We didn't exist for eternity until our birth and we'll go back to not existing for eternity after our death.
But if that's not the case my other belief is we'll revert back to pure energy when we die and exist forever throughout the universe, but I don't think there is an omnipresent God who created everything.
That's literally what I say / believe word for word.
Everyone wonders what it'll be like when we die, why? we've all already been dead, before we were born.
There's no mystery for me.
The being born again or coming back whatever will mean absolutely nothing to you, because even if it were possible you'd remember the same way you do now, nothing before you were born, you'd be a completely new person with a new brain and new experiences so it literally doesn't matter you'd essentially be a new person with their own memories not yours.
However, honestly I don't think that even happens.
Not even all living things see and hear ffs, take Jelly Fish or worms, literally living off feel and touch only.
We should just count our blessings that we have a body with the highest levels of senses and brain power to process our environment.
Thats why I live life to enjoy it as much as I can, once its gone, its over.
My belief of God is that God is the Universe, it's the universe that creates, breeds energy and matter to an unbelievable degree of mass.
There are certain things that happen in the Universe which by all rights should not exist or happen yet they do to the point that even science can't fully explain it, life being one of them.
DNA for example, DNA is information, information requires a form of intelligence ......... how did single cells "act" reproduce, pass on DNA.
Its the equivalent of a brick duplicating itself then building a house on their own.
I watched a program once on how life on earth started and it was very interesting, they even said there's a part of cell life that even scientists haven't bridged how it happens.
............ oh and that star matter i.e star dust is what we're made of, its stars that populate our galaxy with matter, like space factories.

Not really, it makes living life to the full more precious.
We all got lucky, we won the "lottery of life" got to learn about our human history and experience everything life has to offer, strippers, alcohol, football, family, friends, drama, mystery, Xmas and birthdays etc.
I do think though that when we get old and I mean like 80+ you'll be so worn out and tired, the long sleep won't seem so bad tbh.
I have to be honest I was a very active, young living person in my 30's, I used to hit the bars with my friends every weekend chatting up the ladies, meeting friends down town etc but the lockdown has really slowed us all down as it basically retired us and since I turned 40 I've found I don't have the energy I used to although I recon I'll get some of it back once I start doing cardio again next week but even I'm starting to feel the weariness a bit, can't imagine how that will be in my 80's ffs.
