I'm not afraid of what happens to me when I die, I just know that their will be no more pain and suffering. Where ever I go I will be with all the other dead people I have loved and lost so it won't be to bad.
what happens when you die?

we turn into worm food imvho.. thus, the circle of life continues, surely not in the same form it is now, we will soon be the dirt that worms eat, than the bird that eats the worm, then the car that the bird flies into at 55 mph. etc, etc, add infinity.

If you're dead you can't experience anything, so it will be neither good nor bad....
OP: Why do you define the existence of a soul as, 'having intelligence to contemplate ones existence'? How do you know this or who told you, and how do they know this? Seems to me you just described the brain, as that's the origin of our intelligence. Unless of course you're suggesting mentally handicapped people with diminished intelligence also have diminished souls. I guess if their condition was bad enough, maybe by your definition, they wouldn't even have a soul. Poor soulless bastards... lol
What does the soul control? We know where the logical, emotional, spacial, cognitive, etc., etc., etc., areas of the brain are, what they do, and how those areas communicate with one another through electro-chemical processes and whatnot. So, what does the soul, 'do'? It's not for memory, or dreaming, or doing logical thought, creative pursuits, etc., ad nauseum, so what is its purpose?
Is it like a separate brain that also has the ability to contain memories, emotions, and the higher cognitive functions? If we have an ethereal 'brain', why do we need a physical brain? Seems pretty redundant and nonsensical.

I think we just cease to exist as much as I would like to believe in heaven and what not I just cant accept a book that was written 2000 years after shit happened. I've always wondered if we just move on to another dimension. You have all the ghost sightings but maybe we are only getting brief glimpse of the next dimension we move on to just a thought. Before you ponder this you must put a sticky chunk of skunk bud or your favorite into a pipe and apply flame

Yes. If you want to actually explain anything, you need to say more.
this is actually my thought process..I think we just cease to exist as much as I would like to believe in heaven and what not I just cant accept a book that was written 2000 years after shit happened.

i believe he's referring to Native Americans..they "walk on" can be "skin walkers" etc.

This is an argument I'll never understand. When you hallucinate, you see things that aren't real. How does that reflect the nature of reality in any way, shape, or form?
It doesn't.

i'm sorry if you have never gotten to experience that feeling of 'this is more than a drug' whilst in a psychedelic mindset. not to mention there is much more to taking lsd than hallucinating lol..if that is the extent of your understanding than i am not surprised by your inability to understand where i'm coming from.

I've had all kinds of profound moments on many different psychedelics, I just didn't let the experiences override my common sense and justified skepticism.
When on LSD everything you experience is in your mind. That's a fact.

I believe in the possibility of reincarnation.
I'm not saying everyone is going to be reincarnated but I'm sure its possible for some people that the Higher Power has "picked". But maybe everyone is reincarnated too but the people that didn't follow their conscience and made very bad choices will be reincarnated into a lesser state then those that followed their personal Higher Power.
This life could just be a little test to see where you deserve your next life to be.
This is all just speculation but I personally believe in reincarnation.
EDIT- So it might not be all over when you die, it might just be a new beginning!
~PEACE~

What if "eternal life" was living one great life after another?
You would live a full life and then die, and then be born again into another life. And so the cycle repeats an infinite amount of times.
Would that be hell to you still?
