People who believe we live on after death..what do you believe lives on? Soul? Personality? Are they the same thing in your belief system?

Nope, I hope not. If yes, I have a long list of people I'll haunt. But if there's life after death then why do we die?

yes...

Good question, Alan Watts alluded to it when he said to try and imagine what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up, then try to imagine what it was like to wake up having never gone to sleep.

I find it interesting to think that when we die, if that will be the ultimate end of the the self or if the consciousness lives on with the soul. What is our consciousness without our personality, it seems like an intrinsic aspect of the continuation. Perhaps what we experience beyond our vessels would have a profound impact on our personalities, but we remain as individuals still. I wouldn't rule it out anyway, we're able to ponder these things on a little rock ambling about a gargantuan universe and nobody's sure how or why the fu*k we got here to begin with.

In a nutshell, I don't have a clue.

We develop our personalities as we grow. So I don't see a personality can survive death. How can something that we can see has a beginning not have an ending?

He's quite interesting Alan Watts. Some good talks of his on YouTube.

Make your minds up athiests, you can't have a soul if life was an accident. But i try an explain how it feels. You die your soul comes out, your then judged by god, if you go to heaven this is how it feels. imagine every negative feeling being removed from you, example taken the feeling of hate away, worry, sadness, time, stress etc, none of these feelings exist, instead it's a feeling of love, this world is irrelevant, an amazing feeling, you could stand in the same place and not move forever, its an eternity, I can't explain the feeling fully, cause its not possible to feel it in this life, but it's the best feeling ever. Or you could go to the other place, it was dark there, and not a nice feeling. Like I say you have a free choice.

I think it is

Soul which is life is almost impossible to explain in itself, just like You cann't explain angels, similarly satan, who is from the jinns, daemons etc. The soul in itself cannot do anything until it is in a material body. All the souls of living things are already created by the Almighty Allah, some have seen their predestine era and some are to come. and as a layman example, the material body is just like a vehicle of/for a rider (soul). and this soul never dies, it will be brought back/put/pushed into the material bodies on the day of judgement and will be accounted for its deeds/mischieves..
