Funny question. I know. But you know, I have always had a stringent disavowal of the paranormal, other than the 'allowable' paranormal from my Roman Catholic upbringing.

Then, tonight, I watched a movie that got me thinking. If you're dead, wouldn't you know? Well, maybe no. There's a character like me in the movie... all sense and facts, except for religion, and there's no in-between. And what about dying in your sleep? How do "YOU" conciously know that you've died? I'm curious about this from all angles, all opinions welcome.

Do you think death is a moment of epiphany, for better or for worse? That an angel and a demon show up and throw dice over your and one takes you away? Or do you think it's more sublime than that... do you have to 'resolve' things before you go? Or is there anything? Is it a lightswitch being turned off? Maybe we live on, we think everything is as normal, yet everything changes around us, unknown to us. Again, back to the original question... Descartes proof of existence, "I think, therefore I am" doesn't exactly help you define what temporal state you believe you're in (or the one you actually are for that matter)...

Anybody else ever look around and ask "How do I know my mind's not more powerful than I give it credit for?"
