Life after death is an oxymoron

The title sums it up. If death is under consideration for an individual self, then 'life after' is redundant. Other people will live on, sure. But after one dies, there is no life after death. There is only death. The experience is non-living. Sometimes people die then come back to life, occasionally. And during these occurrences, sometimes they can recall the experience from conscious memory. There is no way to literally prove their subjective experience really happened, however, death can be measured/quantified and proven.

While people are limited with our senses, we make up for it with expansive imagination. Through the imagination we can experience things our senses wouldn't really allow. We can defy gravity, entropy, change, stasis, objective logic in general. Immortality is a conceptual antibody the imagination produced because of death. When we let our imagination solve the challenge of thriving, our lives undergo experience which is called dream.

A dream come true - when the imagination produces a reality for subsequent senses. We have the ability to take what's in our imagination, and put it into the physical/objective world. My favorite example is the airplane, and how far we've come with trying out flight (check out jetman dubai if you want to see some truly awesome flying). But it can be something less physical as well, such as a persons behavior. The airplane is lovely, but it wouldn't have happened were it not for the specific behavior used to produce the idea and reality of it. The creation process of the airplane began within the imagination of its creators.

When I hear religious people talk about god as the creator, I feel like they are just talking about themselves in third person. God is an idea in the imagination, and doesn't necessarily exist in objectivity beyond that. But the nice thing about the imagination, it can figure out *how* to objectify ideas, *to* be measured. If god cannot be measured, then god can be redefined. When the definition is on the table for reconstruction, anything is possible; it's on!

Creation of objective properties, substance, and behavior are all the imagination needs to get the ball rolling. After that it's a matter of moving things around into the proper place. I think of imagination as what furthers convenient adjustment for life, and what cements the possibility to thrive into existence. Perhaps the imagination then is not limited to intelligent "life", in the sense of organisms. Imagination itself could be a objective concept; force of nature. Life and creation go hand in hand it seems, but BOTH are merely subjected to perspective.

Life as we KNOW IT may not be life *completely*. Think about fire and flames for a moment. Fire has many of the same properties as anything living (that's why we say fire dies). Fire is not an organism, but it is not inanimate, yet has a lifespan. Such is the principle for this theory: Life and the Imagination are 2 things which can exist in objective reality, not organically associated with perspective or perception, and are in fact forces of nature orchestrated by the universe at large - through micro and macro elements of behavior. Quantum and galactic mechanics go largely over and under our heads, which means we are lucky enough to be somewhere in the middle. We have plenty of room to stretch and breathe our personal imagination, so why not try it!
