Is there life after death?

Hagar7

......life after death.
As an 8 year old kid in Scotland,back in 1958,my grandmother who hailed from Lisburn,took me tae Ballyjamesduff.
On the second day I was there a cousin who lived there asked me if I wanted tae go tae see The Dambusters,I said fine,no problem.
Halfway through the film he took unwell and said he had tae go home and said would I be okay finding my way back tae where we were staying and I said I would be fine.
Anyways,come the end of the film I started tae head to where we were staying,or at least I thought I did,there were four different ways out of the town and I chose the wrong way.
Strange as it might seem,I wasn't in the slightest bit scared and each street I came tae,I knew it as if I had been there before,even before I turned a corner I knew what was ahead of me which was odd because I'd never been in Ireland in my life.
Has anyone else ever encountered anything like it before?
I recall seeing this woman on tv a couple of years ago which I found interesting and extraordinary.

Amazing how you knew the streets but still took the wrong way home. Past life experience is complete and utter ****e!

There was life for billions of years before we were here, and billions after, but we won't be here. Just the way it is, no point fretting about it

I think in my past life I must of been a English teacher because youre use of "tae" instead of "to" makes me want to throw a Chalkboard Eraser at you're illiterate head.

It's comin'up

Vernacular.

Onomatopoeia is when the word mimics the actual sound that it's describing.

Splash, pitter-patter, gallop, crash etc.

Hey, at least you get to be alive for a relatively tiny, minuscule fraction of time in the universe's existence to experience things like life and...................donuts!

You found the TV interesting and extraordinary, or you found the seeing of the woman interesting and extraordinary?

I presume you didn't find the woman herself interesting and extraordinary, or you would have used 'who', rather than 'that'...





















... tae express your meaning.

What makes a person or personality?
Electric impulses make your brain work, your body is energy(especially if the boardies eat you, a distinct possibility...)

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted.

So yes, I definitely think there's something afterwards but we'll never know in fairness.

Could be that your past life was as the town drunk and you took the wrong turn looking for some tae to sober up.

Anything is possible in an infinite universe.

Who died and made a Nordie an English teacher?:P

But yeah, you're right, had the ono thing in my head for some reason.

Yet strangely you did not know anything well enough to avoid taking the wrong turn in the first place.

But you were not without any experience at all. You did, after all, get from where you were staying on the first and second day.... to the film. And you would also have taken in some of the area getting TO that place you stayed in the first place too

So getting from there BACK again is hardly a miracle is it?

That said however many towns are built to a similar standard. When you know one you know much about others too. This can also lead one to very much feel like they have been somewhere before despite being sure they never were.

So nah, not seeing anything particularly amazing about your experience here, let alone reasons to assume "Life after Death".

I have never been entirely sure why this sentence always comes up in this subject. It's relevance here escapes me.

You know the beautiful thing about death? There's not one swinging dick on planet earth who knows what happens. I find that reassuring, and a bit exciting. I'm not going to throw myself in front of the Luas anytime soon in order to find out, but when my time is up, I'll go with the belief that it isn't the end for me.

Huntergonzo

I'd imagine after you die you have similar experiences to what you had before you were conceived.

ScumLord

I've wandered around many unknown places drunk and somehow found my way home.

Life after death is an oxymoron, or a zombie. Either way it's not good.

The real question is, is there life before death in Ballyjamesduff

Me too. Maybe our feet belonged to famous explorers in a previous life.

Maybe you got one foot and I got the other, that's why we get lost in the first place.

Well, life after death, the soul and all that ****, it's all energy right? Hence why it tends to come up, if there's any scientific basis for life after death, some forms of consciousness after the body gives out, I'd wager that'll have something to do with, none of this God bollox.

Kind of hard considering she's brown bread, which leads me back to tae....ah, a nice cup of tae and homemade brown bread.

Now on D'other hand if the OP is correct my Ma is probably making brown bread somewhere in India as we speak.

On the way into,(I'd better say into instead of intae,there's a strange lot on this thread) town,we came by bus,I was too busy chatting to be bothered about which direction we came in.
The first day I was sleeping on the bus after a long journey from Glasgow to Belfast on the boat.
I hope you find this explanation satisfactory,I doubt if the Spanish Inquisition was any harder......don't mention the Inquisition.!!!

Irrelevant. You made the trip around the town _at least_ twice. Once to get there in the first place. And once on the way to the cinema or wherever it was. Busy or not, you would be very surprised how much the mind takes in about it's surroundings. Even when asleep on bus journeys you are not actually asleep the whole time, you wake up periodically and look around. Whether you realize it or not. And on top of all that, as I said, there is a pattern and structure to how many places are built so when you have been in 2 or 3 towns, you can have the basic parameters to muddle your way through other towns too.

Hagar7 wrote: »

Not really for the reason I explain above. But even then still not really. See the MAIN problem I have with claims about things like reincarnation is that they invariably always take the same form. That is basically someone has information of some sort in their brain.... and they do not know how it got there.

Sometimes it is a story like yours where you seemed to know your surroundings but were not sure how. Sometimes it is some story about an 8 year old child who has some basic proficiency in a language no one is sure how she learned. But the format is ALWAYS the same "Person X knows Data Y and we do not know how".

And people LEAP from that to "Therefore reincarnation". Basically that are saying "Because we can not explain it.... we CAN explain it!" and that is a nonsense. We had a user around here peddling that nonsense quite heavily sometime last year. Eventually I asked him to offer his BEST example of reincarnation and what he came up with was so embarrassingly bad, and I tore it to shreds, that a few days later he simply closed his account and left the forum.

Bunkum Mr Watson,when you are 8 years old the brain doesn't take in as much as a 1 year old does,another point,explain to me how a 4 year old child can live in France,never out of the country and his mum n dad take him to the local flea pit market where he then informs his parents he'd been there before,he also knew all the streets and what was there before and then described places only historians knew about.
How can you explain a young 5 year old boy in Arizona who can speak 6 different languages despite never learning them in his short life.
