I believe we go to heaven when we accept Jesus Christ as our savior and repent from our sinful ways

We know for sure that noone really knows what happens when you die regardless of religion. People within the same religion believe in different things. My personal experience with entheogens lead to me to believe there's WAY more than we can imagine.

I like the idea of reincarnation. The rules of physics suggest that energy cannot be destroyed only transferred... Perhaps our energy moves on to another plane a 4th dimension or another planet it would explain dejavu but also ghost and UFO sightings?

If we're not ready to go back to source/god, we are reincarnated after time to come up with new lesson plans for our "earth school", to determine what we need to learn. From there, we can establish soul contracts - contracts with people in spirit form that they will incarnate with us to help us learn things, a boyfriend, husband, mom, sibling etc. If we're all good and have learned everything, we go back to source/god. For most of us, we're being reincarnated.

I'm not really sure I'm alive. I'm not religious and I have BPD so this can be quite common. I think maybe I'm just a consciousness and the world around me has been entirely manifested by myself which is why things always seem to work out in surprising, specific and often positive ways for me. Also I've nearly died a bunch of times and was technically dead for about twelve minutes, it was surprisingly chill and my life since then has been much better.

I've thought about this a LOT as I have stepped away from the christian world I grew up indoctrinated in.

No one has any proof of life after death, so you're basically asking people to guess. That's not to say that there isn't something, but you won't know until you die and if you cease to exist you won't be aware of it anyway lol

Okay so this is just what I personally have come to believe, I don't claim that it's an absolute truth, just what makes sense to me...

I've got a pretty good feeling that when I die, my body is gonna be put into a coffin and lowered into the ground and buried for however long the Earth exists

A question I keep thinking a lot about lately, In the end I think it's best to stay positive and hopeful in your end times sometimes I get scared when I die I'll be locked in the emotions forever lol

i’m not religious, so i don’t really have an opinion on what happens after death. sure, i have theories but they tend to switch quite a bit. i think the whole simulation theory is definitely possible

I'm quite late but I think whatever we believe is what we get! If you're unsure of what you believe you create whatever you want

I've been brought up to believe one thing and one thing only... That the concept of Hell and Heaven does indeed exist and that all humans good or bad will be guided to one amongst the two for all of eternity. But before all that there'll be some kind of court to assess whether we truly deserve to go or not. I wholeheartedly believe in it and don't think there will be a moment where I do not. Maybe my deep beliefs somehow prevent me from understanding other people's point of views because a minute ago I laughed at a comment somebody made about people instantly going to Heaven after they die. I wish that was real!

Believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ and be saved.
without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works."
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
obedience unto righteousness?
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed
from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."
I will remember no more.' And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary."

When we die our brain dies shortly after your body and the body decomposes after 24 to 72 hours.
this is all just evidence from history and science.

I'm not religious, so
I think you go back to that place you were before you were born. Whether it be some black void or whatever afterlife you subscribe to, I don't think any of us will retain consciousness or sense of self after we die so it feels moot

I expect to experience nothing after death. Oblivion, the void, whatever you want to call it. The end of existence.

We really don't know. However, I personally think reincarnation of some sort is the most likely result. Where exactly we go or what happens will never be known and really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Just live a morally just life and let whatever happens, happen.

there are an unfathomable amount of things that could happen to you in death, every religion is technically correct because its all possible. depends on ur spirit and soul

I would like to think that when one dies, nothing happens.. like when you go to sleep but with out ever waking up, your mind shuts down and that’s it.. that to me sounds very peaceful.

Life is but a dream. When we sleep, we dream, when we're "awake" we dream. Life is just the most powerful dream we're currently having, so we keep coming back to it, but one day it will be over, and we wont even know it, because we'll wake up into another as if this one was the dream we were having in that one. To infinity and beyond.

i have a theory that pretty much everything in the universe is cyclical (sleep, death, the universe itself for scaling examples). Honestly heaven as a concept scares me just as much as hell because being in one state for any infinite period of time would be torture to me, bliss or suffering irrelevant.

i am not exactly sure due to the lack of definitive knowledge i have about this matter. there could be loads and loads of different possibilities, and it is difficult, i think impossible, for me to answer that objectively as i am typing at this very moment. i do dwell on the possibility of there not being an afterlife, where after we die, there is nothing but, well, nothing. however i do not concrete proof of that being the case. on the other hand, i do dwell on the possibility of there existing an afterlife, and i still do not have proof of it actually being the real deal.

to preface: I'm not at all religious (despite growing up in a religious-ish home)
1. I believe we end up in some strange, incomprehensible space that is a culmination of memories from when we were alive, an example being like a shopping mall with stores that couldn't possibly exist like a Myspace restaurant. I feel as though this location would be different from person to person due to how people had different experience/memories from when they were alive, but it consistently is either something that you, if you were alive, wouldn't be able to comprehend could exist, or an area consisting of those such incomprehensible ideas.
2. We end up in some kind of 'spectator mode' of sorts, where we still exist in the world that we were in, but we just aren't there anymore. This afterlife could be due to unfinished business/being vengeful towards another person or not. Now, this idea definitely has a lot of conflicting rules that may or may not be in place, such as the manipulation of objects, being able to either communicate with or show that we as spirits exist to people who are alive, and the idea of being able to pass on.
3. We reincarnate. The reincarnation could work in one of three ways, either it's random what we reincarnate into, the actions you did in your life manipulates what exactly you are reincarnated into, or the 'creature' that killed you and/or caused you to die is what you reincarnate into.

I don't know. I don't believe in a god, nor heaven or hell. I hope that when we die it just ends. I hope there's nothing, just emptiness.

I'm not very smart or theological at all but I just hope after we die we can do more of what i've done on earth but without the excruciating emotional pain

Afterlife is such an interesting topic! I call afterlife Heaven or the other realm. Since I believe we are energy, our energy is pushed to the other realm and the ones that we have left behind absorb some of our energy, which is why I believe grief is painful. The other realm is a place you make it. It has no rules or laws. You just are. In the other realm or Heaven you choose whether you need more experience or lessons here on Earth, or if you are ready to evolve into a greater energy. You make a deal with source, God, universal power...deal contract, whatever you wish to refer to this next life. You know what you need in the other realm as you are not restricted to 3d. You are in a higher dimension. 5d and above. Of course I am still working on my own beliefs but I hope this helps someone understand what they to on their journey :)

Personally im not too sure, however id like to think that what happens to you depends on your beliefs. Personally i believe in reincarnation and have gone through past life regression meditations multiple times each with different outcomes so i believe we will reicarnate at some point

I believe we go on to the next life. Maybe some people go to heaven, maybe some reincarnate, and maybe some sleep for eternity. But I do believe we have lived a life before the one we have now.
