Couldn't find a suitable fitting so here it is?? - 98% of us must have thought about this little phenomena from time to time. But here is my new slant on it. Don't get too excited just exploring! - I sit on my front balcony most evenings in good weather and often think about my lovely parents past and gone and my youngster brother taken with leukemia 15 yrs ago ; and I'm still here! - I sit in a small wooded glade and if not too lazy would show you some amazing pics - I'm still working on that.

. But heh here's the thing - I wish out most evenings ; Ok we either believe there is a life after this one and not just as death and no more or not. But as I sit out I justy wish for a visit from Ma and Pa and Bro but no luck - I have of course realized that they are more precious to me than gold but just no response. We can speculate of course that there in fact is no God or Angels etc and no life after death or the opposite. I would of course be very interested in David's view on this ! So there I sit waiting mostly patiently and all is just forest peasceful with not a whisper! any thoughts anyone?
 
Well, there is, in fact, life after death, just not in the way you are imagining it in this context. All things in life die and become other living things. The forest and every living thing on earth has died a million times over, and yet they are still there. The energy that is in life is just recycled. From the time you were a single cell till now, all the molecules in your body have come from things your mother ingested, and you ingested after birth. They collectively became "you". When you die, the reverse happens, you eventually become them, and again, eventually they become part of other things.

However, the conscious concept of "you" is another matter. What is the "me" that is in my mind? I kinda think of it as an ongoing mental image you mind has constructed of itself. The "you" that you are experiencing now has been updated from the "you" that you were experiencing when you were 10. It's just a fluid concept that the brain builds from information and experience.

I think when a person dies, that dies as well. The life energy goes on, but the "you" doesn't. That's my view of this subject.

My friend's little brother saw his dad wave at him, when he just died. He was in white and going up to heaven. The brother became a missionary. My FIL saw his family members, but that was just before he died. They came to accompany him to heaven.

Ian McCormack was an atheist who got stung by 5 box jelly fishes while diving. He got saved last minute and saw Jesus and was dead for 45 minutes. He could go to heaven, but he wanted to go back for his mom.

The night after my late husbands funeral I had went to bed fallen asleep with my door closed
because my sons were still up watching TV. I don't know how long I was asleep but I sensed
a light and thought one of them was looking in to see if I was asleep yet maybe wanting to talk.
I opened my eyes and the hall light was on and there in the doorway was my husband.
He simply asked "are you OK?" I answered him "We will be fine, don't worry" and he was gone
and the door was closed and dark again.
This was not a memory, it may have been a wishful need. I won't know for sure until I am gone.
But is was a nice feeling that soothed me at the time.
I don't need an analysis of this please, it's something I remember dear to me.
 
I know there is pure energy that once was me. I had an NDE and traveled outside my body in this energy. I watched the medics try to bring me back. My energy could think, see, move around and understand what was happening. I don't for sure know how long this energy gos on, but I do know it's there.
 
Just as a philosophical question, do the loyal followers of all life-after-death religions live on after they die?

The only things that have me wondering is when something happens and you immediately think of someone who died trying to get in touch with you.

When my cousin died, there was a loud crash in the kitchen like the sound of an entire drawer of silverware hitting the floor. My first thought was of her. Sure enough it was on Facebook that she passed away.

I never found anything out of place in my kitchen.

I had to giggle a bit on your post. Couple weeks ago I posted about looking into the grave lots my Mom left unused. Everything I tried
kept leading me that I had to contact my sisters. I was reluctant because my one sister and I hadn't spoken to each other in nearly
20 years (mutual agreement in friendly terms). Well I had to call them both and her and I sat and talked for over 2 hours, laughing and
catching up. Then my sister who is not a believer busts out laughing and says "Do you think Mom had a hand in this?" One never knows
does one? We now call each other about twice a week

My daughter was ready to date. So she joined a dating site. She had a couple dates but nothing promising. Then one night she sees the guy she dated 13 years before.

She messages him. They live within a couple miles of each other so they get together. They're engaged now. Wedding in August. We both wondered if my late wife had anything to do with it.

There may be something. I have no real feelings one way or another. However, when my mom broke her shoulder and wrist, we moved her to a private care home. I bought her a special blanket to keep he warm. When It got to the end, suddenly, she sat up a bit, opened her eye's and looked past us and said, "hello mother". Then she was gone. I keep that blanket in the garage and always have it handy when I work on the car... just in case she decides to stop by and say hello. ❤️❤️

I don't believe and I don't disbelieve. I just try to keep an open mind.

My only experience was living in what I swear was a haunted house. And I've had people who I trust tell me their experiences with seeing people after they died. These were not people who would make something like this up.

If it is directly after they died I think it's true that they see the people, but some people see ghosts who wander around. I think those are demons. A guy on a Dutch forum could go out of his body and he went through walls and saw the inside of a wall, but he stopped doing it because a psychic warned him that it was dangerous.

He was always making fun of christians for being so silly to believe in God, but then just said stuff like: oh yes there near that house in that wood is always a huge demon. He said he saw ghosts and demons. I said: That can't be. They must be demons. He thought that was silly from me.

After I divorced I needed a house and could rent one. Later I heard from people that it used to be a sex shop. I lived there with 3 kids and I had lived together with a guy there.

My son was 3 or 4. He said: What are all these people doing here? People? What are you talking about? I see all these people here. I said: Oooh those must be demons. I'll kick em out. I said it in a 'don't worry' tone as if it was the most normal thing in the world, to not upset him.

So I said: Go away in Jesus' Name. He says happily, not scared or anything: I see one coming out of you too! Aaaaaaaah!!!! Call ghostbusters! So I called my ex and he came over to kick em out. He asked our son: Do you still see them? They went to the baby room, he says. He kicked em out there and son saw em leave. That was the one and only time he saw such a thing.
 
Yes.

My Mom was a Jew, Dad was Catholic, and my 1st wife was a Mormon. I'm intimately familiar with those 3 religions. I also had a long term relationship with a Methodist and was a pretty close friend of 2 Muslims who worked at a restaurant I managed for 4 years. They were brothers.

I am very confident that those religions, and probably all religions, are almost completely wrong about the afterlife.

You make a good point, Murrmurr. IMO what happens to us after death is so strange and wondrous that it is unimaginable. We don't know what we don't know.

Presumably we don't enter whatever the afterlife is in our present form. I'll guess that there are other dimensions that come into play, but of course that's only a hunch.

There simply are no facts. So it's all a matter of faith and imagination.
