What is your concept of an After-Life?

I've always been curious to see people's views on this. I've heard tons of different responses before but I still want to hear what you guys have to say about this. Do you believe in Heaven and Hell? Or possibly, Reincarnation? What do you think it could be like? Do you think we go through a process before achieving an After-Life? Personally, I don't believe in an After-Life but I find it extremely interesting to hear other people's views about it. :)

My concept of an after-life is taking my consciousness through to the next state without my physical body. I regard heaven as being determined by the state of consciousness we have attained during this life, akin to like attracts like and the awareness you take into these states of consciousness. Hell could be likened to where humanity has fallen to now but that's a standpoint that's debatable.

So, if I follow you correctly, you believe our consciousness is transported into a permanent state of euphoria once we die?

Mind you the word Heaven - well that's perhaps a fluid concept, don't think geography!

Well, all I can say is, that's quite an interesting way to look at things. :)

I don't really believe in an after life per-se. Most of my idea of an "after-life" is pretty down to earth and scientific. When we die, the energy that makes up our body is released back into the environment. Now, I have considered some supernatural elements, such as strong human emotions making an impression on the environment. However, I don't believe we retain have any afterlife in which we are aware of our ethereal existence. In other words, I don't believe in heaven, hell, or souls.

I do believe in a heaven and hell but unlike many Christians I also believe that there are circumstances or reasons (of which I'm not sure) that can create a situtaion where a spirit is caught between and left in this world. I don't believe in reincarnation but to each their own if they do believe. I think end result is whatever the outcome we're all going to experience it together so we better get our butts in gear and learn how to accept one another! LOL

Heaven and Hell are not things that I believe in but Reincarnation I do..I believe that we live several lives in order to gain a COMPLETE understanding of what living truly is...After we've completed that cycle we work our way up the spiritual ladder so to speak to eventually return back to the Ultimate source for lack of a better term..

I'm not totally sure about this but I think that your soul goes to a place of peace for awhile and waits around to be transplanted into another human being. So I guess I believe in both heaven,ghosts and reincarnation.

I'm not sure about afterlife and heaven or hell,but I do believe in souls.I think our souls will separate from our bodies after we die.
