Where do we go after we die ?

Question

what happens to us

Answer 1

We invented many things, discovered many many things and still continue to do so.
But this question we have not found out so far, but still continue to find answers, but faith teaches us many things and we continue to believe them as truth - until we find the real answer.

Answer 2

This probably isn't the answer you are hoping for, but you will go wherever you feel strongly for after death, what your personal views about an afterlife are.

This is a rather broad sbject which no one can tlel you with 100% certainty, as we actually have to die (and stay dead) to fully realise the answer. All we can do now is speculate.

Answer 3

I think that where, might be the wrong question.

Where, or a designated place within a space in a three dimensional reality is a requirement of a physical object. It is not a requirement for a purely spiritual being.

This is sort of like asking someone the gender of their toothbrush. The question just does not apply to the situation.

I can tell you that it seems to be very beautiful.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 4

You're asking to understand that which cannot be known until it is experienced.

Who's to say that we "go" anywhere? Maybe it is a transformation of both the physical body, the spirit, as well as the consciousness. Maybe Heaven/Hell or whatever your idea of the Hereafter resides right here. A dimension that in our current state we cannot perceive.

The Bible refers to our Father's house having many rooms. Maybe until death, we have only been able to reside in one of them.

Answer 5

Imagine we are on a boat offshore:

When you die, basically, you fall off the boat, and that's it!0!

Then you swim back to the boat(you are born) and that's it!0!

The rest of the time you're on the boat. Now, it's up to you to find out what the hck you're on this boat for!0!


Sapere aude!

Answer 6

The Nihil.

We don't "go" anywhere. We cease to be, in real terms. Everything that "was" us is destroyed and we become nothing.

Just as well really, as I'd totally lose it and freak out if I had to be conscious and aware for over a hundred years.
Complete dissolution is a mercy to those of us who don't "value" life.

Answer 7

Our individual consciousness, once free from the mortal body, returns to the nothingness of Consciousness; what it always was, just unbound once more. Read a biology book to find out what happens to our physical remains.

Answer 8

You are apparently under the impression that a "you" exists. If that you were simply a collection of molecules, where do you suppose it would go once it lost its "life," an expression that no one seems to be able to explain?

Answer 9

I think Heaven is only a fallacy thought up to comfort people about death.

And Hell is only used as a threat to keep people in line.

I think we just go into a hole in the ground and decompose.

Answer 10

I think most of us would like to believe that we go on to a "better life somewhere else?"

But sadly...I think we're buried...and our bones slowly dissolve back into the soil!

Of course...there are a few of us who believe we are reincarnated into trees, flowers or a family pet?
