[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find comfort in my husband talking to me about physics. Energy cannot be destroyed. We are all made of energy. So when we die, our energy has to go somewhere, right? [/quote] sure It could fly off into a tree. [/quote] It could. This is true. It would still exist and then go somewhere else. So regardless of whether or not the soul exists beyond physical death, part of us still survives. If that is the case, then why would it be so far fetched that our souls continue on too? I am not religious, but I have had some crazy experiences in my life that have shown me there is MUCH more than what we know. Though, whatever you do believe, we all came from the same place and the same thing happens to us when we leave this world. [/quote] it's not that "part" of us survives. It that when we die, our physical body doesn't disappear - it takes eventually takes another form. Let any animal burn or decay and you will see what the form is. There's nothing mystical about it and certainly no evidence of an afterlife. The soul is a societal invention - like religion. There is no physical evidence that humans have souls, and animal do not -- as some religions teach.[/quote] I say soul only because is how others understand it. I believe the soul is our energy. Being raised Jewish, I definitely understand what happens to the physical body after death. That is why Jews are (or supposed to be) buried in simple pine coffins. The coffin breaks down and allows the body to deteriorate and become one with the earth . We go back to the earth from which we came. I still feel that the energy that makes up our "soul" goes back out into the universe. Personally, I have never felt that there was anything mystical about it. It always just felt right to me. Even though I was raised Jewish, I am not religious. Actually, my orthodox Jewish sister in law told me I was crazy for some of the things I felt. I laughed inside because of who was telling me that! No matter what happens, I find comfort in the fact our energy goes back into stars/universe/nature...even if that is not what happens. [/quote] Thanks for the clarification. What do you think people's souls do once they return to the universe?[/quote] Also, do you think the same thing happens with other animals -- or maybe with plants too -- i.e. things that were once living, but are now decomposed.[/quote] Animals, yes. Plants, I don't know. I suppose it's harder for me to imagine it happening with plants because they are not (that we are aware of) sentient. That said, they are energy and it would only make sense that it goes too. I have no idea what happens when our energy goes back. If going off quantum physics, it goes to our self that is still alive in a parallel universe. It could also go back to a collective consciousness. If that's the case, things like precognition could have more validity. I know the night before 9/11 I dreamt of running into a burning building to save people. There was blood and bodies everywhere. I never had a dream like that before or after. I then heard a bunch of people had similar dreams or saw planes flying into buildings in their dreams. [b]How could all those people have such similar dreams on the same night? Could be coincidence, or there could be more to it. [/b] i think when people have moments of ESP, like knowing who is calling before picking up the phone, it's coming from the same place. It could be we are always tuned into it, though unaware while existing on this plane. I wish I could understand physics and quantum physics better. I ask my husband when I have questions and he can explain it to me![/quote] Probably on any given night, a lot of people have similar dreams, but nothing happens the next day to make them aware of what others are dreaming. It could be that something more is going on, but that's not to say it is something from a supernatural force. Chances are, like everything we've figured out up to now, it's a natural phenomenon that we had previously not understood.[/quote]
