  1. No. First off, that amount of time or any other which might dwarf the one you thought up by comparison would be an infinitesimal period of time compared to eternity which is beginningless and endless time. The reason should be obvious. Any finite quantity, no matter how great or how small would be infinitely less than an infinite quantity.

    Secondly, if death is like being anesthetized for surgery, then it wouldn't matter how long your soul slept, because when regaining consciousness after anesthetization, it is as though no time passed at all from the time you lost consciousness even though the surgery might have lasted many hours.


  2. No, because there is a lot to do when we leave this physical realm. Life goes on and we continue to learn and expand in our consciousness and understanding of what the Cosmos is all about, and our place in it.

    Time is relative. In the higher dimensions there is no time or space. All is in the NOW.

    I AM THE LIFE!

  3. No, I remember previous incarnations.  

  4. Sleeping is the only time I am at total peace (as long as I am not dreaming).

    no fear here.. maybe tomorrow

  5. No

  6. not really but even if it is true id rather be sl;eeping for the next gabazillion years than working my a$$ off  

  7. "I do not fear death because the last 5 billion years of being dead didn't bother me at all." -Mark Twain.

    Of course his billions were wrong, so maybe a trillion billion would feel different -- NOT!

  8. Nah, we won't have the slightest awareness. It'll be just like before you were born.  Btw..  it will be be much, much longer of a 'nap' - as in like.. permanently..

  9. I didn't mind not existing before I was alive.  So why would I mind after I die?  Dead people don't feel anything.

  10. If death were the same as sleep, nobody would be afraid of it, because we all sleep, and we all know there's nothing to worry about, except the occasional nightmare.  We like to believe that after we die there is something good to look forward to, and maybe that's true.  If there is a place beyond here, then it is interesting to note that of all the brilliant thinkers who have gone there, people who could figure out anything, with an eternity to work on it, none has ever come back.  We must assume then that either it is impossible to return, or it's such a great place that nobody has ever wanted to.  The alternative is that death is a permanent state of unconsciousness.  Anyone who has ever been unconscious will tell you that there is nothing to be afraid of in that, but it is a little sad to suffer the permanent loss of all your memories and everything which makes you who you are.  Fear of that possibility certainly makes sense, although there is nothing we can do about it.

  11. No, because I believe in God and asked him into my life. I believe I'll be happier than ever in Heaven.

  12. Nope.  I'm not afraid of death.  I'm afraid of not living.  (well not really afraid but thats what I'm more interested in)

    I love the quote from Braveheart:  "Every man dies but not every man really lives."

    Who knows for sure what really happens when we die but there's no point in being afraid of it.

  13. Sleeping when dead???? Don't think that's a possibility CAUSE YOUR DEADDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
