Birds, it turns out, are emissaries of the dead. According to Engler, "They will do something unusual to get your attention." — Lizzy Acker
While this 'prospect' appeals to me (à la What Dreams May Come – 1998 film, not the book), "experience after death" and "stuck in time" make no sense, which leaves me convinced that life — a complex, ecology-situated, informational process aka "living" — simply ceases when we die, no matter how we die or have lived, and, thereby, is even more reason for each of us to live as good a life we as can, every day, every hour ... for as long as we're able to, for living's own sake. :fire:He is convinced of the importance of living a good life because our experience after death depends on where our head is at when we die. Death being sort of like being stuck in time. — Athena
It seems to me that the question of an afterlife is a curious one because, on the one hand, if I do continue to live after I die, then by definition I will know it, whereas, on the other hand, if I do not continue to live after I die, then by definition I will not know it. So, essentially, I can only know the former, but not the latter, state-of-affairs, after I die. — charles ferraro
The question is what is the truest state of being 'awake'? — Jack Cummins
At the moment of brain death our consciousness exits stage left and is never again seem on the stage. That's why death is a tragic event: there's nothing after death. Which is why many people heartily believe in a happy heaven afterlife. If you want to make death much worse, you can teach children that there is a ghastly hell, and they will probably spend eternity there because their behavior and thoughts are BAD.
For me, the finality of death adds to the goodness of life. Time goes by so fast when you are alive.
Remember: It's is a once-around world, a once around life. And when you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer. In Heaven there is no beer, which is why we drink it here. — Bitter Crank
In your post you speak of life being fast because it is in 3D. I would just suggest that life has 4, 5 and perhaps many more. I am inclined to think that if consciousness exists beyond death, may be in a different dimension to the one we are accustomed to in daily life. — Jack Cummins
There's the fact that two separated particles can interact instantaneously, a phenomenon called quantum entanglement. ... And there's another phenomenon called quantum superposition. This principle of quantum mechanics suggests that particles can exist in two separate locations at once.Dec 28, 2015
