An afterlife is based on what you did in your previous life. If you did a lot of good, then you could be reincarnated as a human, with no memory of your past life. Life is an ongoing cycle. At least. that's what I believe. :D
i believe that there are two kingdoms, heaven and hell, and that heaven is governed mainly by yhwh (christian god) but is divided into cities (valhalla, nirvana, etc.) that are in turn governed by other chief gods which one may traverse freely in heaven. hell is the same, but for the more, ahem, 'demonic' gods (and i DON'T use that term loosely). we live on purgatory (yeah, i know, lots of christian terms for a pagan, right?) and our souls are subject to reincarnation until enlightenment, into different beings or even different dimensions sometimes, based on actions in the current life, and that after a truce is made after the final war, both kingdoms will be freely traversed. sorry for the rant, but this is my belief of the afterlife.
Try to live in the moment. Don't deny a ride, just because it's with a stranger. Don't plan for tomorrow, live today. Don't have expectations, there impossible to meet.
In hign sight, i try no to think about death. I believe i WILL die, and what happen's after is anybody's game.
I think if you have lived a good life without doing anything extremely bad then you have a personal afterlife that suits you or get reincarnated if that's what you want. But if you haven't lived a good life you just cease to exist
I belive that we are in a sort of dream and when we die, we wake up. If you think about it, how do you wake up when your in a dream? You die. And your brain is extremely powerful and complex so it probaly could generate an entire fake life for you. In my dreams I can use all of my senses so the pinching thing doesn't really work, lol. I really have no way of proving if this is a dream or not but when I die I'll be interested in what happens.
I believe that I am living in my own world, that all people, places, things, in short everything is just created by my mind. And I also believe that death is just created by my mind,life also, i think, is created by the mind...
I thought about it when i realized how many things are revolving around me...
I believe that there is a sort of Heaven and Hell, but it's quite different from the Christian myth (yes I called it that). To me, Heaven is the only afterlife, Hell is a personal creation brought about by our inner darkness. For instance, I believe people "go to Hell" not because they have been sentenced to it, but because the idea of a perfect world where there is no pain and suffering and everyone gets along sickens them (that's how evil they are).
