Would you?
I don't think I could, it would be fine and dandy if there was some sort of afterlife but what if you found out there was nothing? It would be terrifying to know for certain that there's nothing. Ignorance is bliss I think in this case. |

I've always wanted to know what happens, it's one of lifes big mysteries, so I'd be tempted for sure but I don't know if I'd be able to go through with it.

Don't want to know and hope nothing does.

I have to say I absoloutely do not understand the fear of there being nothing. You won't know there's nothing because you won't be there to experience it, for one.
Nothingness sounds far more secure than the the threat of a something that could be as bad as it could be good. It's like russian routelle with your mind. I'd hate to have my ego suspended in some strange dimensional loop that's all disorientating and scary and everlasting. |

There is an afterlife, I know that for a fact.
Is there a heaven? From what I've seen, No. Is there a hell? Well if there's no Heaven, There's no Hell. Is there a God? Probably not. But there is an afterlife, I just need to find out more about it. And I will next year.

No one knows either way Patrick and anyone that does can't exactly talk about it.

People who have near death experiences tend to claim there is some sort of afterlife though.

Yeah, don't really buy the whole "near death experience" crap. Cos it's still only peoples perceptions. If we go to an "afterlife" then so does every other living thing. Humans think they're something special.

Yes I would like to know. In a way I'd prefer it if I found out there was nothing, it means I could just take a more carefree approach to life. I'd rather that than learning there is a strict way that you have to live your life in order to have any chance of reaching "heaven", and that there was a very real chance of eternal damnation in Hell. The whole concept of immortality is scarier to me than nothingness is

I imagine Christians tend to see Jesus a lot during these experiences. I also imagine Muslims tend to see Allah a lot during these experiences. Never doubt your brains ability to go nuts and give itself delusions based on pre existing information and beliefs. Although I am interested in the role of Dimethyltryptamine being released from the pineal gland during near death experiences as people who have taken it on a recreational basis have all descibed fairly similar, transcendent experiences involving the ego moving to another world coupled with the pineal glands mythological position as being the minds eye. Fascinating thing, that pineal gland. Everyone should look it up. It's jazzy. Yes, that's right, we all have a psychedelic drug floating around in our brains. It's everywhere in the ecosystem.

No, I don't think there is anything waiting for us after life, so it wouldn't tempt me wanting to know for sure.

To be honest, we could know everything we could know about science, but theres still that lingering question - Why? Why does existance exist? We don't really know anything and we never will

We've had this conversation before, I think 2012 is complete rubbish.
