Eyes as windows

[jinzu]

Sticking this here maybe should it be for philosophy/faith? Am not sure.
My wonder is if anyone has seen a dead person who still walks the earth. Been to some hospital and there was a guy there his eyes were blue like the sky on a clear day. It was weird because the guy never appeared to be looking anywhere but straight ahead, like he would not turn his eyes unless his head moved. There was another person there like that as well. I saw another guy who was very tall in the books 4 less bookstore near my house who had the sky colored empty eyes also. When I looked at him he just stared blankly ahead then later sat down and closed his eyes for at least 2 hours but was not sleeping.

So I am wondering if when people die can they come back to earth or do we never leave earth? Also I have seen people with black as oil eyes but this only occurs in a few people and they have to be completely angry or enraged.

Has anyone witnessed this before?

Well, considering that all claims of an afterlife involve supernatural elements and therefore cannot be proven, the answer is "We don't know for certain". Yet there is a way to produce a more definitive answer: axioms. If we assume that the supernatural does not exist, and that even if it were to exist, it could not influence the natural world, we can conclude that death permanently ends consciousness. No second chances, no rebirth, just The End, except without the words. The experience of death itself, moreover, is unknowable because the dead, by definition, cannot come back to life in a purely physical world.

And no, the absence of rebirth should not spur you to adopt occult or religious beliefs that demand a supernatural world. What we want to be true has no influence on what is true; of course, we can really never know Truth to a perfect degree of certainty-- if we can know it at all-- and must therefore be, if we seek to have a worldview, content with small amounts of faith concerning one's own existence and position in the cosmos.

In conclusion, barring claims of outright faith, death is the end of life and you should try to understand more likely causes for the two men's behavior. Perhaps they were ill, perhaps you mistook their eye color, perhaps you were hallucinating. All of these conclusions, of course, are not as emotionally stimulating as one of one's own immortality, and I caution you to maintain a close watch over your feelings lest they creep into your reasoning and leave you living a dream. After all, you only live once.

Thank you for the intelligent reply. From the posts I have read there are many very intelligent people on this forum. And to add it was a mental hospital but I was not hallucinating. That is why it was so weird and the same look was in a man's eyes at Books 4 Less in Georgia. Am not sure what the events mean but yes their eyes looked lost in the sky and the black eyes was very weird as well. Like their eyes were the color of oil completely.

Am not a religious person although I do believe in a supreme authority. As far as Jesus goes, am not sure if he is what christians claim. Death is certain I know that much.
