Have you ever stopped and thought about how the world seems to have started when you got old enough to have memories? There was nothing until then. Could that be what it's like after we die?

i have honestly thought about it. and yes i think this will be what death is like...but i dont remember being unhappy as a nothing, so perhaps it will be peaceful..i mean all these things happened and you were non existent, millions of years of the world, thousands of years in history that you didnt exist. time did not exist to you because you did not exist. and you will return to this nothing and thousands of years of history will happen after you return to non existence. so yes i think this is what it will be like.

Um...that's a psychotic reaction to think the world was created solely for yourself.
However, that being said, I do remember being a baby, but it was a delight. Going further back, I remember the time before arriving on Earth. I'm not sure if it was just my imagination though. Someone here once confirmed that my memory trigger is indeed what the planet Earth looks like from Cynus (My trigger was a set of moles on my arm) There is, according to that memory, an exsistance for me beyond this world. And there are people there. Beings of incredible helpfulness.
What Paige said is true. before the age of 2-1/2 to 3 years, we are using more than 80% of our brain, and we gradually learn to not pay any attention to the unimportant things, filing them away into our subconscious. If you think hard enough, or go through regression therapy, you can open those pathways and remember things.

Each night there is the Non-existence of many hours of sleep without even dreams. In full awakening, we begin anew.
In reincarnation you go into a sleep of non-existance and awake in a place where the memories and wisdom of all your lives comes back to you. Again there is some time of non-existance and you slowly awaken to a new life in which to learn and gain wisdom without memory of the past---though some does occaisonally slip in--ala Deja vu.

Actually you're quite wrong. There was something before you had memories. You don't remember much until you're 3 years old or more often older. Just because you don't remember something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
When you ask such a philosophical question, you better be careful of the answers you listen to. If you are wrong, you are in big trouble.

Yes, and just when I got back to the other side I was here again and couldn't remember again....
Seriously I do remember things all the way back to when I was 2 or less not everything but certain things.

Not for me. I am going to heaven. And I can't process the thought of nonexistance before I was born. To big to get my mind around it.

That's exactly what I think it's going to be like after we die. A complete non-awareness of ANYTHING. It's not dark, it's not light, it's not happy, it's not sad, there's no feeling at all, there's no pain at all, and you're completely not even there in any way, shape, or form to realize it.

Could be, there's no way to know for sure (even if people say otherwise)
