What changes when we go from life to death?

There is nothing but energy. It is invisible and spiritual and vibrates or oscillates at a very rapid frequency. This we have defined as spiritual. As the vibrating energy slows down in vibrating frequency it becomes tangible and is experienced visually and physically. This is the creation. The Christian and Judaic tradition informs us that God spoke everything into being. His words which are invisible (spirit) caused the creation of the physical world which we experience through sound, sight, smell, touch, and taste.
When we die the spiritual energy which we are composed of, returns to its original state of very rapid oscillation and vibratory frequencies, and consequently, out of our normal field of experiences.

It's the spirit of life that Jehovah God gives, and not a soul within us as Genesis 2:7 says that man IS A LIVING SOUL ( not yelling, emphasizing). And when we die that spirit returns to the true God who gave it. It can be compared to the electricity that operates a toaster, when you unplug the toaster it stops operating, but yet the electricity that animated the toaster does not take on the form of the toaster, it is the same with the spirit that animates us, it is nothing like us when it returns to God, it is just our life force, this is true of all living creatures that Jehovah God created, that is why God knows when even a tiny Sparrow falls to the ground, because it's life force or spirit returns to God and God knows that it had died. Read Ecclesiastes 3:13-22. Ecclesiastes 12:7,8 If you don't believe in God, why are you here instead of in the science forum? To whoever is thumbing down answers concerning God.

The body as an organism of billions of smaller cells ceases it's most obvious form of life, us as we know ourselves, but the individual cells that make us up take longer to die and if left to nature we would nourish many other forms of life from insects and animals to plants and go on living in another sense.
Who we are, the essence or energy we claim as ourselves, if it continues could be any number of things. We could simply be part of a bigger energy source and rejoin that source, we could maintain our individuality and be angels or ghosts, our soul could go to heaven or hell. We could just go out like a light.
None of us really know and many will tell you they do, it is the ultimate mystery, and we all will eventually get the answer...which could be different for each of us...

Generally, in complex animals, we go by brain activity. Much of the organisms that make up your body are still very much alive for quite a while after what we would pronounce as death.

..The same thing as everything else. This is why it's a fact humans are no different from any other living thing. All which lives is born to die...We are alive and conscious just like other animals.
That breath of life is in us all.
It's universal consciousness, something we are fortunate enough to experience for a short time....
and when our time is up and our vessels are used up, that breath of life waits to animate another....

The anima and animus.
We leave the flesh, but we still operate from a 'form' composed of thought.

Well people die for different reasons but in general what keeps a person alive is the body's ability to regulate and maintain certain chemical balances.

No more impulses from the brain. But let's use an analogy. Imagine you were a computer and your brain the software:
Events stop firing (brain impulses)
Hardware seems frozen (no pulse signs of life)
Blue screen of death (decay)
Reboot (reincarnation)

When you die, your Spirit and Soul exits your body. You see the core of who we are as individuals, is in our Spirit and Soul. Once that's gone it's just your flesh, you shall return from whence you came: Dust.
