Life What happens when you die?

[M3J]

I believe nothing happens. Once we die, we just die, emptiness, blackness, void. We won't even notice it. We're just dead, our body burned to ashes, buried underground, or laid on the ground decomposing and being eaten by scavengers.
Or we could be reincarnated. Or we could relive our life again. Who knows?

But I believe heaven and hell are fake and both are made up by religions to make people work harder and give money. This may also be believed by people because they're scared shitless of death, of the unknown. Heaven and hell in my opinion comes from selfishness of people.

Everything goes dark you cease to exist...

ofcourse relatively we cease to exist , but then you enter another state .

i finally found the answer.
-when you die, a sudden film will show up, and you start to recognize it,"Hey that's me!"(flash back).
-when you die, you'd wish to live longer or come back to life.
-when you die, you wanna take your loved ones with you(kill them).
-some ppl(those who have felt "NDE-near death experience") say they see a dark tunnel, others grassy crossroads, idk but i wanna see a swimming pool or beach when i die.

I don't know if that can interest you, but my grandfather (I have never known him) was really sick and has almost died many times. He said that he was floating in the room and seeing the doctors around his body.
Maybe the soul just stay on earth ?

Hi Nolwen, that is pretty interesting. I have heard of similar events before,

its usually referenced as NDE or Near Death Experience. Where patients claim

to be floating or going to heaven, hell, etc. Then comeback to their bodies.

You may want to read up on this more from the wiki article. Link is below.

[~FrienD~]

then how bout this: one night i was awake but i can't move my body then i see myself on my own bed: is it possible that my spirit wandered and that i died once?
believe it or not i prayed and voila i woke up(now i can't figure if its a dream) but seems a god really does exist.

 

[Nolwen0503]

He isn't. He died before I was born.

Thank you charlie-san, I 'll read this article ^^

 

[DLord.Van.Buuren]

im sure the article charlie provided we'll be helpful , but what is the impact of that experience on you that is the question , what made you think as soon as you heard of it thats what i actually find interesting .

Hmm... First, I thought that it would be surprising if your death is like this ...
But it make me think that "death" has more than one meaning: what exactly the moment of death ? Can you feel you're dying ?
So what's the limit between life and death ?
Maybe you can see you dying (it would be logical after that experiment, you make a NDE then you die ).
I think that's a clue to know what takes place after your death.

 

[DLord.Van.Buuren]

i think this NDE cant be much of a clue , i mean the person who died and the person who came back from death the two arent similar at all .

 

[Nolwen0503]

Maybe, but just now ,the person who came back from death is the one who can better imagin the feeling of death. It's like a division by zero : we can't make it , but we can imagin it with a denominator close to zero ...

And I say that NDE would be an option, not a real clue, but it 's a clue we've got, so we can exploit it .
If NDE is just the first step, what's the second ? Maybe is the difference between a dead and a person who made NDE is just the difference of steps they reach ...

 

[DLord.Van.Buuren]

NDE is nothing more than brain deception ,comparable to a dream why exploit ND while we have another option which is dreams .

Sorry to hear your grandfather died before you were born. The same thing happened for me. I'm offering my own story in conciliation for your lose and to assist you in your question. Anywho, he in fact died 3 days before I was born, I barely missed him. He had skin cancer that spread all over his body and is what caused him to pass. It was a really stressful time because I was also on the way in my moms womb and he was very sick. On top of things, to make matters worse the doctors told my parents I was supposed to be deformed and a dwarf (meaning having a large head but a small body.) So during this time my parents were extremely worried and bothered and all hope seemed gone. But, it was now December 16th, when my parents visited him, he told them he had a vision in his sleep. In the vision he was visited by a woman in blue and she was holding a baby. He told my parents that the child was me and that this woman came to show him that I would be ok and not have an abnormalities. The catch to it all was though that he told my parents that he would have to die for me to be ok. Four days later on December 20th he died. Now my due date was supposed to be a month later in January, but my mom ended up sitting near air conditioners in the funeral home (they were there to keep the room cool to preserve the flowers) and she developed the flu. The flu and high fever she had sent her into labor and on December 23rd I was born...a month early that I was supposed to be. The magical thing to all this is that I came out fine. I might have a big head but its completely proportional to my body, and I would like to think that it is because I am smart . Overall, this story is something that has surrounded and if you will set the tone for my life. My whole birth and grandfathers death established many things for me. It established that there is indeed an afterlife and that there is indeed a God. For whoever reads this, believe what you want but this story is something that is dear to me and is not something that is easy for me to explain to anyone since I am easily ridiculed. I ask that you be respectful and if you think it is bull crap then respectfully disagree with me without causing trouble. But for those of you who are questioning faith or don't know what to believe, please take my story seriously and I hope that it helps at least one person find there way.

If you dream, it's important to say it . If there are many possibility according to different types of personality, that's important too.

Thank you for your story. I'm sorry too for your grandfather. I think it's logical after this event to have different translation. And, as your grandfather was right, we can doubt of what's really death ...

It is simple.
Your allies will be sad.
Your enemies will be glad.

Who knows what happens:

-There could be just a long tzschhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and there nothing...dark, its over....you dont even know or feel it

-You could go to heaven or hell

-Your whole life just repeats (even time itself) itself

and many more possibilitys....

And honestly, at this moment...just right know...I dont give a damn what happens...heck...I dont even care right know.

Its a adventure....doesnt matter what happens...you cant change it and you certainly dont know what will happen.

So why wasting time on thinking about it and getting into a sad and drepressed state.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

For me there are two possibilities:
1. You die and you just vanish.
2. You die and thne reborn in the new body a bit like in induism and buddism .

All the money that I work so hard to earn (and don't have time to spend) is given to my children yet why they are crying?

 

[Yusaku Jon 3]

As amar_kun said, I think your soul will be immortal. The body may decay and you may leave this world of the living, but our souls will carry with them the totality of our memories and personalities. Depending on how we lived our lives and the strength of our beliefs, we'll either rise into Heaven or be pulled down into Hell. Whichever way we may be looking at it, I think it's basically the same for all religions.

However, for some of us who've neither been saints nor wholly gone over to evil, we may find ourselves lingering for a while until we're able to let go of whatever keeps us tied down here. Some of it might be how we hear about ghosts (as in the Japanese sense). Others might be people who're going through a 'limbo' phase in the afterlife, which Catholic Christians could call Purgatory.
