Afterlife

[Peter Skellern]

So we all want to leave here. Some of us might believe in an 'afterlife'. I've been discussing it on another thread. If you do, do you think topping yourself (a British phrase) will exclude you from entry and stop you seeing your departed nearest and dearest again?

There is obviously scientific proof to it isnt it? (British sarcasm)

My thought on the afterlife:

Years before you were born, you didn't exist, you were nothing.

Years after you are gone, you will again, be nothing. You will no longer exist.

Do I believe you will see those who passed before you? No.

Maybe. However, as I've detailed in another thread things have happened to me that I just can't explain in any way logically. They'd have to be massively, massively colosal odds coincidences OR some other power at play that we just cant comprehend. I put these happenings in the thread 'Do you believe there is a god'

Yea, but lots of things have happened to people that can't be explained. That doesn't prove that there is a higher being in the sky.

It doesn't but how do you explain them then? Huge colosal astronomical coincidences that are similarly far fetched to believe? I'm not saying there's a higher being just that there's 'something' going on which we don't understand.

I agree, and I believe we will never understand why things happen. I guess it's just a part of life.

I said this in the other thread but I do believe there is a "sphere" or place where spirits abound. I believe we are all here for a reason, just I don't know (can't figure out) why. I do believe we all have a connection to these spirits, just some of us are more intune with the interactions of the spirits due to "coincidences" that have happened in our lives, or things we learned by studying a lot of "spiritual history". (My Christian Sunday School teacher would be aghast to learn her comment of "studying everything you can get your hands on spiritually" led me down the path I am on now.

Finally, I believe Earth is our Mother Spirit and we all return to her one day. Blessed be, to all my friends here. And my friends to be.

I suppose what I'm saying is if you're in the 'Camp' that believes (or thinks there night be a possibility) there's more than colosal chance at play (as per my couple of life instance examples) does anyone think topping yourself will preclude you from the afterlife? And I know we'll never know till we know. I'm just looking for 'opinions'. I obviously hope it doesnt.

No, its rumored that our soul comes here to learn so ctb we are just checkin out early and going back "home"

I don't really care if there is one or not. If there isn't, I'll never get to know that I've "won", and if there is, I'll only know I've lost. Either way, I'm kinda fucked. But I don't see any reason to believe in an afterlife of any sort, so I'll assume there is none

I guess a lot of people here are down that street and nothing wrong with that. I've just had a few things happen to me that can't be explained rationally (no matter how I try) so I think there's almost certainly 'something' going on. I/We don't understand what or how but something.

i am a materialist so yea I definitely have never had an experience like yours, but I'm not going to just assert there to be no afterlife. It's just I don't see any evidence for it, but who knows, maybe once my body hits the ground I'll see something profound and divine, I'm just not going to really put a bet on it I guess.
