If energy cannot be destroyed just transformed, and we essentially are made of energy. Does that mean we live on just in a different sense?

It would appear so, wouldn't it?

SORRY - Different kind of energy so your association does not ring true.

We are not energy, but matter run on energy. Electrical impulses sent through our bodies to control our muscles are expended (or converted) to kinetic energy. Our bodies eventually stop converting energy into the electrical impulses that power us, therefore we cease to be energetic and die. Man, that sounds so "doom".

Welcome to the insane world of people who think that just because A can be made into B, and B can be made into A, that A and B are the same thing. I think the idea behind the OP is related to the fact that matter and energy can be converted from one to the other. Many people misunderstand this to mean that matter and energy are 'the same thing', leading them to 'we are energy'.

There is no 'death' ... there is only a transitioning to a higher plane of existence. My out-of-body experience in '72 taught me that we don't just 'cease to exist' ... we continue, and the 'skin suit' we walk around in now is left behind like the discarded skin of a cicada after it moults. 'Death' is the beginning - not the 'end'.

Let me know after you're 'out of body' ... but wait 'til it's on a permanent basis ...

Certainly, the more energy you accumulate, the better the transformation! Unfortunately, majority of people only tranform into a hot air -- the last breath! The greatest dispair of most of the elderly people is that they haven't had a chance of accomplishing much in this life (i.e. have't accumulated much of the energy...) Consider yourself being warned!!! (so you won't be tormented later on...)

But when we die do our bodies not decay. That is a chemical reaction which takes energy, and the micros and bugs that help that process don't they use what thay take as energy. Does not the waste produced from these life forms go on to fuel something else and eventually give birth to another life. I'm not saying its pretty but what transition is.

DO NOT CONCERN YOURSELF WITH THE PHISIICAL PART, BUT WITH THE SPIRITUAL!!!

DO NOT CONCERN YOURSELF WITH THE PHISIICAL PART, BUT WITH THE SPIRITUAL]/U]!!! I think it's all relevant. The physical is the vessel in which we learn to cherish life and how fragile it can be. But the spiritual is where we learn the true strength that everyone is capable of.

... sorry, I was only referring to this: But when we die do our bodies not decay...

I, myself, will concern myself with the physical so long as I live. Why? Because I'm alive and its in my best interest. If there is a transition, then I'll concern myself with it once its happened. And as for the "out of body" experience ... there have been a multitude of cases in which the mind has turned to hallucination in traumatic situations. Repressed memories are also related to this. And I know of one case in particular in which a rapist was transformed by a mind to a complete stranger because, for the woman in question, her mind could not take the realization that it was a long-time friend who had committed the act.

Most of educated people tent to develop both aspects of their mind simultaneously -- Physical & Spiritual. I ain't no expert in After-life (NOBODY is), but I tend to believe that we get whatever we believed in: - transformation into something else? -- sure, take your pick.. - Nothingness? -- Certainly, no one is forced to go on... *******BUT YOUR AIN'T GONNA BE GIVEN A CHOICE!!!*********

If you're no expert in the "afterlife" then how do you know we're not going to be given a choice?
