So what does happen when you die?

I hope I don't get asked to leave for sharing my thoughts.
This isn't original - I had an aunt to believed the following and she related it to me and to my sisters and somehow as I age, it seems to make more and more sense.
The body is the vessel for the soul. It is given life-form to live, educate, adopt morals, realities, choices, honest living or dishonest existence. Once the body dies, the soul moves at its own volution to
take up a place in another body which may have new teaching to learn, or more advanced living choices.
I think the human soul is an amazing gift for whatever reason and it hurts me to think our souls are worn out in one human life term (or even shorter due illness or accident)....when it has not had time to understand how the life was lived and why.
I think the soul is mapping and learning constantly while active for whatever reason I have no way to understand.

Thank you JLM
I always feel I should be wearing a turban when I write things like I did.
Once I made my thoughts known to my friends after a card game broke up and got laughed into the kitchen....it took me a while to calm down because I was serious. Many people disagree violently with the idea.
My thought whether real or not gives me an explanation of why we are and why we live as we do making mistakes, making huge advances, giving help and killing others...... it all must be learned.
We have much existence to live through and one lifetime cannot present all the issues or tests.

Actually there is quite a bit of documented evidence of reincarnation.

I'm sure your public library will have all the material on him if you haven't already read his books.
Idle speculation on a possible afterlife is amusing sophistry on a warm summer Saturday! I think I'll barbeque a few ground-bovine patties to give them life after a demise too horrible to contemplate!
Now you are going to think about that demise the whole time you are eating. I'm glad it's only 4:30 here so that I don't have to contemplate dinner quite yet. Potato salad and BBQ'd pork chops tonight. Hotter than Hades here today. Good thread I guess!!
Yep, I think he was doing dope about 10 years ahead of most other folks. :lol::lol::lol:
Without making this very long when you die it is like being put out for an operation. One moment you are aware and the next moment you are aware again the 'room' has changed considerably. There is a possibility of two places you will become aware again. The first see Jerusalem and the land of Israel in total detestation as described in bore than a dozen prophetic passages in the OT that have the words 'that day'. The rest become awake at a meeting in Heaven wher manking can look on the face of GOD again.
If we were created in the image of god, would that not be like looking in a mirror?
There are many accounts of people who have flat-lined and been completely aware of what was going on around them before they were resurrected (resuscitated), I being one of them on at least two occasions. Our consciousness is not centered in our brains. It is something separate from our physical bodies. That is the part that is eternal. It also seems rather unfair to have only one kick at the cat. It would be impossible to experience what it is to be human in just one life time. The only thing about reincarnation that is speculative to me, is the mechanism by which it happens.
I don't believe in re encarnation, souls, heaven, gods, or other such things, but I do know that we will supply
a good bit of 'bone meal'(calcium) to the earth, which is needed, so we are still giving after death.

You're not sh*ttin' us are you? :lol::lol::lol::lol:
That accounts for the body (vehicle, container, whatever) but what about the rest of us? :smile:
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo."

We were made as a likeness in form and attitude (aware) That is why we were made to be a pair rather than a single individual. The reason the Bible gives for that being held back to that certain day is a clue as to why even Moses only saw His back. We are in sin and being in sin when GOD looks at you means you go to the lake right then and there. That also help people define what that day begins like for the ones recently released resurrected. The ones cannot 'be interviewed' if theiy have their past sins still attached.
Something I read is some astrology book a long time ago mentioned that we travel through all 12 signs. We come into the world as an Aries and we keep coming back as an Aries until we have 'lived' with those characteristics, once you master those you 'move on' to the next sign until you master Pisces and at that point the article refused to speculate what happened when you died at the end of the 12 Signs.
I'm going to stick with a 'relatively short life' where things are less that perfect a sleep and then a 'new day' when things go right every time on the 1st try (after some training) and once you reach 120 you gain the title 'old man' and that is the start of a stage that lasts for eternity in a place that is as large as the current heavens that belong to the Angels.
It is in the lake that there will be problems that are much worse than what any of us can experience in this lifetime. Death in the Bible is 3 days and 3 nights rather than something that is called 'near death'. It should be nothing more than part of your life flashing before your eyes.
If you believe we are recycled then perhaps you can answer this. What is the purpose of not retaining any memories of our previous lives is it is some sort of quest. Would it be cheating if a person intentionally messed up the correct version of some sign just because it was so much 'fun' doing the opposite?
