Good question. My uncle wanted to go home when he died and he did for 2 years after his death. My father stopped by to explain things to his granddaughter after he died, but hasn't been seen since.
What I know is there is existence after death and we still have free will. Where we go and what we do is still a mystery I'm looking forward to solving when my turn comes. Death is not an end, but a new beginning.

You do one of two things.
1.) You just desinigrate and do nothing like every other animal. What make humans so special where we get to go to heavan, and all that other fancy stuff.
2.) You go to heavan and follow your religion and believe what you where brought up to believe. Either go to heavan or hell or get 77 virgins or what ever they say.
I preffer number one becuase it makes more sense and doesn't sound like some guy thought it would be cool to think that we do something when we die. On the other hand why have people thought life after death since before humans?

I guess that is a matter of your person faith. Some say Heaven, some say Hell, others Summerland or Nirvana. Others say we are reincarnated. Some say we just stop being. I guess it is up to you to find the answer that you want to believe in.
Personally I feel our energy mixes with the energy of all that was and all that will be. Some of it comes back in the form of a new person and some of it remains behind. Kind of akin to pouring colored water into clear water, it spreads out but not evenly, and when a new person is born an amount of water is taken for their soul or spirit. It will have some of the "color" of those that came before.

in my opinion, at least scientifically, your emotions and brain, all your memories, you just stop thinking, no dreams nothing, like your body has shut down in order to have an eternal sleep. but there is also, the belief in heaven and hell, and ghosts. right now, there is not strong proof of the paranormal, but i am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. as for heaven and hell, they are still possible. so i stated my opinion and then my beliefs on the paranormal. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

That is a question that has so many different beliefs but there is one that we all believe. Go to a grave yard and we can be sure all the dead are there.

I sincerely believe that we go up one dimension, probably the one where time is directed any way you need it and time travelling is possible like travelling from one city to another. So we can just choose a time period we want to visit and go there for the next life. Or maybe spend a 'vacation' at home, without 'downgrading' to this puny 3D world...
Well, at least that's what I would like my afterlife to be.

I don't know, but I guess that I will find out when it happens, hopefully not for a long time yet.

No one knows the answer to this question because we aren't dead.
