Well, I also don't understand and sare the Judaism idea of life after death. And this cemetery looks also very strange for me.
As for me, I prefer the idea of reincarnation. But the most interesting burying place I ever seen is the tomb of Leo Tolstoy (russian writer) not far from Tula. It is just a hillok without any headstones, coverd by grass, surrounded by flowers, amongst a big park with nice old trees arown it. Very cosy place, if the word "cosy" is apropriate for such places :).

Yes, it's lovely! I wish to be buried in a place like this.

Me belief is that souls reincarnate.

And this belief has some support in practices of our qigong school because we have a method to reach the state which is usually called "near death experience".

One's skull cracks on the top of the head, in a place which is called "Anterior fontanelle"

And the soul goes out :)

Such practice also exists in buddhist shools where it is called "phowa".

A spot called "Posterior fontanelle" which is closer to the back of the head is also very important because here the most powerful energy of the Universe, energy of creation, goes from some unknown place to the spine.

And you can know ahead of time in what form you will be reincarnated, or this is left to chance?

[qi_tronic]

Normally it happens according to your karma but it is said that a good practitioner can choose a place where to go (or go out of the reincarnation cycle).

Nothing will happen. It's already happened in the moment of death.

We just rot in our graves? It's a depressing thought, but the most plausible.

Not rot but turn from fire to earth. The transition of elements.

The song tells it all to you what you desired to hear :)

Heard of Johnny Hallyday? He was a French superstar - a differemt slant:

I don't know this French singer, but in general I don't like this language. So, I don't want to listen to someone singing in it. :)

Only some field of information is possible for my, where goes some information about me. Just couple waves or something like that. To think about anything other is too selfish towards future generations. We had our chance - life, so it was up to us how to use it. Just once.
And I want to pass my body after death for scientific research. Or cremation and scatter my ashes over the sea

How does it work in the UK? In America, you indicate on your driver's license if you wish to be an organ donor. I'm registered as one. To think that my organs could possibly save another person's life - there's great comfort and peace in that. And why do I need them when I'm dead? :)

[notabler]

We all are always carrying Donor's card (who wants). I always have it in my purse with all other documents, next to driving licence.

>What do you think happens after our last breath on Earth?
Life will continue without us, obviously :)

[peacetraveler22]

Sometimes simple answers are the best! Life will continue without us - this is a given. :)
