Perhaps we replay all of our life over in our minds. Who really knows if we're still alive at all? I doubt our minds perception of time would be the same as what we consider real time if that's the case.

I am sure however that my body will decay and what makes up my body will become part of other things. Consciousness is a rather confusing subject though. Considering what makes my consciousness is all of the billions of microscopic parts working together, it makes sense to believe that as almost all of them will become a part of different things, any other consciousness that it becomes part of will never be mine.

I wouldn't be surprised if what handy mentioned (on the second page of this thread) was true though. It seems quite possible that if you have any realisation of your own death, perhaps for the split second before your body really does stop to function completely, your mind may show you what you believe to be what you deserve as a consequence of how you feel you acted during your life.

I guess I believe it's down more to psychology than an actual afterlife.

By the way, Carl Jung was Swiss, if it hasn't already been mentioned somewhere else in the thread.

I honestly would like to believe in an afterlife, it's a comforting concept. But, I truly think that we're something like a computer. The brain is RAM, filled with everything our body needs to fuction and thrive. But when the current stops, everything contained in RAM is gone, zip, doo da.

I would like to believe certain things, but no one knows until they die. And, if the things I have been led to believe are true, you may not know just right away either.

No matter what, we have no basis for discussion while we live. It's all conjecture and/or beliefs.
I'd say that the main difference between me and other people is the fact that we are not the same person.
