Personally i think nowhere, before we existed there was nothing, therefore after we exist, there is nothing, when we die that's it, that's the end.

thats my opinion.

what's yours?
 
i like to think that when we die we release massive chemicals to cope with death

upon release your brain goes into a kind of neuro-coma
because of the mass nuero transmitter reactions you completely lose your sense of time
you also loose your sense of ego and bias
you begin to journey through your memories because thats all your brain has to distract you from whats going on
since ur time is distorted, you have ample time to decipher all your most memorable expeience
you then judge them from an unbiased perspective relating to your unique sense of right and wrong.
as you journey, you begin to decide how your fate will be at the end of the journey
basically you are your own judge for what happens next.

maybe your perception of time can be so distorted that you begin your new life. hell maybe you go through that one and die in it too. and its a never ending cycle of afterlifes. it could be in a formula (1/x) where the limit is zero, but it never reaches 0.

maybe the world ends the split second you specifically die.
this is ur universe = ur god = ur brain.

i like to day dream.

Now that's interesting... I've actually had all of these thoughts myself. Could this be a sign of commonalities universal?

I once came up with the interpretation that we live "past" and "future" lives in a nonlinear fashion - meaning that your next life could be as an elephant born tomorrow, or a bird in the year 2671, or even a prehistoric human. The extension of this being that we all take turns at being Julius Caesar, a fly swatted by 4-year-old Mother Teresa, Hitler, Ghandi, Gautama, and every being in-between. Perhaps Earth's collective mind, Gaia. Perhaps universal consciousness.

This.

Consciousness is just a mix of cells, chemicals and energy. My ego, personality and identity is due to the precise configuration of these things.

Once i die, so does this complex network of cells, chemicals and energy.
 
Well, in the US, you go six feet under.

As for mental state, I believe your actions influence the world as a whole, no matter how small the choices you make. When you die, all that is left is the influence you made on the world. Oh and the energy you give back to the Earth by rotting in the soil. :)
 
There is a part of the brain that releases a flood of white light at the final moment. It's just neurochemicals. The sugar coating on the final and bitterest pill of all....
 
Nowhere,I will end forever.Worms will eat my body and plants will grow from now fertile ground,particles from my body will be part of these worms and plants but it will not really be me,becose I am not just pile pf particles but very specific constalation of these particles is what make me what I am.
 
We cease to exist. There was no beforelife, so why should there be an afterlife?
 
i think that because of the large amounts of DMT released during death. we go into a DMT trip until our brain dies and then its just like a never ending sleep with no dreaming. but i could be wrong and this is only a theory.
 
First we should define, who or what is this 'you' or 'we' we are talking about here. And by death you mean what?

Of course I could assume, that you are talking of these bodies with minds seemingly 'trapped inside of them'. In this case, if the body stops functioning the way it does atm (which one might call death), it just stops functioning - there would be no more thoughts and most likely no more awareness of anything.

I see the need to ponder about ones afterlife as mechanics of the human ego (the mind) - a delusional view, which arises from the the dysfunctional belief, that we are somehow separate of the world we live 'in' or that there's something about 'us' that is separate. These thoughts about afterlife are fueled exactly by these delusional views. Since we are life, we want to survive as long as possible and when the mind comes in, it creates an individual who wants to survive, when in fact there is no separate individual, but merely an appearance of one.
But on the other hand it's completely natural and there's nothing inherently wrong with this. Just a step in human evolution.

An apposite quote on the human condition when it comes to the inevitability of a death:

"Millions long for immortality who do not know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon." Susan Ertz

I like the idea that death is an eschatalogical event (non religious), along the lines of

explored by sssssssss.

I personally believe in the immortality of the soul, a Gnostic return to the source, departing Socrates' 'empty vessel', transcending the material world, an indescribable transition, a true 'leap of faith'.
