Your life flashes before your eyes

This may not be just a saying, it might be real.

https://www.slashgear.com/777253/research-say-your-life-may-really-flash-before-your-eyes-as-you-die/

Not much is known about the experience of dying, and this incident provided data that offered a bit more insight into death. The researchers found that shortly before he died, the man's brainwave activity displayed patterns seen when someone is meditating, dreaming, or recalling memories.

It’s an age old question of what happens after we die? Do we have a soul that lives on in another dimension or on a different plane or are we just a collection of cells that fade into nothingness. The finding that brain patterns moments before and after the heart stopped and the person died resemble those of dreaming or meditation. Does this give credence to life after death? Or maybe it is just the brain’s last hurrah before shutting down into nothingness.

Although many people would like to know the ultimate answer, I’m not sure we would be capable to digest it. It would definitely have a major impact on all societies and cultures.

If we knew, for a fact about life (or lack of) after death, would people would act and behave differently?
Would societies act and behave differently, good or bad?
Would it change our prospective on religion, wars, and the value of life?

Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing. For me, I don’t think I want to know the answer ahead of time.

Geeze, I can hardly recall most of my life now! Will be worth the price of admission to remember some of it. Gonz

Had to be the pot I smoked as a teenager. Those brain cells may just be dazed, though, right?

For me the afterlife is the reward. Got to die to get there. Be ready.

I wouldn't call the afterlife a reward... but I'm looking at it more as the end of the journey, not a transition.

With you on this Bucky.

I don’t think we are meant to know, by design or happenstance. And that make it better in several ways.

You play your hand - not knowing what if anything, comes next.
But, if this is all there is, then the moments are so much more valuable.
And the mark you leave, all you will ever do.

With so much in a life, does it really matter if anything comes next?

seems to be very important to many religious philosophies...so much so that their religions advocate standards of behavior in this life so that entry into the afterlife can be earned...

because of the timing and imminence of death, seeing the highlights of one's life, good or bad is irrelevant...not much can be done at that point...I don't think a last movie will be a motivator for a lifetime behavior change

For me it doesn't matter. Even if the Christians are right (King James) and there really is this narcissistic being that demands that you bow to him or face eternal damnation...

Well, I imagine all the cool kids would be in hell and all the p*ssies would be in heaven.

So I'm not going to stress it.

Read a paper once that the church held so much power in the middle ages because an afterlife was the only thing peasants had to look forward to. Basically, death gave them something to live for
