Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).
The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)
The Bible describes three hells.
SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL
TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.
THE THREE HEAVENS
There's 3 heavens.
First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)
Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)
Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)
THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =
DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."
REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."
The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =
AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.
SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---
ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"
ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"
JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4
WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30
BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8
MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

We will be in the place of our dreams forever. Everything we wished was in this world would be there and everything we despised would not. The people we loved and the pets we lost and the most beautiful scenery we enjoyed in this life would all be there for us. No pain. No suffering. It will be so Garden of Edenish!
Best thing is, as it is all based on energy atoms, our pets, our parents and all else inhabiting our after death paradise can be there and also elsewhere at the same time too - sharing their spiritual energy with others. And as we become accustomed to this beautiful new life, we will also have the power to spread our energy into different places without ever leaving our personal paradise.
We can watch over loved ones left behind. We can visit other spiritual worlds. We can use our perfect energy in so many worlds.
We can even come back and be born again if there is a matter that is bothering us, but I doubt many of us would do that!
Sometimes we have to though.
It is a beautiful dreamworld, whatever you want is there for you as long as it is pure.
Suicides might be different though, so don't try this at home!

We are the Soul and not the body. The Soul vacates the body when the body is no longer habitable either due to old age, disease or severe mutilation. When a body no longer has a Soul to animate it, the body is said to be dead.
What exactly happens to the Soul once it leaves a body varies from person to person based on their merits. Some Souls go into a deep slumber. When they finally awake, they find themselves within a new body and then they gradually forget their past life. Some Souls are cognizant and do not go into a deep sleep. They can enjoy their freedom for a time before they too return back to inhabit a new physical body. All this takes place in a different plane of existence on different planets.
Some people can consciously exit and re-enter the physical body at will. This is called astral projection.
This continuous chain of reincarnation ends only when the Soul discovers its true divine potential and is no longer attracted to material pleasures.

remember 1708? No? Well thats what it will be like. Just like not being born - only it will last an awful lot longer.
The only way to achieve immortality is to leave something behind that will last forever. Very few people are immortal. By virtue of the fact that we still know of them, and we are still interested in their achievements, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Hannibal have probably become immortal. Who from the modern world will achieve immortality is a question we will never know the answer to because we will all be dead by the time they make it ( but I strongly suspect Napoleon will be amongst them)

The only way I can get my head round this is that it must be like when you go to sleep. You become in some trance like state, with everything still going on around you but you are totally oblivious to everything. Its no good thinking Oh i'll miss my mates & going to the match and such 'normal' things because you will be in a state of not knowing anything at all..... no senses , no emotions, no feelings, no pain, no hunger ..... just nothing. Where you 'go' to is another matter entirely

Lots of people from all over the world during the course of time since the early days, have reported out of body experiences, near death moments, etc...
I've read stories of people who were non-religious become converted instantly after what happened to them in their near death experience.
Because of these experiences, I believe there is life after death.
The reason most people don't believe in it, is because truthfully, our minds can't comprehend more than our little world.
Think about it, if you were an ant, could you possibly have the brain capacity to figure out that there was such things as humans walking around earth, erecting skyscrapers, flying into space, and traveling at the speed of light?
An ant couldn't possibly fathom that....just as we cannot possibly fathom another dimension other than ours.

Death has worried generations of men down centuries and has given livelihood to generations of priests. Why don't we stop worrying about it and start thinking about how we live. Can we live without harming others, humans animals plants environment... If you are really serious about it there are books on what they call near death syndrome (NDS) where you may find some clues. All the Best. Do LIVE

I don't devote too much time to thinking what it's going to feel like being digested by worms.
Or turned to ash.
Or feeding the fishes.
Just get on with living the life I've got, in the full knowledge that one day I won't be here, and a little while later, non of the people I shared my life with will be here either.
And life goes on. (just without me).
We have sense and feeling for a short while, why waste it on wondering what it's like not to have it any more?

Why don't you try it and give me a call and tell me how it is. I am in no hurry to die, i have many years left in front of me, when it happens i guess I'll find out but until then i try not to think about it, their are more pressing things on my mind, like did i leave the waffle iron on or not.

That's true the only two certainities in life we will pay taxes and we will die. I like to believe that our soul lives on, that the ones that we loved so in life watch over us in their death. It gives life a meaning and i do believe that it makes us better people.
