You've died.....where are you?

[Silver]

This is a poll.

So you've taken your last breath.....you've died.
So where are you now?

In-between.

 

[LuisDantas]

Dead is dead.

 

[YmirGF]

I'll be back Home, but my body will be mingling with the Earth.

 

[Aquitaine]

I have absolutelty no idea but that's what makes it fascinating! :yes:

 

[Engyo]

"I" no longer exists, and so has no location.

 

[Willamena]

So where are you now?

Same place I always was.

"I" no longer exists, and so has no location.

What he said.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I'll be wherever I died. Until someone moves me that is. Of course, seeing that my consciousness relies on the complex interactions between the 100 billion neurons in my brain, and, in turn, these billions of neurons rely on the various complex systems of my body to remain alive and active, once my bodily functions cease, my consciousness will end, so I really won't give a crap where my body is.

My belief is that our physical bodies are returning to the earth the life energy that we borrowed from it.
Our spiritual bodies become one with the universal consciousness that permeates all things, living or inanimate, so as to pass on our knowledge and experiences to that consciousness.
Then eventually, our spiritual bodies return to the mundane world in order to learn more.

I have never died before by my knowledge.
So I can never be sure, but I asume I will no longer exist.

will you ever stop learning then?

 

[Nerthus]

I hope that I make it into Heaven!

An afterlife created by scientists is a scary thought though.

 

[Comicaze247]

Your spirit won't, no. There are a few people who claim to have been able to tap into the spirit world to see their past lives.

I recall one story on the discovery channel about a child that was born at the exact moment that a man was shot in the head during a robbery (or something like that). The boy had a birthmark in the exact spot that the man was shot, and he had the man's memories. This was confirmed by the man's mother. I wish I could find the full story again

EDIT:
Found the story (at least I think it's the same one).

And here's a much more recent report of possible reincarnation.

IN case of reincarnation it sounds more like relearning than learning anything new.
If you do learn anything new, eventually you are tied to this world and the information will stop... (?)

 

[Twig pentagram]

I don't know what happens in the life after. I just hope that it is filled with peace and blessings.

Well that's the thing. You wouldn't be born into the exact same situation. You could be reborn in a different country, as a different race, as a different species even. Therefore, you would be learning new things from new perspectives.

I will retract my statement earlier of eternally learning, because I just remembered the concept of Nirvana. Once one's spirit has learned all that there is to learn, they become one with the universal consciousness.

So after that, new souls will be born to keep the balance of unknown souls?
After all, slowly all conciousnes' are getting to Nirvana..

 

[blackout]

What about afterlife realm created by me?

 

[CCAPalandiriel]

Well, Heaven I suppose. At least I certainly hope so!

 

[nonreligiouschristian]

I chose another option.
I will be dead, creamated, know nothing.
I will not be in heaven or hell or reincarnated.
I will simply be dead/asleep.
Eventualy I will be raised up to judgment with
all mankind christian and non christian alike.
yes christians will be judged too.
afterwards will come the Kingdom and life eternal.
that life will be given to ALL mankind, not just
those who followed a certain belief or dogma.
