The dead are incapable of talking, thinking or feeling. What does the Bible teach about what happens to us when we die?
Animals and people experience the same thing when they die as stated at Ecclesiates 3:19,20--"For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again."
Psalm 146:4--"His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
Eccl 9:5--"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." (This means that people still living cannot help those who die,they cannot reward them and eventually the memory of those who die are forgotten. They are not forgotten by God though for he holds all those who die in his memory and soon all will be resurrected back to life. The fact that we do not dwell on those who die is helpful so that death is not something thought about constantly, for if that were to happen, who could stand the pain of losing loved ones? God helps us to cope with our sadness this way. )
Eccl 9:10--"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."(This also helps us to see that the dead feel neither pain nor pleasure)
Psalm 6:5--"For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?"
Death is likened to being asleep. Psalm 13:3--"Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death."
I hope this helps you to see what the Bible teaches regarding the dead.

Such as ghosts and phantoms, they are merely nothing more than astral projections, Emotions create these entities that get trapped in the ether's and are held here by our own unwillingness to release them. Liner time holds no prejudice. I AM

We decompose, that's surely a chemical procedure and consequently the substitute of skill in form or yet another. in addition there is a few electric powered discharge with the middle and yet another discharge of varieties with the neurons, and so on. i do not trust there is a few thing metaphysical about it, though.

When a person dies, they no longer exist in any form, they return to the dust. We do not have an immortal soul or anything that survives death.

What other way could they exist, other than a state of energy??

other than an energy force? no. i do believe they can contact us and let us be aware of their presence. energy cannot be created or destroyed-it can only change form

No I do not believe that they are with us. As a Muslim, I believe that they are in their graves awaiting the Day of Judgement.
