FabSwingers.com forum: The After Life

By (user no longer on site) OP

I recently attended a funeral at which the cleric said the soul was immortal and that the deceased would live forever as the soul had no begining and no end. So if thats the case if you subscribe to this notion that there is an afyer life (that is life after death)dr facto there must be life before birth; or am I thinking too much?

Hence the concept of previous lives and regression.

yep the body is a universal container for the soul....

don't know quite how well the soul being intact is for alzheimers patients and stroke victims though - they'd probably have you believe the soul was partway out the body hanging by a thread or something to cover that one... :L

the mind(or soul) like the universe, has synapses(like stars),perhaps when someone gets alzheimers its like black holes

there is faith and a scientific mix, but most will doubt it has much less to do with religious doctrine

Good point but religon and the obsession with god and an afterlife will give rise to such debates. My view? we have a limited time for the carbon we are made of to become the soil that produces the plants to give the rest the air to breathe.......so we are kind of immortal!

Should I take up song writing?

Having jujectst got back from my mothers funeral the debates on this subject have been many over the last 10 days but I am still not sure what the answer is all I know is there is only one mortal life we are born in to and there is no exception to departing from it either.

Hmmm.. I think the soul is still there in alzheimers patients, but the soul can't communicate with the brain properly... I believe... or hope... that when they die the soul no longer has to communicate with the brain and therefore can be free again and when they get a fresh, fully functioning, brain the soul will be able to communicate with it fully.

I do hope I'm right x

The depths of mankind's conceit never ceases to amaze me. Not content with roaming around on this little ball for an average of 70 years, some purport the notion that if we're not currently inhabiting a corporeal lifeform we float around in the ether waiting for a new body to be conceived before entering it and continuing on whatever knows journey through time.

seems more people believe in a form of reincarnation, than heaven and hell... and its possibly more scientifically apt to believe in reincarnation, as it is pretty fundamentally what happens in our notion of life, the ingredients are te the soup already,but they just get mixed every once in a while..but maybe there is an extra ingredient that comes in from somewhere else,just to add a new flavour

I know it not the most intellegent view to have, but for some, including myself, it's how it helps us heal after a loved one dies. So no matter how much my brain tells me it's not possible I'll continue to believe till I take my last breath, just on the off chance lol.

Doesn't Hinduism teach that we reincarnate as a better animal than before if we've lived a bountiful life?

That's the truly beautiful thing about faith though, if you're right you spend eternity in a wonderful place, and if you're wrong you won't know anything about it. That to me is nirvana.

Well when you consider this little (irritating) planet on which we reside is so small we are less than insignificant but we have a wide ranging voice on the subject. We cause havoc and destruction in the names of our gods and we seek refuge in the comfort that is faith when we need to.

well lets just go with a few formats,

a multitude of realities, forever branching into new ones

realities converging in on eachother in an undetectable manner (de'ja vu an ideal candidate)

an entire rebirth with another random set of qualities(at the end of 'time')(possible de'ja vu again)

a pointless existence that just happens,fades an dies..forever

Residue harmonics left behind by those who have been there just before you, but your brain has in fact been fooled into interpeting it as an experience you have felt before but your logic tells you that cannot be. Hence the paradoxical experience of feeling certain of having done a particular thing before and the knowledge of knowing it cannot possibly be.

Before.

To explain the feeling of De Ja Vue, nuerologists have concluded that for some (unexplained) reason a thought is diverted to the upper vortex (long term memory) rather than being a short term storage issue. Ben Sammuels likens it to a computer shifting information to enable maximum efficiency.

Deja Vu...You experience something (usually trival) and your brain files it away in your memory bank

This happens almost instantaneously and sometimes your brain files it away before you register you've experienced it. So it seems like a memory

And not even a wee bit of ya thought...ooo spooky, I wonder if I've lived before?

I used to dream I was in a burning house all the time when I was little. They stopped when I was about 8. But when i was in my twenties i visited this little village, as I past this house and when I looked at it I felt like I knew what the insides looked like exactly then I couldn't breath and felt like I was having a panic attack and all i had was that dream in my head. The feeling i had was one of pure terror. I certainly thought... ooo spooky. It freaked me right out. Never been back there again.

Many years ago my friends and I used to play 3 card brag in the pub and the table was limited to three players on each side. I didn't sit down quick enough one time so sat at the end waiting for a seat to vacate. The guy sitting to my immediate left was dealt his three cards face down and put my hand over them without seeing what they were and told him he had three Jacks, two black, one red. When he picked them up that's exactly what they were.

...and yesterday, we were in a McDonald's and my phone rang in my coat pocket, which was hanging on the back of the chair behind me. When I reached for it my son knocked it out of my hand and it fell on the floor and stopped ringing. Without checking the number I looked at Siren and said, "That was a job offer." She said, "ring it back."

I rang it this morning and have an interview tomorrow afternoon.

The wierd thing is that is was for a job I applied for three months ago.
