But what if I want to live forever and experience those possibilities rather than dying with this iteration? Or does a conceptual metaphysical afterlife transcend the physical experiences of this universe and its apparent time constraints? Or do I come back, live again through another version of my life next time around?

Maybe rather than being reincarnated and recycled within our own iteration, we only get reincarnated once our universe comes to an end and get reborn again into the next one (and of course implying we were all members of the previous.). What if there's a life form out that that knows how to transcend the big bang/crunch phenomena?

If there's anyone or anything that knows how to escape that fate, or death as we define it, I would love to meet that entity.

I guess you'll just have to wait until Cher goes on tour again and get a meet and greet pass

Yes, speak the truth

No. Thankfully.

Even worse: a recording studio with James Corden for a Christmas album collaboration!

No. It doesn't make sense to me, and I just think it's peoples way of dealing with fear of dying. The idea of existing forever sounds awful anyway.

It's a nice idea but unfortunately no

The idea of the afterlife being developed as a result of fear of death is nothing more than a genetic fallacy. It couldn't have been conceived for that reason especially when theistic religions teach the idea of hell and most people ending up there, and eastern religions have reincarnation which basically means never-ending suffering. One of the biggest misconceptions people have especially about reincarnation is that they think it is a positive aspect when Hinduism and Buddhism actually teach that reincarnation/rebirth should be avoided, and moksha/nirvana or basically nonexistence is what one should ultimately aim for.

I read most of these comments, yes there's an afterlife, I have experience the most blissful state as my consciousness know damn well that dimension is where I belong after I die. But I have to experience life for my evolution which I don't know why should I ? We never know why The Creator did it in the first place.

Afterlife is real and I have ever experienced little death and I can't explain what I felt, it's uniquely my personal experience. Those who don't believe won't matter, cuz that place totally accept us unconditionally.

Don't know much but there's a place where there's no space, time and limitation.

No, I can accept that I will lose my consciousness forever when I die.

Absolutely not. There's no such thing as 'near death experience' either. You're just experiencing ****. I suggest you to go read more books.

I don't know what I believe.

Over the past few years though, I've began to hope more that there is, if only to cope with losing the people I've lost over my life.
