I don't know what's gonna happen, I like it that way. From a logical sense the Buddhist idea of reincarnation makes the most sense but I won't know till that day comes so might aswell live it out 100% 'til then

I'm with Tcell on this one. But I do think most of us are, to some degree, scared about it. 'Will there be pain?' and if you are religious, 'Will I make it through the divine cull?'

During my religious period, I worried I'd be bored in heaven, stuck with all the dull people.

But I have no fear that 'memories, your experiences, your emotion, your personality, who you actually are vanishes'. A relative of mine has Alzheimer's and this has already happened to her. So the fear of that happening (during my LIFE) is much more scary than if it happens afterwards, which I believe, is inevitable.

I'm pretty certain that your thermal energy disapates, and your cellular structure no longer has the metabolism to rebuild its self, and you decompose.

I agree with Minoru Nakamura. when one understands the basic oneness of the universe, one sees that they will not disappear when they die, just as they did not spontaneously arrive on this earth when they were born. they will continue to exist just as they always have, right back to the big bang or creation or whatever. just see yourself as a wave on the ocean of life. this does alot to remove the anxiety of death. heaven and hell are merely social constructs, which were created to regulate individuals within society and to convince people of a divine justice.

All what is human in me will vanishes, body, mind, all memories, personality, etc. but, as I am only a part of all the Unity, there will be inmesurable parts of that Unity being to existence in different levels of concious. This is not a reencarnation. It is that I am only one of the multiple faces of God. As may be any other forms of existence.
