For myself, a relationship with a God of my understanding is necessary for me to live as well as I can in this life. The next life, if there is one for me, can take care of itself.

IMOP the Urantia Book revelation reveals what awaits us at least the first phase of our long ascension to the paradise meeting with the living God. From there we return to endless service in the universe in the core of the "Finalitors" and will await the unfolding of the yet to be revealed destiny.Maybe it is impossible to know before we go there, but.
What is it that waiting for us just after we passing?
For those who have come back after NDE have similar, but still different answers.
I wish i could say i had my clear answer, but I have not
Any thoughts?
When we awake on the first of the Mansion Worlds in our new bodies the only thing added to us will be the fact of survival. We pick up right where we left off when overtaken by death. We will resume our spiritual growth and education.
One can learn more about the 7 Mansion Worlds and beyond from the Urantia Book online which is free and has no copyright. Truthbook.com or Urantia.org
If nothing else its and incredible story.

I guess I have the typically bleak (to some) atheist answer. There is no us after passing. We are a process that ends in death.Maybe it is impossible to know before we go there, but.

I think we cannot ever know for sure until we get there...

Is that a belief?
Or could atheists prove their beliefs that it all go dark?
This is not a challenge to offend atheists, just asking out of curiousity
I'm reminded of a quote. Unfortunately, I can't remember who said it:
"Death is only the end if you assume the story is all about you."

I can't prove anything. This just my expectation.
All available evidence suggests that there is no afterlife.
However, it is still possible to come up with unfalsifiable claims for various versions of an afterlife.

Does it have ro be a proof for it to be real? It can exist even human can not use science to find it?
Sure: even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
In the scenario you describe, a person would have no rational reason to believe that an afterlife exists, and their claim would be completely unreliable, but sure: we cannot exclude with perfect certainty that it wasn't a lucky guess.
... just as we can't exclude any number of unfalsifiable claims that would imply that an afterlife is impossible.
I think from NDEs as well as other sources a fairly interesting picture does develop. As in physical life, individual experiences and situations have a range of variation too.

But how do they know they know?
Isn't this just a belief that they know something.

What evidence suggests there is no afterlife?
To me whether or not there is an afterlife is inconsequential because I refuse to treat this life as a weigh station to the next. Whether there are or aren't gods, I've made it my mission to leave the people and places in my life better than I found it. If there is a god and they like that idea, then maybe we'll be friends in some afterlife. But if there isn't I don't feel I've wasted my time living the lifestyle I've chosen and not bother wondering whether it pleases a god or not.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Yes. It's going to be essentially the same as this life. With some variation I would guess givin one will never know exactly what the next form will entail.Maybe it is impossible to know before we go there, but.

It is perfectly well-known in science, though most people deny the obvious because of its starkness.
After death, it is disintegration of the body and annihilation of identity.
NDE is a sort of 'Last Tango' of the brain, it does not last beyond minutes.
Yes, what constitutes us reincarnate. The atoms drift apart and reincrnate as constituents of living and non-living substances. Atomic, chemical reincarnation.
