What will happen when you die?do you sleep forever or enter a new world?

Answer 1

Reincarnation

Answer 2

You will cease to exist. Any notion of continuing to exist after your death necessitates the existence of a part of you that is somehow immortal. People who believe in such things generally call this a 'soul'.

What exactly do you think a soul is? What properties does it have? What part of 'you' resides in the soul?

If it's postulated that consciousness, or awareness, or sense of self resides in the soul, it's difficult to see how this can be reconciled with the complete oblivion which accompanies general anaesthesia. How could a straightforward chemical, injected into the bloodstream, anaesthetise a soul so that it effectively ceases to exist during this time? If consciousness, in the form of a soul, were some kind of supernatural faculty, it would seem implausible that it could be completely disabled by a chemical.

How about some of the other things which we regard as essential parts of what makes a person what they are? How about love, compassion, reason, empathy, memory, conscious thought, character, 'spirituality' and so on? Well, there is really no plausible doubt that all these things are properties of the physical brain - We can alter all of these properties very simply with alcohol or other drugs, and observe how they change in people who have suffered significant brain damage. Previously placid people become uncontrollably violent, intelligent people become imbeciles, and so on. Stimulate the brain artificially, and the subject reports corresponding mental activity, e.g. 'religious experiences'. We can see from brain research that all these things - thought, emotion, sensation, character traits and so on - are correlated with activity in the brain, and some things can be identified with specific areas of the brain.

So, if all these faculties and characteristics of what we regard as the 'person' reside in the physical brain, as seems to be undeniably the case, and they all cease when the person dies, then what is left to be attributed to a 'soul'? As far as I can ascertain: Nothing. If there is no part of us that can continue after death, then there is no 'afterlife'... and if there is no afterlife, then most of religion is null and void.

Answer 3

You go back to dust. Christ said that his friend Lazarus was sleeping. What is interesting about the account of Lazarus, when he was resurrected he didn't tell anyone about how "hot" hell is or how glorious heaven was. Also, Jesus didn't go up in heaven or go down in hell to get Lazarus, he simply told him to "come on out". This event helps us to appreciate that when we die, we cease to exist. As the bible plainly writes:

For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

Answer 4

I think it must be like slipping into a dream, a deep sleep. It's hard to imagine that it would be different than that. I think that is what creates your heaven or hell--what kind of mindset you have. If you have a lot of guilt for bad things you've done, then your dreams will be tortured, but if you live well and follow the golden rule, you probably will go to sleep with pleasant dreams forever.

Answer 5

It is interesting that you post this question on a dream site. Maybe you sense that the dreamer is not the body, but a living entity inside the body that uses it in much the same way as we use a car for instance. The first evidence in support of such a view is that we have many dreams in which we drive a car and then find that in waking we are in control of our life, we know where we are going. On the other hand when we dream that we are in the back-seat we will in waking life behave like back-seat drivers. Another item the dream identifies us with is the house. It has been discovered that when we dream that there is something wrong with our house such as a plumbing problem, there will be something wrong with our urinary tract for instance. This and the car analogy show that the dream regards our human body as our house, our housing or our vehicle with which we go through life. This notion has been underpinned by the Near Death Experience (NDE) for which there our thousands of testimonials. When our body is about to die as it happens often on the operating table in hospitals, the soul or spirit leaves the body and hovers just below the ceiling. The sceptics argue that this experience is fabricated by the dying mind. This has now been fully refuted by the Pam Reynolds case which demonstrated once and for all that the body can be clinically dead, yet the ‘dead person’ will be conscious of everything that is happening on the operating table. In the Pam Reynolds case the woman was clinically dead for 90 minutes. There was no pulse, no heartbeat, no brainwaves. There was total flat line and no brain wave activity was recorded on the electroencephalograph. Yet after the operation, during which the patient’s temperature had been reduced to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and the blood drained, the patient’s etheric body or soul or spirit returned to the body. Pam noted that returning to the body was like plunging into a pool of ice! Then, after the operation she amazed all the doctors and staff with an accurate description of what had been done to her. She also described the electric saw that had been used to open her head which was of a totally new design; much like an electric toothbrush, as the patient noted. This case shows all the sceptics that it was not the brain that manufactured what she saw, but that the etheric body or soul watched it all and was able to remember it and report it. With this in mind we can now go to the researches by the Australian hypnotist Peter Ramster. He studied many cases of reincarnation. The most impressive case he described was that of Mandy I and Mandy II. A girl in England was killed in an accident and then buried. About 10 months later the parents of Mandy had another girl which they also called Mandy. When Mandy II was between two and three years old she said that she was buried in the nearby cemetery. The parents, in total disbelief took her to the cemetery asking the girl to show her grave. She went straight to it. Of course she was unable to read the grave stone, yet she pointed at the exact grave where Mandy I had been interred. In addition to this Mandy II said that on the day of the funeral it had been raining and that mother had slipped and almost fell into the grave. As well as that she said that her little cousin had slipped a ball into her coffin; this was later confirmed by the cousin since the parents did not know this and would at first not believe it. Now we come to the question if we see our loved ones again; or indeed Jesus and angels. There are a host of NDE patients who have testified that they met their deceased loved ones. Others come to an unearthly garden where they are filled with feelings of bliss and see a wonderful light. Some will see this light as they travel through a dark tunnel. And when they come close to the source of the light they are often met with a spirit guide or they hear a voice that tells them that it is not yet time to stay and that they have to return to earth. Christians will see angels or Jesus, while Buddhists will meet Buddha and so on. In other words you will go to a ‘place’ or rather a state that is a direct continuation of your earthly life. This is in keeping with our earthly existence where we may have a life in different countries and under different circumstances. What is the most common experience however is the light. This makes the spirit of the deceased ecstatically happy. However there are also unpleasant transitions where the dying person is experiencing torment and pain. Again this is according to the person’s present state of enlightenment and predisposition. A very common result of NDE’s is that those who have ‘died’ and come back to earth have lost their fear of death. This is only logical for they now know that there is NO DEATH of the spirit, but only of the body.

Answer 8

How could anyone possibly answer this question. I mean, if you're alive, how would it be possible to know what happens when you die.

Unless you've had a near-death expierience. In which case you would have to ask that person.

Answer 9

We will have to wait to die to know.
Only I can say is that we are energy, and the energy is transform, never destroyed, so, I think that when we die, we pass to another form of energy...
