yes but the way you think cannot alter one way or the other the fact of whether or not there is life after death. i don't have more chance of surviving death if i believe i will, either i will or i won't, the truth of it is beyond my will. believing in it purely because it is empowering is not gonna change the fact of whether or not life after death is a reality.

belief doesn't change the fact of whether or not there actually is life after death, which one cannot know for sure. surely a belief is a conclusion and they prevent enquiry. how can you enquire if you've already made your mind up on something that there is absolutely no way you can be sure on?

If you don't choose to believe, you trap yourself in endless speculation.

i reckon there might be life after death and thats it, speculation over. no trap, no endless.

and to believe just so it ends speculation on a subject could be a trap in itself as you accept an idea so just you're reality is unruffled.
