What happens when you die?

Answer 1

You're no longer living

Answer 2

You are released from the physical world and are sent to the first level of heaven. This level resembles earth the most b/c it helps souls feel more at home when they might feel in disbelief. Here they can man infest all there earthly desires. Believe it or not this is the lowest level of heaven.

Once you get bored and live it out you move on to higher realms were you look back at the previous life to evaluate what was learned. You spend years visiting loved ones both deceased and on earth.

Eventually you choose your new life. Depending on what you believe you need to learn next, you choose your next life. To learn dependance on other others, you may choose a life were you are physically or mentally disabled. To learn morality you will choose a life were morality is a constant theme. The more lives you spend on earth the more wisdom you gain. This is your specifies reason to be on earth.

Many times you will choose a life with the same people from a previous life. They take the same rolls, but in different ways. For ex a immature, father who acts more like a friend than a father, might have actually been a friend in a previous life.


There is also the possibility of going to hell. A fiery place with demands and pitch forks is actually not quite what hell is. That was a depiction that was taken from artists during the renaissance period.

In fact hell resembles the moon. Its dark, cold and seems life less. Those who did wrong in life ARE NOT there b/c of punishment, but rather guilt. They return to the spirit world and re connect to the wisdom they had lost when put in their last life.

Its kinda like waking from a dream and thinking, "wow how could I have thought that was real. It was as unreal as a dream usually is."

You wake up and feel horrible for what you did. Like in the lowest realm of heaven you manifest what you feel. So if you feel guilty. You body will rot as if its dead. It is perhaps the worst existence. One can leave hell if a loved one from heaven comes to get them out.

That loved one can be trapped in hell with you though. Fortunately, it is the desire of god to release EVERY one from hell before restarting life on earth. In the end all will be saved.


The last and leased likely thing to happen is to be on earth. Those who are atheist, or VERY religious you may not move on after death. They may be looking for some thing that’s not there. Some thing their religion told them would be there. Or be in such disbelief they don’t move on. Some who were in traumatic death also may get stuck.

Answer 3

Reading your Bible helps. The Lord said, it is like falling to sleep. You know not when the day, the hour, the minute or second it will come, when your number is called from above you will fall asleep never to awake on this earth again. You will never know it came until judgment day. I had major surgery surgery in July of this year. My surgeon said I would be put down deep in
a coma like state. I was out cold, did not move, could not move and slept until it was time to be awake again. Death is similar.

Answer 4

Nobody is scientifically really sure. This answer will surely be incomplete.

What we know is that when your brain doesn't get oxygen you will experience halucinations (tunnel vision, "floating") and similar experiences. Many people close to death who are revived report similar experiences as do pilots and astronauts and other people in extreme circumstances.

Spiritually as humans, death is one of the universal experiences of humanity and as such, has a profound impact on those who survive the loss of a loved one(s) and may also affect the person dying profoundly in any number of ways from grim or peaceful acceptance, determination, resistance or courage in fighting (such as in a disease or injury).

Generally people try to reconnect and come to peace with their family , friends etc. This is often considered by both those dying and those surviving a critical aspect of recovering emotionally.

Every human culture and in fact some non-human cultures (dolphins, whales, chimps, great apes, some birds and elephants) to name a few , all experience and remember the loss of close members of the tribe/group whatever in different ways. Many pet owners would say that would say this experience extends to our domestic animals as well (dogs, cats , birds etc).
Some animals (elephants notably) are even reported to have developed ritualistic behaviors around death.

Over 90% of humanity believe in a form of diety of God or in a spiritual system, basically there are two kinds of religions.

About 2/3rds believe in a system of life after death - where "you" are judged on how you lived your life (typically good or bad) or according to some traditional rules of behavior. Those who are "good" typically end up in some form of paradise in communion with their diety. Those who are "bad" typically end up in some form of pennance or area out of communion with their diety. (see Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Monotheism, Zoroastrianism).

About 1/4 believe in some form of reincarnation where your soul or essence become one with the living universe or some variant thereof, again there may or may not be a judgement based on your deeds. Typically this does not involve a diety but a concept called karma (see Hinduism/Budhism/Shinto), these belief systems tend to be generally less judgemental than the 1st group and focus on spirituality/philosophical concepts such as yin/yang or everlasting continuity etc.

The rest fall into some category either being Atheists (God does not exist), Agnostics (maybe there's a distant uninvolved God) or some other category not generally described (See Atheism, Agnosticism, Animisim, Ancestor Worship, Polytheism).

The experience of death itself has been the subject of much psychological investigation, for instance - those with terminal illness often choose to prepare themselves and their familes for their eventual death. This is often very helpful for the survivors as well as helping the terminal person to emotionally adjust.

Sudden death and certainly violent deaths are almost universally considered traumatic for the survivors in some cultures it is considered "honorable" or otherwise socially acceptable to "die in combat" or "die honorably" etc. (see warrior ethics/samurai code).

Answer 5

Your body returns to dust, and your soul will rest in sheol, or hell, until the day of judgement. Those deemed worthy of paradise will be risen back to our earth, which will then be zion, or paradise. THose deemed unworthy will be destroyed and no longer exist.

Answer 6

Nothing. You're dead. No heaven, no hell. Nothing. You're life on Earth is completed. You've had no purpose other than to continue the evolutionary cycle.
