There is no such thing as life after death. you cease to exist the moment you die. What is not realized in near death experiences is that they are experiencing a dream state that the perceived time approaches infinity as the point of true death occurs. Consciousness is not energy. Your brain can be considered a flash drive and your mind and experiences are the information. What happens to the files when you destroy the drive? the files go as well not transmuted to any other form. Sorry guys when you die you are dead. You will experience a billion year long dream just for its lights out.

"I am" even when I am not.
each night I die into dreamless sleep and then reappear back into my memories of an individual self awareness.
one might say the experience of lucid dreaming opens up a greater understanding of how people can die into the mass universal consciousness and then be brought back to life "reality" to be made real again ...kind of like a near death experience.

I was wondering, do you believe that we have a spirit or soul? or are we just flesh and blood?

How does that belief change your actions?
For me, I will readily admit that if I believed the way you believe, I would live out my days like Genghis Khan! I would live strictly by laws of nature, may the strong survive, and I would have no regard for any fellow human being that was not a blood relative or concubine of mine.
I don't believe the way you believe, I do believe that consciousness is energy, and it is part of a larger system, and something does survive, and therefore I am civilized and on a path to self-improvement.
I don't understand how someone can believe the way you believe, and still live within the constraints of civilization. Why? What is the point of self-restraint if you only have a limited amount of time and nothing more?
