RE: Afterwards

Interesting! I always feel doubtful about this really. It sounds terrible but I think once we are dead we are dead. It's just wishful thinking because we can't imagine our brains stopping and there being nothing of us left. Sounds nihilistic I suppose. I'd also like to believe I'm wrong!

Sort:  

I think there is a high probability that at the very end of life we will have a pleasant surprise. My thoughts are not based on faith. I was an atheist until I was 30 and after 30 I did not become a believer, only knowledge.

and after 30 I did not become a believer, only knowledge.

What do you mean?

At the age of 30, I read a book by Soviet neurophysiologist Natalia Bekhtereva and was struck by the cases from her practice that were inexplicable by science. Since then, I have been studying similar cases.

I guess most of that is still theory, and there is a lot of science that suggests otherwise or, theorizes too!
