I believe there is something after death. All this dream/obe stuff has me convinced. I'm not sure if "I", my personality, will make the trip when my body dies.

If everything that makes you "you" goes away, then what remains to go into this afterlife? I think this belief is essentially equivalent to not believing in life after death.

Idk I'm thinking something like a more expansive me, a soul if you will. Everything I currently am is contained in it but swallowed up by it.

Hmm, what sort of characteristics would this thing have? If you take away the ego, isn't just the Universe left? :mushroom2:

No idea. I don't think our minds can conceptualize such a thing, if it is able to be conceptualized in the first place.
