I believe there's nothing coming after. I believe death is permanent oblivion.
I can tell, that’s why I’m urging you to look beyond what you already believe and consider the possibilities. You are the universe experiencing itself, one small step on the evolutionary chain to Universal Consciousness.
I've looked into it, and while interesting, I honestly don't buy it. If you get brain damage or fundamentally changes who you are, so I honestly believe we are just our brains.

Mmhhmmm.

He said "I use God mainly as a metaphor" on the line right before universal consciousness. I'm not trying to argue, just giving another perspective.
I believe there's nothing coming after. I believe death is permanent oblivion. I believe that's why we should live our best life now, that's all.
