Some say that once the brain dies the consious state seperates and awareness goes leaving nothing but just energy. Some believe the heaven thing. Do you think we still know who we are? Do you think we may refilter through to create another life(rencarnation)?

We'll never know. And what's the point of knowing anyways? If you know you go to an afterlife paradise like heaven... won't you just kill yourself? If you know that you would go into another life, like reincarnation... you'll still forget everything you know now, so you wouldn't know that you've been through reincarnation in your new life... what do you know? This life may be your five thousandth reincarnation... what's the point of knowing if you'll forget in your new life?
These kind of questions are just there to let us ponder... let us know that we'll never know... yet still ponder...

The Christian bible tells us that God breathed life into the man he formed from clay and man became a living soul. LIVING! So what was he before that? He wasn't a living soul that's for sure. So when the breath leaves the body humans go to sleep. Jesus said, "Lazarus sleeps" when the people wanted him to go to Lazarus. But Jesus brought him back to life. Why would Jesus bring him back from paradise to live in a world filled with sin? That would be a mean trick. Why would Jesus come back for those in the grave if their souls were already with him?
Those things tell me that when we die we go to sleep. We don't know anything.
Ecclesiastes 9:5
New International Version (NIV)
5 For the living know that they will die,
but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
and even the memory of them is forgotten.
Except for a few notable people who made a mark in history, the dead are forgotten. This doesn't mean they aren't precious in God's eyes, it just means the general public several hundred years later has no knowledge of them. Except for the markers on the grave. There they lay waiting to be resurrected. I don't think that's so bad. After a tough time on this earth most folks are ready for a rest....

if your nefesh(animal flesh) dies your casper recording device(which resembles your previous image in a ghost form) is released. and normaly for most folks you go to the storage place where you casper enters a state of sleep, untill it is time for you to be either resurrected or reincarnated, according to the judgement. but typicialy you get three to four resurrections. and very, very, very few get an invitation to Heaven of Heavens. or to get an audience with G-D. and the most you can be expected to be returned is three to four times in a Torah Cycle. but most are waiting for the next Cycle. when you are returned in the exact same set of conditions and time as before, if you failed in your lifetime. in other words if you were born during wwii you shall again be returned at this time, in the same family as before. but of course there is another place worse than this one. but we won't talk about that one. cause i don't realy like people to know i have actualy been there. but the only way your casper can be destroyed is if G-D commands it into the fire. and then well, you just don't ever exist again. one of the rewards of being an athiest by choice, too many times.

I definitely believe that the soul lives on for eternity. After you die, you'll either spend eternity with God, or without God. It all depends on whether you are saved by God's grace. Anyone can be. It's a free gift. You just have to accept it.

Nothing happens. We just loose consciousness and everything goes blank. I think living an eternity in heaven would be hell. Wouldn't you just get board after a while.

The soul separates from the body and it goes to heaven or hell defending on what you did before dying.

We are immediately given a life at the bottom of the food chain, serving creatures much smaller than ourselves.

I'll have to opt for the Heaven thing...for me it's the only option that makes sense.

well of course i beleive in heaven but is heaven above space? i just dont get it. but i think we spend a few years in heaven and then get to be ghosts. or get to be ghosts for a few years and go to heaven. maybe you get a choice. either way works for me.

Nope. Like any animal species, we die and our body decays. End of story. Enjoy the life you have, you won't have another.
