My life and death thoughts

[alucardxmeow]

Everyone has a different thought of what happens after you die, or how we came to be.

Theres the scientific theory(Big bang) or religion(Christianity, Muslim, Buddhist, etc)

But I'm here to discuss my own theories/ideas.

Heres what I think:

Respawn
If you die, you will come back alive(or respawn or rebirth) as someone random and continue life off of that person. Example: John and his friend, George, were walking but then John died of a heart attack. John came back to life as george, not remembering any of his past memories except the memories george already had.

Random Time Spawn
Similiar to my "respawn" theory, after you die, you might come back alive from the past or future. Example: Andres died in 1990, he respawned in year 5000.

Spirit
You lack a body, and only your spirit is left, flowing around the world, never ageing but also cannot speak to people. Almost like a hell, except still in the human world, just watching people.

A new world
Suppose there is another "dimension" or world that we do not know of. Nothing is really different, just different worlds. Example: Mike died in "World 1" and he transferred to "World 40".

That's all I can think of right now, most of them or all are very similar to each other.

What do you guys think?

Post your ideas about what happens when you die, or how we came to be!

What exactly does the soul do? Cause I'm not sure I really see the reason to consider that I am currently someone who's just died...

Well you woudn't know that you died, its like my "past life" is dead and the soul is in my body which could be that person's friend or maybe even someone he didn't know!

Not making sense am I?...

Damn, Andres must have done a lot of teamkills to have such a long respawn time !

You haven't given enough information to not make sense.

Does the soul carry something from the past life? Is there some consequence to the soul joining a new body? Does the presence of a soul in your philosophy offer anything more to the conditions you're defining than if there was no soul?

You decompose. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

I had a similar idea to this in high school. But it was that there was one spirit and we all are this one consciousness.

Of course I would love to believe in reincarnation and that we all share a common energy that makes us all human... but I'm pretty sure that death is nothing more than what it appears to be. It's death and when you die your consciousness is probably destroyed on death.

But than again I may be wrong. But if I am, than what is death... there is no way of knowing what really happens when we day. When I came to that conclusion I realized that pondering what happens after life was moot, because there was no way for me to come up with an idea that I could be sure was right. It's all just speculation...

[SirLebowski]

I believe a higher intelligence or power is highly plausible but people personify it. I don't believe it would be directly involved in the lives or individuals or that it has some sense of justice or morality as we see it.

When you look at nature, it's hard to imagine it is random chance, but it's also hard to believe that some higher power cares for you and wants to see you happy and flourish, like we are some cherished ants in an ant farm.

Life after death is the same as life before conception.

But you're personifying this higher power by calling it intelligent and giving it will.

Also consider that we call it chance when we flip a coin, despite all the systems engaged in the situation. I would think the same concept of chance should be applied when talking about nature, though the use of the phrase 'random chance' tends to imply something completely devoid of systems. Funny how semantics can do that.

I believe it very well could be a highly evolved lifeform with will and intelligence, or it could be some strange cosmic and unknowable force, or their could be nothing.

Flipping a coin has only two possible outcomes and the coin was created to have those two possible outcomes. If you look at nature in this way then the question simply becomes, "Okay, so it has a system, but what gave it that system? Why does that system work and what created it?" The question always goes one step further.

1. Assuming the higher power has been and always will be...
... then a system may have been and may always be.

2. Assuming the higher power is one step in an infinite abstraction...
... then there could just have been an infinite abstraction of systems.

In the former there is no further step. In the latter, you're dealing with such an immense scale of time, it becomes just as reasonable to think an infinite number of "coin tosses" created the current system.

How do you know? Do you have any recollection of 'life' before conception? Do you have any idea what 'life' after death entails? IMO it is much more probable that 'life' before conception and 'life' after death are entirely different as there is no valid reason to presume they would be the same other than to assume that there is only one possible existence for humans who are not on earth and thus 'life' before conception and life after death must be the same.

Because no-one has any way of proving or disproving what happens before conception or after death this leads to infinite possibilities for both scenarios as no possibility can reliably be ruled out.

With that said, if there is an infinite amount of possibilities as to what can happen before conception and after death, the chance of both scenarios being the same is infinitesimal.

When you die, you die, thats it, you wont know, you wont realise, it will be nothing. seriousy, ask somone that died, and got brought back to life by cpr or that electrical thingy, they didnt know bout it

[PsychoticMind]

I'm the only person in existance. Everyone else is an empty object that has no really thoughts, but are actually just a set of inputs and responses. When I die I will forget everyhting and be put into a body and live through it again.

It's weird to think that there isn't really any proof that you aren't the only person who really has a soul or some form of cognition.

What about out-of-body experiences?

people make it up, or its just there ind fucking with them, hallucination

You wake up in a futuristic Matrix-like world and it turns out you've just been playing "life" at some local arcade.
