Here's what All About has to say in regards to this subject.\n\n___________\n\nWhat have we learned from life after death experiences? \n\nWe have all heard stories of people who have seemed to be dead - without vital signs for several minutes - only to be revived. Many of these people tell of traveling at high speeds through tunnels or of seeing brilliant white lights or even of coming face to face with God. \n\nThese life after death experiences raise many questions that directly reflect on Christianity - questions like, "What happens when we die?" and "Is it possible to communicate with the dead?" \n\nEven Christian believers disagree on what the Bible says on these matters. Some say those who die fall into a kind of dreamless sleep until Judgment Day. Others say the souls of the dead are immediately subjected either to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether they believe in Jesus. Still others say our souls remain conscious, but exist in a kind of limbo until the Day of Judgment arrives. \n\nLife after death experiences presuppose the soul remains conscious and aware after death. Those who have these experiences often report they retain the ability to see, to hear, to think, to feel - but they are unable to communicate with anyone. While the experience may be confusing, people report they are suffused with joy - partly as the result of being removed from the suffering of the body. \n\nIt is interesting that many life after death experiences are accompanied by a distinct sense of being two people - one physical and one spiritual. And the spiritual being is completely indifferent to the suffering self. \n\nPerhaps this is one reason the Apostle Paul tells us to die to ourselves, putting God ahead of our selfish desires: \n\n"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). \n\nResearchers report that about one in seven of those who are revived in such circumstances report seeing a brilliant light or even beings they interpret as angels, Jesus, or God. Some people report a sense of having their lives "reviewed." \n\nThe effect of the review is often beneficial and may lead some to accept God, others to rededicate themselves to what they perceive as God's purpose for them. \n\nSome Christians have claimed that after-death experiences are beyond the purview of God and are therefore demonic in nature. But it seems unlikely that being subjected to demonic influences would lead so many people to a closer walk with God. \n\nIn Luke 9:50, Jesus is asked by His followers what to do about a man who is casting out demons even though he is not a disciple. Jesus replies, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you." \n\nIn fact, for God to be truly omnipotent, He must be in control of these sojourns into death. Perhaps He uses them to direct His people. \n\n\nLife After Death: Why is it Such a Hot Topic?\nLife after death -- Why all the interest? Combine events like September 11th with the demographic phenomenon of the Baby Boom generation reaching its 50’s, and suddenly the reality of death from catastrophe and death from mere old age are upon us in a personal way. \n\nSo, it appears that more and more people are asking the same question that Job asked nearly 4,000 years ago in the Bible: "If a man dies, will he live again?" What could be a more fundamental question of life (and death)? Reincarnation theories are popular in Eastern religions as well as the many New Age variants. It seems people are comfortable with the idea of another chance to return to earth and figure things out or make things right. Some nihilist thinkers believe that death is the absolute end; but contrary to what many might think, most people believe that death is not the end. In some shape or form we go on. \n\nWhen Jesus was talking

no one can give you the right answer for this because people beleave in different things. it all depends on religion and what you beleave. i think once you die your soul goes to heaven...but if you have unfinshed buisness then your ghost may hang around trying to do what it couldnt do while it was alive.

According 2 the Islamic teachings there 'll be a life after death & it 's & 'll be just like the life of this world except that it's an enduring life.Life afer death starts 4 everyone after their buriels 've been completed & people buring them vanish away from the grave.It starts 4 evereyone as they 'll be treated according 2 their actions/deeds & when the day of gudgement comes our actions or deeds 'll decide our destiny.Coz there 'll be only 2 paths 4 the people.Those pleased with God the Almighty 'll be rewarded 4 their good deeds with Jannats/paradise/green gardens full of life.With no sickness or growing old, while those unpleased with God 'll go 2 Jahannam/Hellfire.May the Good Lord guide & save us all from it.

What happens if heaven is here on earth and we are wasting our precious time wondering where we are going to go next.  The universe I think is a God like creation of infinity upon infinity exploding and imploding in a constant merry-go-round of momentous force started by an almighty, power-full, special entity,......God.  So close your eyes and dream your dreams, we are all part of God and the universe, they are both one and the same, immortally eternal....

What happens when you die depends on what happens before you die. The Bible classifies the whole human race into two broad categories-the saved and the lost. What happens to the saved is radically different from what happens to the lost. \nA. For the saved\n\nThe Bible is abundantly clear on this point. When the saved die, they go directly into the presence of the Lord. At this point we remember the words of Jesus to the thief on the cross, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). This appears to be a straightforward promise that at the moment of death the repentant thief would pass from his life of crime and his agonizing death into the realm called "paradise." This would seem to contradict the teaching called "soul-sleep" which implies that at death a believer "sleeps" in a kind of suspended animation until the day of the resurrection. How could the thief be that very day in paradise if his soul were to go to sleep when he died? At the moment of death the believer passes immediately into the personal presence of Jesus Christ. This is our hope and comfort as we stand at the graveside of a loved one. Paul said he had a desire to depart and to "be with Christ, which is better by far" (Philippians 1:23). He also said, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body (that is, separated from the body by death) and at home with the Lord" (II Corinthians 5:8). These are the words of a man who believed that heaven would begin at the moment of his death. Was Paul looking forward to an unconscious slumber after his death? No! He was looking forward to the personal presence of Jesus Christ.\n\nBut that's not the whole story. The soul goes to be with the Lord in heaven and the body is buried until the day of resurrection when Jesus returns to the earth. I Thessalonians 4:14 says, "We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." Here you have both sides of the truth. Christians who die are said to be "with Jesus" (that's the soul in the conscious presence of the Lord) and "have fallen asleep in him" (that's the body which "sleeps" in the grave). Listen to Paul's description of that great reunion of body and soul: "For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first" (I Thessalonians 4:16). Here is a clear promise of future bodily resurrection for the believer. First Corinthians 15:51-55 adds the crucial fact that our bodies will be "raised imperishable"-that is, with a body that is perfect in every way, free from the vestiges of death and decay. In this life our bodies wear out, like a clock continually running down, but when we are raised, it will be with bodies that can never decay, never wear out, never suffer injury, never grow old, never get sick, and thank God, never die.\n\n\nWhat Happens after Death?"\n\nIt is clear that during the test during the life of this world, people will be clearly divided in three groups: 1) those, who excel in piety, truthfulness, justice and submission to God; 2) those, who excel in transgression, rejection and are clearly averse to accepting God's truths; and 3) those, who are neither clearly among the first nor clearly among the second group.\n\nAs for the first two groups, these are people, who are themselves witnesses upon their own behavior. These are people, whose ultimate destiny - whether it be heaven or hell - is decided during the life of this world and they start enjoying or suffering the fruits of their deeds, immediately after death. If falling in the first category, they shall be in a state of blissful slumber till the Day of Rising, while if falling in the second category, they shall be in a

The energy that was stored in your body dissipates into the atmosphere, your body begins the process of decay, people who cared about you mourn you for a bit, you are either cremated or filled with embalming fluid after your organs and blood are removed, the rest of the world moves on with life and death.  Pretty much the same thing that happens to everyone...

No.  No one goes anywhere when they die.  All "sleep" until the resurrection to judgment. \n\n"It is appointed unto man once to die, and then comes the judgment."  Hebrews 9:27 \n\n"And many of them that SLEEP in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."  Daniel 12:2\n\nThe resurrections occur in stages.  The first resurrection will be of all believers in Christ.  This is the better resurrection because these will instantly be glorified (made incorruptible and immortal as I Cor. 15:50-58 tells us).  This occurs at the return of Christ. \n\nThe next resurrection is the rest of the dead.  These are raised to fleshly bodies after the millenium and at the start of the Great White Throne judgment.\n\nRevelation 20:4-5, 12-15

Yah.. This is a very good question. There may be simple answer..people will go heaven or hell etc. It is true also. I don't think i have to explain anything what is written in Bible. For that you can refer Bible or contact your parish priest.\n\nBut here i would answer which is scientifically proven through the councelling with those who died & came back to life due to some unknown mystery. Such cases are extremely rare and happens different parts of world. So study on this particular subject was very tedious before. A book regarding the summary of such sudies came first nearly in mid of 1980s only.\nscientist found that the people reborn are not so educated and may not be heard of any myths. But their experience after their death was similar.\nIts was like this....\n\nAfter your death, you can hear people saying you died..like doctor or you relatives saying that you died. After that you can see yourself fully same as you see other peoiple. you can see people preparing for your funeral.then after that you feel you are travelling extreamly fast through a dark pipe. you would be frightened when u travel through it. Finally you reach to the end of he pipe. Then you can see a big step. when get in to the step.. you can see people who passed away. you can realize all you are seeing is people who dead before you. When you enter in the step, you feel an unexpressible feelings of happiness. Then you a see very heavy light fro the top of the steps....\n\nPeople who died & came back to life .. is gone maximum up to this level only. On these study scientist found some suicided people also. The have some different feelings while they stand on the steps, however they they fell a ver unhappiness & anxiousneess.  ASnd all of the ancestors compell them to go back..\n\nBelieve this..Its scientifically proved... Some horror movies from Hollywood wasthere explaining it...\nI think you get a good answr\n\nWith love in jesus

After you die the brain live for about 7 minutes. \n\nI have heard that these 7 minutes hold the answer to the question, "what is heaven". I believe in this 7 minute unconscious stupor, you dream. And as everyone knows, time passes at a different rate when you dream. So in these 7 minutes you could be in a dream which is perceived as endless. And in this endless dream you re-live your life and dream of a heavenly place. The body can not perceive the difference between dream states and conscious states, and basically reacts the same to both. So in reality you really do go to heaven, and never wake up. But this is conditional of course on how you lived your life. If you die with a guilty conscious, your last dream will be a direct result of the way you lived. For instance you may have a nightmare after you eat late at night, just as you may go to hell in your last eternal dream if you let a miserable existence. I think religious figureheads caught onto this concept early on and have capitalized on it since.\n\nPlease e-mail me to discuss jodiamon@syr.edu or visit my blog which discusses this subject to death at http://krunkbox.blogspot.com/

Yes.  I would only hope that after living this life with whatever each of us experiences (good, bad, ugly), that life after death would be there for all of us and it would be glorious as God had intended for it to be.  There will be no hurt, no pain, no suffering, (no intolerable rude people :) ). There would be peace throughout and within. We may have the choice to return (reincarnate) and try again, as some say.  We may see past loved ones again.  I for one miss my dogs and my  friends & family members who have passed.

The existance of your soul and where it goes after your physical body expires

we will move on to another place such as another dimensions where our souls go with other spirits.\n\nwe will still have a soul and as lng as we are concious we will know we are living an "immortal life" after death\n\neven though the fate of the universe is uncertain(it will forever expand, stop expanding, or contract), we know our existence is forever like the supreme being, unless we decide to end our existence ourselves
