Is death the end of the road or the beginning of a new life? Auto-translated

OptiMAL
There is God and the Devil, there is Gesser and Zavulon, there is Light and Darkness, there is Death and Life, there is Good and Evil...:smile24:

And there is also the Day Watch and the Night Watch)) I'm working there right now)):D In the Night Watch....

I believe that the body is mortal, not the soul (I believe in its existence, and I would also like to believe that everything has its own purpose, apart from procreation), and after death, the soul is reborn in a new body. It can be an animal, a plant, or a human (and humans are also animals, but many consider them the king of nature and so on, and they give them a separate place, after God, if they believe in Him)...

They also say that animals don't have an immortal soul, only invisible bodies.

I support OptiMal and also believe that our souls have lived, are living, and will continue to live!...
I sometimes experience something like déjà vu, but it's not quite the same... for example:
"I'm sitting, watching TV (BBC about the people of Papua), and a guy is walking with a camera along a path. A little further ahead, there's a bend in the path, and he hasn't reached it yet, but I suddenly have a feeling that I know what's there (there was a large tree with a snake's skull carved into it and various inscriptions)...."
The most interesting thing is that this feeling lasted for only a second, but I saw so much."
So, it's possible that in one of my past lives, I was a Papua New Guinean... :)

I would also like to believe that after death, the soul will enter another body and a new life will begin... but the thought that after death you might end up nowhere, knowing that you exist but in a void, and knowing that you will never see the sun, the sky, or people again – is frightening...

You might find this funny, but! I've always thought that after physical death, a person goes wherever they want to go. That is, if they no longer want to live (in the sense that their soul no longer wants to) in a particular world, they go into oblivion (it somehow turned out to be similar to Woland's speech... :D). And if they want to be in peace, they go there, to a world where nothing and no one will disturb them. Well, and if they want to go to another world, then that's where they go. :) Maybe it's nonsense, but that's my opinion.

The Ataman is right. When a person dies, they don't reincarnate anywhere. After all, people only die of old age at 70-80 years old! Accordingly, you have already had the opportunity to do everything you wanted in your life... Maybe this is nonsense...
P.S. I find Lelina's version more appealing...

A person leaves, then comes back, then leaves again... and so on, in a circle, but the most interesting thing is that this circle can be broken, but it's unclear what the meaning of that would be. Positive and negative actions accumulate over many lifetimes, but the catch is that the person doesn't know what leads to positive or negative outcomes, which is why they wander from one life to another, often with their lives remaining practically unchanged. It's like in one episode (about a police officer) of the movie "The House That Swift Built."

I believe that death as such does not exist. And neither does heaven nor hell. As long as there is a memory of a person, they will live on. Once they are forgotten, they will disappear, as if they never existed.

I believe in reincarnation... I believe in Hell and Heaven... I believe in God and the Devil, and I think that death is a continuation of life...

Some people believe in the soul, reincarnation, and so on. Others don't. I belong to the group that doesn't believe, but I'm closer to the middle (uncertainty). I don't dismiss claims (that I can't explain myself or that someone else makes) as untrue. However, I've often come across mentions of the following observation: during death, dying people were weighed, and it turned out that the body was 21 grams lighter after death than before, and this doesn't even depend on the person's weight. But, of course, I would like death not to be the end.

I've been sticking to my own interpretation for several years now. I figured it out myself. And only later did I read the book; I didn't like it, and Verber has other, better books.

I, on the contrary, would like death to be the end! Otherwise, it turns into some kind of slavery, and there's no escaping it. Those who dream of immortality clearly don't realize what a torment it would be!

I believe that every person deserves to receive the afterlife they believed in (I agree with Leley), but if a person believes in Heaven and Hell and believes that despite their sins, they will end up in Heaven, then they will end up in Hell because, on a subconscious level, they know they are not worthy of Heaven. In many religions, after death, a person judges themselves. A similar situation is described in the film "Kingdom of Heaven," where the main character says: "Up there, there will be no bosses or commanders, and there will be no one to give you orders." After death, a person judges themselves very harshly, and the soul is drawn to the pole it aligns with, and that is where it will end up. I believe that life after death begins; I also believe in moving to another world after death, but I do

We should live this life with dignity... and death is just a matter of time.
