I am exploring bit of different concepts. but seems the seed of the soul travels through a judgement around saturn.
Edgar cayce and other mystical stuffs say we are stars, soul has a seed. meaning those bit more enlightened become seeds for stars.
I'm entertaining this concept that our soul has a seed, like a tree or an egg is a seed for something. Even though the seed is not the original form it becomes and has all the info to become the info it has inside itself. as your soul has a seed for life after death you are a seed for something else. Just entertaining the though while I keep exploring other cultural beliefs.
I also like what grant Morrison said at the disinfo conference speech about people being larve. in that speech.

This is the sort of question you should worry about when you're dead.

^ so why do people have kids and spend so much time raising them if they die and then their kids die? life is pointless, end the cycle?
- freedom0
^ so watch tv all day and wait to die?

its funny when you see people working out, brushing their teeth, taking vitamins, in the end none of it means anything. what difference does it make if you die at 20 or 90? the only thing it matters to are the people who know you that are still living. and theyll all be dead soon enough too. none of this means anything in the end.

despite what some religious nuts would say, we cease to exist, just as we were before birth. we revert to nothing.

Your brain will secrete DMT so you will feel euphoric so you don't fear your own death then you slip away and experience your true elf beyond the years of attachment to your body. Meditation is important to prepare yourself for that separation. It is never to late to prepare for a good death.

The moment of death is your consciousness fragments into all the multitudes of consciousnesses that comprises the living tissue that once was coordinated into the super organism that was you. You—all those consciousnesses, which are red blood cells, bone tissues, brian matter, etc.—all this consciousnesses which are less aware, have no common goal, so they go off on their own and eventually die, and break down into their proteins and atoms, etc.
The complex consciousness that was you becomes more consciousnesses that are stupider and care about smaller things, until those things break down as well until eventually it becomes non-life.
The singular entity that was you, however, with all your cares and importances, ceases to physically exist. Your legacy lives on as the causality of your actions echoing outwards in reality, but that too will fade.

haven't the foggiest. never happened to me. even people with near death experiences may have it wrong. our poor brains just aren't that good and give us so many illusions.

life goes on...but not for you.

You get thrown in an oven...or slowly devoured by worms. Either way...you're not likely to know about it. Your freak moment of consciousness will be over.
The void awaits us all.

How about this:
Everything goes black, and you go shooting past some clouds though an infinite ocean of space-time towards a distant light. The veil of material reality dissolves away and your soul enters the eternal dream realm of quantum consciousness. You become one with the universe and finally understand that heaven, reincarnation and eternal life are all real.
But then you die anyway, because you didn't follow the one true religion, which it turns out was Scientology.

Everything goes black.
Then you see some clouds, and a big curtain is drawn to reveal a big warehouse filled with everything you have ever encountered in your life.
Projected on the ceiling is a big screen that shows you info graphics answering any question you have abut the statistics of your life: amount of chocolate you've eaten, cubic cm of fart air expelled, money spent, number of times masturbated, etc.
You can rearrange all the things in the warehouse to reenact any scene in your life and change what happens to see how it could have been done differently, but that's it.

I think of it like this:
Millions of miles of raw space dust coalesces for a brief moment, to become star, to become planet, then single-celled and eventually complex, attaining consciousness, and thereby living a "life." The life eventually ends for most, due to entropy. The raw material that makes you "you" is then broken back down and absorbed into the planet from whence it came, and eventually, back into the star. The star inevitably dies and spews forth its evermore complex guts into space. The cool part is that the raw material, due to the laws of physics, will coalesce once again, later in time, to live another "life." This happens over and over, forever. The fact that the law of gravity or attraction or whatever exists, is super sweet and divine. At least until we figure out how to extract and harness the Higgs-boson. lol
Since the universe is infinite and possibilities are infinite, your exact consciousness (i.e. a certain combination of chemical/material reactions et al) will eventually repeat, verbatim. Many times it will not, which is also fun. Explains deja vu, past lives, reincarnation. The vast span of time between these lives matters not, as space dust is not conscious of the passing time, until its brief, conscious coalescence.
Thats my theory anyway. Came up with it while holding my breath in a swimming pool sometime around '00.
