Is there life after death?

    ......life after death.
    As an 8 year old kid in Scotland,back in 1958,my grandmother who hailed from Lisburn,took me tae Ballyjamesduff.
    On the second day I was there a cousin who lived there asked me if I wanted tae go tae see The Dambusters,I said fine,no problem.
    Halfway through the film he took unwell and said he had tae go home and said would I be okay finding my way back tae where we were staying and I said I would be fine.
    Anyways,come the end of the film I started tae head to where we were staying,or at least I thought I did,there were four different ways out of the town and I chose the wrong way.
    Strange as it might seem,I wasn't in the slightest bit scared and each street I came tae,I knew it as if I had been there before,even before I turned a corner I knew what was ahead of me which was odd because I'd never been in Ireland in my life.
    Has anyone else ever encountered anything like it before?
    I recall seeing this woman on tv a couple of years ago which I found interesting and extraordinary.

    There was life for billions of years before we were here, and billions after, but we won't be here. Just the way it is, no point fretting about it

    I think in my past life I must of been a English teacher because youre use of "tae" instead of "to" makes me want to throw a Chalkboard Eraser at you're illiterate head.

    Vernacular.

    Onomatopoeia is when the word mimics the actual sound that it's describing.

    Splash, pitter-patter, gallop, crash etc.

    Hey, at least you get to be alive for a relatively tiny, minuscule fraction of time in the universe's existence to experience things like life and...................donuts!

    Your use of the word "tae" instead of to has made me way angrier than it should have!

    This might be the same case as the OP..

    You found the TV interesting and extraordinary, or you found the seeing of the woman interesting and extraordinary?

    I presume you didn't find the woman herself interesting and extraordinary, or you would have used 'who', rather than 'that'...





















    ... tae express your meaning.

    What makes a person or personality?
    Electric impulses make your brain work, your body is energy(especially if the boardies eat you, a distinct possibility...)

    Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted.

    So yes, I definitely think there's something afterwards but we'll never know in fairness.

    Could be that your past life was as the town drunk and you took the wrong turn looking for some tae to sober up.

    Anything is possible in an infinite universe.

    Who died and made a Nordie an English teacher?:P

    But yeah, you're right, had the ono thing in my head for some reason.

    Yet strangely you did not know anything well enough to avoid taking the wrong turn in the first place.

    But you were not without any experience at all. You did, after all, get from where you were staying on the first and second day.... to the film. And you would also have taken in some of the area getting TO that place you stayed in the first place too

    So getting from there BACK again is hardly a miracle is it?

    That said however many towns are built to a similar standard. When you know one you know much about others too. This can also lead one to very much feel like they have been somewhere before despite being sure they never were.

    So nah, not seeing anything particularly amazing about your experience here, let alone reasons to assume "Life after Death".
    Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted.

    I have never been entirely sure why this sentence always comes up in this subject. It's relevance here escapes me.

    You know the beautiful thing about death? There's not one swinging dick on planet earth who knows what happens. I find that reassuring, and a bit exciting. I'm not going to throw myself in front of the Luas anytime soon in order to find out, but when my time is up, I'll go with the belief that it isn't the end for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,160 ✭✭✭Huntergonzo


    I'd imagine after you die you have similar experiences to what you had before you were conceived.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I've wandered around many unknown places drunk and somehow found my way home.

    Life after death is an oxymoron, or a zombie. Either way it's not good.

    Giddy up high horse!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,430 ✭✭✭RustyNut


    The real question is, is there life before death in Ballyjamesduff :D

    Me too. Maybe our feet belonged to famous explorers in a previous life.
