whn you die, you lie in wait sleeping until the judgement comes. you dont go anywhere. Thats my reasoning for ghosts. Some dont rest as well as others while waiting. Several references are made to the sleeping aspect in the bible. You are not dead but your soul is sleeping thats my take on it. If everyone goes to heaven or hell upon death, then your already judged and whats would be the reason to have a judgement day.

Hello, I believe the spirit lives on and on until it no longer desires the emotional attachment of the human form. The end being the state called "heaven" and the belief in hell is true in that if the desires of the negative emotions in life drive the person away from its path toward spiritual enlightenment and the body ends its journey before reaching the blissful state it was designed for then the torments in the place between lives must happen to resolve the spirit into its original purpose, to become good and bring peace and harmony into the earth. I would like to discuss this with the DALAI LAMA and resolve some of my earthbound issues. I have less desire for the human form but still have the desire to return to lead others toward the peaceful purposes in life. The Catholics have Saints to achieve this goal, but the knowledge in such matters are somewhat cluttered with political unrest so to say. I don't know if coming back into a war torn earth life would be so useful ,but still someone must end the strife.

my view is based on all the cultures of the world and my personal interactions with spirits. Yes the spirit lives on and yes their are whole worlds out there. There is no heaven and hell as such just levels of existence. For example you ere born - live your life and providing you have done nothing overally bad you can go back to your departed relatives and live in a time that made you happy. If you have been overally bad and done things that impacted on people you may get a taste of what it was like to be with your relatives but then removed to think about what you have done and the impact on others. lets face it most people's version of heaven would be to catch up with departed loved ones. most people's version of hell would be to remain a a decrepid state as to the one they died in and be forgotten.
do i believe in the bible's version of events - no i dont. i think that the bible's target group had access to limited information and was easily pleased with the if you are good you go to heaven and bad you go to hell concept. the black an white interpretation is basic but leaves no room for other ideas. today we have access to more information and access to more people to share oppions so the basics are put aside. the bible has some good comparisons and themes to learn from and many interesting proverbs. good luck in your quest.
Edit - i am not sure where booknpen is coming from. the assumption that Denie is making any statements based on the bible is odd and i am not sure how this person read into Denie's question any association with the bible when all she asks is do you think the spirit lives on - this btw is concept of all culturs not just a christian one that the spirit lives on.

I believe in reincarnation which is when you die your spirit is reborn into another life. There are many stories that support this if you go to google and search True stories of reincarnation you can find some good examples.

Your body is nothing more than a protective shell for your soul to live in. Your soul is eternally young & will live on long after your body(shell) has worn out.
So the answer to your question is Yes, I believe your soul(spirit) lives on.

I think our only idea are limited to the human consciousness. Personally, the idea of multiple levels of existence sounds believable. So far, many things I have seen are based on several levels, moving up from one to the the other. Maybe some factors influence whether we move up or down or whatever happens. No one knows and I think it's just whatever our human creativity/ideas comes up with.

I believe in reincarnation, that when you die you are reborn so that you may experience another aspect of life...such as where you may be meek and shy in this life next time you will be open and outgoing..I think that the soul learns more by experiencing everything that is possible to experience.
But that is just what I think.

I believe that something (that spark of life) continues. I have no idea what form it might be in though. One might become part of a universal conscious, one might be part of a star, one might be reincarnated, one might become Q (on Star Trek) which would be my goal ;) but I choose to believe that life in some way continues.
I do not say that I know one way or the other and I certainly believe people should be rewarded and punished in this life for their deeds just in case.

I have seen neither reason nor evidence to warrant a belief in life after death. I can understand why people would want to live forever, but since no one has ever died and come back to life I don't see where all of these convoluted life after death ideas came from. It all seems like wishful thinking to me, but I would never discourage someone from believing in that which comforts them.

i believe that after you die, you have a spirit that lives on, being in heaven, staying on earth, or being reincarnated into another person.!!!;)
