What do you think will happen after death?

Archive: 101 posts

Hi, I thought this will be an interesting discussion.

What do you think will happen after you die? Do you think you'll go to heaven, hell, come back as a spirit or something else? Then post your opinion here.

P.S. I made this for an interesting disscussion, not an arguement.

My opinion:

I haven't the slightest idea. I believe that once your dead, you are dead.		2010-08-01 00:58:00

I don't think this will go well...
Whenever you bring up a topic that involves religious beliefs it always turns bad.
People start saying stupid things like 'How c@n u sey that?! Thats Not trUe!!!!1!111!!!twelve!' :/

It is a good discussion though if everyone can respect each others views.		2010-08-01 01:06:00

I personally think nothing happens - I mean, you're just dead. Your brain shuts down, and you kind of cease to exist.
However, I do not intend to offend anyone by saying that. I respect everyone else's beliefs, and I hope everyone else does the same when they post on this thread.		2010-08-01 01:22:00

I think we'll just have a dream. A never ending dream that we'll somehow be able to control after a while, so anything we want to happen will happen.

This is my second guess. My first one is more religious, so I rather not say.		2010-08-01 01:42:00

There's a big red "Game Over" screen, and then you wake up and are unplugged from the total-immersion virtual reality role-playing game you've been playing for the last 4 years. It takes several minutes for your real-life memories to return after that. 2010-08-01 01:54:00

As long as everyone stays respectful, this thread is just fine. Now on to my thoughts...

I'm of the opinion that there is nothing after you die. At least, nothing that you will experience. You, i.e. your conciousness/mind, will cease to be.		2010-08-01 02:11:00

***Just interesting theories, im not trying to say one religion is more or less possible than any other. This is a purely secular theory on a possible outcome of your mind/conscious/soul/spirit/whater you may call it.***

Theres a theory that your mind is not connected to your brain, and that the mind is the complex energy controlling your brain. Meaning your body exists on a physical level while your mind is a mass of energy.

If this is the case, I theorize that when you die, your mind could disconnect from your body.
The energy would dissipate without an energy source but if it were to find a vessel, your mind/thoughts/whatever could theoretically be in said vessel, be it human or otherwise. Which would be 'reincarnation'.***		2010-08-01 02:42:00

Thats a really interesting view on death actually.
So you are saying there is no soul but instead of a soul there is this source of mass energy that lets you move and talk and all that nice stuff?
It acts in a way as a sort of life force of some kind, but not the life force that fuels the physical body?

I believe there is nothing for you after you die. However, I do believe that there is something other than the physical part of a human being, I am just not sure if i should go around calling it a soul.
Sure I am not even sure a soul exists.		2010-08-01 03:15:00

You wouldn't actually be able to control it(unless it gets into a physical vessel with a brain)
In this case, it IS the life force that fuels the body but the actions of your mind are not in your brain, they are in your 'mind' and are manifested as the perception/reaction to the surroundings.		2010-08-01 03:25:00

This is my personal opinion

I dont care what happens after death. I am in no rush to find out but I am not going to quistion because there is only one way to find out and I am not that desprate to find the answer. I just cross that bridge when I get there		2010-08-01 04:01:00

Its stupid to say that nothing happens after you die. The Law Of Conservation of Energy states that energy can neither be created or destroyed. the solid part of you dies but your energy has to either go some where or stay wherever you die. im not absolutely positive that heaven or hell exist but hopefully hell doesnt, i honestly think after we die we stilll exist as energy beings. if our mind is like a computer, then our memory, thoughts, feelings still even after we shut down. forgetting something is like deleting something, the memory still exists even after you delete it an there can be nothing changed about it if energy produces memory and energy cant be destroyed then memory cant be destroyed, and if memory cant be destroyed then you can live after you die, but as the energy that once powered your body

EDIT: i meant to put exist after still,rewriting that part takes too long		2010-08-01 04:35:00

Well I actually think there is nothing when you die or even if there was something you will not even be able to know what it is and what you were because all the memories and everything you learn is in the brain and the brain shut down. So if you die nobody can know what is in your brain because imagination is actually invisible (unfortunatly).
So what I'm thinking is there is probably something after death but nobody can know because you have a new brain and you forgot everything about the old one.		2010-08-01 05:10:00

Personally, I have a hard time separating the brain from the mind. To me the brain is the mind is the brain. When someone suffers a brain injury, it can cause them to lose memories, forget names, or even forget their own name. I think that who are is deeply rooted in the brain and that once it goes... so do we.

First, there is no need to call other opinions stupid. So, please leave those comments out of the discussion.

Secondly, I'm with you on some points, but not when it comes to the mind. I think you are on to something when you say that "your energy has to go somewhere", but I think this is purely your body, not your memories or thoughts. Like I said above, I believe that when your brain dies, those thoughts and feelings are gone. However, I think your body does live on, you just won't be aware of it. The movie The Fountain has a great quote that sums up my thoughts...

"If they dug his father's body up, it would be gone. They planted a seed over his grave. The seed became a tree. Moses said his father became a part of that tree. He grew into the wood, into the bloom. And when a sparrow ate the tree's fruit, his father flew with the birds. He said... death was his father's road to awe. That's what he called it. The road to awe."

Now, even though I don't believe I'll be aware of this, I find the thought to be quite incredible.		2010-08-01 05:17:00

The brain is like a computer. The receptors are the circuitboards.
Thoughts are electrical signals, which are also energy. All the 5 senses are your brain processing energy frequencies. So if thoughts are complex combinations of energy frequencies too then they could be connected to your 'life force' (what i call the mind ) and would be transferrable with your mind.
If someone gets brain damage, they lose the ability to reflect what is happening in their mind. Just because they lose the ability doesn't necessarily mean its not there.		2010-08-01 05:32:00

Your post actually makes me think about this that would effectively mean that the brain of somebody who died could be transplanted into a comatose person, for example. Unless I'm reading it wrong? 		2010-08-01 10:20:00

Well yea if your head is just cut off and left there you would die in about 5 seconds. This was surgery.
Apparently they had to cut the spinal cord so the monkey was paralysed since we don't know how to repair that yet.(Besides helping repair it with stem cells)
The Chimp survived for 6 days until the body rejected the heads foreign tissue, but he said in the process that they figured out how to keep it alive indefinately.

I believe you die and become worm food

Quite a sad belief you may think but Hindu's believe in reincarnation and since I'm eaten by worms I'll move up the food chain with what was my body now energy and some mass that will become part of the other animals in the food chain. Sure I may end up being a couple of fats cells or barely the energy to move a few muscles in a leg to walk but I'd say that's reincarnation enough for me. Not to mention if a supernova rolls around then I'll end up all over the place

Although my brain is dead and therefore my mind is pretty much kaput I will have left a mark on other people and perhaps changed the way they think. So for instance if I pour a drink with the glass sideways a bit to get rid of bubbles so I can pour faster if anyone does that then they are essentially using a bit of me. Therefore part of me will be in other people; so as well as the obvious way nature intended to keep on surviving with genes we can also do it with neurons.

So that's how I managed to squeeze religious 'endgame' scenarios with an atheist look at things, enjoy.		2010-08-01 13:50:00

I think you are missing a key piece in this analogy though...data storage. In a computer, we store pictures, documents, settings, software, etc on a hard drive. The computer then accesses the hard drive to load the appropriate file that we request. However, If the hard drive is damaged or formatted, then the data can become corrupted and unrecoverable. Does this data "live on" outside of the hard drive? I don't believe it does and I think our brain is kind of similar.		2010-08-01 14:00:00

just like in one of Dan Brown's books i believe that when we die our soul floats out of us and goes into a void, in the book they weigh a man before he dies and then after and found out he loses mass, but a very small mass......... but this book is fictional but its still kinda cool2010-08-01 14:15:00

I believe that you appear in a really light room that doesn't actually exist anywhere. In this room there is a round hole that is a portal to somewhere, once in a while the portal opens and you get thrown out of the room by doing a backflip. No one else on the other side ever sees the room because it is so bright, but they can see you coming out of it.
The portal may look a little different sometimes... Here is a pic of four different versions of this portal

I find it quite hard to believe we just cease to be. I don't really understand that. I don't know what happens, but I don't think it's that.

I'd like to reincarnated into some kind of animal though. But still be self-aware etc so that I wasn't just an animal. It's really hard to explain >_<		2010-08-01 19:50:00

Well according to scientists (yes this is relevant to my opinion ) Information can't be destroyed. Well our brain is full of information. Like how much you just hate that teen pop sensation. Or how embarrassing was the time that they caught you dancing to no music, or all those memories.........none of this has ever happened to me just examples >.> , but anyways....I believe that all those feelings live on....in some place or other...I just hope it's a nice place that or just an empty void

Personally, I have a hard time separating the brain from the mind. To me the brain is the mind is the brain.

... I think you are on to something when you say that "your energy has to go somewhere", but I think this is purely your body, not your memories or thoughts.

I liked that description from The Fountain as well, although I don't agree with it, but that's beside the point. But to your above comment msc. That energy that can combine consciousness and memory, I like to think of as the spirit or the soul of a person. For example, people who have near death, or after-death, out of body experiences - for example on the operating table of the hospital - claim to look down and see their clinically dead body lying there. They know it's their body, they're not disconnected from that recognition. They can also in many cases correctly describe the people there and the attempts to revive them that went on during that time, meaning they were aware not only of themselves but of things and people around them, but not consciously through the electrical impulses via their five senses. Some of those stories may prove to be crocks, but I know of some that are definitely not.

There have been some interesting thoughts here so far and people have been pretty respectful, so thanks everyone. Here are my thoughts on the matter.

I absolutely believe in a life after death. We have had several strange (but beautiful) experiences in our family that convince us of that. For example, all three of my younger sisters were born well and truly after the death of my paternal grandfather (like decades after). Yet all three, as babies, recognised him in a particular photo, independantly of us or each other. They would get so excited to see him. One of them would take the picture and toddle around with it, kissing and cuddling it. As they learned to talk they all made varying comments that they "knew him". As they aged they forgot it, but we all saw it when it happened. You can make of that what you will, but I believe we existed as spirits/souls before birth and that my grandfather had some kind of relationship with them during that time - I don't know, maybe helping prepare them for their arrival here?

In any case, I choose to believe that we are here for a reason and that this life is an important stepping stone to another - not reincarnation, but progression, as ourselves. And yes for that reason I also choose to believe in a resurrection (I'm Christian). I think we are here to gain knowledge and experience and to enjoy relationships that we can take with us into the next stage of our existence. To me, it is a sad idea indeed that the efforts we make to improve ourselves, acquiring knowledge and developing maturity and wisdom, and even moreso, the time and emotion we invest in loving people - our families in particular - would all just end at death for us. What a waste.

An atheist once challenged my mother's beliefs and said "What if you die and it all turns out to be false? What if I'm right?" and she wisely said to him, "Well, if I'm right, at least I'll be able to say "I told you so", but if you're right, you won't"..lol!

Look, whether it all turns out to be true or not is out of my control, but if it means that I've tried harder to be a good person and contribute in a more positive way to humanity, then it's been worthwhile. And I think the same goes for any belief.		2010-08-01 23:47:00

Hmm, I'm not really sure what it would it be like after death. As I'm an atheist and don't believe I'll go to heaven or become another form, I think that I'll just be gone into darkness with memories and thoughts. Although thinking about it now, I just can't imagine not being here or living.

Another interesting thing is, what does it feel like being in a coma for months. Would it be like sleeping or something else?

There is a way we could find out though, I think.

Some people die but come back to life a few seconds or minutes later. If you asked them, then you could get an idea. Although you would need a person that believes in life after death and someone who doesn't to get fair results as they believe in different things.		2010-08-02 00:13:00

Me? I don't know and tbh I don't want to know. Its kinda like getting a surprise for your birthday 		2010-08-02 00:51:00

Up through a cerebral umbilical cord where we collect and meld with all the other deceased. An ethereal dream-scape of adventure and possibility. An abstract plane of beautiful and wonderment, just waiting to be explored.

I have to go with the idea that we simply cease to be and our bodies are either burned to a crisp or become wormfood2010-08-02 03:15:00

However, If the hard drive is damaged or formatted, then the data can become corrupted and unrecoverable. Does this data "live on" outside of the hard drive? I don't believe it does and I think our brain is kind of similar.

That depends on IF the data corrupts.


That energy that can combine consciousness and memory, I like to think of as the spirit or the soul of a person. For example, people who have near death, or after-death, out of body experiences - for example on the operating table of the hospital - claim to look down and see their clinically dead body lying there. They know it's their body, they're not disconnected from that recognition. They can also in many cases correctly describe the people there and the attempts to revive them that went on during that time, meaning they were aware not only of themselves but of things and people around them, but not consciously through the electrical impulses via their five senses. Some of those stories may prove to be crocks, but I know of some that are definitely not.

I absolutely believe in a life after death. We have had several strange (but beautiful) experiences in our family that convince us of that. For example, all three of my younger sisters were born well and truly after the death of my paternal grandfather (like decades after). Yet all three, as babies, recognised him in a particular photo, independantly of us or each other. They would get so excited to see him. One of them would take the picture and toddle around with it, kissing and cuddling it. As they learned to talk they all made varying comments that they "knew him". As they aged they forgot it, but we all saw it when it happened. You can make of that what you will, but I believe we existed as spirits/souls before birth and that my grandfather had some kind of relationship with them during that time - I don't know, maybe helping prepare them for their arrival here?

In any case, I choose to believe that we are here for a reason and that this life is an important stepping stone to another - not reincarnation, but progression, as ourselves. And yes for that reason I also choose to believe in a resurrection (I'm Christian). I think we are here to gain knowledge and experience and to enjoy relationships that we can take with us into the next stage of our existence. To me, it is a sad idea indeed that the efforts we make to improve ourselves, acquiring knowledge and developing maturity and wisdom, and even moreso, the time and emotion we invest in loving people - our families in particular - would all just end at death for us. What a waste.


My theory: The memories from the parents get transferred to the child through DNA, the child can't open these memories but,since they're a baby, the brain is still developing and is not fully in check. The babies brain not being able to completely controll the firing of the circuits could allow the memories to shoot off when subjected to adequate stimuli. After controll of the brain is gained, the memories are locked off.		2010-08-02 03:39:00

I think that death is like sleeping.

We might have a few dreams, but mostly we will feel nothing, and feel no time go by. It won't be torture.

I think when you die you don't die necessarily. It's really hard to explain...but I think the brain has an outer source that controls it, processes all it's functions and when you die you are disconnected from that receptor (the soul) and are enlightened in a way. What the outer source couldn't process due to miniscule underlining thoughts before is now cleared of the clutter and can use it's full potential. I also believe there is only one outer source ( people call it God ) and everyone is connected to that source ( this is why you have deja vu, elaborate dreams, and some people claim to be psychics ). The way I interpret God creating everything is that the entity itself, existence, is just one big object not moving forward or backward not progressing or regressing. But instead resides around the outer source God. Here is a funny way of thinking about it...

Imagine a doughnut ( yes a doughnut ) The doughnut itself is existence, time, reality and everything else in between. Than the center of the doughnut is what is sending us the messages to process the doughnut itself. That's the just of it...I can't believe I explained it using a doughnut...

I think people are very bound by the idea of being human. None of us can even comprehend what the afterlife will be like...		2010-08-03 11:03:00

Time to simplify:
Every human mind is connected. The mind controls the brain. You die, your mind loses the restrictions of the brain and becomes completely part of the mass of energy(or frequency) that connects everyone.

The donut is reality, the center is the mind.

Do not underestimate the power of the mind.

Correct only the center isn't the mind, it's the outer source that communicates with the mind (God)

Nothing does not exist, that is to say, something that is nothing doesn't not exist, or to put it another way, nothing is something. Otherwise, you couldn't be thinking about it.

'm with you on some points, but not when it comes to the mind. I think you are on to something when you say that "your energy has to go somewhere", but I think this is purely your body, not your memories or thoughts. Like I said above, I believe that when your brain dies, those thoughts and feelings are gone. However, I think your body does live on, you just won't be aware of it. The movie The Fountain has a great quote that sums up my thoughts...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0691omc5n0&feature=related This video was recently investigated by a team of top notch specialists. i dont know where the rest of the video is but this is the only one i found on youtube, i had to type ghost polaroids, apparently ghost writer is a movie. the top notch specialists found no way to perfectly replicate the photo or any photo thats taken in the house. they even had a photograph expert with them and she couldnt do it. not just that but they had taken pictures too and when they pulled em out of their bags a while later there were large white blotches, which occured when the owner first started taking pictures. if you look closely at the photo the words make out corpus delecti which stands for murder corpus means death but i forgot what delecti meant, but anyways they couldnt replicate anything, not even the video. there are a few random ones on youtube, just asking the ghost questions and it responding with short sentences on the polaroids. but seriously i think this could prove human conciousness as energy during death		2010-08-03 16:05:00

It's a very bleak opinion but.......

Do you remember anything before you were born, no because you're brain does not function before development and you lack conscios thought. Nows the bleak part, If you lose conscios thought than how can you then continue to exist, or to even remember your life. Some would say that life is meaningless, maybe it is is. After all we'll never remember it, we might aswell have nether lived. We dream multiple times every night, but we often remember just one of them, that is unless you are a lucid dreamer. For the rest of us, it's like we nether had these dreams at all and I imagine death will be like this, like nothing ever happened at all. So make your mark on the world kiddies because one day, we will only exist in the memories of others.		2010-08-03 17:00:00

Here's my idea of what happens after you die. You just wake up from a very long dream, find yourself as a baby and just relive your life, allowing yourself to change stuff in you saw. Just a theory.2010-08-05 00:06:00

Wow, this whole thread is full of interesting theories and thoughts and has really made me think. When I was younger, I did used to believe in Heaven and Hell, and that there was a higher being that looked over the earth. But as I get older, I see all this evidence in science that slowly turns me away from Christianity. I believe that after we die, we don't just cease to exist. We have to live on in some way. Whether that be a person or animal(lolwut?), something as complicated as the mind cannot just disappear. And that is what I think. We may never know, unless of course one of you is willing to spare their lives and tell- owait.2010-08-05 04:40:00

We discussed this in the science topic (well, I read) but to have nothing basically it needs no limits, so at least in this universe it cannot possibly exist as we exist therefore there would be a limit.
