What do *you* think that is beyond death?

Question

what *you* think not what your religion says.
p.s. don`t tell me that nobody knows exactly, use your imagination...

if you don`t want to imagine then why did you answer this question?
p.s. for those who answer from "atheistic point of view" it would be kind of nice to just die.. ;)

pachequito why do you use the bible to prove your disagreament for christianity? i asked you to tell me what you think it is there, i didn`t asked if you agree with one particulary religion or not.

Answer 1

I know for sure because my guardian angel told me…

I’ll be sent to some dark and distant realm (aka another universe), to hunt down and destroy certain renegade demons who delight in disrupting harmony (time-space). He said: “These beings are evil beyond imagination, and even we angels could not deal with their ugliness, but some of you humans who are half-breeds will be able to use your evil side to see them, and slay them.” And then he went on about all these strange weapons and inter-universal transport systems. Well who am I to argue, and besides, someone has to do the dirty work, and I don’t see the Christians lining up, so I’m happy to comply.

Answer 2

I believe that if you are bad, you go to a massive world of caverns and fiery flames to be cleansed of your sins. Once your sins have been cleaned you are drawn from the flames and taken up to the place where you go initially if you're good. This place is a magnificent garden where all the deceased live in peace and harmony with the creatures that have died, all in the garden. Beautiful streams, magnificent lush flowers, flowing bridges, and the sweet smell with birds singing. Beyond the garden there is a magnificent city, which surrounds a magnificent palace where Jesus sits at his throne. Around this palace are magnificent marble stone buildings in a wonderful, sunny neighborhood where the deceased live. They can get anything they want here for free, as in the kingdom of God there is no need for money. Beyond the city and gardens there is a endless expanse of beautiful terrain that holds all of God's wild creatures, whether from Earth or not. There is also a gazebo within the garden which people can use to go to any time, any place, any dimension, any reality to watch and observe the world unnoticed. If you go to the place that you have a strong emotional attachment to, you appear as a ghost.
Here you live in eternal peace. This world is so fast that even over an eternity you will not be done exploring.

Sounds nice, doesn't it (except the first part).

Answer 3

Absolutely nothing. You are nothing more than the sum of your parts - your brain is the base for your consciousness and your physical systems (circulatory, nervous, etc.) keep you alive. If any of these systems ceases to function properly to the extent that you can no longer survive, your body dies, and your consciousness dies along with it. There is no "soul" that survives outside the brain, so when the brain is gone, so are you. The brain itself is what captures the essence of a person. Theoretically, if person A's brain was transferred into a machine that had all the requisite capabilities to allow it to function as a human, person A's previous body would be no more than a shell, and the machine would then be person A. The brain holds memory, personality, etc. that are the composite of a person - obviously everyone is molded by external and internal factors, but the base consciousness is solely dependent upon the brain. Once the brain is completely dead, the person is completely dead.

Answer 4

I am totally convinced that life is the sum of all that you believe regardless of its origins. The process begins with an unanswerable question. This invokes the imagination which calls upon temporary memory storage areas developed in conjunction with this material body to store sensory data. This imagination is questioned and attempts are made to align a personal imagination with those of others around you creating your "religion." The main pursuit is to ensure that your imagination is logical. My imagination is based upon these two truths. I cannot remember ever not being alive. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be dead. Therefore, my logical deduction would be to believe that it is impossible for me to die. That does not mean that my sensual body will not cease to function, it will. It only means that my interpretation of existance will change. Before you begin to wonder... Yes, I am a follower of the Word of God, Jesus, truth, Logos. However, you want to imagine it will be your future. I am totally aware of mine.

Answer 5

Eternal Life in Eternity -

In the height of heaven (Job 22:12), in the third heaven (2 Cor.12:2) God inhabits eternity (Isa.57:15) and dwells in Zion (Joel 3:21, Ps.23:6), the city of the living God (Heb.12:22).

Christ chose us (the church of God – 1 Cor.10:32) before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph.1:4): and He gave those He chose eternal life (Jn.10:28-29, Jn.3:36, Jn.17:2).

Having been given eternal life, we in Christ Jesus are passed from death unto life (Jn.5:24), never to die, to live with God in Eternity (Isa.57:15), in His kingdom (Dan.7:18, Dan.7:22), an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled that does not fade away (1 Pe.1:3-4).

We are of the household of God (Eph.2:19).

Answer 6

Probably nothing, but if there is something, I think that maybe you go into something like a dream state. Like an altered state of conciousness very different from what we're used to, and it could be a very positive or very negative thing depending on how you lived your life. Of course, I base that on absolutely nothing, but I do intuitively feel that it may be close to the truth.

Answer 7

I use science for this. Since we as people are in essence made of energy and energy can't be destroyed it is merely dispersed into the surroundings. I think the world as we see it is an illusion and when we "die" we just start life in another realm that we can't comprehend because our brains are very limited. Remember we only use 8% of our brain. I think dreams might be similiar to what its like.

Answer 8

I don't think we are born in the first place, so I don't think there is anything that dies. It appears to be just consciousness continuing without a specific memory carried over.

Answer 9

The Bible explains the condition of the dead. Ecclesiastes 9:5 states: “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”

Answer 10

Don't know. Not particularly worried about it. Death is a natural part of life. It's just the way things are.
