Question is. If you are reborn, will you be legit in the next life?haha

accordingly the quantum mechanics, every choice we make is like a roll of a dice. The choice you make is what you "rolled". However, based on quantum mechanics, every other possibility is played out in another dimension. My belief is that we may be reborn and replay all these events with each of the different outcomes.

But, as I grew up and followed through academically, I began to see the ignorance and hypocrisy of the Catholic Church. After that I was determined to convert to another denomination, but realized they were all the same thing. I recently was in the process of converting to Buddhism, with the help of my dad, but I realized I was a closet-atheist. So as I came out of that closet I recognized several core beliefs that I have are true, and one of them regards death.
I believe the state of being dead is similar to sleeping, that is: that you don't conciously know you're alive and time doesn't seem to ever pass, because you are unaware of it - a state of infinity. If there is a soul, an inner human quality, it would manifest itself through dreams in this state, but I highly doubt such a thing exists. Because of my beliefs regarding death, I am not afraid of it. Dying tomorrow isn't something that freightens me, as I realize that even when dead I won't be conciously able to grief. However, what does frighten me is the process of dying, the slow painful process that leads of up to infiniteness.
Let us suppose that man does not have a soul. Therefore, all that is man's psychology can be comprehended in terms of Biology. Biology has its roots in Chemistry, and Chemistry in Physics. The basis of Physics are the pure logical means of reason. Therefore, by this line of consequences, all of man's psychology can be understood and comprehended through basic, pure logical reasoning. Of course, this cannot be. Consequently, man has a soul.

One of my friends almost died he told me he saw this loop, when he wanted to get out it just restarted so then fear of repetition sinked in then he said he was fine with repetition then he woke up at a hospital screaming
he said it was the last thing he remembered and still doesnt know if it was a dream or the process of near death
in the end facts are facts
Life After Death Doesnt exist

I met myself in a dark place
Upon looking around...
And seeing nothing,
I inquired as to what there was to do.
Being surprised by my answer,
"Not much."
I suggested we do it again.
San wrote:Lots of thinking, about 3 months went into thinking about this, and i still can't explain it very well, so here I go:
Quantum Mechanics may explain the above better. According to Quantum Mechanics, each choice you make has its outcome. Say you ask for orange juice. In the Quantum Mechanics world, there is only a probability that you would actually acquire orange juice. In another dimension, you play out another possibility and in another dimension another and so on and so forth. Death may be a key to unlocking the other possibilities again without being aware of our previous results.
I am not telling you to accept this, just letting my thoughts out.(Sorry if this confuses you, I did my best)
Thanks,

-Edit- btw, the final push I got to completely post this was the String Theory. If you do not know what this is, you should look it up, as me explaining it may confuse you as I only understand tidbits of it.

Witten reluctantly admits the M in M-theory can also stand for murky due to the fact that the level of understanding of the theory is so primitive.¹
