Nothing. This is your one chance. Just like that campfire you had. Shone bright and gave warmth. Gone now.
Paradise, nirvana, reincarnation and all the others were made up by people who cannot imagine a universe without themselves in it.

When I was in med school, I visited various hospices and the biggest takeaway I have from this experience is when someone is about to die, more often than not, they will start to see loved ones who have passed away before them. Many people start to see their parents, animals/pets, their spouses, friends, etc… They will talk to their visions as if they’re real. I was even introduced to a few folks who had predeceased my patients and although I couldn’t see these people, there were a few times when I felt someone or something was in the room with us. I’m definitely not the only person who has had these experiences. It’s possible that hospice patients experience medication induced hallucinations but I think it’s evidence of transitioning into a different realm.

Earl Grey 2 years ago (edited)
Exactly. Ideation of absolute nothingness is an impossibility because your very consciousness, your own mind and thoughts, always get in the way. Nothingness is not zero, it’s not blank space, it’s not a void, etc. Nothingness is the complete absence of everything, which means there is no “you” there to ponder it. So this becomes very frustrating and unsettling to come to terms with that limitation of our minds, and we invent abstractions to clothe the concept (afterlife), invade those abstractions with meaning (religion, heaven, hell) and turn the problem into a word game that anyone can play.

I believe the song 'Where Do Cowboys Go When They Die?" explains the afterlife the best;
You die, they bury you on the prairie, you decompose, part of you will burst forth in the spring as a flower on the plains, a horse comes along and eats the flower and an hour later takes a dump; your buddies look at the pile of manure and comment, "He ain't changed a bit!"
At least he was a flower for a LITTLE while; perhaps we all will flower when we pass.

Stephen Hawking theorised that when we die, that's it, the end, nothing. Who am I to disagree?
Except there is one aspect of life which I simply can't ignore. Energy. Some call it the soul. Whatever name you give to it, the question remains; when the body dies, where does this energy go? The laws of physics tell us that energy can't just cease to be, instead it is only converted into a different form of energy.
The question for me then, is not; What comes after death, but rather; What happens to that energy when our body dies?

aside from any kind of religious 'after death' situation, i would like to think that heaven is something different for everyone - that is if you believe in a heaven. for me, that would be a place where my body was sound and all the dogs and animals i have had are there as well.
that being what a 'heaven' could be, i truly think that there are other planes of existence. some of them have a reincarnation flare as i feel that we are here to learn lessons before being able to progress to another plan. in that sense, returning to this life would add another chance to learn. or, maybe that is the true sense of hell - having to grow up and figure it all out again.

life is a unique miracle in the vast nothingness of the universe, because everything is trying to end it - it's an anomaly. Yet we survive and thrive, observing the vast beauty of the universe like no one before. once any of us die, our body disintegrates soon and we become one with the universe. nothing awaits our consciousness after death, so we should enjoy the beauty of life and the universe we can observe today. We came from stardust, and eventually, we will become stardust

I like to believe that in the moment you die you feel every emotion you had a part in making someone feel in a single moment. I think this truly punishes people who hurt others and reward people who helped others while the people who did good and bad get a mix of both that is unique to them. I think you are reunited with people you knew. As a part of you stays to watch over people you cared about, a part of you moves on and truly enjoys what you loved in life. But I don't think it's all happy. Have you ever heard the saying that you can't appreciate the good days without the bad? I think this applies here too.You can see what happens on Earth. You can see the cruelty of this world but also the kindness and generosity of people. When you are ready to go, you go to reincarnation and are reincarnated to repeat this again.

In my religion (evangelical Christian) we believe that all people and animals go to heaven (Well all people that are Christian) and in heaven everybody has their own space that is a perfect place for you. Example your happy place is your garden, then in heaven you have a beautiful garden that is all yours. Or your feel at peace when you are on the beach, then in heaven you have a piece of beach all to yourself. And if you don't go to heaven it is less fun.....

I'm more spiritual than religious. I don't want to believe in a Hell or a Heaven. I think those who are lost souls roam the plains of Limbo until they finished what they needed to do before they pass on.
I've heard of some fascinating theories about reincarnation. I'm just not sure if I want to experience this world again, with the times of agony, work, learning and problems. Mind you, if reincarnation exists I feel like I've been here before. Apparently that's why we get deja vu.
I'm hoping to be reunited with everyone I love. At the same time, there's people in the family I don't care to meet again. Wonder how that works out.

Hopefully you won't end up in Hell. Based on scripture there's really only one thing you can do that is unforgivable, and that's just directly revolt against God and try to go to war against him, like Satan did. I say this because Satan is the only guy in the bible who's not an apostle/saint who's fate we know for certain--death.

I once read a comic book about this guy who was obsessed about finding out what happens after you die. At one point, he pays for a kid's medical bills after said kid gets hit by a car, and is very disappointed when that kid survives. At the end, he gets shot by his wife's brother-in-law, and saw something. He was going to describe what the thing looked like, but died before he could do it. However, the brother-in-law saw a reflection of it in the dying guy's eyes, and went completely insane. So it's possible we're better off not knowing.

Maybe you simply go to another version of earth. A place where all significance will disappear and you’ll simply become indifferent to everything around you, doing only what you truly wish to do until eventually, you fade away. It would happen slowly, almost too slow to notice, and at the end, you would be reborn, transformed into another body, to repeat the cycle eternally

Nothing. Absolute nothing. Theist friends have asked why do I not see this as frightening? Their alternative? A never ending eternity. That is frightening. You could talk to every person that ever lived, shared everything you have had to share, then taken part in every activity you can think of plus all the things that you cannot yet conceive. And you would still have an eternity to look forward to. In a never ending timescale, Hell is indistinguishable from Heaven. Leave me with non existence. I would choose it every time.

Prepare to read. Okay so I'm not a person who fears death but I fear what comes after. My favorite theory is that what comes after death is whatever you believe. My least favorite is that you're still in your body seeing through those dead eyes hearing through rotted ears. Other theories I've heard are the multiple reincarnation theories. Heaven and hell is from Christianity i'm fine with. In that sense I would go to hell. Which reliving my death or being ripped apart or burned in agony is all okay with me. Now there is the void theory where after death your floating in a void, nothing but you. I also like and hate the theory proposed by Kurzgesagt in their video "The Egg" I recommend watching it will explain the concept in more detail. The theory proposed in "The Egg" is that we are all apart of a singular being (Kind of like Hinduism a little) And when we die we are simply reincarnated but something that differs as far as I can see is that its all one person becoming a new universal being only complete once all human lives have been lived. Another theory is that you simply see blackness no movement, just blackness. Next theory is that there is nothing, as in literally nothing, what that says about after is that there is nothing. No idea what that means. Then there is spirit theory, otherwise known as ghosts, and then the last that ill mention here is the forever sleep theory. Basically saying its sleeping forever. I have no single view of how it will be at the end. I acknowledge death and know it is natural so all i really think about is whats the after.

I shouldn't like to find out the Buddhist wheel of life was a thing, coming back with a beak, webbed feet or many legs. Hell doesn't sound cool either, and I don't think I could live up to the constant behavioral pressure of existing in a heaven. Living in a 4th dimension unseen by the living sounds horrific also - so unless I can re-exist in the parallel universe, ideally rewinding back to a more interesting time, I'll take blacked out silence please.

As a Christian, I believe there's kind of two "stages" to after death... Heaven is the first, where you go if you are Christian/believe in Jesus at the time of death. It's kinda like... a waiting area for the next stage, I guess? Where do nonbelievers go during that time?? Well I don't know... Anyway, then at some point, Jesus will return to the earth as a kind of "End times/end days" thing, and at that point it won't be a question of believing or not; he's proven his existence to everyone. Then whether you live with God or in Hell is determined by whether you accept forgiveness truly in your heart. He will give everyone as much of a chance as he can, since he loves us all and wants to be with us, so I imagine perhaps people will get explanations of how/why their sins are wrong, and everyone who is humble enough to admit they were wrong and feel sorry will live in paradise forever. (Also I've been stocking up on unanswerable questions for years so I'm hoping to get some of those solved lol)

Unfortunately, nothing. The greatest of us is, in the end, no different than any other living thing. We live and then we die. I don’t say it flippantly. I’m frightened of death, my own and my loved ones.
I don’t know how you can picture yourself living literally forever, basically maintaining your current identity, unless you don’t take the time to really consider the math. “Hi, I’m John Doe. I’ll be a heavenly John Doe in a million years, and a trillion years, and a googol years, etc.”
Consider the most common theory for the eventual demise of the cosmos as we know it: heat death. Now, it doesn’t matter if it’s true, just consider the time scale. All the stars are burned out, the black holes have evaporated, and even the last proton has decayed, and biological life is impossible. This isn’t expected to happen until at least 10^92 years from now. 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 from now. Now, that’s not 92 times more than 10 or 100 or 1000. Each set of three zeroes is 1000 times the previous set. 1,000,000 is 1000 years a 1000 times more over. Imagine everything that’s happened since the year 1022, but then repeat it 999 more times. If you were to literally repeat that period of history, the war in Afghanistan would total 20,000 years.
But 1,000,000 years is nothing, because billion years is that 1000 times over. And a trillion years is a billion years a thousand times over. Now you’ve repeated everything since 1022 a billion times. And a trillion? That’s only a 1 followed by 12 zeroes. So keep going down this rabbit hole of inconceivable time scales. A trillion years a trillion times over. A 1 followed by a measly 24 zeroes. So then, you keep going and going and going, and finally you get to 10^92 years. A 1 followed by 92 zeroes. The entire 13.8 billion year history of the universe since the Big Bang is something like 10^-80 (0. [insert 80-some odd zeroes] 1%) of that.
Now what? Are you going to add a million more zeroes to this number? A trillion zeroes? Now, this has been a pedantic, long-winded blowhard post just so that I could say this: all of that is nothing, literally nothing compared to forever. And yet, it’s not uncommon for people to believe that they’ll be with their spouses and grandmas and pets, basking in the glory of some kind of god, often even literally in gardens or some other very earthly paradise…forever! That sounds like Hell to me.
(Apologies for any math errors. It’s late and I’m typing on my phone.)

When I see numbers such as that, I like to think about how time passes differently for different things, for example the photon. From phys.org: "From the perspective of a photon, there is no such thing as time. It's emitted, and might exist for hundreds of trillions of years, but for the photon, there's zero time elapsed between when it's emitted and when it's absorbed again." Seems that all things are relative, and largely defined by perspective.

For me, personally, I don’t think religions are real. They may be, but I don’t think so. I think when we die, we just don’t exist anymore. Like the feeling you get when you’re asleep… nothing. Or it feels like the time before you were born, which is nothing. Also, if ghosts are real, I don’t think there would only be human ghosts, but all sentient living things that were killed are ghosts too! I sound so crazy haha sorry

Another Christian here and I believe you go to heaven if you've accepted Jesus as your savior, you know as in born again. I don't know if you'll recognize relatives in heaven. I think it's going to be so beautiful and peaceful and joyous everything will pale in comparison and you won't even care about who you know when you get there. I believe we will have purposeful lives in heaven. I believe we will each stand before God alone in judgement. Conversely, those who have chosen not to believe in God will go to hell but then life without Him on Earth probably hasn't been easy either. I believe those religions who have chosen to pervert God's word by worshiping idols or who have added their own books or reading material to supplement the bible to form their religion will have to answer for that. The bible said you shall have no idols and you shall not add anything to the word of God.

According to the Bible, heaven is a place of eternal happiness with no pain, disease, or sadness. This can be interpreted many ways, but my personal interpretation is that heaven is different for everyone. Because there is no sadness, if your dogs being in heaven with you makes you truly happy, then your dogs will be in heaven with you, etc. but of course to go to heaven you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

3.) Simulation theory. Upon death we might end up in something else's consciousness in some other place as if we woke up from a simulation.
4.) We would freeze in time.
5.) We would enter spectator mode. i.e. we will be able to view anything anywhere without affecting a single thing

For a long time, I was sure there was nothing past death. But I have studied neuroscience and read a lot of physics and cosmology over the years, and that science leaves us with possibilities and unanswerable (at least at this time) questions that are as bizarre as the various spiritual-type concepts of the afterlife. So I currently am keeping my mind open (though still a bit biased toward nothing). The way I see it, if there is an afterlife of some sort, when you die, you will find out what it is. If there isn't one, you will not know or care. But I really hope there is.

Consider that her existence as a human was sustained by the energy surging forth in the eternal now, and that energy, whatever it is, never dies. The now is always with us. Possibly that's no comfort to you, so sending hugs as well and wishing you some happy moments today. 😔😟😐🙂

I refuse to believe in a god that couldn’t plan well enough to make his only begotten son, humanity’s savior, be born to a literate family, so that he could write his own message down. Instead, we get four conflicting accounts (more than that before the Council of Nicea) written decades after his death. So if you weren’t within earshot before Matthew, Mark, Luke and John put pen to paper, then you were going to hell, I guess.

Nothing. There's is absolutely no reason compatible with modern science to suggest there is anything after death. This is like thinking windows goes somewhere when you shut the computer down.

For a long time, I was sure there was nothing past death. But I have studied neuroscience and read a lot of physics and cosmology over the years, and that science leaves us with possibilities and unanswerable (at least at this time) questions that are as bizarre as the various spiritual-type concepts of the afterlife. So I currently am keeping my mind open (though still a bit biased toward nothing). The way I see it, if there is an afterlife of some sort, when you die, you will find out what it is. If there isn't one, you will not know or care. But I really hope there is.

I think that you go to whatever afterlife or paradise you believe in, or just cease to exist if that's what you believe. And spirits definitely exist

Sadly nothing. My daughter passed away three and a half years ago at just 18........ it would have been her 22nd this coming Thursday. (my lips are pursed like a cat's ass at t his this thought and doing my 'brave face')..... I'd f*****g love to believe there's something after we die........ but there's just no scientific evidence for it at all, so I don't and can't...... but I'd really really like to.

Consider that her existence as a human was sustained by the energy surging forth in the eternal now, and that energy, whatever it is, never dies. The now is always with us. Possibly that's no comfort to you, so sending hugs as well and wishing you some happy moments today. 😔😟😐🙂

I refuse to believe in a god that couldn’t plan well enough to make his only begotten son, humanity’s savior, be born to a literate family, so that he could write his own message down. Instead, we get four conflicting accounts (more than that before the Council of Nicea) written decades after his death. So if you weren’t within earshot before Matthew, Mark, Luke and John put pen to paper, then you were going to hell, I guess.
