      Why does there have to be anything after water evaporates? Why is there something after rock is pulverized? Nothing disappears from the physical world. It simply changes form. Why would other levels of existence not work within the same parameters as what we know on the physical level? We don't know enough to make educated guesses yet. I believe we are making headway on answering that.

         The soul energy or spiritual  make  me very curious, where dose the spirit move one and why dose it leave an empty vessel of matter, for plant food i assume. Everything is constantly living and dying within  our bodies and similar out in the Galaxies and Universe.
         
         Why can't our energy just transform into something else?

            There is no evidence for a soul or a spirit so any talk about that would be speculation based on a hypothesis and that doesnt get anyone anywhere.
            
            As for our energy transforming into something else, every living being actually uses energy, it doesnt create it. The only energy our body will have left once it dies, is stored energy in our mass, which other lifeforms will utilise by eating it.
            
            Life actually speeds up the process of entropy within the universe.

            I'm in agreement. It seems to me that the patterns  we see within nature on the physical level would have to be something of a mirror image of the spiritual level. Moving, changing, circulating. Nothing disappears completely. Whatever force it is that animates matter must continue to exist  in some form once it ceases to function in harmony with our senses.

            Also agree with many opinions presented re re-incarnation. Myself born in a very happy, contented religous home and I believe this also agrees with most religious people across our earth. Trying to make sense of people not so lucky in birth & childhood it might be my wishful thinking on my own part - everybody getting a fair chance through at least several/many chances of re-incarnation. What would other possibilities be? Have a GREAT 2012 all!

            No, not exactly. What I am pointing out is that there is a cyclical nature to things within the environment.  I would think you might have understood that point.
            
            
            Again, this is not a difficult point to follow. This is to point out that things may change form, but they remain in some form.
            
            
            I knew that already, but thanks for weighing in, just the same.

            Yes, we do understand the physical world to some degree and we have a pretty good handle on what happens to our physical form after death. You bring this up.....why? Exactly?  I don't think my comments implied that we don't understand decomposition.

               And for some odd reason you seem to think it applies to everything human?
               Yes, the human body does transform to dust/ash/dirt or whatever. Which would mean there's nothing after death. Unless you're attempting to imply that "consciousness" is transformed, which would be untrue according to what is already known. At brain death, consciousness ceases. It does not elevate to a new level or transform into something else. It is derived from the brain itself and it's function. When that function stops so does consciousness.
               You mean nonsense would make sense? I think not.

                  Yes, I know this.  As you said, 'what is already known'. I hope you aren't attempting to imply everything is known concerning consciouness.

                     You know exactly what dirt/ash/dust means in the physical world. It means life is over with unless you're implying otherwise, which it appears you are.
                     We know enough about it and can even measure it. It's your implication that it transforms like everything else you're attempting to apply to humans.
                     
                     No. The cause of consciousness is known and it's known when it ends. Which you are implying it doesn't.

                        As to the  body to  ashes comments. That is exactly my point. Everything that once made up the body continues to be a part of the universe. Simply in a different form. You see it as an end to the body and you are right, but it isn't an end to each and everything that was bound together to make that body.
                        
                        I really don't want to be at odds. I know you see death as the end. It is possible that you are right, but it is possible that you are wrong. I enjoy imagining how it could work if it is possible.

      I have no problem with grasping the existence of the Universe without myself or anyone else in it. So why do you?
      What is the "something" you're referring to?
      Are you listening to mystics who are telling you life duplicates over and over, and it never stops? I guess that would be why you would think that there's something after death. Yet, you cannot imagine death itself? How ironic is that?
      But, you've not answered my question- why does there have to be anything after death?
      
      Like I said above, if you're listening to mystics, that would be a shame. Mysticism is a person being intellectually dishonest with themselves. Therefore, if you're not going to be honest with yourself, how can I expect you to be honest with me, when we interact? I guess, I cannot. That too is a shame.

         Cags sounds almost nihilistic.

         Why does there have to be anything after pepperoni pizza? But there is! So?
         
         Just because you can't remember, Cags, doesn't make you an expert. There have been many people who could remember prior lives.
         
         Like one little boy in India who was distraught at age 5 because he had not told his wife before he had died where he had buried the family fortune. When he finally rectified the situation, he could concentrate on his new life.
         
         Or like the girl who remembered the house she used to live in, could describe all of its contents, the tree that used to be there, the pet names she had had for her former brothers, and much more.
         
         Or like the little boy who remembered his death near Iwo Jima as a WWII pilot. He even recognized and called by name one of his old buddies when the little boy was reunited with his old gang a few years ago.

If you don't have a problem imagining yourself removed from the universe than please share, It's a shame you attempt to reverse the question so that you avoid answering it.  but nice try.

   @janesix, I agree, yet it is a gift and sometimes a curse just to be human beings, gratitude is always important. Death must be significant if life is this demanding.

   All I can say is when I was dead for 75 mins... I was somewhere, and it wasn't in a new body.
   
   And I doubt I would have went to a new one, either.
   
   No, I think I was where we all will be, or many, or mast, hopefully.
   
   No reincarnation.

         No I wouldn't.
         
         There is a women in one of the scandanavian countries who was dead for hours, about 9 I believe, and she is fine today. There are many who haved survived extended time and been brought back. Of course I was already at the hosp when I coded and that was a great thing.
         
         Medicine has advanced quite a bit, especially the use of Hypothermic Rescucatative Tharepies.
         
         You should really go look into it.
         
         I was brought into North Florinda in gainsville, I coded at 403 am, I under went extrmem measure, about 100 cardio version shocks over the time, massive amounts of hperin, Epi-nuerine? I believe it was, atrapine, etc... I had no heart rate, no brain activity, no respertory, nothing!... I was gone... DEAD!
         
         Meanwhile I had almost continuous CPR and oxygen forced into me.... and on and on it went...   and on and on....
         
         There was one time when I believe I was back for a second... but then gone again... and the doctors said they did not get me back... so...
         
         on and on and on... it went
         
         At 524 am I was got back and stabilized barely enough to move.
         
         After some time I was brought to the cath lab and unederwent removal of massive clots in my right ventricle... they had finally got me back and could take me oin to do something to help me.
         
         So you can think what you want Cags.
         
         I know what i went thru and I have a stack of med records to prove it.
         
         Man you are something else.
