    Okay i've been thinking about this one for a bit.

    On this premise, we are purely material beings our awareness is purely just a physical mainifestion when you die it stops and there is no soul or spirit or afterlife or transmigration you just die. BUT

    You do get to live again, with no recollection of previous lives, just like this one you are in now. Its just sometime in the future you are born as another lifeform and experience another life, just another material construct from natural stuff from the universe. like reincarnation with no soul no karma or anything, its not even an individual you, you just get born like you did in this life and die.

    i dont really know how to put it but try to understand what i typed.

    i think i got you. like everything that has ever lived and even everything that has ever been is all connected. kinda, we are parts of everyone that has ever lived and when we die we will always be here living on in organisms, objects, or even galactic gases. we are all one. i wish conciosness could live on though...

    "What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine,'" (Nietzsche The Gay Science, ยง341).

    it may be it's just the intention of you that carries on -and this for the sake of those you've loved . your most passionate thoughts in the last moments of death could be a powerful vibration . if heard , conciousness has carried on as intention through vibration .

    eternal life , i think , more literally refers to all of life going on and on . anhilliation of all life on earth would be the horrible nothingness of our concern . so our love in fact is what may keep it rolling .

    what about moving on to an existance so different from this place, that your memories and past experiences have no bearing and must be cast aside?

    what if our memories are really physical imprints in the brain and body and what we are casts them aside along with the body at the moment of death?

    maybe all that we carry with us are the memory-less impressions, the major impacts in our lives; the times when we really came to a cross-roads and had an equal likely-hood of going in either direction.

    who knows. if i start remembering where i was before i came here, i'll let you guys know. as it stands, my first memory of this life was an emergence from a dream, so i have a very shaky footing in this place.
