I am wondering what is your view on Death? It is interesting to hear different views and thoughts on the subject.

My beliefs used to be fear because I believed that when you died, you died and I didn't subscribe to the theory that there was an everlasting life. It was an ego trip and on reflection, and because my ideas and theories are changing I believe that death is a silent companion to the Soul and that, that battleground is a struggle between death and the ego. The ego is like a guard that we pull around our lives and it is scared, threatened and grasping. In fact it tries to protect.. whilst the Soul, on the other hand has no such barriers and is likened to a minstrel journeying on to further horizons. There is no areas it cannot travel as the Soul is in touch with the eternal dimension of time and is never afraid of what is yet to come.

I do not believe that the Dead are very far away, but more like our neighbours and so very near to us. One day each one of us have to face our appointment with death and journey towards a new horizon.

The Sufi movement have their beliefs that the Soul can be perfected which is getting onto to perhaps a different thread about religion..but for now I agree with the Sufi's on one thing, and that is there is so very few new souls in this world.

It is my opinion, that death as we know it in our Western Culture is pushed to the margins in modern life and there is so much drama about the funeral and unnecessary pomp, ceremony and commercialism. It becomes like real superficial. To sum this up John O' Donohue, Celtic writer says, "Our consumerist society has lost the sense of ritual and wisdom necessary to acknowledge this right of passage"

I tend to believe that we become ghosts, we either cross over to the other plane of exsistance or are earthbound for years to come. Ghosts can become confused and lost if not given clarity.
I believe in this theory since I've had first hand proof that such spirits exsist, believe me or not.
I have my doubts about reincarnation, but I think it could be true.

If I think about death scientifically, I think of blankness. That's it. Life's over. Like the end of a movie where the screen goes black, only it stays black forever, and it can't be rewound because our bodies will start to go back to the earth. Or a book being closed once it's read, then it's buried so it can never be read again.

It's a complicated topic, and the only ones who can answer our questions aren't able to do so.

I don't fear the act of dying. I just don't want to die yet; I am having too much fun!!

Yes, I believe in spirits of unrest. The energy that possesses our bodies, while we are alive, continues to surround us after the body is gone. My metaphysical beliefs far exceed my educational background in science, and I love the sensation of elan vital among the living!!

My Mom passed away last week. Her health was bad, and I am actually releived she is no longer in pain.

At 21 I'm getting grey hairs. I forsee this as a sign I'm growing older mentally, but not so physically.

I had a car crash Sept 24 of this year, and was the middle car. My car is totaled, I'm still in pain and mostly in my chest. I walked away horribly hurt, but still alive.

A few years ago I was driving with my mother (one who adopted me,) and our car sat on the railroad tracks. I went blank, not hering or seeig, and felt the car beig pushed over the tracks. Just moments later I was off the track, the train bulleting behind me where I had -just- been sitting.

I never heard the alarms, or the honking, or my 'mother' or seen anything.
I wasn't in my body at that point in time.

I welcome death, I don't see it as a "dark hole", or "the beginning of the end". I beleive that we are here to learn a lesson, when that lesson is learned, *what ever it maybe*, that is when we die, or pass on, or get reborn. I look forward to learning the lesson I need to learn this time around.

I myself know that death is not final. I;m a firm believe in reincarnation and have had many instances in my life where I have seen myself in the past and even dreamt of it. Even for my age everyone always mentions how I am beyond my years that my mentality isn't of that of an adolescent. I believe every life brings a new lesson, a test of something that couldn't be fullfilled in the former life. Therefore we must figure out what it is we need to learn or do so that we may return home. There are a number of existing realms and the physical realm which we inhabit now is actually the lowest. Our bodies are like vessels, carrying our very essence as we travel throughout time. When we die we return to that higher realm of being where we are whole again, I for one feel out of place here and out of touch with my inner self. I do not fear death but embrace it when the time comes for me to return and start a new journey into a new life and become reborn.

I wouldn't call this earth plane the lowest of the realms, but it is pretty far down the ladder.

There are planes below earth one can exist within.

If you are on earth then you are just simply killing time untill you can be somewhere better anyways....

Earth is like the shitty opening band to kill time until the headliner band is ready to perform..... who agrees with me?

Death, I'm not afraid of it, it's just another step in the process.

Personally I am not ready yet.

We are on soul camp.. like holiday... we chose this destination to learn a little more and have fun.

I don't knoiw what lies beyond death, But I can say I'm not scared to die. I feel that when we die we will be judged, not for what we have done, but for what we haven't done. Also I think we will be our own judge, due to the fact that we can be harder on ourselves than anyone else can. I'm not too sure about heaven or hell, but we probably will be placing ourselves in the appropriate place, wether it is heaven, hell, or Cleaveland.The only fear I have of death is leaving those I love without properly giving them everything that I can.Perhaps that is where ghosts come from, who knows.

I'm with you DWolf on the fear issue. I don't think it would feel right to leave this earthly sphere without preparing and giving what you can to those you love..in fact that would be the scariest thing in Death for me not thaving that done. Grim Reaper can come any time after that.

I think that most people here talk about them going on to a further place..a different plane, and that cool. Like Jason, I believe your body dies, that includes your ego, your brain, the end of you as such and your life is finished.... caput. But I do believe according to my faith that the Soul lives on until it finds perfection and is able to rest, and that is why some of us have a feeling that we have been in this place or know some kindred Soul from before

I belive death is final too. Although I hope not. I do not fear it either. But I would hate for it to come before I had fullfilled the meaning of life. That is, to be remembered by those you want to be remembered by. For that is true immortality.

Death is just the ending of this exsistance and a start of another. Is there a heaven or hell? Not sure but this can not be the only stop on our journey. For if it is what a waste.
