When the body dies, what is it that persists after death? When you say you go to heaven after you die, what is it that goes to heaven?

I'm not quite sure what I believe in, but I do believe the soul of a human being travels on...that's why we have paranormal happenings in the world and that's why some people vividly remember their past lives.

So I think its the soul that goes on for eternity...or until its purpose is served

What is the soul? Is it everything in the body minus the physiological body which has died? Just the memories? Reasoning capacity? How can a living person know what is the soul and what isn't?

I personally feel like the soul is the intuitive side of a being to understand it even exists. The soul is the natural being of a person before the world we are in molds it into a being in human form. I believe since energy, matter cannot be "destroyed" that our souls move in from our empty vessel of a body to another state in which our soul's energy can recognize it's existence once again.

It's like how when people take hallucinogenics and say they feel the mood of everyone in the room and of the room itself. That energy is picked up all the time no matter what, but on hallucinogenics it is intensified.

What is it that persists during life? Nothing at all, yet we are demonstrably alive. So why shouldn't the same nothing at all survive death?

The body is alive, nothing demonstrably more. If that nothing survives death, then the thing that survives is nothing. Make sense? It doesn't to me...

Yes, the body is alive, but that wasn't what I asked. I asked what persists. Cells die and are replaced. Molecules get broken down into metabolites and excreted, replaced by newly-synthesized replacements. Nothing persists.

Heaven? - well thats one way of putting it - For me - It's another dimension
'This' life is only one charter of an Never Ending story
The body is only a vehicle in witch the Soul and Spirits operate - it decays only when the two move on.
Where they go to is ... well I guess you just have to be there
