I don't like when people die, and I hate when they get hurt. I do find the question of what happens afterwards fascinating, both from a practical and a spiritual viewpoint. I may be morbid, but I am not at all sadistic. In case you were wondering.
@janallmac
First, you aren't morbid or sadistic. You are expressing normal curiosity about what happens after we die. I know that from my own spiritual beliefs, I believe that we are energy and after our physical bodies die our energy lives on. I also believe in reincarnation.
What are your thoughts and feelings?
@Spagesgallo1 @janallmac I believe that's beautiful.
I have found no scientific evidence to support life after death. I've come to accept that...while we build for the future, the only thing that matters is the here and now. The love and the life and the energy of now.
There is scientific evidence that our universe will disintegrate into subatomic particles. I would not want an eternal soul that could outlive the stars in the sky.
@janallmac @Spagesgallo1 EVERYTHING GREAT gets tedious.
Perpetual joy or ecstasy? To what end?
Our ancestors? We ran away from them for a reason.
Communion wih a higher being? No need, I have my canine companion.
At this moment in time, I can't even imagine a greater heaven than the one I'm living in now.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Spagesgallo1
I wish more people would realize that. 🤗
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Spagesgallo1
Also, dogs already are a higher being, if you ask me. 😁
@janallmac
There is no time after one dies. One is truly existing in the present. Unlike what most people do now. Very few people are able to remain totally present in the now. People tend to still look at the past or future. That is not living in the present.

@Spagesgallo1
That's kind of what I think, too. Don't even ask me how to prove it scientifically, because I couldn't! 😂
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
I just tried to explain it with the example of my uncle's NDE. There has been extensive studies done on NDE. He had his NDE in 1986.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Spagesgallo1 @janallmac
You are beating your heart without even thinking about it. In the same way you are shining every star and doing everything of the universe right now.
I understand and respect your beliefs. Everyone has their own beliefs. But I
do believe in life after death. I don't subscribe to any dogma. I'm just coming from a spiritual perspective. I believe that we live many lives and keep coming back until we learn the lessons we need to learn.
As for the Universe's expected demise! I don't buy it. The Universe is so expansive that we have only seen a small fraction. We have no idea about everything about the Universe.
@Spagesgallo1 @janallmac your spiritual light shines through.
Thank you! I try! But we are all made up of light and we all shine our beautiful bright light everyday! 😊✨️💛
@Spagesgallo1 @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @janallmac
It's so nice to see people discussing and disagreeing on spiritual matters, without going all Jihad-y or Crusade-y on each other ;)
It's the CoSo way :)
@ceorl @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @janallmac
Yes, it really is refreshing to have a civil discussion, despite not agreeing. It's a wonderful thing that we can still respect and honor the other person's perspective. We are doing this adult thing the right way! 😊
It truly is the CoSo way!
By the way, have you ever heard about NDE? There have been extensive studies about thousands of people who have had NDE. My uncle had a NDE when he was having OHS. He described every single detail of what he saw transpire in the OR as they were trying to revive him. He told my cousin what happened and my cousin spoke with the surgeon who confirmed everything.
@Spagesgallo1 @janallmac I hope you're right but really, if there's an afterlife without my wife and dog, meh.
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @janallmac
No worries. They'll be right there with you. ❤️That's why I'm not afraid of dying. I know it's going to be a grand reunion! 😊
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN @Spagesgallo1
Yes, that would be horrifically boring. I would hope that if there is life after death, it doesn't have anything to do with time. Or the universe. 🤔 How awful.
