| Source: http://www.sunilrajguru.com/25-things/10-things-that-may-happen-to-us-after-we-die%E2%80%A6/ 1. Our memories and thoughts float for eternity in a void. We live our life and collect memories, thoughts and dreams. When we die, everything perishes save these. In the void, we keep thinking, imagining, dreaming… till eternity. 2. Each of us becomes a star. I read in the foreword of a book by Arthur C Clarke that scientists had discovered about 100 billion stars. And 100 billion people have walked the Earth so far. That means there’s a star for every person who dies. Maybe that’s what happens to us. When we die, we become a star, mighty and big and full of energy, with the power of sustaining worlds. Grand isn’t it? . 3. Don’t take yourself too seriously; you are merely part of a computer program for some higher entity. This has been thought of in some form or the other in notably the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the Matrix series. We are all merely tiny cogs in a giant wheel of which none of us understand or will ever understand. What happens when a part perishes? Nothing. It just ceases to exist and is replaced by another part. You and I are merely “replaceable parts” my friend! 4. Hello! Where are you? We are already dead! This one was thought up by writers centuries back. We were part of a glorious existence before this life and we all messed up big time! That’s why we are here on Earth, which is actually the Hell of the previous world. We are doomed to be here in some form or other till eternity. 5. We all become ghosts. We all become ghosts and wander on this Earth indefinitely. The world is full of the ghosts of all the people, animals and creatures who ever walked this Earth. Since ghosts are made of zero matter and occupy zero matter, they all occupy the same space as we do. They are mere observers or maybe have a world very much like that of Septimus Heap. So right now I (who am writing this blog) and you (who are reading it) are surrounded by thousands of ghosts. 6. We all join with the Great Soul. There was a Great Soul of which we were a part. After death we go back and rejoin it. (An old concept in Hinduism) We were all part of a collective consciousness before birth and will become part of it after death. It’s all interconnected. The Web of Life et alia. 7. We simply get recycled. What happens to a car when we stop using it? It goes to the scrap yard. Then it gets recycled. Who knows which piece ends up where? Ditto with us. Some part of our body becomes the soil, the air, some animal… Our memories and thoughts get spread out too and become part of the consciousness of Mother Earth. 8. Nothing. That’s right. Nothing happens. We just cease to exist. There is no soul. Just as our body perishes, so does our mind, along with its memories, thoughts and desires. Like the last scene of the Terminator in the Terminator movie. Switch off. Blank. 9. Re-incarnation. Re-incarnation Type A: You keep getting re-incarnated as a human being again and again and again maybe till the end of the world. Re-incarnation Type B: You are a lower life form. Then you get re-incarnated into a higher and higher form, till you finally become a human. You’re one step away from God. (An old concept in Hinduism) Re-incarnation Type C: Earth is just one in billions and billions of existences. You keep getting re-incarnated in all of them endlessly. 10. Heaven. Hell. Judgment Day. This is the oldest of the lot. You live a life on Earth. You do good deeds and bad deeds. Then you are judged on the basis of that and spend an eternity in heaven or hell (or purgatory). God’s timescale, but this universe will go on for billions of years. Imagine doing something for a few billion years based on something which you’ve done for 60-70 years. Sounds like an exam paper, very unGodlike. Then what about poor souls who died as babies. Then what are the rules of karma etc etc. Sounds like very complicated mathematics. --------------------------------------------------------- Which of these do you agree in or wish to believe in? Or do you have your own theory of what will happen after death. Which one would be the worst for you? Why? Too me, I somehow think Number 1 is how it will be, we will just float in an never ending dream, Always thinking. Number: 2 Would be kinda funny and weird...and maybe cool. Who wouldn't want to be a star and literal at that. Number 4 could make sense, we just forgot about out past glorious life. That could explain why earth has so many problems and diseases and shit. Number 8 would be the worst, plain nothing is scary. But also the most logical one. Number 10 is overrated >.> |

| 8 seems the most logical to me. |
 |
| Some of these alternatives man. You are hilarious |
| Come visit my town // I apologize in advance for my second-rate English Join my fan club // Improve the transport network |
| 7 looked more or less legit and then this phrase happened: Our memories and thoughts get spread out too and become part of the consciousness of Mother Earth. So I guess 8. |
| Lucy would vote number two, or so Cana said |
| Well 7 is what happens to all dead bodies, except that last part seems a little bogus. But reincarnation would certainly be interesting. |
| You should add a type of option like "living your dream" in an imaginary world, not Heaven because after how it's defined you know you're there if you are there. 8 is the obvious that will happen. 7 is bullshit at the end and is part of 8. 2 would be a nice option, a bit boring though. |

| Even tho it's harsh, it is the reality. Vote for 8. |
| eight. Why in the world would you think it's scary? Or that it would be worst? I don't get it. I would have gone for seven (which is what happens anyway) if not for that cheesy sentence. |
| SMH |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| Strangely I've thought of all of these before on my own. I don't know which one I would prefer but I don't want 8. |
     Short of the day: Monotonous Purgatory(MAL) ✰Public Domain Club | One Piece Club✰ |
| The only one we have proof of is 8, but it's just a matter of belief. |
| "He's not dead, he's Katsura." |
| Clearly it's number three. We are all part of a higher beings program and atoms are merely clusters of pixels, known to us as quarks and neutrinos. Everything can be quantified and thus, programmed. |
| I don't give a shit. |
| Reincarnation type A is pretty awesome. Just take my word for it. |
 |
| I don't believe in souls/spirits or any form of an afterlife, so 8. The worst for me would be 1, 5 and 10. I don't want to be conscious forever. |
| Do you have to believe something in order to think about it? Fuck y'all are boring. |
JavierR said: 9 because I don't like 8. 9 isn't really that different than 8, IMO. I mean, sure, you've been 'reborn', but you're no longer you. You have a different name, a different body, a different family, different thoughts, feelings, memories.. There's nothing left of who you once were, so you don't remember dying. Just like with 8. You aren't aware of being dead. |

| How about Plato's rendition where our "soul", as he defines it, exists prior to our bodies. All knowledge is recollection and thus our souls are immortal. |

Here're my thoughts on these #1 Meh would be interesting for awhile I suppose. Although I would like it if I could off myself somehow... Existing forever in any state would just be awful. #2 What the fuck? #3 Goryo said: What the fuck? #4 I'm getting a headache from this one... There's already enough shit I've got to think about concerning life after death... much less Death after death after life. #5 Imma haunt the shit outta you. (In all seriousness I think this is bullshit) #6 Meh no opinion. I might go for it if I could retain my memories and individuality when I merge with the "great soul" #7 I agree with everything in this besides the "mother earth" bullshit. when we die we become maggot food. That's as far as the concept of recycling goes concerning our dead bodies (imo). #8 In my opinion, this is the most plausible scenario of what might happen when we die #9 This wouldn't really be my cup of tea unless there was a way I could remember everything I've experienced in my past lives while I'm waiting to be reborn. #10 Part of me wants to believe this is true, because I want to believe that people who've done disgusting and disturbing things will be punished for it, but another part of me just screams "bullshit" It is my belief that we are nothing but food for worms in the end. |

But then don't I have to drink from that freakin' river and forget everything to be reincarnated back on this shit hole? |

| I believe in the recycling of matter, but do not believe in the continuance of a "soul" or memories. If you want to see what happens when someone dies, then watch them die and be buried. Anything beyond that is superstition. |
| Although I firmly believe 8 to be the logical option, I'd much rather have 2. My mother used to tell me that when I was little because I kept asking where my great grandmother went. |

| #8 wouldn't be so bad. If I ceased to exist, then I wouldn't have the capacity to experience any negative emotions towards the fact that I no longer exist. In my mind #8 is a sublime peace. Experiencing nothing is better than living forever in a boring paradise or being tortured for eternity... IMO If I could choose my own afterlife, it'd be a limbo where every story that spans across every reality has been collated, and I could choose to live the life of any person or character out of any of those "stories" and after I've experienced that person/characters life, I return to the limbo with their memories, experiences, and knowledge. That would be fun for awhile. |

| i promise a better answer later, but all i could think is: we all defecate and urinate on ourselves. |
| No clue but re-incarnation and getting recycled sound good. |
| 4 would be alpha. BUT LETS BE REAL ITS DEF 8 |
 |
| 8 – but when I kick the bucket some lucky people are going to get my organs so I guess in a strange way I get to live on and also help people... |
| 6-8 All make sense to me, but I'd much rather believe in 9A or 9C |
| I wish it would be 3 it will blow my mind. |
| 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 are actually the same thing as far as you're concerned. It doesn't matter if "you" return to a Great Soul, or get reincarnated, or anything if you lose the memories that comprise your identity. Whatever that you turn into in the next generation is not "you" anymore. |
| My subjective reviews: katsureview.wordpress.com THE CHAT CLUB. |
| I choose everything except 8. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| 8. Although deep in my mind I always hope for reincarnation so I could come back as a polar bear or some shit. |
 |
| 11. Become God and live forever yay... tho deep down I know it's 8. and it doesn't sadden me at all. would be cool if it's 5. just imagine the possibilities |

| Kind of irrelevant, but 2 reminded me of: -Lawrence M. Krauss somewhat 9b: The Egg Personally I think it's 8. |
