I rather like C.S. Lewis's idea in the Great Divorce...
I think we will be given one last chance, and some will say no.
Simply because as a Christian I believe that God is omnipotent, and will give us every chance.

I believe our phase called life is just a training phase. Some of us learn the best of lessons, others pick up the worse influence. I am an atheist and I believe tidbits of some religions [my dad said to learn what you think is proper from each religion]. So when we die in this phase, we go onto a world where everything is even harder and we have to use the learned lessons to survive. And whatever happens in that world happens. I believe that a reason why we can't stop time now and pause our lives to understand what's going on because only the people who are willing will be able to figure out what they need to learn. This is just my opinion. I am an odd odd person with bizarre thoughts. xD

Deep inside you must have something you long to complete or accomplish(something that will make you feel complete) before your life is complete, so that when that time comes you will not be left wondering what may happen when a person dies, but left feeling that the only thingleft to do is go somewhere new. Your spirit has evolved. Aside from this I think that Death is something that makes more sense as life goes on. All in all do not lie on your deathbed filled with regret. LIVE and know that you are alive.

I think our life will be no difference like when we are having our dreams.
Dreams is a place where we don't have anything that belongs to us, no need to eat and no need to take a rest. we might don't have 100% of our control anymore.
Maybe, just like having a nightmare we might stuck with the actual event that has happens before (by this time we became a ghost) and trapped in the earth.

I think that when your body dies, your soul goes to Heaven. Heaven to me is something like "What Dreams May Come" -- an amazing movie starring Robin Williams. Rent it! It shows Heaven! & Hell! Brilliant concepts for both I thought! Anyway, Heaven to me is a beautiful place. A perfect place & when I get there I will be greeted by my loved ones that have passed away & we will live together for eternity never to be separated again. Heaven to me is like a sweet dream (one where you can fly, one where you feel happy & you don't ever want to wake up) that never ever ends. You feel happy all the time. All the things that you loved will be there. I think it's individual. If you liked the mountains then there will be mountains in your Heaven. If you like cats there will be cats everywhere! I believe we help to create our own Heaven & Hell. It's a personal thing. We don't all have the same concept of beauty or happiness so our Heaven will be unique to our own soul's desires.

well. it is impossible for things that exist to change from existing to non existence. this is because, within existence, everything is connected, everything everywhere is existing in the same medium of spacetime. we are all interwoven with each other. now, to go from existence to nonexistence means that there would be a connection to existence to nonexistence, which makes no sense given their definition. well, now... with this you can see that since your consciousness exists, it cant just turn into nothing because consciousness is also connected to existence. since consciousness is the personification of the Universe, or even better EXISTENCE, or the subjective reality, when one subjective reality seems to end, it simply moves on into some other subjective reality dependent on any given persons particular mindset. so, a person that understands its connection to the universe more, will go in some higher state of being. an evil person, does not understand their connection to the universe, therefore, they might go through this life again, or downgrade to lets say. a dog, who has little understanding of the universe.

Hell isn't a similar for each individual, whether it is hell none the fewer for people who finally end up there. the continual rejection of the certainty together as residing right here on the earth, and the various volume to which each is going of their rejection, interprets into continual remorseful approximately and resentment, bitterness, anger, and hatred fixed in utter dense and eternal darkness.

You sleep til the time of Jesus return, at which time those living and trusting him and those who died trusting him and who have been raised again, judge God's righteousness in His judgement of man. It will take 1000 years and when all understand His judgment and have declared Him righteous the dead who did not trust in Him will be raised, judged, and sentence carried out. Then the earth will be made new, and the faithful will populate it.

Every pain in your soul unravels to ecstasy and the pain in the Spirit ceases. All things become something external to consciousness; consciousness is no longer self consciousness.
