But does anybody actually KNOW what happens? It's a question of personal belief and individual truth. I have reasons for believing what I do, just as everyone else has reasons for what they believe or don't believe.

The purpose of this thread is to see what people believe, not to debate why they do

Well, i just kinda wondered how come i'm "here" that i can see through those eyes, etc.. It can't just be a product of mere luck, and i doubt anything remotely ordered would've put me there, so i'm thinking i was randomly put in there. I randomly "exist", so to speak. Oh and, if i have to be a rock or anything, so be it, at least that'll get me more action than being in "Heaven". <.<

To be very brief...I think it will be an awfully big adventure.

My body will decompose. I'll be forgotten because I made no mark on this world. The DNA I left behind...my kids...will continue until they are gone too. Life on Earth will just
carry on. I wish I could live forever just to see where it all ends up.

The cult responsible for my death will consume most of body and offer the rest to Nyarlathotep.

As far as I can figure we are made of the same stuff as everything else in the universe which gives us no special privileges. We get one sip at the fountain and disappear to make room for other sippers. We each contribute some kind of kick at the world and that is our legacy. Back to the elemental mix.

Eternal life can have other forms. I still converse with Shakespeare, G.B.Shaw, Oscar Wilde, Dylan Thomas, T.S.Eliot, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and many, many more. They still live in some fashion.

I am not sure, but I hope I will have better sleep habits. Maybe I will be able to get a decent rest.

...one night I dreamt that I died (killed myself, pistol, 1870s West - very vivid) and died... went through stages, an enveloping warmth, questions subsiding to single words, then peaceful darkness, a connected isolation. If I had a choice, I think I liked the experience after death in this dream... it felt like I was there for eons; it was a surprise to me that I awoke, took some time to really believe that I was alive.

As a Christian, I believe that should I continue on the path I follow, I will go to heaven. Should I leave this path, I believe I will go to hell.

On this plane, it's in my will that I be cremated. My ashes will be scattered off the top of the Matterhorn, a 10K-foot peak in the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, Oregon, USA. I've never seen a more beautiful place on Earth, even in pictures.

Dreaming one is dead is nothing like the real thing. I have spent several billion years dead before I was born and it was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable. Being born is something I would rather not go through again. That initial whack on the behind is a big surprise.

These are not real conversations. They are quasi-conversations or imagined conversations. Would you regard a conversation between you and an actor playing, say, Oscar Wilde in convincing fashion a real conversation?

Anyone who reads controversial literature with many interesting implications and considers, agrees, confutes, or merely delights in the writing is having a conversation with the writer. A competent actor who understands his role and has investigated all its aspects can indeed converse realistically from within that role. It requires a very good actor but that's not an impossibility.

I will cease to exist. There really isn't much else to it.
