Decay.

Since the OPs question is what happens AFTER the decay and all that stuff, I'd say:

In Islam teachings, you stay in your grave, untill the day of judgement, where everyone comes out from their graves, waiting for their turn in judgement.
Allah shows everybody he's judging a book where every single actions he made in his life is written, and then the judged go either to Hell or to Heaven, or if they're were an OK, but not so good person, they stay in Hell enough for their sins.

There's a whole lot more detail to this, and also, it may be very inaccurate, since it's written in Arabic and I had to translate it from my mind.

I think that even after death we keep visualising, for the brain is not dead immediately. We might undergo a strange series of visual and emotional snapshots; there might be a memory flashback. This might last for sometime, till the whole body is ... well, dead.

WoW, i just freaked my self out...!

After Life?

I wanted to leave "nothing" here to explain nothingness, but, I mean, it's hard to explain or understand nothing. Which is why so many people fear it.

It's not that bad, when it happens, there will be no "you" left to be bothered by the idea of it.

From all the different people that have either written on this thread or i have read on other threads, it seems like the census is that they dont believe in anything or that they just dont want to think about what happens to them. Its very interesting, cause at the same time i looked at the "what is your religion and why?" i havent really seen any of the christians respond in usual "I will go to heaven or hell..." kind of statement

I don't really believe in the kind of heaven/hell afterlife. I really don't know. There was a time when I believed in reincarnation, but now...I'll believe it ONLY when I see it.

the first couple of times it was pretty boring, now it's not so bad!

The same thing that happends everytime I die.. I wake up.

Your computer doesn't have consciousness, it is a dumb machine. Your computer is only logical, not biological, psychological, physiological, neurological, it is not a self-sustaining biological organism that feels emotions & physical sensations, has a multifacited memory, that has an imagination of immense creativity, that is capable of multiple dimensions of consciousness, that is inherantly part of the creative energy.

I think you made a poor choice for comparison.

I posted what follows in the Backyard today, I won't make a habit of doing this, but had to put a copy here:

The German (or was he Austrian?) psychologist Carl Jung's commentary on the Tibetan Book of the Dead is really interesting, far more so than the actual text of the Tibetan Book... to the Westerner, or at least to me 30 years ago!

The bottom line of that book, according to Jung, is that upon death, IF you don't recognise the small light in the distance as the ultimate truth & move towards it, THEN you experience the illusion of getting what you believe you deserve to get, after you die. The knowledge that you are actually dead leaves you in this illusory world of karmic deserts. Which from memory lasts for 48 earth days, unless you realise the truth, foregoing the illusion & join the light. (I could have the number of days slightly wrong there, for all it matters! )

After spending time in the paradise realms for all your positive actions, you then sink down into the realms of the wrathful deities, who cause you to suffer an equal amount of suffering as what you have caused in your life.

Eventually you see a male & female copulating, upon seeing this you realise that you don't have a body & you want one, upon which you are trapped by a womb & start the process of being born into another incarnation on the planet earth!

So, if this process is true, then the members of the various religions would have their own illusory process upon death, according to the strength of belief in the literal dogma.

The average Christian for example would talk to Saint Peter at the pearly gates & probably be allowed in :-) then see all the angels & thrones & characters that have been programmed into their consciousness, usually for most of their life. After which all the other deceased family members & friends & pets, would be joyously seen, & over a period of time a diminishing of joyous experience until Hell & eventually the Devil with his horns, tail & pitchfork arrives. :-)

The exact method of the Christian escape from entrapment in Hell would vary I'm sure. Perhaps there is a bar or strip joint down there, or a blue movie joint where the Christian realises that they are dead, without a real body & get trapped by a womb for another great trip to Gaia!

You know, I think that a movie featuring the after death experiences of all the different religious belief systems would be really popular... It may show that the most likely way to miss out on returning to the creative source is by believing in, or trusting your soul to anything other than yourself!

I believe that there is only one substance. In life, we have the illusion of being distinct, but in death, we merge into the oneness.

fact1:I believe I can die.
fact2:We're all gonna die!!!
fact3:I'm just being realistic.
I don't believe in afterlife

no idea. i used to have this fantasy that heaven would be an endless golf course that i'd play with all my favorite friends and there would be a grille on every teebox with hot dogs and hamburgers.

I believe that in the after life you are given a chance to right your wrongs, and if you should find yourself back down here you come back as those you've judged harshly/unfairly to see or get a better understanding of what it is like dealing with life in their shoes.

I believe you a buried in the ground.

meaning?
I get it now...sorry my bad....

Well in the big picture - thinking cosmic time here - you are made of star dust and you will return to star dust.

All part of the process - enjoy the ride while you can.

i become worm food

lol that reminds me of a scene in patch adams
