What if we are dead?

Question

I have a serious question, Well maybe it not a question maybe it is a statement.
Some people are so afraid of death, Like myself and maybe that's how I got to thinking aboot this
What if we are all already dead
What if when we die we all never relize it and just jump right into an after life
What if when we are walking down the street and some people we find like we know them was the last people to see us alive or the person to last look into our eyes while we took that last breath?

As you can tell I have no religan

Is this normal when you get older to be thinking of things like this?

I used to have a religan, I used to believe in god but there are just so many different things out there to think aboot.

I am 19 years of age and i have been thinking aboot this for aboot the past week now..

You can help me by telling me for one if I am normal hehe and also telling me your input on thisThank You

Answer 1

When you talked about "getting older" I thought you were in your 70's or something like that haha.

Anyway, I think it is normal to ask yourself things like this. It's an interesting thought actually, it makes some sense. I had never considered this theory before. I couldn't really tell you my input on this, I mean, it's all a big mistery, I don't really know what to think. Obviously, nobody knows what comes after death, it could be anything, I think we'll have to wait hehe.

Answer 2

Death... why should one be afraid of death?

Death has always been the most dreaded factor of life for any living being. It is not only the humans who are afraid of death... animals and other forms of life also feel the same!

What makes death the most fearful of all attributes of God? There is none who can defy death. It is only after gaining self realization and enlightenment that one becomes immortal. It is this stage when the fear of death vanishes for ever. Every God realized Master and an enlightened individual finally overcomes death.

What is to death that is feared about most? Death announces the end of the physical manifested journey on Mother Earth. Whatever be the achievements of an individual in any phase of life... be it the form of an insect, animal or the human being himself... all seems to have gone wasted!


After the death of the body... none remembers what the next manifestation would be! For the present being all is lost after the death of the body. The entity for which it lived all through in the present life seems to be lost forever the moment the death of the body occurs.

The achievements in the present life... do they carry no value. Why does not God Almighty show mercy on human beings and increase their life span proportionate to their achievements in the physical manifested life.

It is a remote possibility that such an arrangement may have worked. Probably God Almighty did not have able advisers. People of the level of Edison and Einstein may have continued living for thousands of years. In doing so they would have immensely benefited the mankind and for God there was nothing to lose. But so was not destined by God. Why?


Some thoughts on after life-
The concept of a previous birth or the next birth is misunderstood. There is nothing of this nature that exists in the cosmic system. Had Human Beings possessed the power to be reborn ... if only it was the human being, which had manifested the Atman soul, only then this anomaly would have truthfully stood its ground. We are born and we die ... nothing is in our control ... the governing factor for every human being is the Karma ... the residual Karma from each birth manifested by an Atman the soul within which gets carried forwarded onto the next life through the chromosomes.

We Human Beings are really to be pitied upon ... we do not have the power even to create the smallest particle existing in the Cosmos ... yet, it is only as a human being that an Atman the soul within can get liberated ... in no other life form can one achieve Moksha Salvation ... the highest and the ultimate power available in the Cosmos is still with a human being ... the power to realize self and merge with the absolute consciousness.

Answer 3

1. You are not Dead
2. I think you need Jesus
3. You are right, when we die we do go to an after life, but not back here on earth.

If you have excepted Christ you will go to heaven
and then Heaven will be eventually back here on earth as the New Jerusleum
Its pretty deep to explain in one post. The only thing I can tell you is to Give the bible another chance and study it. The bible has deeper meaning than what is just on the surface of the words. There is so much spiritual meaning behind those words and if you would read them with asking God to help you, the words of the bible would give you so much more deeper meaning in life-

Here is a link to a ministry http://www.khouse.org/

this ministry goes deep into the issues you are talking about
they dont talk on the surface but go deep in to spiritual things that most Pastors won't dare go to

God Bless and don't give up on God
God is not a religion but rather a faith

Maybe God is giving you these deep thoughts so you will investigate him again for answers

Answer 4

Human are created in such a way to live through a certain period and must face the death. There is nothing to fear in death, only for those who don't know the purpose of life and why we are here, they will fear death more than anybody else. Death is just the beginning of another life called eternal life , it is our soul that will go through the eternal life.

Answer 5

I've been there, my young friend. Eventually you come full circle when you realize that if you can't tell if you're alive or dead & living an afterlife, then in the absence of evidence of death you may as well just assume you're alive and live.

Answer 6

According to the Vedic knowledge if one does not know their constitutional piston then they are dead. The walking dead. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul also known a God or (Krishna,Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, Rama etc.) we have an eternal relationship with Him and if we don't find it in this life we will keep coming back life after life up and down into different species of life and to hell and heaven and earth until we give up this material world and come to Him.

Answer 7

You're Fine! You're just feeling things /life out!

I do hope that, eventually you come to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

He died for me, you and even the lowest of the low in lfe!

I've watched many loved ones die as I've gotten older, and, first, it Doesn't get any easier! Second, I only Pray that they knew Jesus before they passed-on.

I hope that I was of some help!

Answer 8

It's good that you are thinking about life and death but I have a question for you. If we are already dead, what happens to the people that die in this existence? Where do they go?

Answer 9

By using your brain, you are not normal. What if we are all god, split up like light through a prism, so god can experience all of these different perspectives of his creation? This would make death irrelevant.

Answer 10

Damn....That's deep....It's refreshing to hear original thoughts....Even if someone has thought that before, I appreciate that these ideas came from you, just you, looking at the world around you....I'm going to think about this....
