Remember what it was like before you where born?
That's what it will be like.

Not from not equals not apparently and you have just excluded 99 percent of all people who have ever lived. I will take my chances with the Jews and Buddhist. At least they don't mess with me on Saturday's while I am watching the game.

hopefully Heaven and hopefully I go there
depends on what day I die though, considering some days I'm more religious than others

No where in the Bible does it give any hint of that happening. It is very doubtful that anyone will ever walk with God Almighty any more after death than they do before death or even see him.
Where did I mention anything about the bible? You believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I believe.

I don't know what kind of afterlife I believe in, but I am inclined to believe that consciousness exists independent of the body and persists after death in some way.
quote:
I'm especially interested in personal accounts of people who've experimented with DMT. In large doses people almost universally report waking up in a large room where extradimensional beings try to "teach" them things.
Look up astral projection as they report the same things found in DMT trips or other mega dose trip reports (mushrooms, peyote, lsd, etc). Also near death experiences (NDE) report a lot of the same things as well. But specificilly look up astral projection, which I think can lead us to the truer nature of reality and what we consider to be real.
quote:Know thy self is a popular saying. Another is that we are all one. We are all god. I think everything ever created or will be created is god in a sense. We all came from the same stuff when the universe was created. Many thing the before the big bang everything was severely compacted into a small ball or pea. Well this could be considered 'god' and then when the big bang happened (if even true) then everything that were to ever be created came from this ball or pea. I think life is the experience of every and all possibilities and eventually conscienceness will merge back into a singularity (GOD).
I heard a story from Terence McKenna about some Tibetan buddhist monks who were given DMT. When they came down they said "We know this place. This is the beginning of the Bardo. This is as far as you can go into the afterlife and still return."
When I speak of "God" i don't mean the christian god or muslim god as those are too simple and childish in nature.

What about the millions of people that lived and died before Christ? Where did they go? What about the millions of people who worship other gods and practice other forms of religion? They need to dress for hot weather? What about the people in 3rd world countries who have never heard the word of God? Where do these people go? I'm not trying to bust your balls. This is something I have always wondered myself and would like to hear others opinions.

Ok here's mine, there is a creator, I call Him God, others have different names for Him. I don't claim to know who or what He is, I am content to just know that He is. I believe that as long as you make an effort to do His will no matter what your name for Him is, then you are given an afterlife. Am I right? Only time will tell, but I'm ok with my beliefs.

Right
But what the previous poster is saying is that the Christian God will send billions to hell for simply being born in the wrong part of the world and subjected to the "wrong" religion.
Doesn't add up

I've had this question/idea in the back of my mind, strongly, for an extensive amount of time, given that I figured I would have my beliefs all squared away by now. It is still a massive internal struggle for me to this day. I know I will never know and I've done all the research into faith, but I feel I can't call myself and act in strict Christian ways if I don't truly believe it in my heart and soul. I want to believe in a Christian God, but I sincerely can't when there is an insane amount of distant cultures and beliefs that say otherwise, can't discard ancient cultures just because a group of old men in Red robes say what is right what is wrong, how our history apparently occurred and how it actually went down, the ancient texts that were meant to be in the Bible all of a sudden need to be removed and forgotten, being homosexual is against The Lord's will but all of a sudden it's acceptable to be a homosexual just bc of the current cultural situation. How can old men in robes alter and dictate what God wants his people to do and believe every now and then; "oh this scripture is not what God wants so we will deem it irrelevant for 2015" "God told me he now wants homosexuality to be accepted se we need to completely flip one of the biggest pillars in our belief system". Basically all I hear is the profitable response to the rapidly changing cultural norm. "If we don't say the Gays can go to heaven then we will begin to lose some of our 1Billion followers and lose their donations to our TRILLIONS of dollars Vatican Bank"
My buddies still respond "like wtf" or "this is how it's gonna go" when I try and bring this sort of topic up bc they're either dedicated Christians, Atheist, or the College professor route where they have an apparent definitive fact and reason to explain and prove everything wrong.
My Momma has always told and reassured me that whatever/whoever the correct way of understanding/perceiving God is, no matter what culture, is always going to be scientifically unknown until you kick the bucket. Every religion funnels into one basic concept, be honest with yourself and do good by others. A long as your a genuinely good and honest person then you have nothing to worry about. If there is a heaven and hell then you shouldn't have to worry about doing the suggested things that would get you into Heaven every day. If your meant to be there you will end up there because you innately made your decisions to get yourself there, that's how you know your a good person. You didn't do the right thing because you think you'll go to hell if you don't, you did the right thing because you wanted to and your soul/being acted in it's goodness to do the right thing regardless of the outcome.
Sorry for length but I've been wanting to express this topic outside my circle for a while now

You have been marked as a threat to the Funeral Industrial Complex.

"Inside of every person there is the fundamental idea of God" I too believe that if you live your life unselfishly and honestly for the most part keeping in contact with God you will be rewarded. It took years of living the wrong way and battling my own self imposed demons and an altruistic group of people to get me to understand that God and religion are two seperate things and that's where my spiritual journey began, it has fundamentally changed me.

I tell this to people all the time. I just want a pine box. If you're buried within 24 hours in texas you don't require embalming.
I don't want my organs removed, chemicals pumped in me, and my eyes and lips sewn shut.......

We ascend one level on the eternal scales.
Then we get to start all over again.
Memories get pushed back into the Universe Pool.
And a fresh start for the New Coil begins.
