But thats not what I believe.. Call me neo-platonist, but I believe the soul is immortal and after death we leave our training wheels (physical body) and move on to new things.

There is currantly scientific studies being carried out on near death experiences and testemonys of people who have been proclaimed clinically dead for a certain period of time. Some have actually described instruments that were used in brain surgury that would of only come out of their wrapping after the patient is considered dead.

There have been people who have been dead, then come out of a coma a week later and recognised a person who took their fake teeth out during their operation...

And plenty of other circumstances that would suggest life after death.

The main study behind this phenomina is whether or not the experiences people have occur during the period of being clinically dead, or whether they happen in the short periods of time before or after.

Common symptoms include the most well known, seeing a light at the end of a dark tunnel, experiencing extreme emotions such as love and pleasure etc, seeing people that are known to be passed away, having phycic experiences. etc.

Its not yet an exact science and real explenations for the phenomina have yet to surface.. But I dont believe we simply cease to exist after we die. But untill we ourselves die, I guess well never actually know.....
