[@scarlettt3234]

Yes! The truth is you will wake up on the other side to paradise where there is a God who loves us. He sent his son Jesus Christ to earth to die for our sins. If we believe our sins will be forgiven and we will live in paradise with Jesus and all our loved ones who believe. John 3:16 Jesus is the truth, the way and the life! The nightmare that we live here can be redeemed by Jesus. He can change your life not only in heaven, but while you’re still on earth. We are His sons and daughters when we accept Him and we are so loved. More love you can ever dream of having!

I’ve never seen the afterlife, however I do have a near death experience. My 3rd cesarean I was on the table and bleeding out a lot from excessive scar tissue (at least this is what the surgeon told me when I recovered) My BP was dropping dangerously low, my HR slowed to the high 30s. (I only knew this after, when I was told) The nurse at my head watching my vitals kept asking me if I felt like I was going to pass out. I said no I just feel relaxed. My husband kept squeezing my hand and rubbing my hair. They tilted the foot of the operating table upwards some so my head went down some. The room got brighter, warmer, voiced and sounds started to sound diminished. I was happy, and felt so light like I was floating away. It felt like my spirit was starting to float above my body and it felt so calming. I wasn’t scared, it was one of the best feelings of euphoria actually. I tell everyone who brings up similar conversations about death and if this is what it feels like to die, I’m not afraid. I’m only afraid of no longer existing here for my children, husband, and family. I’ve also had way too many experiences of afterlife from family members & my ex husband to know there can’t be NOTHING after death.

I’m not breathing and I feel great!” I woke up in the hospital with lots of wires, machines and the worried faces of my teenaged daughters. I can’t tell you what it looked like but it felt like supreme love, in everything. The closest word we have is bliss. I didn’t want to come back and longed to go back for months. For the first time, I understood what addiction must be like. It removed all fear of death and I learned patience as I had never had before. It has been 26 years since and I am patiently waiting.

Like, how could there be more than one? What about all the religions in the world? They all say they worship God. Well, if everybody’s God is the same there’s no problem. But they don’t all agree! Correct! Somebody’s religion is lying. But I like my religion. I get it, but does man define God or the other way around? Does Zuckerberg define Facebook? Jobs define Apple? Musk define Tesla? Yes! They made them. So the maker defines! Not the user right? Yes of course. God is the maker of life and death! So why doesn’t He just tell us how it works? HE DID! Where? Where’s the document? It’s all in the Bible! How do I know that the Bible is the go to document? Read it! Then afterwards, compare it to other theories. But you gotta read it! But suppose I don’t want to? Suppose I just wanna believe what I feel is the truth? Well, is what you “feel” true? Huh? If you “feel” like gravity is fake news, and you fall asleep at the extreme edge of your bed, and wake up on the floor, was your view of gravity accurate? No. But you sure felt it was.

I think thats why many people believe in a religion and the hope for something after death. They are ridiculed by people who are atheïst but actually the joke would be on them. The believer lives his/her life the best they can and don't fear death believing they will live on in heaven or paradise.The atheïst lives a life of years with nothing to hope for, what are memories and love worth if there is nothing beyond death? Then life itself is worthless. I myself believe in the Christian God and sure there are moments i doubt my faith but then again there are moments my faith is growing. And atheïsts will say i won't put my faith in a God who lets wars happen, who lets childeren get hurt or sick, animals get mistreated. But God gives us the freedom to make our own choices and those choises are what will define us as being a person who lived a worthy life or unworthy. No matter the mistakes you make, this God will forgive everything as long as you really regret it for the right reasons. And just for those who dont know if the are atheïst or believer, dying with the thought of going to heaven sure beats the thought of nothing after death and even if their is nothing after death at that point you won't experience it anyway but death came peacefull.

My friend, in all the faiths and religions who agree there is life after death and tell us about it, every one also agrees that taking one's own life is a terrible thing. We all have much to do in this lifetime, and the afterlife is partly based upon how we do it. Despite the pain you are no doubt feeling you need to discover what you are meant to do. There is so much to live for and you are so important! I will pray for you in your suffering, and that your path be made clear to you.

I have this feeling that what is happening to me right now IS those memories, and I'm already dead. I feel like I'm watching my life.

[@jeffbguarino]

@@Cerdo_asqueroso I remember before I was born. I actually recalled the event when I was about 4 years old , so I continued the memory. This is what I remember. It was dark, and I knew nothing. I felt like I was suffocating and this went on and on and seemed like a couple of months passed by. It was really boring. I realized later the this was probably the last couple of months before I was born. My blood probably had too much CO2 and gave me the feeling of suffocation. I think you are referring to the time before that though, maybe the time before your brain first wakes up in the womb. Since memories depend on your brain , naturally your brain is wiped when you die and before you are born there are no memories either. Much like a quantum state though. You can only be in one place at one time and if a duplicate is made of you, that is atom for atom the same as you, it will still have a different soul or consciousness. This is oddly similar to a quantum state that can't be duplicated anywhere in the universe. Or like the Pauli exclusion principle in Quantum Mechanics. Every electron is in a quantum state and no other electron in the entire universe can be in the same state at the same time. Similarly your consciousness cannot be in two places at the same time. This is why a duplication machine cannot duplicate or clone a quantum state. The theoretical duplication machine is similar to the transporter on Star Trek. It can just scan your body and determine the location of all the atoms and then just beam the information to the distant location where the local atoms are used to reconstruct your body. The problem is the original body must be destroyed. If it isn't , then you just have another duplication machine. When captain Kirk beams down to a location there is nothing guaranteeing that the beamed person is the same person. So you die and another person appears at the beaming location and no one knows the difference. The newly created person appears with all memories created of a past life in the brain.

This July I was doing overtime work(alongwith multi-taskings) at a construction site with all precautions i.e. when to rest , do mindful breathing and then took slightly cold drink than the normal temp water with all electro-chem balanced solution . But I nearly died after passing out on the rooftop of the infrastructure , I saw this World as an illusion of radio-active rays , alpha beta & gama particles and holographic reality on my surrounding where my body looked like a thing made up of all those bio-chem(dna , protein , calcium , cholesterol , fat and lipid ) and these biochem things were actually lighting in flashes trying to communicate with something(maybe my soul) but started dimming gradually . Then I saw other energy light emitting bodies slightly brighter(emitting a stable energy radiating lights) than my body carrying on a matrix like structure(off course the stretcher) a warmer and cooler vision of a thermal vision camera . Then I saw that my soul visions were getting repulsive and dimmer and dimmer by a time varying in actual reality i.e. sometimes faster it dims and sometimes it felt like an hour . Then I cannot explain the rest very accurately but I think some kind of energy trajectory pushed my soulful perception of the World to an end and my human body's perception of brain through eyes and other 4 senses built again. ....hmn then you know all those cries , feelings of belongingness and belovedness began to kick in that chaotic infrastructure of the hospital . Uff 😧 rights and duties again ; sorrows😢 , expectations😦 , wishes☺ and happiness 😃😀😊here we go again in my bio-chem thing like body jail . This is how I experienced the near death .

If space and time are the same, then traveling through time is like traveling through space, therefore, your time where you existed would remain forever, because the past don’t cease to exist, it’s still there.

In other words, the life you are living now will exist forever.
