I'm sensing a trend in your questions.

Ppl try to sugarcoat it, but dying is so bad you can't really explain it..... all your worst psychological fears that you repressed, your brain makes them come alive all at once. It is beyond cruel and gruesome. And then after that, you are totally annihilated. There is no heaven or God or jesus.... you completely cease to exist and it is the worst and most horrible thing imaginable.

If there is nothing, then there won't be any disappointment either. It would take consciousness to experience disappointment.

Nobody knows.

People have been clinically dead and they had an experience but they weren't permanently dead, so the truth is that nobody knows.

People think they know because they have beliefs and anecdotal evidence.

I am still trying to figure out what it feels like to be alive.

It looks like half of the philosophy forum is filled with threads about death and dying. Are there so many scaredy-cats out these who cannot accept a simple fact of human existence: that this existence must have an end? And who have nothing else to do than sit around and wonder about that.

Folks, just go outside already. There is too much beauty in life to think about death.

Asking and wondering doesn't infer they're crippled with fear and not living life.

Plenty of books written on experiences during a code before resuscitation. I've known two people personally; one wrote a book back when it became a hot selling topic; not sure I believe his story. The other I believe; the topic came up after my grand-daughters mothers sudden death and concerned the process of dying had been a horrid experience.

That really extra taste which an alive men can not get anymore. If the person works better and works for the welfare of mankind he/she will get best place according to the myth. On the other hand if he/she does not do good then will suffer. But for sure that every men and women must take the taste of death.

Well, you could read online Anthony Borgia's "Life in the Unseen World"...Father Robert Bensen, on the Other Side, communicates to his medium friend Anthony...
about even leaving from his death bed, his old buddy, another Epis. priest greeting him as his guide...
he covers every detail.

Then, further , "More About Life in the World Unseen". This is where he finally addresses the falsehoods taught by churches.

Here: the pdfs
http://www.thegreatquestion.com/book...RLD_UNSEEN.pdf

and
http://www.ghostcircle.com/wp-conten...rld-Unseen.pdf

Also, medium/ psychic Chico Xavier who passed around 2008?...
Anyway, a movie was made from his books, on Netflix...
"The Astral City: A Spiritual Journey"

Then, you have this famous NDE ...now, he came back so he only got a glimpse...

Mellen-Thomas Benedict's Near-Death Experience

There is also a good book "The World Beyond" by Ruth Montgomery...but
not really... her medium friend, the then famous medium, Arthur Ford, that passed over pretty much wrote it through her...automatic writing at her typewriter.

in the early 70s?
