When I was growing up I always just figured that Heaven was what happened after we died, no question about it. But I've started to question it. I don't want to question it. I want to have faith and live my life knowing I'll be spending eternity in bliss. But I can't help but let my mind wonder. I think my biggest fear is that everything is meaningless, and that we love our lives and death is quite literally nothing. We just "float" through darkness for eternity. Personally, I can't help but remind myself that the only reason why we are here is to participate in a higher experience, and that our lives have to mean something and so we wouldn't just "disappear". I tell myself there has to be something worthwhile after death, whether moving on to another life/heaven/some higher level of life. I always find myself thinking about the possibilities. And then I try to keep myself from those thoughts because they scare me and I don't want to live in fear of death. I just have to accept it. I know everyone dies. Everything ends. But that's scary to me. Often I'll just let in the bed and the thought of nothing after death overwhelms every one of my senses. I feel like there has to be something after death, but at the same time I can't help but let that wondering fear cover everything else. Any thoughts on this matter??

Hello gallifreystars: The Skeezyks accepts the explanation for the existence of life on earth that is provided by the theory of evolution... as well as all that logically follows therefrom...

First: FABULOUS username!! Love it!

Second: I think everyone fears death. I think that's just what happens, because it is a huge unknown. Even people who identify as religious, or spiritual fear death to some degree. I think it's normal. It only becomes an issue if it spills over into the rest of your life.

Have you found the Spirituality forum here? Maybe something to talk about? People can't get overly religious or anything, but talking about life after death is probably something people can relate to.

Do you have a therapist, someone to talk to?

Questioning things isn't bad. It's scary as hell at times, but it isn't bad. It just means you're up for having an area of growth and development, of figuring something new out about what you believe (and what you don't).

Well if you think all time at death you will get upset negative and depresed and anxious .
Try to enjoy life because its miraculous but we cannot see .In my opinion its that we never die ,it dies our body but soul remain .I think after death you will born in a new child but you will not remembr anything .Maybe you live many lives before this life .
