I'm using the afterlife as a backdrop against which to explore the joys and complexities of being human - it turns out that it's a great lens with which to understand what matters to us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My view of the afterlife is that it's made of different levels, depending on how spiritual a life we live.
Seeing life from an eternal perspective helps us focus our limited mortal energies on the things that matter most.
I would like to believe in an afterlife; it makes things more palatable. But I'm not banking on it.
I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego, not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions.
Mortal experiences give us the opportunity to assess what we are doing with our lives.
Whether you reach a lot of people or have a profound impact on a few people, their memories of you are your afterlife.
In the lonely hours, I have spent a great deal of time thinking about eternal things. I have contemplated the comforting doctrines of eternal life.
The process of communication with the afterlife - more of an exchange than a conversation - has always fascinated me.
Afterlife, in my mind, is pretty much nothing. This is it. This is what we get, for me.
I have a traditional view of the afterlife... heaven, hell and judgments. But the accounts of those places are scant, and I believe it's on purpose. We aren't supposed to try to figure out the architecture of the afterlife, since the big game is here in this life.
