\nHeron, Love, I have already had a hard childhood and a hard life.  Part of me is actually looking forward to death as the final escape and a welcome relief from my pains and sorrows of this life.  When I am OLD, when I am OLD!!!!!  :-p  I don't want to committ suicide!  :-p  Relax, peeps!  ;-)\n\nI am also no longer as afraid of simply blinking out of existence.  It's inevitable.  The future that Star Trek espouses, I so badly want to be there, but know I may not live to see it.  I accept that reality.  I just turn my fear of the non-existence into a focus on the HERE and NOW.  I just gape in wonderment of TODAY's science and my imagination SOARS on where it may lead......\n\nA smile at a sad child at Tim Horton's can brighten her whole day.  Years later, when Child is a old woman, she may remember this friendly stranger with the loving smile long after I turned to dust.  In turn, she may return the favor to another sad child she sees at a restaurant.  It's the MEMORY of me that I know will establish my "immortality".  I am hoping in the future, my second cousins or future unborn nieces/nephews will take my poetry (1,000+ already!) and try to publish some of them.  That is also my hope for immortality---just like my beloved poet, Emily Dickinson.\n\nCivilizations come and go.  A thousand years hence, our civilization may not be here anymore.  Religions may no longer exist.   We will no longer be remembered excepting for our own pottery and "ancient items".   Heron, my love, everything comes to an end, just as everything has a beginning.   Both the good and the bad.\n\nWhat is important is to accept your fear as natural....and to gain courage from that fear to take a leap where this may lead you.  All people of faith go through this.  Who knows, Heron, I may "return" to Wicca in the future.  Or be drawn to another religion.  Unpredictability is the magic of life.  :-)   The sooner I accepted that reality, the less I was afraid.  \n\nI was wiccan.  I believed in some of the gods/goddesses.  One day, I was doing the Full Moon ritual.  A thought just popped up out of nowhere that kind of shocked me----"If you are not getting anything out of this praying, hon, STOP doing it.  You are disrespecting the "god" if you pray and don't feel anything out of it!"    After that, I stopped if I felt it would be a "hollow ritual", void of feeling.  Eventually I had to question my wiccan

I was married for 20 years...got to the whole "'til death do you part" portion of the deal.  He was my absolute best friend, husband, lover...soulmate.  I do believe that in long term relationships there is no gray area, you either grow together, or you grow apart.  I have become who I am because of the life we shared and by having to survive his death...I am stronger, more independent, and hopefully one hell of a mother because of it all.

Ask someone who has been there and back. Jesus, Paul, John. They all said heaven is real. So when I die, I will be in eternity. I do not know what that is like, but I know its going to be awesome. I'm just thrilled that my ticket to go there was bought and paid for in advance!!

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?

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?

Yes, God has made His presence known to me a couple times in my life.  I've also had some interesting occurances transpire that lead me to believe in the strong possibility of life after death.  It makes sense to me that our energy transfers to a different state.  Seems scientifically plausible, but it goes beyond our realm of understanding.

No one REALLY knows, but my opinion is that we either cross over into a spiritual world or not - that's easy, yes or no.  If we do, then ghosts certainly are possible.  Our souls are immortal, or they just cease to exist when the body dies.  Maybe some souls haven't crossed over yet, are wandering around for awhile, maybe until something is resolved to them.  Seems there would be many contacts, but there aren't, and I really don't believe in Mediums - the ghosts shouldn't need them.  Ask your mom and grandma about their experiences, if they are willing to discuss them, and learn as much as you can.  Talk to other family members too.  I think they are sincere, or definitely believe, even if possibly they're just having dreams. I wish I knew someone who has ghost experiences.  I hope there is an after-life.  Good luck in finding out.

After you die the brain live for about 7 minutes. \n\nI have heard that these 7 minutes hold the answer to the question, "what is heaven". I believe in this 7 minute unconscious stupor, you dream. And as everyone knows, time passes at a different rate when you dream. So in these 7 minutes you could be in a dream which is perceived as endless. And in this endless dream you re-live your life and dream of a heavenly place. The body can not perceive the difference between dream states and conscious states, and basically reacts the same to both. So in reality you really do go to heaven, and never wake up. But this is conditional of course on how you lived your life. If you die with a guilty conscious, your last dream will be a direct result of the way you lived. For instance you may have a nightmare after you eat late at night, just as you may go to hell in your last eternal dream if you let a miserable existence. I think religious figureheads caught onto this concept early on and have capitalized on it since.\n\nPlease e-mail me to discuss jodiamon@syr.edu or visit my blog which discusses this subject to death at http://krunkbox.blogspot.com/
