We will never know about it until it does not happen. And we should not think about it.

Probably exactly what appears to happen, and nothing else. We decay, whatever made us "us" is gone, thus we are gone. Identity is bound up in memories, and memories are bound up in the wet and squishy brain. When it goes, "you" are a memory in other people's minds, no more.

Maybe the takeaway aught to be, "Make good memories for others."

I think we are freed from the prison that is the human conscience. With the loss of the ego and personality we become one again with the universe and are absorbed back into the the Mother stream of energy. Then we can choose to be re-born, or re-made, again - but we are not limited to just becoming a human again on just this planet - the options of the universe are beyond our limited imagination with the minds we have been given to work with in our current state of being so we cant comprehend what was before and what might come after, but maybe we have glimmers of the possibilities in our dreams. At least I do.

Actually, I've read a lot of near death accounts from people who have officially died and then revived after a given period of time. In fact my Dad, as a minister, worked in Hospice care for several years and he told me some weird things that have happened to people upon their deaths. (He always said that it doesn't look like it does in the movies when people die; it's not dramatic. It's quiet and fast. If you look away or blink you might miss the moment when they leave.) Honestly, with the information I have received from various people death apparently is different for everyone. There are a lot of similar cases from people across the board, but there's a lot of varying experiences. The one thing that I see as a similarity among many near death cases is that our perception of time shatters. Those who claim to have had these near death experiences (NDE's) describe being outside of time. In the Orthodox Christian church we believe God is outside of time. So if I were to associate these ideas. I would say that if God is outside of time, and people with NDE's say they feel outside of time, then maybe we find ourselves closer in ways to God's very existence. ?
