What happens to us when we die?

[Yetman]

Here it is:

To die is not a thing you can hear or read first hand experience witnessing about because nobody to this date survived the experience. It must however be very easy to die because nobody ever failed in doing it.

salaam.

Good work poindexter did it take you 3 years in uni to get to that conclusion?!

how about for death death?

i think most of what i really am is just like the rest of humanity. so as long as there are people about, there will be people going through the same emotions and loves that i did in my lifetime.

in the poetic sense, when we die, we go into the world of imagination, memory and spirit. we are in other peoples unconcious minds, and they can tell stories about us.

as this direct influence fades, and the story they tell becomes either a lot shorter, or a lot longer, but with less and less of us in it (as is the nature of family stories!) then we become less and less appartent, but our influence keeps on going.

if we have children we pass our genes on, and even if we dont we still have a spiritual influence on the world. the negative space we leave has a real presence, (bit like the example of the person who isnt at the party)

It's all a bunch of tree hugging hippy crap!

mmm... Sorry to interrupt but why are you quoting my post under an other name and next ask a question about it to someone you call "poindexter", as if he wrote it?

salaam.

 

[Yetman]

Sorry, I was just trying to point out the obviousness of your post – statethefreakinobvious and ‘good work poindexter’ are common ways of saying someone is stating the freakin obvious

 

[weltweit]

When we die, our lungs stop breathing, our heart stops pumping, our blood circulation stops, our mind stops operating (brain stem death), our spirit or soul is detatched from our bodies and floats free away from the body.

People who have died on the operating table and then been revived have reported floating in a disconnected way above their bodies and then drifting off into a tunnel at the end of which is a white light.

I believe this is the soul or the aura or the spirit, disengaging from the body and going wherever it goes. None of the people who died and then were revived have reported more than moving twoards the light, none of them got to the light before they were revived.

Nevertheless, they represent the people with the most experience of death who have actually returned to tell us what happens.

Aliens take our consciousness to another planet and put it in a universal cement mixer. I reckon.

Apparently it isn't all that obvious to some ---> see thread title and posts, and apparently you didn't read the post on which mine is a reply.

salaam.

What do you think happens to us when we die? and why?

Well wouldn't you say it was final, dear? I'd say it was pretty bloody final.

so nothing?

We're disposed of in a culturally appropriate way, then our memory lives on in the minds of our friends and family, then when they, too, die all that remains are our genes and those items of wisdom we pass into family lore.

[Sweaty Betty]

We die, we rot. What lives on is the impact you had on everyone around you....so you'd better hope it was good lol!!

Thats it!!!!!!!

That is my point of view.

It's only death that makes humans realise that they can't live for ever.

Well, the dead ones won't be doing any realising.

Check it out. Max said nothing again. How terribly droll and witty.

Seeing as he'd be dead, I'd say it's as close enough to a definitive meaning of the word "nothing" as we're going to get. People who are dead don't usually give a shit about anything, the inconsiderate cnuts. But how do we know they REALLY don't give a shit?

Ad absurdium, ad nauseum...

Brain shuts down, neurochemicals causing the alleged bright light/hallucinations.
Death
Laying about in a morgue drawer/ditch until ur found identified and cause of death determined
Then either burnt, or sewn up and dressed up to look less like a corpse so people can come have a look.
