What do you think happens to us after we die?  Do you believe in reincarnation?  Where does our soul go?  What is a soul?

I would love to read what your take is on this subject.

I believe in reincarnation, think of a life as a day in class.

Laura, do you think we choose who we or what we come back as?  Who or what would you like to come back as?  I should also ask you... do you believe that we can only come back as a "who" or is a "what" possible too?

Hey Laura, (miss you)!  It sounds like you are well versed in your beliefs.  Kudos to you!  Standing up for what you believe is awesome.  It also sounds like you have been around.. not like that!  You know what I mean.  Thank you for your insight!

Our soul is our emotional or moral core. The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, & separable from the body at death.I've never met anyone who has come back from the dead to tell me that they were in a place of happiness or torture. 

I'm not certain yet but I'm on a quest to find out.

I didn't really think about it much.  Religion was not part of my childhood so I never knew what to believe.  Almost 10 years ago my older sister died and I started to wonder what happens after you die.  I'm not sure if I believe in Angels or ghosts but I believe it is possible.

My dad died almost 3 years ago.  Earlier this year I joined Cookie Lee to sell jewelry.  I really wanted to go to convention in August but I didn't have the money. 2 days before registration, I won $1,000 on a scratch ticket. This was enough to pay for registration, the plane ticket and the hotel room with enough left to buy jewelry from the new catalog.  2 weeks later I won another $500.  I am not that lucky but my dad was.  He would always win when he went to Reno.  It helps me to think that my dad was helping me out because he knew how important it was for me.  I am the youngest of 3 daughters and I think he worried about me the most.

His death is still very hard for me to deal with so believing that some part of his soul is around looking after me helps me get through the day.  I would like to believe that he and my sister are together and have finally found peace in death that they never had in life.

Your loved ones are always looking out for you.  I think that is where the idea of the guardian angels come into play, I know my grandfather is always there, my grandmother and my friends that did not survive, they got my back and it sounds like your father has yours.  Once and a while try talking, let him know how you are, I know it sounds weird but a loved one normally stays because they love you so much.  They like to know your ok.

Thanks for sharing your feelings.  How beautiful are your thoughts about your dad and your sister.  As I stated earlier, I don't know what our eternal destinations are but I do know (from experience) that our loved ones are near.  They watch and guide us throughout our lives.

When my daughter died, she appeared at my bedside on many nights to comfort me as I wept over missing her.  You are not alone in NOT understanding death.  Millions of people don't.  Many people say they understand it and they really WANT to understand it, but how could they, if they've never been there. 

We're all on that quest together.  Here is something that helps me; I don't see death as the end.....I am not going to die, I am going to live life to the end.

How's that?

Blessings to you always,

I believe that our souls are the energy that makes us who we are.  This energy is life when we are alive.  And energy does not die.  Where it goes, who knows.  I believe in the possibility of everything.  Reincarnation, sure.  I like to think that we come back as many times as it takes to learn all of the lessons we are meant to learn in this life.

I believe a soul can be everywhere and anywhere it wants to be when it finally lets go of the body, I  think it  'lives'  in a body to feel the physical side of exsistence ...I put it to you this ...How would you continue to exist for all enternity knowing everything about everything. I'm not talking about things like we learn with human experience ...I'm talking about having understanding without limit...So what we call the soul I think is a collective of energy that made the earth and everything else and we humans emerged eventually for the souls to exsist on a physical plain. I'm not a religious person but from my own experience the spirits of people do hang around ,some make their presence know while others seem a little lost.Dont know what experience you've had with spirits but I have had plenty ...I didnt think that it was even possible for them to be here,but I was WRONG! No ghost/spirit that i have 'spoken' to /that sounds really ridiculus to read it but i'm not going to insult the spirirts by denying they exsist. The ones I do speak with are usually in the form of their previous bodiley exsistence, I dont think we really ever die we just move on when our soul is ready to go.  I feel I havent really expressed myself very well,but peace and love to all,enjoy your journey.

I am unsure about recarnation, like if we were to come back and be something else......

I do believe that the people we love are watching over us and when things happen they happen for a reason.  Sometimes if we pay attention I am sure you probably can sense that it happened because our love ones are there and they are never really gone and when we weep they do too.  I believe in signs and sometimes I sense my love ones are never really gone.  They are here and they will be here.

They are never really gone - I agree.

I believe in eternal life in Heaven for those who have accepted Christ Jesus as their Savior. 

I do to, who wouldn't.

I don't, in fact many don't.

Out of curiosity what happens to those who don't accept your JC ?

All are judged on Judgment Day.  I believe that those who have had the opportunity to know Jesus and who do not believe that He is their Savior will spend eternity separated from God, which will be hell.  For those who came before Jesus or who have not heard the Good News, I trust in God's grace.

Not to stay off topic - but ... in my "universe" there is no eternal hell

                              "LIFE AFTER DEATH"  IS VERY  NICE TOPIC AND I WOULD LOVE TO DISCUSS THIS TOPIC.

           AS EVERY ONE HAVE THEIR OWN RELEGION AND OWN POINT OF VIEWS, THEREFORE, AM DISCUSSING THIS TOPIC BY MY RELEGIONS POIT OF VIEW.

           IN CASE IF ANYBODY DISLIKE MY DISCUSSION, I OPPOLOGISE FOR THT BUT I HOPE EVERY ONE WILL ENJOY IT AND WILL GET NEW AND DIFFERENT INFORMATION FROM MY DISCUSSION. 

           EVERY ONE HAVE "LIFE AFTER DEATH" WHEN V GOT DIE OUR SOUL BEEN CAUGHT BY AN ANGEL"JIBRAIL" AND TAKE IT         TO "ALLAH AL MIGHTY" AND OUR BODY LEFT IN GRAVE. THOUGH FIRST V R EXAMINED IN GRAVE BY 2 ANGELS" NAKIR"&"MUNKIR" AND ASKED FEW QUESTIONS, THOSE R VERY EASY QUESTIONS BUT BASED ON OUR FAITH THT UP TO WAT EXTENT OUR FAITH IS STRONG AND PURE. IF OUR FAITH IS STRONG SO V R PASSED AND A DOOR OPENS IN RIGHT SIDE THT IS OF "HEAVEN" AND V ENJOYED THT TILL THE JUDGMENT DAY COMES. IF UNFORTUNATELY V FAILS IN ANSWERING THEN A DOOR OPENS AT THE LEFT SIDE OF GRAVE THT IS OF "HELL" AND MORE OVER THOSE "ALLAHS" ANGELS PUNISHED US FOR A BAD DEEDS AND SINS WHICH V DID IN WORLD.

THIS PROCESS WILL GO ON TILL THE "JUDGEMENT DAY"  

NOTE: "ALLAH " IS MY GOD

                                                                                    THANK YOU.

I find that interesting as well . Is  Jibrail  who we call Gabriel?   Also, do you know what questions the angels are going to ask?  [ nothing like a bit of insurance is there? ]
