No satisfactory explanation of consciousness has yet been presented, indeed, the very definition of the word is hazy at best. Personally, I prefer Dr. Roger Penroses attempt at its description. For those who don't know, Dr. Penrose is a notable theoretical Physics and a Nobel laureate(2023 prize for his theory of trapped surfaces beyond the event horizon of a black hole, thus proving that, given the current understanding of General Relativity, a singularity must form at its center). Basically, his thesis centers around the theory of computation and the Godel incompleteness theorem, which basically asserts that all mathematical systems contains axioms that cannot be proven from within aforementioned mathematical system. What this essentially implies for computation machines, whether we are talking hard code software or even the most advanced A.I, is that the product of any computing machine must directly be correlated to an input, i.e. computing machines cannot create information that was not already fed into it.

Which brings us to the problem of humans. It is a matter of fact that humans routinely create new information, and this is where Penroses theses come to play: Human minds do not obey the Godel incompleteness theorem because the source of human consciousness is not a classical system but a quantum mechanical one, in other words, human minds are actually quantum computers and not classical computers.

Now, what does all this have to do with the final destination of human consciousness? Well, we know that something called "entanglement" is the very center of all quantum processes, which means that human minds, and therefore consciousness, is entangled with the rest of the universe, so perhaps, when a human dies, his body might die but his consciousness could very well linger on.
Hmmmmmmmm.

So the fear and great chill that occurs when people are about to die does not exist abi?
It is just normal instinct that all living things carry and exhibit When faced with death/termination. You can observe it in animals and even down to unicellular organisms.

Also the pain that comes when death is about to happen is unbearable and the maximum an individual can ever experience. There's no death that doesn't come with pain, even those that die in their sleep is usually due to organ failure and it is accompanied with excruciating pain and struggle.

Even when the dying person is too weak to show signs of struggle visible to an external observer, the dying person is fighting it internally.

The same thing happens to animals and to people—they die. People and animals have the same ‘breath.’ Is a dead animal different from a dead person? It is all so senseless! The bodies of people and animals end the same way. They came from the earth, and, in the end, they will go back to the earth. Who knows what happens to a person’s spirit? Who knows if a human’s spirit goes up to God while an animal’s spirit goes down into the ground?” So I saw that the best thing people can do is to enjoy what they do, because that is all they have. Besides, no one can help another person see what will happen in the future. Ecclesiastes 3:19-22

The living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything. They have no more reward. People will soon forget them. After people are dead, their love, hate, and jealousy are all gone. And they will never again share in what happens on earth. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

What will God do about their evil deeds?


Anyone who has died has been set free from sin.‭Romans 6:7 NIV‬

What about the good people?

“I wish you would hide me in my grave. I wish you would hide me there, until your anger is gone. Then you could pick a time to remember me. If a man dies, will he live again? If so, I would gladly suffer through this time waiting for my release. God, you would call me, and I would answer you. Then I, the one you made, would be important to you. Job 14:13-15

REALITY proves you wrong. There are countless cases of children who clearly remembered their previous lives. Scientifically verified and peer-reviewed cases.

The question is about death.
It's the body that dies.
The soul doesn't die.
So say THE BODY goes to the grave, which everyone obviously knows and doesn't need to be said!

Practically how do one know? No evidence except what we all read or heard. But science is great , we are all being recycled.
Science too does not have the answers.
Science does not know the origin. Apart from what we read, we know we are more subconscious than conscious beings. What goes on inside is greater than what is delivered and trust me science cannot explain that. Science too is dull!

Have you heard of sacred geometry?

Sounds like a neat theory, But can/will you remember your past life when u enter the new dimension?
No you wont. But in rare cases some people do. That's where the theory of dejavu happens.. the feeling that something has happened before or that you have made a particular decision before.

It’s funny, they will “go back to their Maker”, when the so-called Maker has never personally appeared to them to say, “I am the one who made you.” It becomes even more interesting when you remember that countless people lived and died long before Arabs and Europeans ever arrived with the unHoly Books and "their maker" was forced on them.

So the question stands: Which maker would those people return to?
Would it be the Middle-Eastern deity they never knew? Or Chukwu, or any of the deities their cultures recognised?
They will simply return to their Maker. You came into this world and you saw the sky above, the sea and the dry land and you think that there is no Maker. You now know of several other planets and your mind is telling you there is no Maker. Brother, there is!

In every generation there is the consciousness of the Supreme Being. Before what you termed 'unholy books' came, there is a consciousness of the Supreme Being that controls events and put the whole world in it ordered form. Every generation knows that.

Today you are using smart phones connecting to Internet which was not possible in the days of your fathers and the days of the old European. But this is our reality today. That means truth and revelation are evolving & progressive and things get clearer as you proceed. When the Holy Book arrived things became clearer and ever since then thing are still getting more clearer. The last book of the Bible is called 'Revelation' that means God is still revealing Himself and His Word to us as we go along.

Brother, I don't know what you believed but you cannot possibly come to this world that is far bigger than you, where you are just an infinitesimal fraction of the big picture and you don't believe there is a Maker who gave you the chance of appearance and after which he will require you to come and give account of your deeds.

I am a Christian and that account gives me a better picture of the whole. I am redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb (the Lord Jesus) and saved to be a son of God in power and in charge over the earth and the world in extension. That picture grants my victory over this world. Hallelujah!

When you die you will realise you have died. Read from The Wise Quran:

When death comes to them, they cry, “My Lord! Let me go back (to the world), so I may do good in what I left behind (in the world I just departed from).”
Never! (will that be again) It (the request) is only a ˹useless˺ appeal they make. And _there is a barrier behind them until the Day they are resurrected (for judgement)._
Quran 23 verse 99 & 100

Re: When People Die. Where Do They Go. I Want To Know. by Abee79(m):
After death, EVERYTHING ends permanently.


This is a hard fact to swallow, but there is no heaven, hell or even God. Stay with me . . . 🙏

The concept of "heaven, hell, eternal judgement & God" were established by men to explain the unexplainable & to gain moral control over others.

There is some evidence of reincarnation, but it's not conclusive.

Near Death Experiences where people have visions of judgement, angels, tunnels of light, flowers that are alive, Jesus, Satan, ,demons, etc., is just the human brain (consciousness) playing a powerful movie based on one's beliefs.

I read somewhere that if heaven truly exists and has streets of gold and many pleasures as claimed, the white man will NEVER allow the black man to access it - at least not easily, or cheaply! It kinda makes sense! 🤣

These are my conclusions after more than 50 years of careful study. Don't take my word for it. Before you criticize my findings, do your own research. Don't just believe everything blindly.

Summarily, humans were created from dust,
after death, they return to dust, on the Day of Resurrection, they will be raised again from the dust.

The greatest Man and teacher who ever lived, stated that God's word the Bible is the truth, so by this the Bible gives far reasonable answer to the question.
The maker of man the Almighty God stated in the Bible book of Genesis 3:19  In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return."

In Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going."
At Ecclesiastes 3: 20 for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. So man has no superiority over animals, for everything is futile. 20  All are going to the same place. They all come from the dust, and they all are returning to the dust. 21  Who really knows whether the spirit of humans ascends upward, and whether the spirit of animals descends down to the earth? 22  And I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to find enjoyment in his work,because that is his reward; for who can enable him to see what will happen after he is gone"

Hence death is the opposite of life and cessation of activities of any living thing both humans and animals

The animals fear of dying only rises when you are about to kill it. There is no fear and worry when it is dying naturally.

For man, we all see that he is in great terror, fear and panick as he dies.

And this is not talk about the feeling of oncoming justice we all feel when they are people who have offended us. Exactly how we all feel and know that politicians shall receive their punishments when they die and all the justice we want would be given to us.

And this is in contradiction with people we have seen who are even happy to die and they died with joy and smiles on their faces.

So explain!

You need to know the tricks Satan uses to catch people it's like throwing a bait at his prey pretending he's a friend.

God is the Creator of all the herbs and roots we are using for prevention and cure so because someone discovered it before you doesn't give such a person the right to become your God.

These atheists don't believe in the Bible yet they want you to believe in children dreams about past life when God's word says we came through reproduction and each person that dies can only come back through resurrection.

How does that correlates with the idea of preexistence?

So it's either you choose God's word or the atheists claiming scientists.

Meanwhile the word SCIENCE is derived from SENSE which means if you subjects yourself to their opinion they have sence than you do. Can you do the same to your village herbalist who has been using herbs to cure illnesses?🙂

THE TRUTH IS NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THEY ARE GOING AFTER DEATH. ALL LIVING ORGANISM ARE JUST AN EMBODIMENT OF ENERGY. WHERE WERE YOU BEFORE YOU WERE BIRTHED? YOU DONT KNOW, LIKEWISEYOU NOT KNOWING WHERE YOU WILL GO WHEN YOU DIE. CREATOR HAS PUT CREATION INTO AN EVERLASTING LOOP CALLED REPRODUCTION. PEOPEL KEEPDYING AND PEOPLE KEEP GIVING BIRTH ON A DAILY.

WHAT BIRTHED YOU OR CREATED YOU IS THE MIXTURE OF CODE AND ENERGY. YOUR PARENTS EXCHANGED FLUIDS AND MADE YOU, SAME WAY ANIMALS EXCHANGE FLUIDS AND BIRTH THEIR OFFSPRING. WE ARE ALL ENERGY WALKING, TALKING AND DOING GREAT THINGS. WHEN YOU DIE, YOU ENERGY IS TAKEN BACK INTO THE EARTH AND YOUR PHYSICAL AWARENESS ( THIS WORLD) IS GONE. YOU BECOME MANURE, AND YOUR ENERGY FLOWS BACK INTO THE EARTH. WE ARE BEING RECYCLED. YOUR DEAD BODY IS GIVING TO THE EARTH AS DUST, SAND, MANURE ETC, PLANTS GET ENERGY FROM YOUR DEAD AND ROTTEN BODY, HAVE YOU TRIED LEAVING A DEAD BODY IN FIELD, WHAT HAPPENS, IT ROTS AND THE ENERGY IS TAKEN BY THE EARTH AND TRANSFORMED INTO ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY, MAYBE NEW PLANT, MUCOUS, FUNGUS ETC..

THE QUSETION ABOUT WHERE WE GO IS ANSWERED IN THIS WRITE UP, WE ARE GOING NO WHERE, WE ONLY TRANSFORM ENERGY THROUGH THE POWER OF THE EARTH(SOIL), WE ARE ALWAYS HERE 100% OF THE TIME. DO YOU IF YOU HAVE EATEN THE ENERGY FROM ANOTHER ANIMAL OR HUMAN, THE PLANT , ANIMALS AND HUMANS ALL GET AND GIVE ENERGY TO ONE ANOTHER.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE SPIRITUAL OR RELIGIOUS ANGLE, I WILL SAY THAT DEPENDS ON YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM. BUT AS FAR AS AM CONCERNED, IF HUMANS DIE, THEY GO NOWHERE, THEY ARE STILL A PART OF THE UNIVERSE..

WHAT MADE YOU ASK THIS QUESTION IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS TO QUESTION THINGS, TAKE THAT AWAY AND YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ANIMALS I THE FIELD, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS WHAT IS BEGGING THIS QUESTION. WE ALL DONT ACTUALLY DIE, WE JUST ADD TO WHATS INTHE UNIVERSE, WE ARE GOING NOWHERE....
This makes a lot of sense, because as we know it, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form into another. That's the summary of your write up. Finally, I beg, next time no de write everything in capital letters. E de cause headache to read.

Where you go after Death depends on how you use your free will.
If your free will on earth was to do good, help people, serve God and have His fear in your heart whenever you want to do something, I mean your conscience, then you will go to Heaven.

But if your free will is otherwise, that is doing bad, for example, you used all your children for money rituals while on earth, Then Hell is your final place of Rest. Sheol. The place of Damnation.

As simple as ABC
Can you kindly quote the source of this information?

Well For the Christian religious folks it either heaven or hell , for others I don't know.
Everyone has a belief system subconsciously governing them, for the Christians the fear of hell frightens them to behave morally upright.
But there's no prove that heaven or hell exists , because if the body dies , then the spirit departs from the body , making the body an empty vessel. A spirit outside a body flows up air, it doesn't follow the laws of gravity , a spirit is similar to air precisely , it cannot hold it cannot feel , it cannot touch like a active human body can , so if hell was real how then do you explain fire burning a spirit , since the body is left back on earth , it doesn't make any sense.


In the other the concept of wether heaven or hell is real is purely theoretical , there's also no prove that heaven exists , some brainwashed Christian folks would say heaven is in the sky or above the earth , that's gibberish, backed up with no scientific accuracy or data.

But to answer your question , I don't think anyone fully understands the concept of death but I do to an extent , you see death just like time is an illusion, it's not real , there are traditional ways you can communicate with the dead which leaves you with only more curiosity that if death was actually real why then can we communicate with the dead.

Death is like a trance , leaving one experience ( physical ) to another experience ( spiritual )
I for one think when one dies , there's a switch between 2 worlds which are the ( physical and spiritual world)

so when one dies , he/she goes into the spirits world , now the spirits world is complex unlike the physical world , no one can describe what the spirit world looks like , even people that have died and came back , they didn't enter into the spirit world , you can't return once Ur in the spirit world.
Whatever happens in the spirit world stays in the spirit world but then there's reincarnation so can come back to earth as a human , animal or any living thing. The circle continues until God get bored and pulls the plug I guess.
How do you know that spirit exist, do you have evidence?

If you claim that people communicate with the dead, what exactly are they communicating with?

Death doesn't always come with pains , especially if the person had been sick for long. Before that final struggle, most people would have partially lost consciousness and might even be oblivious of what was happening at the time they took the last breath unless they observed from the spirit world
