Does anyone really know, and does anyone believe in life after death, or that you will come back again? I'm scared of dying is anyone else scared out there? I think it's because I don't know how it's going to happen!!

It is a mystery only explainable though myth and assumption. You have to research for yourself to find the answer that suits you.

Nobody knows! The big bang theory is strangly enough a theory. That means its not fact! So we don't know! So its pointles trying! I mean - should you know how the world began it won't change anything cos then you'd want to know where did the raw materials come from that made the world! Do you see what I men!

I believe that there is an afterlife, and I think any one who doesn't is really strange? If this is it, why?
And being scared of dying is normal for the reasons you state and because it is a survival mechanism. How would you survive day to day living if you didn't have fear!
You couldn't negotiate a busy road without fear!
(That is why more teenagers get knocked down more than any other age group- the feel invinsible, esp boys!!)

So fear is good! and necessary!

Hello,

(ANS) Your asking several complex questions here, a) how did our universe originate, or b) how did life on earth begin. c) what is death & dying and what will happen to me?

No.1 The universe originates from out of the primal void, it was created from a single (singularity or single point of origin) massive big bang event and this has been calculated to have taken place approximately 200 billion years ago. From this single massive event all time, space, gravity, planets, our sun are formed.

No.2 The earth itself formed after the big bang event, from a mass or spherical molten mass that cooled into a planet with a solid surface i.e. land mass. This took place an estimated 60-70 billion years ago.

No.3 ALL human beings fear death, not so much bodily death. But we fear our ego's death. The death of what makes us me or you, what makes us unique people with distinctive personalities. Its ego death that we fear most of all.

**death is extremely hard to really comprehend unless you have lost someone close to you (mother, father, sister,brother, lover, partner,etc). The dead person has a body that is completely different from the living, that the life force really has gone, the body is cold to the touch and so forth. The body does seem very shell like with only echo's of the living person left behind it is hard to explain really.

We all have our beliefs - but no one really knows for sure.

I personally believe we have a creator - and that we can come back to this planet to work out more karma if we need it.

I have heard of the bright light in all different religions - I dont know what that means - but everyone says it is a lot of peace.

I do believe that we as spirits will continue with a consciousness that does not die. So you will still know who you are and where you have been once you die. But if you come into another lifetime, you might not know.

Its just like now - certain things and certain people seem very familiar. We feel comfortable with different people because we were with them in a past life.

As a teenager I was scared of dying, but as I get nearer to that event (now 57) my attitude is it will happen when it happens.
I am a Christian and do believe that I am going somewhere better (Heaven is as good as any name).So of course in many ways that is a cop out, because if I am going somewhere better than of course I am not bothered about dieing.
It is not easy, but just try and put the fear to the back of your mind and get out there and live your life to the full. Then if it is true "your life flashes before your eyes as you die" it should take a couple of hours or even days. I hope you will soon find a way to conquer this fear.

When the mind is at the physical level of consciousness it senses fear, when it is also at mental level it senses wonder, but when human consciousness transcends to spiritual planes in being its senses of wonder is replaced by divine love and longing for excellence. Thus the content of human mind are not entirely based upon knowledge; we need our beliefs to fulfil the requirements of our original spiritual mind.

Your question reveals a great deal about these contents in your mind. For instance, it is ironic that you are afraid of the end but question about the beginning of it all. You wonder if someone ever comes back to live again. Your sense of wonder here is in fact a smart remedy that your subconscious mind has sought for the fear of dying - lets assume for instance that someone does come back to live again, then wouldn’t that person be living a life terminable by death yet again? Where then is the fear of death in this wish to relive?

This is very true that pain is associated with the scare of death, but I do not think this is all that makes death is so frightening in the mind. The pain of dying cannot be more than the equivalents of pleasure we induce in life. We cannot enjoy food, for instance, beyond certain limits in appetite. Likewise, we can take just so much of all pleasures in life. I think it is the unknown that makes us afraid. It would be like a thought of jumping into the darkest void with eyes closed. I could not, for instance, walk with my eyes closed more then few seconds in the middle of an empty football pitch.

I think when death comes we normally pass quickly through our physical plane into higher plane of existence where actual matter of dying takes place, the shift and transportation into some other reality in existence etc. Then if my mind has some realisation of a spiritual existence beyond the physical, then that reality soon would come into sight after the world of physical reality has all but disappeared.

The question of the beginning of the world has many true answers, or wordy interpretations of the reality, but for here it is the world that began with our displaced from the pure spiritual plane into the physical; with our mind cast to have high intellectual abilities so that we may find our safe way back into an eternal reality.

I believe that The Lord God created heaven and the earth. that he formed each living thing and created man from the dust of the earth. God saw that man was lonely, and created a woman from the man's rib.
But, when the man and women sinned they disobeyed God and were banished from the garden of Eden, thus creating an imperfect world with pain and death.


Death, though unpleasant can lead to an eternity with God, only if you have accepted Christ as your savior, admitted and confessed that you are a sinner ,and have become like God in Mind, and attitude.

I, personally am humanly scared of dying, but through Christ i know that i will see him in heaven when that day comes. God is the only way to be free of sin and worry.

If you're still confused, and unsaved go to a local church, a CHRISTIAN church, and ask the pastor about salvation.

There is nothing on earth stronger than a mother's love for her child, if there was anyway back surely the 1st to return would be mothers, as they don't, I think that is a good indication that there's no way back.
There is no evidence at all to indicate there is life after death.
There is reasonable evidence that points to the big bang theory [google] or you can choose to believe in a 2000+ year old book which tells you about an invisible creator etc etc, the choice is yours !

There is a Heaven and a Hell. There was a man who was completely crushed by a machine where he worked. Every bone in his body was broken. He died. A medical crew revived him after he had been dead for 15 whole minutes. When he woke up he told the doctors everything they had said during the time he was dead. He told them he saw the most beautiful place and his father(previously dead) appeared to him. His father told him it was not his time yet. The man said that he wishes he hadn't lived because the place he saw was so beautiful. This is a true story. Don't be afraid. You have to believe the promise of eternal life. Jesus is there for you if you only believe in Him.

Ever since existence came to exist, and life was ever lived, these wonders hunted us and no matter how we try to reason with it we always fail, mind you, this is not due to our stupidity alone, but because of the many limitations that surrounds our very being!

We found refuge as time went on in faith, dumping everything we do not and sometimes we can not even grasp on the metaphysical prospects which seems to swallow everything we throw at it and bring warmth to our hearts that we “believe” that everything happened for a reason and that in the grand plan of life we all going in the righteous path!

Sadly, science has a different perspective on the issues of being and in the origins of life, from evolution to the Big Bang theory, the war between science & faith never withered leaving poor us torn between them and lost in the ever growing confusion.

I am sorry for not putting a specific answer, for even I am wonderer as you and all of us who are reading what were written on this matter. Good Luck

No none knows exactly how the world-material earth began.All we know are stories that can be proved untrue.So anything that cannot be proved attracts illusions to just to work the brains -not bad in itself. So is the theory of 'life after death'- exercise for the brains.All such relate to human behavior. In ancient times as at present human behavior had to be contained -how if not by instilling stories in minds of people?
