Discussion What do you think happens after you die?

[supremacyofdeath]

I used to firmly believe there was nothing else after death. No reincarnation, no restart, no afterlife. Just nothing forever. Not even thoughts. We simply would just stop. It ends there.
I always described it as the feeling of when you sleep and immediately wake up. Time has passed, lots of time yet for you it was just a split moment. You don't remember it. That's how I imagine it. Sorta.
But after meeting my sweetheart I've began to hope that even in death I can still be with her. I always imagine us having a romantic little canoe ride across the styx (like Italy canals) as we go into the underworld together.
Maybe even an eternal nothingness with just her warm presence in my arms forever. Anything with her. She'd be my heaven in hell.
Her or nothing pretty much.

I believe that every living thing has energy that some call the soul. I pray that the part of us that is consciousness and ego is somehow absorbed back into the whole and that the energy we have lives on by joining something greater, the sum of all the spirits. I'd like to believe I'd recognize my kids and that some part of that survives but I doubt it.
