Death - what happens after?
I cannot imagine what it would be like to "live" in eternal "blackness" and darkness if you understand what I'm trying to say. At first I did think that when we do die, it's sort of like when we sleep, we aren't conscious of it, but what we see is black, however, that just can't go on forever, because there will have to be an end sometime. I then realised this cannot be the solution, something must have to happen.
This brings me onto religion - heaven and hell, I personally don't believe in hell, so lets just use heaven as an example - when you die, you remain yourself and live in the world of your dreams for eternity - really? I respect other people's religions but that honestly just sounds like a load of bullshit to me, the outcome has to be something more logical.
This brought me to re-incarnation, something more rational that I can really see happening, although, I don't believe in the religious belief that if you behave in a past life, you will be re-incarneted into something good like a human, if the theory is in fact correct, it would most likely be random!
The theory I have brought myself to believe in the, most strangely enough is that we live in a time loop, I believe that once we die, we literally return back to the time we were in our mother's wombs and we live our lives again, in the same year, same time, and that everything that happens to us now, has probably happened before, but obviously we cannot remember it. For some reason it seems like a very rational explanation, although we will never know, which is why the subject is a very popular debate topic.
Please quote me with your own views and theories, it is very interesting once you think about it logically for a while.

I'm confused as to how you find that "rational". Could you please elaborate?
