I've already rejected your near-death journal as not credible and not evidence that is up to my standards. Posting the same bloody link in a larger font just makes you look like an idiot, so cut it out.
As far as I am concerned, all of the so-called evidence for life after death is nothing more than a neurological phenomenon that only happens to the brains of living people. I believe that life after death is no more than a tale that people use to fight off the fear of becoming nonexistent and therefore non-significant -- ego panic and nothing more.
I believe that our fate at death is simply to lose consciousness and never awaken, and that "eternal life" consists of the molecules of our physical bodies being recycled into other forms. I'm fine with that. I'm not all that attached to being "myself," let alone being myself forever, and in fact it's a bit of a reach to say that I'm the same person I was 50 years ago, or even 10 years ago.
To me, the universe is beautiful because it is in constant change, not because it stays the same. I have no use for (and no desire for) life after death, none at all.
