what do you think happens when you die?

just curious as to what other people thought

 

Everyone cries and your body rots...

Your "spirit" (electromagnetic energy surrounding your body) goes out and joins the other random electromagnetic energy surrounding the planet... This explains ghosts (like radio waves bleeding thru on the wrong station) and reincarnation (parts of energy from your electromagnetic field become part of someone else's.)

 

I think you pass into another life , maybe you might go to a waiting area first....but , its in the blink of an eye , I dont think you even realise you died it so fast.

 

When I die war will cease.

 

That is always what I have assumed. After a bad trip, I began to associate the moment of death with that feeling you get the very moment before you fall asleep--only instead of going to sleep you completely f*cking disappear.

At that point the individual is gone save for the influence thay have exacted in their lifetime and lingering memories that are carried by those that are alive after. The body then decomposes and does what carboned-based things do--become absorbed and used by the earth.

 

This is a very interesting site on the topic: http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/

 

mystery happens

 

I have thought i figured it out a couple times when i was deep in a trip.. i hear my dad's voice saying something like "yea this is it jim" and then everything kind of blends together and whisks away... for that moment i know, and im sure, but i loose it shortly after and I'm stuck thinking about what i just felt....Like i am now..... but yea i feel it has a lot to do with energy and us being recreated in some other form at a later date, maybe all together, maybe after another big bang or something. But i really don't think we will know it, I have a prity good feeling it's just lights out.

 

You cease to exist, hopefully peacefully, and join the rocks and oceans and stars in the nonliving order of the universe.

 

That is a question that we will never know. I assume we decompose into the soil and help new life grow. Best is to not think about it and just live life to the fullest.

 

Near-death experiences were always fascinating. A repeating factor in alot of the cases was always a light.....a light that feels like a thousand warm blankets hugging you, accepting you. I wonder if this could be the endless energy that composes us all or maybe God finally bringing us towards paradise. I wonder if the spirit has a consciousness like my body.

 

I think we go to a waiting room before the next life. A funeral maybe a sort of lesson for us, to learn how we 'scored' in this life, and to reflect upon it.

 

I like to think that the spirit passes to another place to continue life on another plane.

 

Yes, but in my experience, near-death realizations are part of something that we've already experienced, rather than an actual happening, and a literal lift to heaven. Case in point: someone is more likely to see Jesus when they are about to die if they go to church, rather than an Atheist, who will see things more literally. The light is most likely a hallucination brought on by preconceived notions about the afterlife. I'm not saying it can't happen, but almost always it's a hallucination. I would rather travel the world on a spiritual journey after I died then spend my life in paradise, but I think that all the feelings of ether and peacefulness before death is a sign of how people see their lives ending, rather than actual occurrences.

 

i died one time. when i woke up i realized i was living in an idol obsessed world. where women and men thought they were more then living creatures. where men and women put oils and skins all over their bodies to hide their true self. nobody knows what day it is or where their children are at. i woke up and saw my face in a mirror. i hadn't changed from when i was a young kid. all of my closest friends whom i grew up with were taller and stronger, but clearly brainwashed by the idols on the black box in the living room. i dont know if i want to die again now or later, as long as i can live in peace. im looking for those who dont worship false idols. the faces on tv- you dont know anything about anybody on tv or the radio. seek the truth, it will set you free. earth is my afterlife, my next one will be 6feet under, then into the lifeblood of the earth.

the energy that held me together goes back to the comos

 

You go to the other side, which is the same as here only much less dense.

 

I *imagine* if you can find a balance in your consciousness -- a place and a posture in your mind where you experience a continuity of consciousness, where nothing changes even though the world blazes on by, where you experience an extended moment of no change, then when you die, there will be no change for that part of you. Everything else will be wiped away -- like a giant comb stroking through your being pulling away all attachments and entanglements, . . .

If you die before having ever discovered your own piece of eternity, then after your death you will continue searching for it. Sanzu-no-kawa, the River Styx, or other rivers of death are all symbolic of the continued search minus our current body. Buddhism (and Hinduism?) imagine you to return here again in another body, getting a partial reboot, and then trying afresh to find enough eternity to stay.

The overall jist is that the part of you that is the most in tune with the eternal moment is the only one that persists. The more you can find that part of yourself now, the more you can *be* that eternal moment, the more you will continue after death, *and* the more you will already be there, transcending time *now*.

But this is just one way I imagine it. It is generally the most comfortable perspective I can maintain ("belief" for me) without being distracted for one reason or another. "Beliefs" are tricky and actually largely unnecessary, I think. Though no one seems to agree with me on this point.

when you die your body decays and your soul goes to a waiting place according to where you belong if you're a good boy you go to paradise bad ones go to hell ... so tell me what life is when your ass belongs to earth and your soul belongs to Jesus!
