Well, my first post in this forum.

Anyway, I'm an atheist, but I simply refuse to believe that when this body fails, I cease to exist. I don't believe in any of the Christian faiths, it's subcultures, or any other religion that I know of.

I've just got this weird feeling that when the body fails, and if you're ready, you become something more. Almost like being reborn, but you're not human. Not even physical. You retain everything you've known in that physical life and start anew in a new existance, somewhere else out there. It's almost like you're on the road to becoming a supreme being, but you [just] started.

Ascension is the best way I can put it, does anyone else have insight or want to discuss?

That's pretty trippy.

there are several words for your ideology.

some call it bhuddism, i call it denial http://www.totse.com/bbs/wink.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/wink.gif)

no seriously, look up some bhuddist texts or something and see. or read the prologue of arthur c clarkes 3001. i always imagined death as sleepiong without dreaming.

Well, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it just changes form. So with that in mind, who's to say what form we will take after this?

I think you might enjoy reading I Am That (http://www.beasyouare.info/iamthat.pdf) (Right-click->Save Target As... it's 7.8megs)

You should really check out Spiritualism.
