Aw, man :( ...and musings about death

onacruse

A "worldly" friend of mine, who I've know for over 20 years (he's a couple years older than me), had a heart attack yesterday. He's OK..."missed a bullet." He had an arthroplasty, and is out of ICU...doc says he'll probably feel better than he has for years.

But it got me to thinking, ya know...what difference does it make, what I think might happen after I die? I used to think that I'd either survive Armageddon, or be resurrected. And, fwiw, I still think something will happen with me "afterwards," but so what difference does it make what I think, or don't think???

Whatever will happen, will happen, and I'll find out when (and if) I get there.

Honestly, I really just don't worry about it.

None. Ask the dead.

When you fear death, you even loose the life you have have (not me, Cato talking). You can't change it, escape it .. millions have gone there already .. so why worry?

I don't fear death at all myself . I think living in this world full of lunatics wears on me more than death could ever hope to .

I just bought Sylvia Browne's new book about after life. She claims that of course there is an afterlife. Most of us, she says, go to "the other side" to be spirit beings and reunite with loved ones. Some, for whatever reason, can't make it over, and stay earthbound, they are ghosts. They do not actually know they are dead. They hopefully will eventually go to the "other side". The few, go to the Left door. Upon entering the Left door, they are instanly put back in a womb and reborn again on this earth, for another go. I guess that must be her version of hell. So why do they get to live again if they are not good persons? Also, it occurs to me that a large group of people already believe that is what happens to us anyhow, reincarnation.

Some of what she says makes a little sense, but mostly it sounds goofy.

Hi again Ona,

I don't think about death or worry about it too much. I suppose that if I had a terminal illness I would be more scared, scared of the unknown really. I think it would be nice if our bodies just turned instantly into powder once our loved ones said goodbye, you know, like in the sci-fi movies. I'd hate to wake up under ground or in an oven. Ouch.

I do believe there is a life beyond this though. I believe we are too, excuse me, wonderfully made for this to be all there is. We have such extraordinary love, especially for our mates, children & grandchildren and I don't believe that ability to love came from nowhere. I don't believe whoever gave us that ability to love would just waste it upon our deaths. I don't believe we would feel such profound and lasting pain when our loved ones die, especially our children, if there wasn't more to life than this. Why would losing people be so painful if it was natural and the end of them?

Some people believe death is the end of us. I think it's just easier for them to believe that than to have hope that they fear might be taken from them.

I don't usually think about this, but I have been lately as well. I've attended two funerals this week. One was on Tuesday for a coworker's father; the other was today for my uncle. To be honest, I don't have a clue what happens after we die. If we do come back, I just hope that I don't come back as a bug or a Witness.

Seriously, i would love to hear what everyone else has to say on the matter.

If you want to research something interesting go to google.com and type in Near Death Experiences or After Death Communications.... keep an open mind... very interesting.

What do I think about Death? ( OH where is your sting)? All I believe IS you better go through the DOOR!!!!I dont believe Hell is a fire!!! I believe it is a 'cutting off" from God. I think I was there when the WT DF me. I walked the streets feeling I had no one-nowhere to go , I cared enough about others to not kill myself- cos they would have to find me weather I jumped under the bus-or took an overdose( I thought of doing both)THEN!!!! when I found out what Jesus (the door) said.... I didnt have to work, he had paid any penalty-It was finished.!! All I had to do was to treat others as I wanted to be treated, to love everyone in Agape love, I would have life! more abundantly- which I have! BUT even though I have a good life. I want to go to that other place , call it heaven ,because I do believe the promise ( only based on what I have now after asking Jesus to Come & be MY saviour)I will have no pain, no tears, etc:etc: Sorry it is a long one- & if no one reads it. it was theraphy to write ((((DUCKING from the stones)))
