How do you know there is an afterlife? How do know that there isn't one?
People didn't go around saying that there isn't a planet called the Moon 50 years before it was discovered.
Of course also people didn't go around trying to conform people to their moon cult 50 years before the moon was discovered, but if that occured then people would have responded with saying that there is no such thing as the moon. Both of these claims would be wrong because there is no proof yet that a moon exists and there would never be proof that a moon doesn't exist because the entire universe would have to be mapped out and searched. This is what the debate on God and the afterlife has come down to and we need to quit with our biases and look at God and the afterlife with a clean slate.
There is no physical way to prove if there is or isn't an afterlife, so we have to take an unbiased approach to this topic. I am not trying to prove anything I am just trying to think of the most logical thing that happens after you die.
The problem is that people look at God and the afterlife with a closed mind. God and the afterlife is not even close to being simple and most of us can't even comprehend and imagine it's complexity, and because we can't reach those limits of understanding we believe it is not there. This is why we have to start being more open minded and willing to accept and think about strange new ideas.
First I want to say that the physical world is an illusion. 99% of an atom is empty space. An atom is basically negative and positive energies brought together in a minute solar system and many of these atoms brought together form the illusion of the physical world. Quantum physics has already revealed that the entire universe is a single gigantic field of energy. With dealing with the afterlife, we have to get out of the habit of thinking in terms of the physical world. The frequency range that we live in is so small compared to the entire frequency range, that it would be foolish to think that the physical world is the only thing out there. The idea of a God and afterlife existing as physical things is an impossibility, which is why they would most likely be made out of energy.
When our consciousness wants to walk somewhere, it sends out an electrical signal to our body and makes it move. This means that a consciousness has to exist, since it has a clear effect on the physical world. Since electricity and energy directly affects the physical world, and not the other way around, then there is no way that the consciousness can be a physical thing. The human mind and imagination is not bound by any physical limits or rules, so the only explanation is that it has to be some sort of energy.
From The Law of Conservation of Energy, we know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change its form. So if the human consciousness is energy, then it simply can't "die" like the physical body, it has to carry on after the physical body's death.
So yes, there is in fact an afterlife, but not as most people imagine it to be. The afterlife would be nothing like this life because there would be no physical restrictions. There would be no individuality, no limitations by time and space, and happiness wouldn't be limited by physical attributes. And last but not least, there would be no individuality, you would simply blend into the whole.
"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." -Albert Einstein
