What do you really think/believe/feel happens to people after they die? I'm not asking what a particular faith, astrological sect, or scientific community thinks, but what you, personally, really think. Are you at all conflicted about it? I think the underpinnings of astrology rest on the idea that we all reincarnate until we reach enlightenment, but I know there are a lot of practitioners with other beliefs.
I don't know what I believe. It's not that I haven't considered it. I've considered this question ad nauseam and then left it alone when I found it unanswerable. I'm usually okay with that ambivalence, but I recently lost an old, close friend, someone I used to stay up all night talking to for hours, someone who really had a hand in shaping the person I am, someone who died far too soon, and I'm preoccupied now with where her spirit, if one actually exists separate from the body, has gone. I had the strangest sensation for about a week after her death that she was still around, checking in, being a bit bossy and nosy, honestly. And now I feel she has truly left...but to where I don't know. It's possible that what I've felt is real, and I could be in tune to her, but I'd just as easily believe that I wanted to experience her again, so I it was simply wishful/magical thinking as part of the grief process.
I doubt anyone could convince me to be certain, so I'm not really asking for that, but I'm curious about your musings and convictions.
If people could just share and not fight about religion, that would be swell.
