I never knew anyone who died and lived to tell the story, but my guess is:

When you die the only thing you'll be facing is years of decay.. In that respect it is not significantly different from life..

An important difference however is, that in death you will be recycled by the very nature you have been trying to destroy your whole life...

I give this topic an awful amount of my time, so here are some of my theories.

First of all I find the idea of a creator god quite simplistic and vulgar. We as humans see everything as a "creation" of sorts by way of manipulating objects because that is what our brains are geared to do. We are artifact makers. Therefore it is only natural that we base our entire perception of what we see around us as having been constructed by a "who" or a "something". Other means of explaining life usually fall into the illogical catagory of our thinking because our evolution has been based on a certain cognitive structure.

Lately in order to make sense I've been looking the other way - at birth. I've been thinking how what I am experiencing in day to day life right now is as utterly non-existent to my future unborn son as the world will be after his death. Yet the material for his creation is right here in my bloodstream, and no doubt he will carry on many of the physical and psychological traits the same way that I carry on my father's. So I ask the question, is the individual simply a replication a single consciousness. I am my ancestors as my desendants will be too, so as long as the genetic line continues so will my immortality.

Another idea is that life is cyclical not only on a molecular level but on a sentient one as well. For want of a better word, souls are redistributed in death. This is not like the common view of reincarnation since I propose that there is no breaking the cycle, and that the number of souls is always constant. Also I believe that the rate of reincarnation is not immediate, that one's last life can range from a human hundreds of years ago to a dinosaur millions of years ago.

Your time on earth is a spiritual hazing ritual to test your integrity.

Humans are a blip on the evolutionary radar. The only reason we are able to question death is because of the level of sophistication our use of language has brought us. But it doesn't really amount to anything, as nature is cruel and indifferent. Our lives and deaths are inconsequential to the overall picture.

I agree.

One's own perception of all things, spiritually and beyond, are only a result of their conception of reality altogether. All that you touch, see, and feel is a physical tranlation of one's boundless, or ultimate, conception of actuality, and what is "real".

The only way to actually find a path, and only a path is to reach the Omega: The Absolute, if it does really...Exist.

Cheers to that!

So it all comes down to the angle of perspective and the matter of ignorance. If you read my poem too, I also talked about "the hand made God."
