    Re: What happens when you die?

    I'm not sure. What I've seen of death felt peaceful. So whatever does or doesn't come after, I like to think it is a state of peace. I do believe in rebirth, but I'm not sure it's instant, or always happens. I just think it can...

    Do what?
    Remind me of the babe!

        Interesting, I work with the elements regularly and have been observing these aspects recently. I think I prefer "awareness" to "consciousness" though, it seems more generally applicable, like for plants.

        I think some pagans add "spirit" as a 5th element?

            It means this an informal chat. And if we diverge into defining those terms (many posts don't even touch upon those terms) we'd be on page 666 by the time we got around to just, I dunno..asking a question and someone answering it with what they believe. If you can't state what you believe in a nice easy straightforward way, you might want to not post until you are sure. I guess.

                  Yeah, I'm a Catholic who hasn't been to confession for 45 years, so I am definitely stuffed.

                    I don't dislike your posts. I'm replying to your post, that's all.
                    It's good to source your poem, even if it's your own. You know for good promotion. I am a writer and I will always post that this is a poem of mine if it is. In fact if you like poetry so much, we have a portfolio section here where you can post.


                    You might want to re think posting poetry as a response if that 'poem' doesn't exactly come across as a poem, but as a direction in words to define. It can be a bit confusing.

                      Reincarnation. I think. I'm not really sure what I think. Death still terrifies me, so I can't be that sure in what I think at the moment.

                            Reincarnation. But likely not reincarnation on this world, particularly if you're spiritually advanced. Essentially, souls kep moving up to higher forms of life, and since we're among the highest, we likely go onto another, even more advanced body, which isn't very available on this plane. Certain rituals can also control the process; for example, aiding in the retainment of memories, or choosing a specific plane and general host body (though if you can do either of those, you most certainly aren't reincarnating on this plane).

                            So sort of like a mixture of regular reincarnation and the ascension line of thought, really. Oh well.

                              Death terrifies me too. But I cannot lie to myself. I know how to be in denial about certain things. But when it comes to life and death, I just can't force myself to come up with an answer and be like, yeah, let's go with that. My brain will tear it apart. I've been lying in bed and will think about the act of being after my death and I give myself an actual panic attack. So I put a kibosh on that.

                                I understand what will be,will be..I have no control about what death means,but I know it is everyones destination. So,I do not think on it much,having no control over it means that I will know the answers when I die,and only then.
