Imagine that you are in a cold, completely dark place, there is no sound, no movement, no other people...just nothingness...but your conscious thought is still intact so you are forced to know the extent of your aloneness. You do not even have God, because you turned your back on him and choose this hell of nothingness and gut wrenching, unending, loneliness.
That is my picture of hell.

I believe the "circles of hell" are Dante, not the Bible.
My view on what happens after we die is that we have to sort out what we have learned and decide on a next incarnation. Otherwise, if there's no more to learn, we go directly to nirvana without passing go or collecting $200.
It's the $200 that gets most of us: greed can tie you to the material plane faster than almost anything else, unless it is lust.

The Bible tells us that there is not only life after death, but eternal life so glorious that “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him” (1 Corinthians 2:9). Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came to the earth to give us this gift of eternal life. “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
Hell is described as a bottomless pit (Luke 8:31, Revelation 9:1), and a lake of fire, burning with sulfur, where the inhabitants will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Revelation 20:10). In hell, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, indicating intense grief and anger (Matthew 13:42). It is a place “where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out” (Mark 9:48). God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but desires them to turn from their wicked ways so that they can live (Ezekiel 33:11). But He will not force us into submission; if we choose to reject Him, He has little choice but to give us what we want – to live apart from Him.

When we die, we cease to exist.
We have no souls or spirits.
Our bodies rot away, as is the circle of life.
