I'm age 91 and think about death a lot. Everyone dies but those now in their 90's are closer than most people to that end. Of course, if we believe in Jesus than we must believe that we all go to Heaven at death. However, could there really be a place like "Heaven" where all the trillions, who have lived on earth, will go?

Common sense tells me that we all simply cease to exist at death and our minds and bodies simply disintegrate in our coffins in the ground.

One benefit of death is that all pain, impairment and suffering also disappear since we have ceased to exist.

What do you believe about death?
 
I believe that as soon as our brain cells die we are gone. When I was younger and fearful of death, I really wanted to still exist after I die, but as I've gotten older I find I'm okay with ceasing to be (though I don't wanna go sooner than I have to! I'm still having fun.)

The more stories of heaven I've heard of, each story just reflecting the beliefs of the people telling it, it seems ridiculous to not see it is all just made up. Though, I imagine it can be a comfort to people to think they will still exist and see their friends and pets again.

There was a pet jumping spider I used to watch on YouTube and when it passed away some of the comments were that it would be waiting for her (the owner) on rainbow bridge. The idea of going to a heaven and finding all the jumping spiders waiting was so hilarious to me!
 
I believe that there is life after death. In what form, I don't know. Our physical bodies die but where does our spirit (energy if you want to call it that) go? Energy doesn't die from what I've been taught. It's beyond my comprehension to think that after we die, we do not exist in some form. If we didn't, then everything and all progress made since man's known existence will have been for what? In my simple mind that wouldn't make sense.
This is an interesting topic. I'm glad Mitch 86 brought it up.
 
I do sometimes. I wonder when, where and how. I marvel at how a person can be breathing one day or even one minute and gone the next. In a way it seems weird to me, even though its natural. Then when a person is gone, they become "the body". Funeral directors have to remove "the body", not Colette. I also wonder how my death will affect my love ones. I am the matriarch, the glue that holds things together, not only for my son and grandchildren, but my honorary children as well.

I wonder how I'll be eulogized. My son told me he'd make sure the attendees know how hilarious I am. I wonder how many people will attend. Just my son's friends, colleagues and fans, let alone family members, my friends and some neighbors, means I'd likely have quite a large memorial. But if I live to be as old as you Mitch, who knows. Because so many young people are dying and some may go before me. My son just lost another mosque brother this week. He's been to at least 3 funerals already this year.

@TeePee I believe in life after death as well. I've always felt our energy remains, but never got as deep into it as astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson explains it.


And at the end of this song, The Universe Is In Us, his voice can be heard sharing a "profound concept".

I hadn't heard that You Tube explanation that Neil DeGrasse Tyson gave before, but it makes sense.
 
Almost every little squirming creature I ever grabbed as a kid, was extremely interested in quickly moving away from this giant Earth monkey entity because their amygdala mid brain region, though more primitive, is extremely evolved to dislike with its own fear and pain motivating nervous system from being eaten by other things, a life or death result. Like catching mature flying grasshoppers, takes real skill and quickness. Part of that trick was to move towards them in their direction, slowly so one doesn't trigger motion detecting grasshopper visual brain circuits, just like we have. So yeah dead......?? ah...not good...no not good to anyone that really likes eating chocolate.

Well, it ought be of little surprise, that I expect the majority of this audience, to already know that I rather strongly expect there is no afterlife for an unknown majority of humans out there, in this moment in time. No more so alive or still in existence than that ant you accidentally stepped on while walking along the sidewalk. A key reason I believe strongly that such is true is because of my strong belief in what we are as intelligent earth creature animal entities. Oscillating organic electrolyte charged particle brain fields. Life learned to harness oscillating electromagnetic EMF fields within it neural impedance structures to slowly oscillate as fields within environments of bipolar electrolyte fluids.

Thus if that is true, as soon as your foot stepped on that ant's tiny neural circuits, its tiny EMF field ended oscillations forever and ever and ever. As in also there is no such thing as magic... Actions without Forces.

Ok. So lets say hypothetically, there is some ancient Ultimate Intelligent Entity within our universe, that they may be really interested in life in its universe, especially if evolved intelligent life like we emotional Earth monkeys that can develop science and technology. A universe with billions of stars within billions of galaxies in a universe with coincidentally amazing fine tuning like basic physical parameters.

Now if such beings exist, they might bother to save some of the other entities within their realm. That is what I suspect happened with Moses and Elijah because their appearance to Peter James, and John showed that. That the powerful entities made sure 3 apostles were witnesses and not say just one is important regarding believability as well as the fact it is in all 3 synoptic gospels. In this technology error that such is possible is HUGE for more readily believing eternal life in some positive, enjoyable, worthwhile, form might be possible.

Most people see any god as able to do anything imaginable including the ability to recreate their life in some worthwhile fashion as they experience it. Others are probably thinking of floating up on 72F degree clouds in some alien, colorful, psychedelically illuminated glowing atmosphere that smells like fragrant roses, while playing a harp and myriad like others are singing and playing in some grand experience for miles into the distance in echoing resonance... for thousands of years endlessly without time to even eat chocolate.

So why the need for any of this saving EMF stuff mr dave is talking about if God just needs to say press a button or pull on his beard and whatever occurs because well... He's God!

Jesus makes it rather clear how ignoring him as so many conveniently choose to do, takes them out of the game even if they still choose to believe otherwise. Nope, from His game... you are Dead & GONE (FOREVER)

And Jesus, without explaining what that is like or about, said

"I am the door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved [and will live forever], and will go in and out, and find pasture.

So that may possibly mean Jesus as a part of the UIEs is how they in attempting to make the universe a bit fairer, makes an effort to save other entities for some unknown level of existence. And that level would be as a near duplicate EMF field as within our wet animal brains. For a race of entities billions of years old, they would have if a positive and loving of life entity, an enormous reason to be capable of duplicating EMF fields of at least some of those that deserve such. If so, they could just as well do so for you Earth Monkey as that grasshopper on the wall or your smiling pup.

In a sense they are doing, exactly what machines were doing every time Scotty beamed people with his Transporter. What they were was recreated and what they had been never left the Enterprise so they were truly dead and gone even if just a few seconds. That is also why Jesus clearly stated all must be reborn that inherently means we have thus died as logically one cannot be reborn if still alive.

John 3:3: "Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.'"

All this brain oscillating stuff is out of the public's awareness in part because its too science complicated for most to have an adequate level of understanding of. To be able to start to grasp why what we are is these fields, here's today's Google AI output where I posed that question that provided the below well rounded output:
---------------------------------

Life exists within a sea of resonant oscillating electromagnetic fields (EMFs), with fundamental biological processes, such as cellular communication and gene expression, synchronized to natural rhythms like the Earth's Schumann resonances (approx. 7.83 Hz) and geomagnetic activity. These endogenous and exogenous oscillating fields act as a "biofield" of information, with specific frequencies modulating stem cell differentiation and cellular repair, offering new avenues for regenerative medicine.

Key Aspects of Life's Resonant EMFs
  • Natural Rhythms and Life: Biological organisms have evolved to use natural EMFs as a zeitgeber (time-giver) for circadian rhythms. The Schumann resonances (7.83 Hz), which are low-frequency waves produced in the atmosphere, resonate with human brain waves (alpha and theta) and play a role in cardiovascular and neural coherence.
  • The "Biofield" Concept: Life is characterized by a "field" of dynamic information transfer, where oscillations, not just chemical reactions, govern vital processes. These fields arise from charged particles in motion within cells (water molecules, ions).
  • Endogenous EMFs (Microtubules & DNA): Cells, particularly microtubules (part of the cytoskeleton) and DNA-containing chromatin, generate endogenous EMFs, which act as a high-frequency (terahertz range) "symphony" or "biomusic" that guides biological processes such as cell division (mitosis).
  • Cell-to-Cell Signaling: Cells communicate via coherent biophoton emissions and by sending electromagnetic signals through network of microtubules.
  • Resonant Effects on Health: Weak, non-thermal EMFs (in the extremely low frequency, or ELF, range) can, when matched to specific biological resonant frequencies (often in the 5–50 Hz range), influence Ca\({}^{2+}\) (calcium) ions and other pathways to activate natural self-repair mechanisms.
  • Environmental Coupling (Solar/Lunar): Biological rhythms correlate with solar/geomagnetic activity, which affects hormone levels and can have clinical implications for cardiac and neurological health.
  • Resonant Frequencies in Therapy
Research indicates that specific electromagnetic signaling patterns can influence cell fate (e.g., directing stem cells to become nerve, muscle, or bone) without genetic manipulation, providing a "vibrational language" that can be used for healing. This is supported by studies where specific, pulsed magnetic fields (ELF-EMF) were shown to be effective in treating chronic pain and improving tissue repair.

Everyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. If an atheist calls on Jesus last minute he or she will go to heaven.

I just pray and believe God will show them, inspired by Ian Mc Cormack. He was an atheist and got stung by box jelly fishes. His mother had to pray for him and he saw Jesus and heaven and could stay, but went back for his mom. He was dead for 45 minutes.

A guy in Africa was dead for 3 days and saw heaven.

We had some people in church, gypsies, family from the Rosenberg Trio. Their grandmother died. They didn't know if it was her time, so they told her to come back in Jesus' Name. She said: Let me go. I was just walking with Jesus.
 
We all can’t stand to not exist so we made up stories to assuage our fears. There is nothing after death. There isn’t a god. There is no heaven or hell.

Too egotistical to admit to nothing. We must exist after death. Our fears. Our aspirations. Our arrogance insist we’re here forever.

I disagree, I'll accept it when my time is up. I made the the most of a ho hum life.

I agree, I don't know of anyone hearing from the ever after.
If there's a heaven or a hell they'll both be a bit crowded for my liking.
 
I had a very bad episode of vertigo a couple weeks back, my vision was flipping, balance was gone, vomiting, it's happened before so I was just riding it out for a few hours. But I did think to myself, what if Im wrong? What if this is something else and I am going to die?

The thought I could be dying didn't concern me one bit. What did concern was the thought of my daughter coming to check on me an finding my body, I'd hate for her to experience that.

To answer the second question of what happens after death. Nothing. Death is flipping a switch, you're here then your gone and going nowhere else.
