>I would be intrigued to know from someone who really does believe in an afterlife just what identity actually survives in such cases. But like most of life as we know it, I would say identity is part fact, part fiction, part mystery.-Both my son and I believe. My son is gone and I can't ask him, but he imagined that he would be a bundle of energy, his soul, that was recognizable to folks he knew. Communication would be telepathic, just as it is in NDE's. His identity, therefore continues, as does thought and communication. He was contemplating death when he described his thoughts about afterlife. Optimistically I hadn't given it much descriptive thought at the time, but I've come to the conclusion that what he imagined is about what I expect.
