Alright, so I know that Chopra asked almost the same thing as this, but that was based on the idea that we even have souls in the first place. As I do not believe in God and support a belief in the elements, I ask a simpler question. I'm more interested to hear what people think than actually asking, as I am pretty sure I have my own answer from over four life-threatening experiences. I am not refering specifically to a soul or anything of the sort, simply asking for you to answer based on atheist or religious terms. You may very well answer that nothing happens... but no one can tell me I'm small minded now, because I'm open to everything.

After you die...some plp dont even want to think about it. Since you dont believe in God (I dont either) Have you ever played KIngdom Hearts? If not it's about finding what your heart would be. Even if your heart was full of darkness it would be like dieing...for you would turn into a nobody and a heartless. But if your heart was full of Light you would live. For those who have already beat Kingdom Hearts you would know that most people are good and bad at times. What u are MOST of the time is what it's based on. Lot's of plp are full of darkness. But also full of light. If you die to me would mean you turning into a heartless, but if u where determined to live then your heart would conquer that darkeness and make it Light.

We are not these bodies,ie; Race, color, religion, nantionality, mind, senses, intellect, job, etc. We are eternal spirit souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Soul, also known as Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. This world is not our real home, it is called Maya (illusion) and is temporary and full of misery. What ever one thinks of at the time of death they are sure to attain. One has to understand karma and Reincarnation to understand where one goes in thier next life. The Vedic knowledge says one should prepare for the time of death so they can attain thier supreme destination, beyond this material illusion in the blissful spiritual abode, otherwise one will keep coming back to this miserable place of repeated birth, death ,old age and disease. The quickest and easiest way for self realization and to attain the best position after this life, is to chant the Maha Mantra go to krishnaculture. for details, read Bhagavad Gita As it is By Bhaktivedanta which gives the purpose of human life.

It's glue, seriously! We are often taught to think we are a sack of bones and cells with a separate soul inside but I believe otherwise. I think all energy in the universe is part of the same Cosmic Glue. In a similar vein, when you die nothing happens to you, it's just your goo glue moving on.

I think that we continue to exist but our personalities and memories are obliterated. It is a different type of existence. Its like you know you exist because you can sense your presence but at the same time you dont have a personality or identity. Its very much like what decarte meant when he said "And therefore i am." He was just trying to prove the mere fact that he exists based on the fact that he can doubt his existence and the fact that he feels existing.

as quickly as I die, others will nevertheless be alive getting on with their lives. in line with risk i might prefer to think of a few might mourn my dying, yet that relies upon on what I did in existence. as quickly as I die, I would be not extra, so I heavily isn't conscious and subsequently I heavily isn't able to be attentive to what happens following my dying. So there is not any factor stressful approximately it.

Well, this is a rather unique question. For starters, i have a question too. I have no clue why some people feel threatened when you ask them this question. I find death as something that we cannot avoid, and we have to pass through. It remains a mystery that we must wait upon, i guess.

You probably will just not exist anymore. And its not like you will me missing anything, think about it. Has anyone complained about missing out on the millions of years of life before they were born? Nope, so it won't matter when you die.

a body is alive because it is under the state of equilibrium of the positiove and negative energy. the body looses life if it fails to maintain its balance.
Like einstein formulated. energy nor created nor destroyed it only transform into another kind.
So your body will just traansform into another kind. your energy of presence will transform as well.

I hope that you don't keep repeating the same life, over and over. Maybe you go to a Chinese restaurant or a bowling alley.
