You are dead and that is it

[L!VE FREE!]

It's an interesting question. I don't believe in ghosts or any of that other nonsense really.

However that being said, I believe in the spiritual/God because I have a faith that I subscribe to. Normally that's contrary to my MO but I buy into it because I've put it's claims to the test and speaking from my life, they've been proven valid and came true. I've tried "doing my own thing" and trying to achieve/accomplish the same things without believing in an invisible man/men in the sky, but failed. It seems strange to me that this certain 'frequency' seems to work.

So all that being said, even though I have pretty strong convictions....death is still a great unknown to me. Unfortunately I've had to deal with death in family and friends since a young age and still haven't come to a solid conclusion about it. When we die is it like a computer shutdown? The processor dies and the computer can't operate any longer? Also when we fall asleep it's total darkness besides the occasional dream. That's weird. We don't know we're asleep.

But regardless of what happens after death, I take comfort in the fact that I've lived a good life and tried to make the world a better place, so whatever.


But srsly guiz:

believing that there is no after life or "god" per se takes just as much of a leap of faith as believing does exist

the only honest humans are the one who admit they don't know anything

the brown lady..

quite a legend here in England

so the only evidence is a Munsters TV Series looking picture......   for the afterlife.  but I guesss the ones who know nothing, truely, are the most of all free.

So nature is nature ....  beautiful nature...      maybe someday we will be visted by Aliens...

As a result of an arrogant and pragmatic Western education, I have absolutely no belief in afterlives, spirits, voodoohoodoo or ghosts etc. Human personality is determined by neurotransmitters moving across membranes. We are all a part of the carbon cycle: after we die we rot and become part of the earth once again.

If that upsets your ego, then perhaps you have a difference in chemicals in your brain from myself. I've accepted the fact that I will expire like every organism, and that what I believe is my soul is actually a mixture of chemicals that will decompose with me.

The human brain is an amazing piece of equipment. In a universal context, we've discovered so much, and there's still more to come. We've achieved so much as a species. Those discoveries are a result of greats like Newton, Einstein, Mendeleev, Flemming, Oppenheimer etc. Imagine where we'd still be if we lived our lives according to ten laws in a 2,500 year old piece of heresay. I resent the church trying to stifle scientific development simply to protect their own existence.

Science is now beginning to explain the work of 'the gods'. We don't have all the facts, but soon we will. It won't happen in our lifetime, but we will advance to a point where the educated can finally explain the 'truths' in the bible.

Doubt it... What are your opinions on this K. You're a clever girl, what do you think about voodoohoodoo?

[Karin_Sixx]

I'm really torn on this one.
I don't really believe in god, I think if I were to choose a religion it would be Buddhism.
I like the idea of reincarnation also.
I almost believe that ghosts exsist, I even think I saw one when I was a lot younger, but there's always that doubt, so I'm not really sure.

[sunnyp]

Where were you when you saw the ghost? What happened?

[Karin_Sixx]

It's a bit strange really, it was my nan standing at the end of my bed, she had died before I was born.
The next day we found out that my grandad had died during the night.

[sunnyp]

Did you wake up and see her, as if she were standing in front of you? Or did you feel a presence in the room?

[Karin_Sixx]

I saw her, she was standing at the foot of my bed.
I woke up, but then I started screaming because I was only about 11 and pretty freaked out then I hid under the covers.
Maybe it was just a dream but that's a totally freaky coincidence.

[sunnyp]

I've had some pretty freaky dreams too. This one time, I was in my last year of middle school in Southampton, so I was probably about the same age (11 or so). It was the last day of term so we were allowed to bring sweets and board games into school. I was playing monopoly and eating a gold quality street (one of the hard caramel ones), when I had this immense deja vu experience... I properly spazzed out. Down to the taste in my mouth and the exact place where I was sitting with my school uniform on.

It's never happened to me again as strongly. Personally, I think weird dreams are part of being a kid.

De ja vu is something that becomes more infrequent and weaker with. i'd guess its the same with dreams.

[Karin_Sixx]

I love a bit of De ja vu, I've had it strongly before, I actually had it a few days ago.
