NDE - Is there life after death?

[franksterr]

Inspired by a question in the general forum...

Do we live on?
Go to hell?
or Heaven?
Or is it annihilation or extinction of our individual personality in total - Nothingness?

You know what ?
No one has come back to tell us. EVER!
Someone made an analogy which is we pass on to another stage of our existence in which this mortal part has no connection much as a dragonfly nymph, having spent 4-5 months swimming around in that particular stage, makes the metamorphosis into the dragonfly we see flitting about.
Neither that dragonfly nor any other dragonfly ever goes back to chit-chat with the nymphs they once lived among. They have become something else, something very different from the nymphs.

So too it might be with our meat bodies and our &quot;souls&quot; or whatever it is that goes on when the meat stops.

Can we get a more descriptive account of his return?

For example, was it a re-animation of his corpse?

If so, what was the change in his state?

As with the video above, was it his concsiousness that left his body as he died and re-entered that body to restore life?

Do we call that a spirit?

If we call it a spirit, is it possible for that spirit to have volition (will)?

Could that spirit chose to re-enter a different body, or is the spirit only compatible with the original host?

I want to see the autopsy report.
I want pictures and I want dna testing done.
Fingerprints, retina scan.
It's a little too close to Halloween to talk about dead people walking.
The thought might be inspiring to some but i don't care if he is/was the Son O' God, if he's dead, I do not want him walking around.
I'm a traditionalist that way.

LOL!

Actually, there is life after death. If my life's work is of such value that it improves the human condition, I will live on in the memories of those whose lives I touched for the better. I would be immortal.

We are nothing more than mammals. We live and die just like every other animal on the face of the earth. After death we decay and become a buffet for worms who poop us out, which provides fertilizer for trees which provides fruit for others to enjoy.

Just think on that next time you bite into a mango.

Reminiscent of the old Fugs tune: &quot;Burial Waltz'

&quot;Do not surround me with wreathes of flowers
Nor place upon my body the signs of a fetish
Nor crescent, cross, phallus or sun.
But bury me in an apple orchard
That I may taste your lips again.
Bury me in an apple orchard that I may taste your lips again.

Think of me when you glance at the sweet apple flower
Speak to me like the breeze blowing over your fingers.
Taste of me when your lips taste the froth
Foaming out of the apple meat.&quot;



or as they would say it today:
&quot;Bite me&quot;

Re: NDE - Is there life after death?

I have always found it interesting that so much effort is put into finding out what happens AFTER life, but not much, if anything, on BEFORE life. I have oft heard it said that in order to know where you are going you need to know where you are coming from. Besides, I think it would be way easier to find out about the past than it is to foretell the future.
