Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

No proof. It may be as you describe. Fear then death. Great, huh? Good thing god loves us. I wonder what life would be like if he didn't.

The flowers return in the spring...I hope it is all over when I die. Oblivion is preferable to an eternity of mind.

You have to believe...faith is believing in what you cannot see. Can you see your stomach digesting its food? no? well how do you know that it is?

There is no definitive proof of life after death. That is a question everyone must answer individually. I believe in life after death though.

If this life is all there is -- we simply cease to exist at death --- there's nothing to be afraid of.No suffering, no pain.....no fear.

Yet if there is life after death, that hope would be found in the bible.I have found three hopes. Heaven for some, life on earth for others, and (believe it or not) the one you have presented -- death,with the hope of nothing afterwards.You just cease to exist.

I believe it will be like this, you just fade out...
That seems logical and without proof, it makes no sense to me to believe otherwise...

Heaven/hell, come on, those terms were used 3000 years ago to scare people...

Well, in general there is no proof there isn't nothing after death. Whats after death is probably some dream realm based of your beliefs and individualism. So if belive in heaven you go to heaven, if you belive in nothing ness, thats what you get, if belive in rencarnation sure enough thats what happens. :D

My boyfriend believes it to be just the way you put it.
I believe we all go somewhere.
Even if our souls are still on earth, Everyone has a place.

There is no proof of life after death. The afterlife is an object of faith.

I'm afraid of dying. That's because I'm an animal with a built-in instinct to survive.

But I'm not afraid of non-existence. 1955 was not a rough year for me. After all, I was born in 1957. The time after my death will not be rough either.

But I have longed to believe in an afterlife ever since I fell in love. I want my beloved to last forever.

If we are physical beings, our substance is constantly ceasing to be part of us and becoming part of the rest of the world. At death, this occurs to our entire substance, but by then we should be used to it because it's already been happening for our entire lives.

The possibility that we don't have forever makes life more precious. Also, if one fears death, one is fearing that which one will not experience, and after death there is nothing to do any fearing or anything else, so some have argued that it's irrational to fear death. In a sense, it's not going to happen to us because we won't be there at the time.

Well ask this question to yourself-
"Before I was born, was I dead or did I spring from nothing?"
I believe we return from where we came. If we came from nothing so shall we become when life is over.

You won't be aware of anything. Nothing to get worried over.. Nothing lasts 'forever' - even the sun & all the other stars will not last.

Cheer up..!! Enjoy your 'visit' - we are only tourists here. ; - )
