When you die, like any other living thing, your body decomposes. Since your brain is also organic, it too dies, along with your personality and consciousness contained within its neurons.

A lot of things happen after you are dead they just don't involve you anymore

You're dead and cease to exist, just imagine sleeping and not dreaming, everything is dark, but this time your consciousness is no longer concerned about waking up.

Your question is "what really happens after our death?", huh? Is this what you call an unsolved "puzzle"? Is that really a conundrum?... Okay, what happens to a dog after it dies?... I think that should give you an idea of how simple and irrelevant the question is... Irrelevant because the events (I mean natural processes) that unfold after your death won't involve you, as Johnydon22 has correctly stated... you won't even know that you're dead... it couldn't be any more simpler...

The Christians are also waiting for golden mansions and white robes after they are dead and the vikings are waiting for sex and wine.

You see people tend to find solace in the whole notion of passing away rather than simply dying.

Humans tend to find a psychological comfort in the whole concept of transcending into another realm instead of the inevitable ceasing to exist.

I'd call that greed but also an act of short term imagination because if they looked back beyond when they were born (when they didn't exist initially) it wouldn't be so hard imagining inexistence of their being.

It is understandable why we humans make up these fantasies of paradise, valhalla, afterlife and heavens for ourselves.

Because out of all the species we share this planet with we are probably the only species that know at a very young age that we are going to die one day.

I don't think the chimpanzees and elephants and lions or birds out there are fretting for an afterlife or performing rituals or killing each other to secure their place in paradise or heaven.

So it seems the human knowledge of the inevitable end of our existence is somewhat of a burden.

So why not we all rather forget these fantasies, myths in a bid to make ourselves feel good and realize that the most important time is the present. And focus on what we have right now and where we are.

Do you believe in what d bible says?
If u call the Christians hope of reigning with Christ in paradise just a myth n fantasy. Then I don't really knw what u re saying.

Whenever I think about Death... My head just goes blank. I believed there is life after death, we all have to account all our doing to a supreme being, Since we did not create ourselves into existence... Well, only those who has resurrected from death has knowledge about life after death but majorly, my Bible has the ultimate answer

Are you a Christian? If you call the muslims' hope of reigning with Allah in paradisde pure fantasy, then I don't really know what you're saying...

But you are ok if i call the Muslim hope of getting virgins a myth and fantasy? and you have no problem when i call Valhalla just a myth and fantasy?

but you only have a problem when it concerns your own myth and fantasy..

That is what i call the petty dishonesty of faith, it makes everyone think their version of superstition is the true one and others are just being delusional.

Remember just like you the muslims also believe theirs is not just a myth but true... That you believe these fantasies does not, will not and can never make them true.

So i don't care if you pretend not to know what i am saying!!!

Since they don't involve him at all how in the world does he hope to know that.

Who ever comes to you and claims to know what happens after you are dead is plain stupi_d and a liar because he doesn't know..
Re: What Really Happens When We Die by Nobody: 8:31am On Mar 20, 2016
Exactly what I'm trying to tell him... He feels quite convenient to take the Islamic myth as absurd, while labelling his as unique and true... Had he been honest with himself, he certainly would have dismissed the Christian myth for the same reason he dismisses that of the muslims... I think your post sums it up better, sir... @johnydon22...

sorry to burst your bubbles. the consciousness doesn't die. even science is beginning to acknowledge that something of us remains after death which is conscious and aware.

go read out-of-body or near-death-experiences (nde).
