What happens to the sould after you die?

apparently depends on your state of mind. One thing is clear - Death is a lie, however how you die can have an influence on your spirit.

People that have a very long painful illness are often so drained by this that they have to stay in "hospital" on the other side for a spell, while healers feed energy to them. Of course they always make a full recovery.

Most people just pass over to the astral world and carry on with their life and goals.

I have heard of one account somewhere that really devout christian types are so commited to the scriptures that there are literally hundreds of thousands of souls fast asleep, awaiting judgement day. Of course in doing this they are exercising their free will and thus are allowed to do so.

Me, I expect to pass over to the astral world, review my life and lessons learned, decide if more action is needed to ascend higher and if necessary, return to earth to continue my lessons.

Hopefully, when judgement day finally arrives, I hope I will have progressed far enough to pass the test. One attempt at life, then sleep is not for me, I fear that I am not yet ready for the test.

What exactly do you think a soul is? What properties does it have? What part of 'you' resides in the soul?

If it's postulated that consciousness, or awareness, or sense of self resides in the soul, it's difficult to see how this can be reconciled with the complete oblivion which accompanies general anaesthesia. How could a straightforward chemical, injected into the bloodstream, anaesthetise a soul so that it effectively ceases to exist during this time? If consciousness, in the form of a soul, were some kind of supernatural faculty, it would seem implausible that it could be completely disabled by a chemical.

How about some of the other things which we regard as essential parts of what makes a person what they are? How about love, compassion, reason, empathy, memory, conscious thought, character, 'spirituality' and so on? Well, there is really no plausible doubt that all these things are properties of the physical brain - We can alter all of these properties very simply with alcohol or other drugs, and observe how they change in people who have suffered significant brain damage. Previously placid people become uncontrollably violent, intelligent people become imbeciles, and so on. Stimulate the brain artificially, and the subject reports corresponding mental activity, e.g. 'religious experiences'. We can see from brain research that all these things - thought, emotion, sensation, character traits and so on - are correlated with activity in the brain, and some things can be identified with specific areas of the brain.

So, if all these faculties and characteristics of what we regard as the 'person' reside in the physical brain, as seems to be undeniably the case, and they all cease when the person dies, then what is left to be attributed to a 'soul'? As far as I can ascertain: Nothing. If there is no part of us that can continue after death, then there is no 'afterlife'... and if there is no afterlife, then most of religion is null and void.

Actually when people die; they're asleep in the grave. Death is called a sleep (Matt.9:24; John 11:11; 1Cor.15:51; 1Thess.5:10).

The spirit goes back to God that gave it!(Eccles.12:7; Psalm 146:4)

The Bible describes three hells.

SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL

The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.

GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.

PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.

ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,

MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES

1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY

GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL

The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.

MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE

MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL

TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL

This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.

2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

THE THREE HEAVENS

There's 3 heavens.

First Heaven = This is also called the firmament or expanse of heaven. It is the heaven where the birds fly and where the clouds give rain. (Gen.1:26; 2:20; 8:2 & 1Kings 18:45)

Second Heaven = This refers to outerspace where the sun, moon and stars can be found. (Gen.22:17 & Exodus 32:13 & Joshua 10:13)

Third Heaven = The Apostle Paul tells us that the heaven of God's abode is the "third heaven." In the Old Testament this is often designated by the phrase "the heaven of heavens." (Joshua 2:11 & Psalms 11:4 & 2Corinthians 12:2 equated with v.4 = paradise)

THERE ARE TWO KINGDOMS: ONE ON EARTH AND THE OTHER ONE COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.

The 1st Kingdom of Heaven =

DAN.7:27 = "AND THE KINGDOM AND DOMINION, AND THE GREATNESS OF THE KINGDOM UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, WHOSE KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, AND ALL DOMINION SHALL SERVE AND OBEY HIM."

REV.5:10 = "AND HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: AND WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH."

The 2nd kingdom of Heaven =

AFTER 1,000 YEARS = A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH-HOLY CITY COMING DOWN FROM HEAVEN = REV.21:1-4; ISAIAH 65:17-25; 66:1,22 AND ETC.

SO HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO---

ISAIAH 66:21; ZECH.14:9-11 = "BUILD HOUSES, PLANT VINEYARDS, EAT VINEYARDS"

ISAIAH 66:23; ZECH.14:16-19 = "WORSHIP FROM ONE NEW MOON TO ANOTHER AS ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER"

JESUS WILL BE GIVING CITIES TO THE SAINTS INWHICH THEY WILL BE TEACHING OTHERS THE TRUE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE = MATT.25:14-23; EZEKIEL 36:10,33; LUKE 13:26; ISAIAH 61:4

WE WON'T MARRY OR BE GIVEN UNTO MARRIAGE = MATT.22:30

BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE PLAYING IN THE STREETS = ZECHARIAH 8:4-5,8

MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH = PSALM 37:9-11; MATT.5:5; REV.5:10

the soul is the part of u that makes you yourself. what happens to it at death depends on ur religion.

Christianity, Judaism, Islam: if the soul is good = heaven, if not then hell.

Hindu: soul is reincarnated i.e. returns to another body depending on how good it's been, if really good then it escapes reincarnation cycle to fuse with the life-force type thing.

Jedi Knight: soul joins with the Force

Pagan: soul has an afterlife e.g. Viking = Valhallah

Greek/ Roman: soul goes to Hades, which is the underworld.

Aristotle: soul dies when the body dies, tho non-personal reason may be transcedent.

Modern materialist: soul does not exist, so nothing can happen to it, when we die, we die and that's it.

i am not specialist but i believe from hearsay that when you die the sould leave your body as in the 'ghost'. then it start to wander. if it got some direction to go it will head for it but those which are unsettled are believed to be left around. those which get their places must be the one which get employed as in our true world and those unemployed get the torture as in real world. so better not mess about a lot.

This truly depends on your beliefs. My beliefs are that the soul goes to heaven or to hell. If you lead a good life and believe in God and Jesus and spread his words and deeds, then you go to heaven. But I also believe that others can come into heaven if they were not raised with this belief system. Some believe that your soul goes to another to create a new life. So you just need to search this out for yourself.

The Bible says souls die. It's another word for a person. Ah, the spirit - now that is another manner! It is said to return to God to be reuined with the resurrected body.

We are the living soul but after death, our spirit will be taken by GOD and when final judgement comes, sinners will be punished and the good will be sitting with GOD to heaven and have everlasting life

Depends on what religion you are, and what you believe. I'm Christian.. so my soul is going to heaven or hell when I die.

It gets recycled and put back on earth - where and how depends on how good or bad you were when you was here the previous time!
