i heard somewhere of a theory in which stated that when we die a certain energy is still present?

Scientifically speaking - Energy is conserved - it can't be made and it can't be destroyed - so technically energy is exchanged.  Like when you put you're cold hands on a hot cup of hot chocolate - the Heat from the cup is transferred to your hands - in a roundabout way.\n\nHowever - Religiously speaking - that last bit of energy conserved within the body could be also known as ur Soul - and that is the last thing that is present before the outer aspect of the body is discarded.

Yes I believe in life after death, I also think reincarnation might exist.  I have seen ghosts.

Linmar--i want to propose MY personal theory, which cannot be scientifically proven in any publication to date.  I had a vision one evening after watching a show about spontaneous combustion victims.  One victim was a middle-aged man with a stump for an arm.  He described the event as a mild tingling with no pain, and much to his dismay, his hand and most of his forearm turned to ash.  \n\nUsing his experience, this isn't about fat burning, or too much oxygen, or even about oxidation as we know it.  The material in our bodies has stored chemical potential energy.  We have internal heat generation which keeps our bodies warm.  It is like a clock spring slowly unwinding.\n\nNOW, if you sped up this clock, relative to normal time-space, your energy would dissipate so rapidly, that the object WOULD turn to ash due to the release of heat.  If a human arm dissipates 10 watts every second for the lifetime of the arm, say 70 years, that equals 22*10^9 joules.  THAT"S A LOT OF ENERGY.  Now for instance, if for some reason a time-space continuum intersected with the man, if his arm actually was accidentally inserted into another dimension whose time constant was 100 times our speed, his arm simply aged and died.  All the energy that would have unwound in this time space over the course of 70 years, unwound in minutes or seconds.  If there are time-space defects and other dimensions, it makes sense that entropy may not unwind at the same pace in all spaces.  \n\nIt reminds me that the earth is travelling at thousands of miles per hour through space.  We have no perception of this at all.  But put a cosmic bed post by the earth, and have an impact, BAM!! Bye-bye earth.  I think it is the same thing.  For some unlucky reason, I beleive this particular man had an interdimensional event wherein the potential energy in his arm dissipated very quickly in that other dimension.  \n\nFood for thought--tell me whatchya think.

Life after death is like Newtons 3rd law. \n\nHow?\nNewtons 3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.\nLike that what you did while you alive will be the life(effects) after death.\nAm i right. enjoy

I believe that we are. I have talked to several people who had near death experiences and all of them  told me that they seen their dead loved ones in a bright light. They told me when trying to walk into the light, their love ones told them it wasn't their time, and they woke up inside their own body again.

I think life goes on for the rest of the Universe.  \n\nI think our consciousness, our individuality, our personality is extinguished forever when we die.  It's a timebound thing, not meant to last forever.  But the single most important thing about us is not our individual selfhood, it's our being part of the Big Picture.  I am a "child of Earth and starry Heaven," a being of the Universe, and I will always be part of the Big Picture, even after I have long since ceased as an individual.  So while I will disappear, I am part of something that goes on forever, and I am connected through that greater Something to all the rest of you and everyone and everything that has ever or will ever be.  And that's all the immortality, in my humble and personal opinion, that I want or need.\n\nTwo waves in the sea were talking as they were moving toward the shore.  One wave was frightened and upset, and the other was calm.  The worried wave kept saying, "Can't you see those rocks up ahead?  Every wave that gets to those rocks is dashed to pieces and broken!  Aren't you afraid of that happening to you?"  The other wave replied, "You aren't a wave.  You're part of the ocean."

I don't think so. I believe that on the other side we exsist as only energy. Though we may appear to ahve a body to ourselves.

I believe so, judging from the way in nature all things are recycled, I'd have to say even if you were atheist, you'd have to believe in SOME form of reincarnation, after you die you become food for other lifeforms who in turn become food  for other lifeforms, if you define a soul as "life energy" then your life energy has "incarnated" itself in just about every form of life known to man.

Like so many different energies in the world, there also exist a 'living energy'. This energy circulates in us till we die. Research is still far behind, there must be many more energies that we presently don't  know. ..good energy ....bad energy..which might be associating with living energy , making us to good or bad deeds.

I don't know for sure.  (obviously)   :)\nBut, I'd guess that the body is no longer of any use. \n\nThe spirit returns to the source that it came from.   A Higher Power or energy source or whatever you would choose to call the creator of all things.   \n\nI don't see any reason to assume that any of us, can really know for sure what happens.....but that's my current opinion.

We'll still exist.  We just won't be in any fit state to notice.  I know that when I die the rest of the world, along with my corpse, will continue to exist and function.  But my consciousness will no longer exist, because there will be no blood or oxygen getting to my brain to allow it to do so.

Well I do believe it is possible, but it is not wise to do so.  In my belief to "bother" the dead is not something you do.  When you die there is a long time before you understand what happened.  One should not bother someone who is newly dead.\nNow there are spirits that don't want to go away from this plane.  They will move on if no one messes with them, because they will use up there energy and will have to pass.  They will try to make deals for "life force".  Don't mess with them.  Some mediums give them some of their life force to be able to see.  Not good.

I don't follow  a book.  I believe the energy or essence of the soul lives on.  Simply stated, think of a door.  It opens; you leave one room and enter another.  Levels, planes, rooms, whatever word you want to use.  Some have had a glimpse of other levels.  They know by their experiences what exists beyond this small world we perceive.

That is the ultimate question that all religions and science is trying to answer.  Unfortunately, that is something you must research and decide for yourself.  A scientist might tell you that the energy your body creates is consumed by itself in movement and bodily functions.  When one dies, the body ends producing large amounts of kinetic energy, it becomes potential energy, which waits until something else uses it.\n\nWhen you talk about spirit, you're talking about religion.  The fact is that no one knows for sure -- you have to decide that for yourself with the god you seek out.

Perpetual would be akin to infinite motion, which would relate to the universe have an infinite characteristic, which would mean energy is infinite, and since energy is always in motion, it could be called perpetually in motion.

Considering the fact that the Bible tells us that we ARE souls, and not that we HAVE them, once you die, the soul dies. There is no other part within you that goes off somewhere at death.

Yay, a question directed towards my beliefs! I don't have a concrete belief about why we are alive....but I think its because we want to be, and because we want to learn. Most humans seem to crave knowledge and what better way to gain it than by living? As to the after life I believe in a place called Summerland which is where spirits wait to be reincarnated.
