Is There A Life After We Die?
Life After Death
Most people I talk too they are not very happy or comfortable tp talk about death. I must admit it is not a very pleasant conversation to have but sometimes I do think about it and i will call myself a liar if I say I like death. No I do not but it is part of the cycle of life, We came into this world alone and we will leave alone, like birth death is reality and it needs to be recognised and celebrated.
When we loose a loved one we intend to cry. Why are we crying for? For the friend just gone or for us left behind to live the rest of what is left? Why share the tears , we are going to kiss them of course but think about it instead of cry we should celebrate his life. Celebrate the fact he lived his life , glad we were part of his life and happy to get to know them. Why cry?
f dzFrom a very young age I use tio think that people whu scared to die they create stories to make them feel comfortable. Like we are coming back as another person, we live hundred times and some of us wish they are coming back this time with wealthy status etc.
Religious beliefs, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism, frame reincarnation as a cycle of life, death, and rebirth that a soul experiences until it achieves liberation (moksha or nirvana). Philosophically, some see it as a way to explain the continuity of “I-consciousness” despite a changing body, while others find anecdotal evidence in the recalled memories of children or through altered states of consciousness like hypnosis.
Here is what someone believes about recarnation.
Reincarnation has been a belief of mine for quite some time. Sometimes I’ll talk to people about it and it boggles my mind how many people don’t believe in it. I can see the majority of people in this sub believe nothing happens after death. Of course we’re all entitled to our own beliefs. Whether it’s reincarnation, heaven, hell, or the void. I’m going to display why I feel so positive that reincarnation is what truly happens.
So at some point, YOU didn’t exist. You were in a state of non existence. Then, out of nowhere, you were born and came to existence. One day, you’re going to die. It could happen in 5 years, or 500 years if we have some kind of reverse aging technology. Then, you will go back to non existence. You see where I am going with this? Is it really crazy to assume that maybe, just maybe, YOU will exist again? If you want from non existence, to existence, and then back to non existence, it only makes sense that you’ll then, go back to EXISTENCE!
Another thing people fail to realize is that if you believe in reincarnation, half of your belief already came true. Think about it for a second. You literally came to life. Reincarnation is the belief that it’s just simply going to happen again. So half of your belief has already come true. However, no one has actually been to heaven, hell, or experienced the void. So reincarnation comes the closest to actually being real because we’ve already experienced half of it.
If you take a look at nature, everything is always on a loop. Day and night repeats itself. The weather repeats itself. The trees lose their leaves and then get them back. People die and then people are born. The Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is rounded up to 24 hours. Even though time is a made up concept. This is why I believe so strongly that we will reincarnate. If everything is on a loop, my existence to non existence and then back to existence theory makes even more sense. This existence we live in, as far as we know, is infinite!
This next section I know I’m going to lose a lot of you. But it’s ok! I also do believe there is some sort of afterlife. Maybe a temporary place we go to so we can figure out our next journey. Maybe we really can be reborn onto other planets. Maybe I’ll be reborn as me again but in a parallel universe where I’ll get to make different decisions. Maybe we will reincarnate into higher planes of existence in bodies that are more advanced then the human body. What if humans aren’t the final form and we just think it is because we haven’t seen what’s truly out there?
The possibilities are truly endless in this infinite universe. The only downside is we won’t actually know that we reincarnated because every life is going to feel like our first lives. But it’s always made the most sense to me. If I am correct, to the person reading this, I hope your next life is better then the one you’re living now!
Fourth Opinion
So at what point do you stop being you? I don’t understand your definition of a “self”. You can be reborn into a whole different alien body in a parallel universe and have no metaphysical link to your previous lives but yet you are still you?
I personally consider our lives are nothing but a random configuration of atoms and molecules and with their particular motions, they generate the conscious sensation that we all experience for a limited time.
But I can’t see a connection from that to what would be an inherent catalyst for it to happen again and again and again. Unless perhaps if we include the multiverse theory, and there could then be a copy of you existing in that universe. But would that be considered reincarnation? I don’t know the rules of this belief. But with the multiverse theory and it being infinite then everything that could happen, would happen. Forever.
However, to be frank with you, to go this far with stonertalk trying to cope with the totality of everything seems so extremely exaggerated when you might as well just say we’re hooked up into a simulation and call it a day.
Fifth Opinion
This life did not feel new at all to me. In fact, I remember saying to myself at about age two, ”what am I doing here? Who are those people (my family) didn’t I just do all this?” I had a real problem articulating what I was going through when I was young because in the 3rd or 4th grade I didn’t know anything about reincarnation. I had never heard of past lives at that point and I walked around in a fog confused why I had all these intense emotions/memory flashes from my previous life which let’s just say…probably was not my best life. I was triggered by smells and also being in large gardens would trigger flashes of memories
I knew were not from this life. I was a very aware child at a young age and I could carry on a conversation with myself as I do now, before I could speak.
My memory goes back to about age two, in this life. I have a pretty good idea who I was in the previous life. I’m not a religious person but I do hope God is forgiving
Your life your beliefs
For humans who have become captive to Christ’s will, spending much more time on Earth means delaying the receiving of rewards that are so great that “‘no human mind has conceived’ the things God has prepared for those who love him……………………………….For humans who have become captive to Satan’s will, spending much more time on Earth means they will be tormented more in hell as a consequence of them committing more evil deeds on Earth
Second person beliefs.
Here’s how I see it: When we die, our consciousness ceases, but our energy is transferred to another consciousness, leading to a new birth. This cycle continues indefinitely. Although we become different individuals, the energy that provides consciousness and awareness remains the same throughout eternity.
The question is whether this energy is exclusive to human consciousness or if it extends to all living beings. I’m still uncertain about that part. However, like you, I am convinced of reincarnation. It’s the only explanation that has ever resonated with me, especially as an agnostic atheist. At the end of the day, no matter how much we humans speculate, we will never truly know the truth. Our beliefs, no matter how confident we are in them, remain just that…beliefs, not objective truths
Third opinion
Let’s say i burn a sheet of paper. I then let it consume and the fire goes out. There was no fire, now there is some fire, the next moment the fire is gone.
Your first argument indicates that it makes more sense for the fire to be ignited again, but how? The source of energy (the paper) is no longer there, and even if I added more and ignited it again, it wouldn’t be the same fire, would it? Actually, the only thing it would have in common with the first fire would be the arsonist and probably the lighter, if i decided to use the same one.
The part about 50% of the argument being true is applicable to all other beliefs? We all know we are born and die because we can experience and witness that, and the other 50% is what we believe in because we don’t have an actual proof of that being true.
If you look at nature, only some things happen in a loop. The dinosaurs became extinct and there’s no signs of them coming back. An old star collapses into a black hole and there’s no coming back from that. Hellium atoms are cooked in the heart of stars producing atoms of carbon which won’t turn back to hellium anytime soon. A rock falls from a cliff and it’s not going back up unless somebody moves it to the top. My cat died last week and he won’t be coming back to play with me anymore and, if I get another cat, it will have another name and behave differently, it won’t be the same cat.
Actually if you look at if from a physics point of view, nothing should be cyclical unless there’s an input of Energy in the system, since total entropy can only increase (which explains what happens with the stone or the star that consumes its fuel).
Your last point is the most interesting one to me: if two beings have a different body, live in different times, different places and even different planes, and have zero recollection of living other lives, what makes them the same being? How can you say one is the reincarnation of the other, when they have nothing in common? Going back to my first example, it is like me telling you that the fire I lit last year in my house in Madrid is a reincarnation (uh, let’s better call it reinflamation) of the fire I lit 20 years ago while camping in Argentina.
My main issue with reincarnation is that I don’t see the point. I understand people who believe there’s nothing beyond death, because they look at it from a purely physical point of view.
I understand people who believe in an afterlife, because they believe in an immortal soul that will trascend their physical existence.
But I don’t understand reincarnation because it seems pointless: you are expected to learn in a lifetime things you didn’t learn before, in several past lives. Cool, do I know where I screwed up before? no? What the hell then? If I fumbled my past 325.059 attempts, what makes you think I will nail this one with zero input of what i did wrong last time?
And I also don’t like its approach of: we have an immortal soul but it gets a memory reset each time we die and it must go back to the physical world. Like, why? The physical world has an expiry date. Eventually, all the energy in the universe is going to be consumed and it will go dark and all life forms will perish. Why do we need our souls to be tied to a birth-death-rebirth cycle when the universe isn’t and, most importantly, why don’t we get to keep the memory, if we keep the soul. Does this mean that we will eventually trascend but will have zero memory of even our last life? So I have to reach trasncendence in order to forget what I did to reach it, and my immortal soul which won’t be in any way tied to me can spend quality time with other amnesic beings of light?.
My Comments
I start with number five . He believed he never belonged to his family or he was aking himself What is he doing here? I had exactly the same thoughts and I know hunreds of other they felt the same. This effect is part of the rebellion we have, growing up when we are teenagers we want to go against to everything we were told to do or to read or anything they tell us we rebel. it is part of life nothing alien or new those feelings are shared by thousands in the world I believe. The closest to my believing in recoronation I got to is the Buddhist theories t, they can be debated of course but religion or a way of life is very deep personal issues and nobody can debate those beliefs. I can debate politics or anything else but religion I hold back.
Rev Billy Graham
The idea of reincarnation is attractive to some—the belief that after we die we come back to Earth again. Some people are influenced by other religions; others simply like the thought of being able to live out multiple experiences. To others, it is a terrifying thought
Reincarnation isn’t true, and the life we’re leading now is the only one we’ll ever live. Once we die, we go into eternity—either to Heaven to be with God forever, or to that place the Bible calls Hell, where we will be eternally separated from God and His blessings. What difference should this make? It gives urgency to our lives right now. The Bible says that “now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
There is no chance after death to do life over again. There is a time to be born and a time to die (Ecclesiastes 3:2). In between these bookends is the journey. Sometimes we get tired of the burdens of life and wish we could start all over again. We can, with God. He desires that we walk His way through the one life He has granted us. We don’t have to waste our lives on things that have no eternal value.
Scripture has much to say about the brevity of life and the necessity of preparing for eternity. Only when a person is prepared to die is he or she also prepared to live. May we turn our eyes from worthless things, and receive the life God wants us to live (Psalm 119:37).
Peace and respect
