Answer 2

Dear Curious-
I hear your desperation, and there are answers out there for you! I've always been curious in my life too, and I always search for answers, so never stop doing this no matter how frustrated it sometimes makes you. There is a world of information out there, and I'll see if I can hit on just a few good answers for you...# 1, we never die, just our our physical bodies), and from what I've read (good books you can look into) there really is no "hell" either,(I'll get back to that), but what there is, is explained very well in this #1 bestseller, LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE By Sylvia Browne, A Psychic's Tour of the Afterlife. Chap. 3 is titled "Death: Our Journey to The Other Side Begins". When we "die" our essence, entity (soul) actually leaves our body (the vehicle that you travel in during this lifetime). You see a tunnel that "didn't come from up there somewhere" but instead from your "own etheric substance". Not coming from the sky, it's more across from you, "confirming that The Other Side isn't some distant paradise beyond the clouds." Moving through the tunnel, you feel "completely alive". You "feel weightless, free, and exhilarated", and have "a newfound sense of timeless eternity" knowing that your loved ones and you will "be together again in what would seem like almost no time at all". "The legendary white light appeared ahead of me, with sacred brilliance, and infinite knowledge". There is an opening at the end of the tunnel, where a loved one will meet you. They will reach out their hand, and take you over to the other side, and as Sylvia explains it,she saw "a meadow beyond, like any grassy, flower-filled meadow on earth, with its colors enriched and magnified a thousand times". She also says, "I can't stress enough that there will never be a moment when you feel the least bit dead,or even unconscious, nor will your trip through the tunnel, feel scary or unfamiliar. Remember, you've been through it many times before, and you didn't just survive it, you made the choice to come back (reincarnation) and put yourself through it again. And with only a few exceptions I'll explain shortly, every adult (person) on earth,no matter what their race, nationality, religion, or lack of one, experiences exactly the same tunnel toward exactly the same sacred light of God". Yes, there is the God Concious, but not the punishing, "God will get you" if you don't do what you're told" kind of God."Our spirit remembers every birth, death, life on earth, and life on The Other Side we've been through, and every new lifetime is deeply affected by those memories, whether we're consciously aware of them or not".
Now about Hell...There is a consequence for evil--not an eternity in a nonexistent place called hell, but a self-imposed seperation from The Other Side, and even that self-imposed spearation does not last throughout eternity.
I hope this has helped you. Here are some good books you can get, Sylvia Brownes, LIFE ON THE OTHER SIDE/ PAST LIVES, FUTURE HEALING/ BOOK OF DREAMS/ James Van Praaghs REACHING TO HEAVEN/ and you might like, PSYCHIC PETS & SPIRIT ANIMALS from FATE MAGAZINE, Llewellyn Publications, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55164-0383
Good Luck, and never stop being curious!

Answer 3

You cant exclude religious explanations. People have faith in one thing or another. The guys on 9-11 all thought they were going to a special place, I hope not. If you recently had a person you loved pass away I'll bet you can still "feel" them. Epically if they we a family member, their DNA is in-tangled within you. As long as religions have been around there were many believers. Were they all duped? Go to a cemetery and look at the stones see if you can talk or at least be at peace. We can all hope for life after and we will all find out in due time. I would try to reflect more on LIFE the here and now. Live every day as if you time is running out. Peace to you and make something happen where you and your family can be proud of. Life is not to be wasted.

Answer 4

I came across a book which claims to be the only book in the world that has the answer to the question what happens after death. And the answer is a scientific one. Please take a look at this site: http://www.godofallthings.com

Answer 5

the soul get out of the body, how do I know that?
A person who died and did not believe in Christ and get buried but his soul can still be working. People who speak to spirits (sin) can remove you soul and force you to work. My family familiar with that and magicians or a high priest in vodoo can do that to people. THis is truth because that had happened to people that my family know. I used this example to answer your question because there is a spiritual world, so after death your soul is somewhere but if you are a christian your soul is waiting for the coming of Christ AND their souls cannot be removed when a vodoo priest call them in the cemetery. Listen I am familiar with vodoo so I am telling you somethin true.

Answer 6

The Teachers of the Eastern Orthodox Church, having Holy Scripture as their foundation, teach that those who die in the Lord go to a place of rest, according to the statement in the Apocalypse: "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them" (Revelation 14:13). This place of rest is viewed as spiritual Paradise, where the souls of those who have died in the Lord, the souls of the righteous, enjoy the blessings of rest, while awaiting the day of rewarding and the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus...

About the sinners, they teach that their souls go down to Hades, where there is suffering, sorrow, and groaning, awaiting the dreadful day of the Judgment.

The Fathers of the Orthodox Church do not admit the existence of another place, intermediate between Paradise and Hades, as such a place is not mentioned in Holy Scripture.

After the end of the General Judgment, the Righteous Judge (God) will declare the decision both to the righteous and to the sinners. To the righteous He will say: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;" while to the sinners He will say: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." And these will go away to eternal hades, while the righteous will go to eternal life. This retribution after the General Judgment will be complete, final, and definitive. It will complete, because it is not the soul alone, as the Partial Judgment of man after death, but the soul together with the body, that will receive what is deserved. It will be final, because it will be enduring and not temporary like that at Partial Judgment. And it will be definitive, because both for the righteous and for the sinners it will be unalterable and eternal.

Answer 7

You can't get anything but a religious explanation

Answer 8

Suppose you're at the beach and you make a nice big fancy sandcastle, complete with moat and turrets and so on. Later, the tide comes in and washes it all away - the sand gets spread around the beach and all trace of your sandcastle disappears.

Where did it go? Well, clearly the castle didn't 'go' anywhere as such - it was a temporary arrangement of grains of sand that went to make up something recognisable to us, and when the sea washed it away, it simply ceased to exist. Another day, someone else might come along and make another castle using some of the same sand that went into your castle, but the one you made is gone and can never exist again.

This is how it is with human beings - we are recognisable to ourselves and others as living organisms, but fundamentally we are temporary constructions of atoms and molecules and will one day simply cease to exist. Just as the sandcastle consists solely of the sand from which it is made, so human beings consist solely of the atoms and molecules of which we are made. When we die, our bodies will be returned to the environment to be incorporated into new living organisms, or to fall as rain, or to make the bedrock of a million years from now. We are ephemeral creatures, a brief pattern of order and complexity imposed on the raw material of the natural world. We should make the most of it, for this is all there is.

Answer 9

I seriously hope I don't just cease to exsist. If heaven isn't real then I want to be a ghost,and I shall haunt somewhere, but only somewhere cool...ooh....like disneyland! If you mean what happens to our body, then...I assume we just decompose, and rot away to nothing. You know what's disgusting? The fact that once your dead your body still has to get rid of gas, and wastes and stuff. Ick.

Answer 10

How can you possibly ask a question and then tell people how to answer it? I guess when you die nobody will notice because you probably never had a memorable conversation with anyone.

Answer 11

The fact is that anybody has return from death. So, everything else is specualtions. We don t know. Except every religion has their own beliefs. Depends on what do you want to believe
