do you believe that life is only a one-time thing or do you believe in more than one lifetime

[Darkover]

from a completely scientific standpoint; At death your organs start to shut down, your last bowels are released, your heart and blood stop pumping and your brain has just a few minutes left as the activity slowly dies down (that is, if you die where the brain is left intact). Now some suggest that the light at the end of the tunnel and memories you see flashing before your eyes are the result of oxygen deprivation. Beyond that there is nothing. a nothingness you cannot feel, hear, taste or see. allthough most people are afraid to experience that, but how can you experience someting when you no longer exist?

Oh I hope there is no after life or reincarnation. No thank you
One life is way more than enough for me

 

[FuneralCry]

In my case I very strongly believe that once we die we just cease existing, death is simply the absence of everything where all is forgotten about. Eternal nothingness is all I want and is all that comforts me, all I wish for is the eternal absence of existence, the thought of being permanently unconscious is so beautiful to me.

Your brain has been destroyed, so there is nothing left to process 'you'. Your gone forever.

 

[tbroken]

I hope i have to face this shit only once.

The Conclusion on this question from near death experiences, astral projection and other observations has been dubbed "reincarnation soul trap" recently.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

The exact individual made of the exact same atoms incl. our consciousness lives only once. Whether there is an afterlife or reincarnation it's all speculation.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'm not 100% convinced but I lean towards one life and out.

Believe is irrational, we only know or not.

 

[zeecen]

I believe death is the end. However, it is also comforting to imagine that maybe there is something more. That if we are not still "us" when we go, that we can still become something new with new chances and opportunities. Maybe a person, or an animal that goes on to live a happy life with no memory of our current life. Of course there's no evidence for or against that kind of thinking so it's nothing more than just comforting theories.

 

[J&L383]

Perhaps, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[marchshift]

I believe we live multiple lifetimes. Frustrating.

 

[CocoToxBase]

Oh, absolutely. I'm pretty sure we get multiple shots at this whole 'life' thing. How else do you explain people with inexplicable talents, like being able to remember where you left your keys but forgetting why you walked into a room? Or those who have a supernatural ability to always pick the slowest checkout line? Clearly, these are skills honed over many lifetimes. And let's not forget the ultimate proof of life after death: the mysterious disappearance of socks in the dryer. If that's not evidence of a parallel universe where all our lost items go, I don't know what is. So, yeah, I'm all in on the idea. It makes the mysteries of the universe, like why we crave pizza at 2 AM, all the more fascinating.

 

[sserafim]

One of my worst fears is getting reincarnated into a worse life and finding out that this life wasn't that bad after all

I believe we live multiple lifetimes. Frustrating.

Why do you think so?

Believe is irrational, we only know or not.

No one knows what happens after death though. Dead men tell no tales

 

[Immensevoid]

I really hope that there is only this life. I can't stand this existence anymore, I hope mine will end soon
