FabSwingers.com forum: Is there an afterlife, Fabsters…

.. or is it a case of when you’re gone, that’s it?

I’ve got to admit when I think about our own individual consciousness I wonder where it exactly came from when we’re born.. it kind of frazzles my brain a bit.

What’s your thoughts on it all?

It’s not for us to know. We’re still spiritually and evolutionarily cavemen. We have a long way to go before we know the answers but there’s is more to this universe than we can possibly imagine. Just like we can’t imagine a colour that we can’t see, it’s not for us to know.

You can see the positivity you have inherited - we just find the attitude generally towards death in Europe very different to Asia and different parts of the world - it would be great if it was more of a celebration of life

I guess the more important question is how does your answer affect the life you know you do have.

What believe is our consciousness and creativity can do things no other living thing can do and that it’s occurred only once in billions of years on a planet with perfect conditions to create life. Drake equation now suggests it’s highly unlikely to exist anywhere else in the universe. So we are pretty special ! But does that mean our souls are immortal ?

Well there is no "Before life" that would just consist of existing in your old man's ballbag. Using the excuse of "I don't remember anything from 0-5" is such a weak argument. Well no you won't remember much from that time because you spent it crying and shitting yourself as an undeveloped infant. The billions of deceased humans that have never, not once, come back from the afterlife is probably concrete enough to know an afterlife is codswallop.

No. Our consciousness seems totally derived from our physical brain neurology. When that's defunct, the slate is wiped clean and it's likely to be impossible to recreate how we once had been as a person.

A similar cognitive weakness that stops me from remembering early life may prevent me from remembering prelife. Eg. You can't see what you can't see. I did way more than shitting myself and crying during 0-5

Flattening out experience to the very basics is definitely congruent with not believing there can be anything other than this physical plane though.

I do understand that...that perhaps raises another question, what is the technical description of death and how long someone or thing can be actually correctly described as dead and then return to life

If all cognitive brain functions have ceased, how is it possible they could spontaneously re start?

That's the distinction between brain death and your heart stopping. The person who "died" on the operating table did not progress to brain death, otherwise they'd not be posting today. They most likely experienced cardiac arrest but their heart was restarted sufficiently quickly to avoid brain death. Having cardiac arrest on an operating table is probably the best place to have one because you are intubated and it's easy to administer sufficient oxygen and carry out cardiopulmonary resuscitation quickly.

This information doesn't (to my mind) lend any credence to the idea of something other than the physical surviving. It tells me medical interventions are good at helping people recover from cardiac arrest and not progressing to brain death.

Not all, no. But those who don't cry spontaneously don't inflate their lungs effectively and require oxygen to be administered or even intubation. Most very prem babies don't cry because they've not developed the reflex required. It's nothing to do with the spirits of past people and everything to do with inflating the organs that hitherto were unable to carry out gas exchange (because it doesn't happen in utero).

Nope, when you’re dead you’re dead, I sure hope so anyway, Im pretty sure I will have had enough of existence by that point and any sort of conscious eternity sounds like hell regardless of what it is.

I thought that new born babies cried at birth so that the Gestapo (in films) could be alerted to families otherwise successfully hiding in cellars.

Most religions say there is, which I find hard to accept. I find it hard to believe in something without evidence.

However, I do find near death experiences intriguing. There are doctors who taken them seriously and are investigating them (Sam Parnia and Pim van Lommel for example). These are difficult to explain, and I am not sure science even has the tools to do so. But they do suggest that consciousness continues after physical death.

Unless you ain't had personal experiences or felt the presence of those you have lost and passed on! Well you may not believe but some people just don't believe and that's their choice. We are all spirits, In my opinion theirs something but if i'm wrong well we won't know anyway until it's our turn.

".. or is it a case of when you’re gone, that’s it?

I’ve got to admit when I think about our own individual consciousness I wonder where it exactly came from when we’re born.. it kind of frazzles my brain a bit.

What’s your thoughts on it all?

There is no evidence of an after life. Mainly due to there not being one! Ya die, ya dead. End of

No. They’ve been looked bad and no evidence found. They put numbers on top of cupboards see if out of body experience happened. Nothing. No suggestion at all of going on after death. Evidence is, brain dies, that’s it. End game

Science teaches us that matter never truly dies it just transitions into something else. I have seen many deaths in my Line or work and first think people usually do, doctors included, is open the window to let the soul escape.

My Dad died 11 years ago, I still talk to him, it makes me feel better but am I talking to him or just the part of myself that misses him?

"We are all made of stars."

The most correct answer. We are all made of star dust so we will Simon LY return to star dust. If you are talking about 'consciousness' then effectively you are talking about energy. As far as we know any can be changed, from one type to another but again as far as we know it is impossible to destroy. Therefore, we can postulate that if 'consciousness' is energy, death is simply a change in state, say like water from liquid to ice. That would suggest that there is a lot of untapped energy just floating about? Maybe that could be what dark matter consists of? Anybody what to chat stuff like this, please shout. Love thes conversations.

Maybe you come back in a different time zone or era and relive your life?

I believe there is something, how do you explain when you find the right person and spend your whole life with them you call them your soul mate?

Or when you get a feeling that you been somewhere before or other strange feelings.

The Town by The Cross

Good Morning Dan,

That would depend on how you are defining 'afterlife' I guess.

If you want to know if there is a possibility that when Dan Berks dies he will be born again with all his bits and bobbles in exactly the same formation as Dan Berks ONE, then no. This will not happen Dan. When Dan Berks ONE goes, then Dan Berks ONE has gone and will stay gone never to return.

If you want to know if all the 'stuff' that Dan Berks is made of ( at an atomic level , not just the odd bollock or bell end ) will still exist ; perhaps as soil to feed trees and worms, then yes Dan Berks, YES the material that made you will live on. Sadly we hide our dead underground or you could have fed a wolf or a tiger much more fitting to be Dan De Lion than Wormy Dan... anyway I digress.

Dan Berks was NOT born into this world he was born OUT of it, in the way that leaves are born from a tree, because everything that made Dan was already here ( given that the amount of matter, material , stuff never alters ) and whether Dan goes up in smoke or rots into the ground those chemical changes are irreversible.

Arrogance, fear and ignorance leads to so many wild ( and quite frankly stupid ) explanations of death and what happens afterwards.

It has taken billions of years for evolution to produce the life that exists on Earth now , but Earth is not precious about humans. If humans perish the Earth will continue to produce life.

Humans arrogantly think they are above all other living species. They create stories because they simply cannot comprehend how unimportant they are to the survival of Earth.

Not one mention of dog or fish or bird re-incarnation in this entire thread. What stupid creatures humans are. Not one horse ghost, not one spider you killed coming to sit on the end of your bed all ghostly white and wagging a leg at you. ( im digressing again )

Enjoy life NOW - this is our one shot. Those above who speak of the universe as 'one' are correct. We are all connected ;to each other, to other animals, plants ,trees and oceans but humans are not a 'special' kind of animal that can come back from the dead or that some unseen being made a special place for above the Earth.

Enjoy each day x

It's interesting isn't it. I've had that experience several times after someone I know has died. Most recently my mum. I came home from the hospital where I'd sat with her as she died and went into her bedroom with my daughter. I literally felt my mum rush past me.

It's entirely possible that this was my imagination or wishful thinking. People often try to tell me what to believe

Weather your a believer or a skeptic, ghost hunting can be a totally fascinating experience that blends spirituality and science. Have you ever caught a glimpse of the world beyond? Have you asked the age old question " Does the soul continue after death?"

Maybe join me on a hunt sometime you can Answer that question yourself.
