[@earthterra8546]

No

[@monk6476]

No exactly what it does interpret. But once a brain is dead, there is no consciousness if only you travel in past and bring those memories in the timeline or into new body. That maybe call some afterlife.

[@aethellstan]

No

[@henryF6]

The far more intriguing question is what happened before you were born? It’s easy to think of death as going to sleep and never waking up…but we all woke up having never gone to sleep

[@iliaadamanthark8336]

Yeah, death is non experience. There is no life after death, there is only life. Universe only experience life through conscious brain, not through death and nothingness.

[@likenl4508]

I will say it over and over even if one person accepts and believes. Please do not die without accepting the sacrifice of Jesus and His blood. If a soul could come back from the dead who died without Jesus I guarantee they would tell everyone to RUN to Jesus and never let go. Jesus crushed sin and hell for us and took the wrath of God for us do not reject the Gospel. That God sent His Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Please people do not reject Jesus hell is forever and once you die that is it. You will wish and hope you were never born. Eternal everlasting punishment that Christ saved us from already. Believe in Him follow Him accept His blood RUN to Jesus and He will hold onto you and never let go. Confess Jesus as Lord and Savior and never turn your back on the One who promised to give us Everlasting life if we believe in Him. Please do not die and spend ETERNITY in everlasting LAKE of fire that Jesus saved us from don't reject the Cross or the blood shed that He spilt for us Jesus Rose and defeated sin and death for us Please do not die without Jesus there is absolutely NO Hope without Jesus Christ ❤️ I promise because God promised if you believe in Him you shall have everlasting Life. Look in front of you and confess Jesus as LORD and SAVIOR and thank Him for saving you from everlasting fire that never burns out please people Look to Jesus and never look back on the hell that He crushed for us. Jesus is Always right there beside you

Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple.

Approximately 2 weeks before my dad died, I had a dream that me and my family were at a funeral home planning his funeral. My dream was so vivid I actually thought it was a memory, and not a dream. I woke up in tears, thinking that my dad had died only to realize that it was just a dream. I felt very disturbed, however. I couldn't get it out of my head. Two weeks later, I received a phone call from my brother telling my that dad had a massive heart attack and was rushed to the hospital. He was going there now to meet the ambulance. He asked that I would bring our mother there. I knew then that dad was actually dead. The next day, the entire family met at the funeral home to plan the funeral. I had never been to the funeral home before. When I walked in and we all sat down I realized it was exactly as my dream two weeks prior. I was completely freaked out. Everything was exactly as the dream including the colors of the walls, the furniture, the placement of the furniture, even where we sat. Since then, my life has changed. I could tell you more but it would be too long to describe. Regardless, I know without a doubt there's something more, I just don't know how it works. We somehow continue. What happens to us, where we go, who knows?

[@johnwiand1167]

[@colinpierre3441]

@@johnwiand1167 Something that may help you is thinking about how life started. When you think of it, how could everything just form by chance (as some scientists suggest)? Many things in nature point to a designer. Consider an example of a bird called the Gannet... this bird has the ability to dive from the sky at 118 mph and plunge into the sea (at an impact of more than 20 times the force of gravity) yet SURVIVE! How? Well first it draws a protective membrane over its eyes and inflates organs in its neck and chest that act as airbags to cushion the impact. As it penetrates the surface of the water its beak, head, and neck form a cone shape. That shape evenly distributes the force of impact on the gannet’s neck muscles. After all that, the gannet refocuses its eyes for underwater vision. What do you think? Did this bird's diving ability evolve? Or was it designed?

[@Enobrenbmugtem]

​@@johnwiand1167 I was where you were a couple of years ago, I spent so much time thinking and scaring myself half to death over it without wanting to come close to acknowledging a higher power, god, or the acausal. The best thing I did was abandon the worry of feeling stupid and embarrassed or fear of ridicule. I think for many people have these fears, I get why when I listen people talk about religious peoples. Don't be afraid of being wrong, you don't lose much, only gain more and at least you put actual thought into it, unlike most people, anyone who could ever ridicule you for exploring this beyond science and the atheist dogma has never put much thought or experience into their own beliefs, which are based on faith just as much as a other religious beliefs. 1. Look into religion, spirituality, occultism, the acausal, anything beyond what most people accept as fact today. Like Carl Jung for example, astral projection or lucid dreaming. Btw many people get hung up on Abrahamic religions when this question comes up, just remember there are more ideas than Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. 2. Connect with nature, the natural world around you, and yourself. You'll also just feel better in general doing this. Reconnecting with nature is the closest you can really get to the world, it'll tell you so much more about this world than anything else. 3. Be honest, open yourself up to any possibility, introspect, look at your dreams. 4. Experience is the best way to learn, it trumps all. 5. You can learn from tons of stuff, games, books, movies of all types. The internet, others experiences, places of worship. Life is surreal. It's all too unbelievable to be nothing in the end, so don't worry : )

[@jeniosk1097]

@@johnwiand1167 I was an atheist for many years believing it was the reasonable position until I investigated further. Look at the complexity of our universe, look at its beauty and wonders: the stars, the galaxies, the vast incomprehensive scale of it. Then look at the micro world: cells, DNA which is literally biological code that tells an organism which characteristics it will have. There are around 26 constants to describe the universe as we know now, and if only one of them changed even a slightest bit everything would cease to exist. Eg. if you change the speed of light constant by a tiny bit nothing would exist. Look at how perfectly placed earth is. Not too close to the sun so that everything would burn and not to far away so that everything would freeze. The universe is fearfully and wonderfully made.

True story. I am a retired ob gyn. 20 years ago I was practicing in a small town in nc. One night at 2 am I was managing a difficult labor and was trying to decide about doing a c section. The labor room had more than 5 family members who were anxious and angry and making threats so I went out to the nurses station to think. I was there alone when an elderly man with the kindest most intense eyes I have ever seen walked up, leaned on the counter and said "I just want you know everything is going to be OK". He said he was her grandfather. He told me about an nde he had when he was 25. He survived and his wife died when their car stalled on a train track. He described his nde as suddenly being in a vast field of flowers with colors too beautiful to descibe. He walked until he came to a stone wall. His wife was on the other side and told him he had to go back. He had already been pronounced dead and was laying on a gurney under a sheet when someone saw him move. We talked for at least 30 minutes. His granddaughter had a healthy baby 3 hours later and I never saw the man again. At her postpartum visit 6 weeks later I asked her to tell her grandfather that I appreciated his talking with me that night. She looked at me like I was insane and said he had died 5 years earlier. She confirmed that her grandmother had been killed by a train when she was young. Wierd don't you think?

On November 7th of 2014, the mother of my son and my best friend was murdered by a deranged ex boyfriend who she had recently left. He shot and killed her and then immediately took his own life while my 5 year old son and his older sister and brother watched in horror as their mother bled to death. A month before this took place, I had met my soul mate, my lover, the mother of my now three beautiful teenage daughters, but most importantly, my best friend. She was diagnosed colon cancer in October of 2020 and on October 1st of 2021 shortly after completing Radiation and Chemotherapy treatments, she passed away during a surgery to basically hook her colon back up. I don't normally leave comments and it's difficult for me to speak of these never-ending nightmares that have destroyed so many lives and that have become my reality. My apologies for dumping this on everyone and I can assure everyone reading that it's not an attention seeking comment nor am I looking for sympathy and compassion from random strangers on a comment thread. I only wanted to state that no matter what happens in our lives and in this reality, I have to believe in an afterlife because other than now being a single father of four wonderful and truly amazing children, holding onto to the belief that one day in the future we will all meet again in an afterlife is the only thing that keeps me going. We have to keep the faith that we all meet again, one fine day. Time doesn't heal all wounds and I am sorry to disappoint those of you who believe that it does. Death becomes apart of you that you have to learn how to incorporate into daily life structure and routine or else the guilt and regret will eat you alive and take whatever is left of you. Two very small words, Regret and Guilt, but believe me when I say this and take it from someone who truly understands, they are by far, the two heaviest emotions that a person can feel and carry around with them each and every single day. It honestly takes everything inside of me just to make it through most days. -When the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn and people die but real love is forever. It's October 8th, 2022 - 1:38am and you all see what I am doing. Watching afterlife videos on KZbin. There has to be something after this life. This just can't be all that there is. Humans are very unique and we are the only species in the known universe that understands from an early age that we are going to die. That alone has to count for so much! But these are just humble opinions and thoughts of a lonely and cursed man. I wish I could be the one to confirm that there is indeed, more to life than what we can currently perceive and attest to and that we will get to see the ones we love and miss again in another life but unfortunately, all I can do I share my story and to let others out there who have lost family and friends that you're not alone and that you have to keep going. Humans are very resilient and we're certainty stronger than we give ourselves credit for. In the last seven years alone, me and my children lost everything! It scared me and kept me awake at night for what seems like countess nights worrying about how am I now going to raise four kids and provide for them and get them all the help that they needed. It was so overwhelming and nerve-wracking but as the days pass, I found that all you can really do is take each day as it comes and just make the most of it and the time that we have left with the people that we love and care for and to always try to be the best version of you that you can possibly be so that you have no regrets and you have the satisfaction of knowing that no matter what ends up happening when the time comes, we can all leave this place knowing that we gave it everything we had and that we never gave up....or in. My apologies again and for this message being all over the place at times...but that's just how bad and fast my mind now races and never really seems to stop. PTSD is pure Hell.

Just wanted to share a quick story of a death experience I had as a child. When I was 6 years old, I had a vivid and realistic dream that my grandfather died. I was pretty close with him growing up even though he lived about 5 hours away. In the dream, we were at a water park at the top of the slide. He told me he had to leave. I was sad and told him I didn’t want him to leave. He then said goodbye and pushed me down the water slide. When I hit the water, I awoke from the dream. It was in the middle of the night and I was sad and crying. My father heard me and woke up and came to check on me. I was telling him I wanted to call “grandpa”, but he said it was too late in night and we could call him tomorrow. I then started asking my father questions about heaven, hell, and where people go when they die. Fast forward to later that day around noon, and my mother gets a call that “grandpa died”. Both of my parents were very surprised about the foretelling dream. I can’t explain it, maybe it was just a coincidence, but unlikely. I wonder if it was spiritual communication indicating there is life after death or that human brains send off remote communication signals in ways we do not yet understand. I would love to hear people’s thoughts on this or from those with similar experiences.

[@jimd6641]

I had a similar dream about my mother. In my dream I heard her call out my name and she spoke to me. The next day I called her, and she was fine. A few years later, on the night when she did pass away, I got nothing. The way I see it is: people have dreams and people die - according to the laws of probability, sometime they coincide. For you, it was like drawing to an inside straight - unlikely, but it does happen.

I had similar dream. The first person I fell in love with came into my dream after 50 years. I have never dreamed of him before, not once after we went our separate ways. In my dream he came to visit me, but never said a word, I kept asking questions and he would not answer, as in life. He had fixed his eyes on a door and kept looking at it. I woke up and went to computer to check on him for the first time. He had just died. How and why this happened, I do not know.

[@DavidCarter-ib3vw]

@J C Well said. Interesting to me is that I cannot tell the difference between real life and a dream. I assume most people I guess are the same way. Sometimes I dream and then after awake I think the dream really happened. On occasion, I can be having a pleasant dream and then wake-up. I can then purposefully go back to sleep and try to continue the same dream. Often I can do so. Sometimes I can dream and have a creative moment.

I like to think on the "mind-body problem" in philosophy when I think of dying. It's fascinating how our consciousness can exist in a physical body, yet cannot be seen as a separate host. To think that our consciousness is its own matter provides some solitude when it comes to dying. Maybe, just maybe, our conscious energy is a special force that continues to exist in the universe despite losing its body.

There are two kinds of nouns, concrete and abstract. The existential status of their referents are very, very different. Physics asserts the constituents of concrete entities are eternal. There is no equivalent law that applies to abstract entities like processes. You know exactly, with no doubt whatsoever, that annihilation happens to a process when the processor disintegrates. e.g. The ketchup making process ceases in the moment the ketchup factory is blown to pieces. If being conscious is a process of the body, which is so likely as to be equivalent to a certainty, then I think we are forced to very happily conclude, we are *not* condemned to endure eternity.

I was part of a paranormal research group for about 7 years. In 55 cases we collected quite a bit of evidence, mainly audio that we couldn't debunk and had to classify as proof that unseen entities communicated with us. As for religion, IMO it's a human created thing that doesn't contain any extra, magical components to make one's life better except for the fact that it's all personal perception. Too many religions become political and toxic and in many ways nothing more than a cult unfortunately. If you do decide to embrace religion I advise you to look into something very mainstream and low key. Please don't get involved in Scientology or radical, militant Evangelicalism.

It will be forever out of reach, and when it does happen, odds are I won’t know it. However, no amount of thinking will ever change the nature of reality. At the end of the day, thoughts are just thoughts. I am deeply interested in science, and I’ve come to realize that despite our probing, there will always be a layer we just can’t understand. The best thing for me is just to focus on living in the present moment, and accepting the finiteness of live. Most of my anxiety goes away this way.

The first time I had general anesthesia, the experience... was of having no experience. No sense of time passing, no sensation of being asleep or dreaming. I could've been out for a few seconds, or a few years, I would believe either one the evidence proved to tell me. If I had to describe it as anything, I would just say black, or nothing. Not even black except for the moments before unconsciousness and right before regaining consciousness when your eyes are physically closed. Anyway I had a very great sense overcome me that that's what death is. It's just being turned off, like a light. Socrates said to fear death, or assume it is some evil, is to think oneself wiser than you really are. Everything that ever lived has died. It can't be that bad. Life itself arose for whatever natural process that is, and death is an inevitable part of that, for some reason we don't understand. That is the crux of our deliberations. But it is a moot point.

[@pxjxgx]

I love this comment so much. I know exactly what you mean about general anesthesia. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago. My first real surgery. I remember the feeling of just before and in between being under and waking up. It took me twice as long to fully wake up. During that time right at the beginning of coming out I remember this feeling of fading away. I was unconscious, I could hear but didn't understand the sounds. I could sense that my body was being moved but couldn't feel it. I realized this only once I had woken up. Had I never woken up the last part of me would have only known closing my eyes before surgery. It's just too much for us to fathom. Just like how we don't have to think about it for our lungs to take in air, we don't have to think about it to keep our hearts beating. Those organs are designed to work until they don't.

Now about death, do we really die? As a catholic it is the preaching that when a person dies, his soul will face judgement then he will move to afterlife but what if that’s not the case, what if we just simply cease to exist, our personality will be gone, our body will cease to function and that’s all. We are not even aware that we are dead because we have no more consciousness, our relatives will grieve because of the changes it will bring but they will coped withit and the cycle will continue.

I think while you are dying the concentrated (live-) energy you are made of is slowly reconstructing into a less concentrated state.. as the rule of conservation of energy in physics describes it's not getting loose.

You know I’ve read stories of ancient techniques to get to the divine and the most intriguing of which (to me at least) was starving themselves to literal death. They believed the divine existed in a very narrow plane between life and death and wanted to walk that plane for as long as possible (they would eat one blueberry a day to survive on) It just seems like a weird coincidence that you had what seems to be your own kind of blissful or divine state while dying before going back.

You will be fine. You had to come back because your role is still needed in the world, however insignificant it may seem to you.

I knew someone who was a medic in Vietnam, and he told me that each time they brought one of the soldiers back to life, they were just as you describe here. He said they would asked him why he brought them back.

I took an afternoon nap today. I’d put my money saying that’s what death is like, no dreams, no feelings, no emotions, no sensors, nothing. You’re just GONE! 🤷🏻‍♂️
