    I wanna have a beer with Ted Williams. And also to be reunited with loved ones who have passed on, but mainly to have a beer with Ted Williams.

    Well, the bear scat that I will no doubt be part of should go on to fertilize some wild flowers, or maybe a poderosa, and that is reward enough for me.

    If it is more of a "just wondering" kind of question... I believe in Heaven, and I am sure it will be greater than I could even imagine.

    Ask yourself what happened before you were born, and there is the answer for after you die.

    Since my consious mind erases time for the 8 hrs I sleep, I can't immagine there would be time after I die. Infiniti would go by in an instant as it did before I came to self-awareness.

    Maybe we're (everyone/thing with a self-consious) all in the same dimension and I our consious existance goes on forever in our consious minds? Who knows..

    Like, immagine if you die, time no longer exists for you, so you'd never be aware you were ever dead.. just think about life before you were born, and that will explain after you die.

    Since there's absolutely no way of knowing, I honestly don't think about this.

    Memories of me will live on in the minds of friends and family...

    other than that, I don't think that there is "another side".

    People reach out in their own way... Glad to know that isn't the case here, and hopefully you don't see the other side (whatever it may hold) for many, many years.

    I think that you have to connect with those that were the most important to you in life, make each other remember your life you had togethor. And then when all of your most important people in life are "enlightened", you all go off to heaven. Or was that in some TV show that I watched recently.............. :mrgreen:

    It's scary to think about, but then it isn't. Time is just how humans measure a serious of events, and depending on your consiousness, it can vary in how long it feels. Pretend time doesn't exist, and its not so scary. When you die, there's no infinite of darkness for you, because you are not aware,.. and thats the scary thought, that you are aware you don't exist... This is what I believe, although I'd like to think I get to do other stuff like the rest of the religious world, but at some point, what else is there to do?

    Part of me feels that when your time is up, that's it. Longevity is achieved by the impressions you leave on those left behind. But even that is temporary. I think of old cemeteries, abandoned stones, anyone that cared about those people are long gone. Unless you leave some huge mark in history, everyone fades away.

    Then I think about paranormal activity, and the levels of energy that surround us all the time. I think whatever energy that drives us just changes form, goes to another frequency.

    In the end, I don't think too much about it (even though my birthday is coming up lol), as Ed said, "I know I was born and I know that I'll die...the inbetween is mine" :)

    You know that feeling we have when we hold our child. The warm comfort of love. The security and peace found in that love. Well on the other side you are being held in that same love.

    It's built into our genes, the fear of death, or fear in general. It must be for our survival. Some people ease that fear with religion, others merely come to terms with it. I'm not saying there's no "god" or bigger explanation. I'm just thinking it doesn't go along as our minds might think it does.

    Same with love. Built into our genes for survival. Free your mind of human instinctive thought and that's the closest you can come to maybe understanding part of the big picture, I think.

    i have had Valhalla in my grasp many times.
    i will go there again and write poetry for Odin
    and seminude hordes of women
    that'll be feeding me grapes
    as i sharpen my axe and write.
