Anyone into this sort of stuff? I am kinda of the skeptical camp that when we die we're lights out, our bodies disintegrate and we don't go to "heaven" or be reincarnated as an eagle or some shit.
Discus.

Nada, zilch, nothing is left. If our bodies disintegrate so do our souls.

I reckon there is something to the idea, but like with anything religious/mythological we take this stuff far too literally to really understand what's being said

I consider stars life anyway.
IMO the whole "8 things needed to be considered life" thing is a bit silly, stars/the universe come from nothing, if that's not life then what is?

The soul is a delusion, it doesn't really exist. You are nothing but matter and energy, the body never really dies, it carries on the endless cycle of life and death.

Before we were born we had no feeling; we were one with the universe. This is called "mind-only," or "essence of mind," or "big mind." After we are separated by birth from this oneness, as the water falling from the waterfall is separated by the wind and rocks, then we have feeling. You have difficulty because you have feeling. You attach to the feeling you have without knowing just how this kind of feeling is created. When you do not realize that you are one with the river, or one with the universe, you have fear. Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water. Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact, we have no fear of death anymore, and we have no actual difficulty in our life.
When the water returns to its original oneness with the river, it no longer has any individual feeling to it; it resumes its own nature, and finds composure. How very glad the water must be to come back to the original river! If this is so, what feeling will we have when we die? I think we are like the water in the dipper. We will have composure then, perfect composure. It may be too perfect for us, just now, because we are so much attached to our own feeling, to our individual existence. From us, just now, we have some fear of death, but after we resume our true original nature, there is Nirvana. That is why we say, "To attain Nirvana is to pass away." "To pass away" is not a very adequate expression. Perhaps "to pass on," or "to go on," or "to join" would be better. Will you try to find some better expression for death? When you find it, you will have quite a new interpretation of your life. It will be like my experience when I saw the water in the big waterfall. Imagine! It was 1,340 feet high
