Comment on What do you think happens when you die? by Kenilem

I even don´t know if there is something after the death,
but mayby it´s good, that we don´t know that...

I think, there is a live after die.
I belive in heaven, and I belive on having another live after dead.
I think, I´m on earth, becouse I have to do something, after doing that, I´m going to die.
Then, I think, I will weak up in heaven and one time... there is another live, with another exercise for me...

I believe that we just become one with the universe and with God. I don't believe hell exists unless you do things to create your own "hell" on earth. Whatever we believe will happen...that's what will happen (to me, anyway).

Whatever lies after death, I don't live by.

Death is the undoing of the self. There is literally nothing after that. That's what I think is most likely.

And yeah I hope I'm wrong.

I don't know.

You float up to heaven and become beautiful. Just kidding. Death is permanent.

Well, I know what happens when you die.

Your body shuts down, with your brain being the last organ (unless the cause of death is linked to severe brain damage) to go, slowly shutting off every single process your body went through when it was alive. Don't worry, you usually don't feel that because technically, you are already dead.

Blood stops flowing because your heart stops. Your body evacuates any waste it had built up (urine and feces included).

After about half an hour, rigor mortis kicks in, and having someone else close your eyes takes a level in extreme difficulty. This also stops you from being completely dead weight, becoming the stiff zombie-like posture we all recognize, minus the arms hanging outward (...usually).

When all is said and done and assuming you weren't cremated or moved to a completely sterile environment immediately after death, you will rot away slowly as food for the worms, fungi and flies. All that will be left in the end is your skeleton.

As for what happens after you die, as in concerning your consciousness and "soul" of sorts, hell if I know.

It depends on where you are heading. The way I see it, the only finite thing about Death is that you cannot come back to Life through the same doorway you used to leave. Where exactly I'll end up is a good question that I, for now, will leave for my dying moment. But I don't think that Death will stop me from moving On once I've gone and kicked the bucket. I think more of it as an intersection that you're bound to reach eventually.

This has happened to me in several dreams before.

I think that death is a lot like falling asleep, a peaceful sleep, no matter how you die. Because when you're in pain and dying, once you die, you're relieved of that pain. At first there's nothing, but you wake up in another life with no recollection of the one you just lived.

I believe that the brain holds all the consciousness and thought processes for a human. Once it is disconnected, all of that disappears. There is no soul, no afterlife, just sleep.

Depends if existence is cyclical or not. If it is, no chance for you to be on earth again and you'll be born in the next trillions of years. If it not cyclical, you die.

You get the answers to everything, I hope. Than it would be cool to sit around and hunt the living in more original ways a bit so horror movies won't have to copy a story over and over again.

i'd probably be the director of the gene pool
directing the dead(who are actually living in my future bloodline) to gain proper control over their cells([link])

You rot.

just the boring ol' answer: Nothing.

End of line. Consciousness fades and the body decomposes (or is burned depending on waste removal process preferred).

Well... your conscious energy will flow with all the other energies of those passed away. And you will be everywhere from Earth to the deep endless corners of the cosmos.

You go to Soul society and train to become a Shinigami. Ha, wishful thinking. But seriously, as long as you don't wake up in a coffin everything goes.

A bit of recycling but apart from that not an awful lot happens after you die.

Decomposition, providing sustenance to insect and plant life, the redistribution of the body's elements into the environment... And procuring the ability to hangout in the lady's locker room unseen, as per the standard adolescent male fantasy.

You cease to exist. Simples!

I've wondered if there is like a soul system that circulates souls thourgh an earthly plane, a heavenly plane, and a hellish plane. once painted a picture of this idea, but i seem to have lost it.

I'm hoping it's like on Beetlejuice.

I've always imagined it as a dream like world that you have some slight control over. In my mind, it's the only thing that makes sense of what different people experience when they briefly die, if we assume even just half of them aren't full of shit.

But, in the end, I don't have any fucking idea what happens.

Go on with life.

What do you think happens?

All I know is that before death your brain releases a bunch of endorphins and you feel hella weird. Then you die.

You go to heaven and meet up with your family and everybody is happy you made it.

There is absolutely nothing after death.
