What will happen when YOU die?

Answer 1

I'll see you in HeLL

Answer 2

I believe I am an immortal spirit, so I can't die. When the body I am currently inhabiting dies, I will most likely find another body. It'll probably be either an embrio or a newborn baby. I'm not sure if it will be human or even animal. Maybe it'll be a plant or a cloud.

My soul is another matter. I believe my soul will live on in the lives of those I have touched and in all the effects I have had on humanity and on the planet.

If I made life a living hell for others, that will increase the likelihood that I will be reborn into a living hell. If I helped to creat some heaven on Earth, I will have a better chance of being reborn into a kind of heaven.

Answer 3

My consciousness will ebb away into the non-frightening nothing I "experienced" before by birth, my body will decay and be returned to the bottom of the ecosystem and be reincorporated into a multitude of living organisms, some of them people, just as matter that was part of me but no longer is in the ecosystem elsewhere already, and I am composed of the same matter as long dead people and other organisms.

This new life will also die and undergo the same process as I for as long as there is life of Earth. Some would argue that this is no afterlife, but you can't get more lively than actual life! The matter of my current body will go through countless individuals and species, most of which do not yet exist, until the sun becomes a red giant, possibly engulfing the planet, perhaps letting it into a wider orbit. Eventually the sun will die, and a catastrophic event in the vicinity will destroy the sun's white dwarf remnant and the Earth's cinder, and scatter me and everyone else across the cosmos as a beautiful supernova.

And with a bit of luck, become a new planet orbiting a new star that might just develop life....

Answer 4

The same thing that will happen when YOU die!

Cessation of mental processes (thinking, emotion, consciousness) and associated chemical triggers (hormones, pain/pleasure, audio/visual/tactile stimulation), and over a longer period of time, decomposition of the physical components (organs, bones, tissues, cells.)

Many people believe in an indestructible identity, a "soul", which may be what your question was really about (hence the all-caps on "you"), but on that topic there are a wide range of opinions, and the evidence supporting any particular one of those beliefs is not very persuasive. Nonetheless, it is a very appealing concept, especially contrasted with what happens to the rest of our selves at death!

Answer 5

Your life is an incident with a beginning and an end.
When an incident comes to an end it never happens again.

Answer 6

I will become one with Mother Earth - simply by way of the fact of my body decomposing.

I'll be looking forward to finding out if there's more to it and would, should it prove so, the endless irony of spirituality and science finding common grounds in death.

Answer 7

all of the organs in my body will eventually shut down, the cells that make up my body will die. it will be the end of my biological function.

Answer 8

Hopefully I will have lead a good enough life to go to heaven

Answer 9

Well we all won't know until we die. but as life does it: it goes on.

Answer 10

I'll most likely be cremated, then I'll have my ashes spread in the same creek where my grandfathers ashes were spread.

Answer 11

Keep the question open and I'll let you know if they have wireless
