Well I certainly never expected a thread like this on GFY. Very interesting comments. And I just added "Wakng Life" to my Netflix cue.
I don't have an answer to the question but I've always thought that a clue to life after death may be in our dreams. I've always wondered why we dream, why we need to go to sleep. Why would a god create beings that need to sleep? Wouldn't it be more efficient to keep us up all the time? What's the point, from an all-powerful creators perspective?
Maybe dreams are some kind of bridge to another existance? What if we're all in a dream right now and when we die we "wake up" to some other reality?
I also think that orgasms may hold a clue. Think of the absolute best orgasm you ever had... wasn't it like you left your body and went somewhere else for a moment?
Feelings like that, or the simple pleasure of the sun hitting your face on a warm day, or the taste of hot cocoa on a cold night... or the smile in your lovers eyes... can anything be better than that? Are we really in heaven right now but we don't realize it?
The idea of all this being tied to our brain is both scary and exciting because it implies that science will one day be able to keep brains active so we'd live forever, like those heads in the jars on Futurama.
