The Afterlife

What do you belief happens after you die? Is there a heaven or hell? Will you be reincarnated? Is any kind of spiritual, or even physical immortality possible? I personally do not believe one way or the other. I am very open minded though as to the possibilities. I tend to leave the afterlife to after life is over, and now live in the moment as much as I can. I do many things that different belief systems say may lead to a good afterlife, but I do them not to achieve a good afterlife. Rather I do these things so that I have a good life now. I do indeed hope that certain ideas are true. On occasion I catch myself concentrating extra hard when I meditate, or being very kind, or what ever because on a subconscious level I'm hoping for a pay off in the afterlife (if such a thing exists). It might seem contradictory but I am also very much into the Transhumanism\Immortalism movement. I do hope that we each a scientific or any solution to the problem of death, just incase I discover while I'm still alive that there is no afterlife. ;) How do all you mylot folks view death. Is it a blessing or a curse, or what? What do you believe about death, and the afterlife? And please explain why you believe this.

heavy! youve got a healthy way of looking at things. i agree with quite a bit of it myself. i dont necessarily believe in heaven and hell and reincarnation tho, but as we all kno thats something no one can prove even if thereve been claims of reincarnation (lets leave that to another discussion!) i dont think physical imomrtality is possible, not in the next few centuries at least - but who knows. maybe my mind just isnt creative enough to think of the possibilities :P i know some people who are atheists, some who believe in reincarnation, and many who dont know what they believe in. i have no problem with that. but i cant stand hypocrites who believe they must do good in the life here and now just in case (!) there exists some sort of afterlife and we have to pay for our sins la la la. charity shouldnt come from being afraid of what happens if u dont do good!
