What happens after we die?

Answer 1

My energy will be recycled and spread amongst the vast universe. Where it will be harvested and brought back to my home planet of T^Ire for re-constitution.

Answer 2

Since there is no way of knowing for sure, it all depends on what you believe.

Most humanistic branches of philosophy dismiss life after death, and holds that the human experience of life (consciousness and our 'being in' the world), is bound to the functioning of the physical body. I.e. there exists no such thing as a soul that is somehow separate from the physical body. When you die, you are no more. Brain activity seizes and your body begins to decompose. (Not that it will bother you, because you wouldn't know it.)

On the other hand, most monotheistic religions (such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism) hold that there exists a spiritual realm called "Heaven" (and its antithesis "Hell") where the soul goes after death.

Polytheistic religions such as Hinduism believe in reincarnation where the soul is born again into a higher realm of consciousness.

Finally I should note that there is a common misconception/assumption that not believing in the existence of an afterlife necessarily implies that life has no meaning. On the contrary, it could be argued that the realisation that life is finite provides a sense of appreciation for being alive, which implies urgency and the responsibility to make the most of one's life.

Answer 3

In your question, I would like to answer in two different aspects-
1. Biologically
2. Spiritually
1. Biologically: After our death, our body becomes a part of nature and microbes make it further simplier proteins and amino acids, which will again take place to make new organisms.
2. Spiritually: In this aspect, nobody can die. After death people remembers the dead person. If you will do something good and help your society, people will never forget you and after your death you will still live in their heart and mind. Who forgets Einstein, Alexandar or Columbus? They are still alive in our spirit.

Answer 4

As far as anyone has been able to prove, we simply stop existing.
....that 'life' is a product of the proper functioning of the organism.

...that when something catastrophic happens to the organism, such as 10 minutes without respiration in humans, the organizational structure of the organism fails...and thus the 'life' function that only exists when the organism maintains the requisite level of function and order, ceases to exist.

A fire, for instance is only a fire when all of the elements that make a fire possible are present: when the structural state of the local universe that supports that particular fire ceases to be maintained in the order that a fire's existence requires, that fire ceases to exist.

Answer 5

We can only make judgements on what we sense with our five senses. We can observe, measure, evaluate, record and otherwise prove the existence of something. Based on our senses, there is no afterlife. Because the bible says so or to rely on faith that it exists is not proof.

It's a dreary outlook on life which is why religion makes a dominant role in people's lives. It fills the emotional need that eases people into death. I would love to believe that i'll see my long dead relatives and live in a happy place for all eternity, but until there's proof, its just fanciful thinking. But that's just me, if you can believe in a distorted worldview, more power to you....it makes me envious.....

Answer 6

To die, to sleep--
No more--and by a sleep to day we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep--
To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at III, i)

Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
- William Shakespeare, Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at III, i)

Answer 7

The body does not die. It begins to decompose and eventually recycles into other life forms.

"Death" usually means "brain dead," and we lose conscious awareness, similar to when we are sleeping except we do not wake up.

Answer 8

We reunite with GOD. GOD is the very essence of unconditional LOVE and is ALL of creation. We are each a wave in the sea of the DIVINE. We will always reunite with the SOURCE. ALL is creation, ALL is ONE. Our spirits (always an individual wave) join in with the fun on high dimensions.We still learn, love and grow.

Answer 9

What happens when one is alive. The world continues on as usual.

Answer 10

Rotting comes to mind.

Seriously, do you think anybody really *knows* the answer to that one?

All you are going to get is a bunch of religious references.

Now what I *think* happens is our soul is released into where ever it is supposed to go.
