Many people wonder what happens when we die. There are many different ideas. What's your view point?

Is death the end of it all?

I see It is a transition we are born from the matrix of this world into our spiritual reality.
We are born in a state that we have chosen by our choices and actions in this life.

Sometimes I feel like I just believe what I want to be true. Going on such a course, I'm hopeful of the idea of Christian Universalism, but I'm not sure.

The end ... you are then stardust and memories
The first law of thermodynamics tells us that the atoms that make up our bodies continue forever.
They go to making new thing, maybe new blades of grass, new clouds, new people*. In the far distant future a few lucky atoms may even help towards the making of a new star which gives heat and light to new life on a new planet.
As for the mind, the consciousness, without life it ceases.
* In this way we are all made up of dead people and other dead things. Cherry thought!
We now know some things the Biblical authors did not or perhaps tried to describe but could not under the limitations of their times. According to commonly accepted physical theory, we are still alive in the past of a huge universe that burns itself out. We are safe from the end of that universe, and what appears to be death is more like a return to our beginning. When we die it is like we are returned to the day of our births. Since this seems to be the case it seems to me best that our lives are spent in worthwhile pursuits. If we are horrible people, then we are a horrible part of eternity. If we are good, then we are a good part of eternity. Somehow this makes life fair with its justices and injustices.

Mind is not a mindless made process. We live on!
I do understand the strong seem that death is the end, but it makes no sense to me as to why that should be the case.
If we are born solely from the laws of nature then where did those laws come from and so forth. It leads to an endless regression into the past. It has to stop somewhere. That somewhere is an eternal cause. Existence did not come from absolute non- existence. Everything boils down to an eternal cause.
Besides true love is meant to be.

We’ll find out, won’t we.
It will be exactly like it was before I was born. So go ahead, picture yourself, your doings, your feelings, your joys, fears, hopes etc. in 1911, or 1867 or 1215 or 4 BC. It will be just like that.

Well some people will be very upset and emotional, then they'll run around in a great flurry of activity trying to arrange a suitable funeral - some people who hated your guts will say nice things about you and some others who couldn't care a toss about you when you were alive will bring you flowers...after that they'll eat and drink a bit and get all stupidly morbid and say what a great chap you were (something they had never told you whilst you were still alive) - and then they'll argue about who gets your gold watch or your smartphone or your desk at work or whatever...and eventually they'll forget all about you and carry on with their lives until its their turn to die. None of this will bother you cos you'll be dead - finito - end of story!

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
It wasn't the end before we became alive.
No real reason to think it's going to be the end of it all after we die.
If it happened once, it can certainly happen again.
Personally I think we're living the afterlife right now. Then again and then again.
You mean I’ll get more attention than I do now??!
Sounds like a helluva show! Where do I get tickets?

The eternal Tao cannot be told - Tao Te Ching
The takeaway is: If consciousness is the result of a "process" of more dimensions then spacetime, then consciousness will continue.

Certainly - but only fleetingly.
You got one the day you were born - we all get one - its the only thing everyone gets - the only manner in which we are genuinely born equal.

We die. I think religion is all about trying to relieve the fear of death.
