i'm sure there are some people that say there is no such thing as non existance...some people would say that anything you could ever hope for or dream of...or think of....exists somewhere in some place... the only defintion i can think of for non existance is whatever it is..or was..can no longer be found anywhere..or anyplace...as for when we die..call me an optimist..but i like to think we still exist in some form...hopefully in a happy place.

The definition of nonexistance will vary based upon if you mean by and internal or external perspective.
For example, both of my parents are long dead. But since the memories of them live on in my (and anyone else who might have known them) head, they are not fully in the realm of nonexistence They still exist in a etherial way. Nonexistence is difficult to achieve on this level, for ones actions echo on in real ways that have effect. The 14th century Lithuainian who was my forebearer might all but be forgotten in name, appearence, actions, and dreams, but his genetic signiture lives on in me. Thus he is not yet gone. He is yet to be fully nonexistent.
The definition here is to be totaly forgotten in all ways, leaving no sign or mark of ever having been here in any way shape and form.
If you mean in the first person perspective, that of the dead person. Then the definition is very simple: To be not.

Whoa guitman, that's DEEP!But seriosly, I don't really think that non-existance is something that the human mind can encompass. The human mind is actually fairly limited when it comes to grasping numbers. For Example: its easy to picture a hundred suirrels, maybe even a thousand for some people, but can anyone really understand the idea of 5 trillion squirrels? Not to mention an infinity of those PESKY DAMN...sorry, lost the happy...
. But on the opposite end, it is impossible for anyone to honestly belive that a sqirel never existed. somewherre back in our subconcious, we know what is and is not real. So, basically, anything we think of must exist, at least in some capacity. Plus, if truly nothing existed, who would be around to think about it. Its a situation that's never likely to come up, so naturally our minds are not trained to deal with it.by the way, this is my 50th post *ahem* WOOOOOOHOOOOO!
*cough* and i think that means i become an official novice (yep! that goes on the resume)so i thought i would make this post something profound. thanks for humoring me!Haltickling

Non-existence does not exist!
Oops, what am I saying?

I just LOVE Guitman's definition. Very cool!
This will sound very wierd but when you consider a person's personality when they are alive and all the energy behind that it's hard to imagine that all that energy ceases to exist when death occurs.
I've had experiences where people who have passed seemed to guide me. They let their presence be known through signs somehow. So although they're dead I could feel their spirit still.
