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

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.
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?
