To give an analogy, I see life as a giant game of snakes and ladders, some people don't get far along the board others make it to the end. Once you have played the game and had your turn that is it, finish

I will live on the form of my child and grandchildren
I hope I have taught them well and they will enjoy life.
Then in turn they will play their part in leaving a legacy for the generations which follow..

Re: Am i coming back
There's a reason it's called death - it's because you die and rot away like all animals on the earth. Instead of hoping for another life in another body we should be appreciating this, our one chance, while we actually have that chance.I can't imagine anything worse than coming back again as someone else with a new and different set of angsts, insecurities, bodily imperfections, relationship problems and so on. God, it's hard enough first time round.

Re: Am i coming back
A hard one to describe, but the concept of 'Self' intrigues me.Someone once posed a problem about Star Trek style teleportation.... the procedure went something like....
Person goes into teleport .
Teleporter breaks downthe person into atoms and precice details of where each atom went.
This is beamed to the receiving teleport where the person is re-assembled.
NOW.. is that the same person? They're physically the same, but are they the same person or simply a fascimilie of the original?
What would happen if the teleport malfunctioned and produced two copies of the person. Who would be the real one?
I think that this is the real me, though sometimes I'm not sure!!

Re: Am i coming back
I doubt it! Although I do believe that those who have passed over, do come back to us! Two weeks before I found my big brother dead, my parents "visited" me - I was sleeping but could see them both as clear as day and saw my white tall boy at their side, Mum was doing what she did before she died - twisting her wedding ring and she was trying to tell me something, Dad was at her back and he had on his harris tweed jacket! I opened my eye wide and I was crying!! I knew that something was going to happen - and it did! It wasn't the first time a similar happening occurred to me!I remember my Mum talk of George Bernard Shaw and I think he was a bit of a Spiritualist but she said he never came back after he died!
