Have you ever really thought about what will happen when you die?
I mean, after taking your last breath, would your vision darken? Would you see a light at one point in the dark and will you follow it? Or would you just suddenly feel like you’re being burned alive?
Would you suddenly see everything on this planet but no one will see you? Will you get stuck on the abyss called purgatory and wait for your loved one’s prayers so you can reach heaven?
And if you do get to heaven, what will you do there? If its hell, will you get to see adolf Hitler?
What is heaven? Isn’t heaven relative to the person’s ideals? I mean.. can I drink my kurant seven there? Isn’t hell relative too? I mean if hell is full of evil things, can I get cigarettes there? Or is hell just the absence of heaven, just as darkness is the absence of light.. its simply not there..
Or maybe that’s how we are. The second our heart ceases to beat, we just.. cease to exist. Maybe we wont be able to see, feel, hear or smell anything. Maybe we cant even think anymore.. after all, our brain is dead. Is our soul capable of thought? Is there such thing as a soul?
Maybe, when we die, we just die. We become nothing. We cease to be.
Is it even possible to imagine how it is to be nothing?

Maybe? You don't know? There is a heaven, there is a hell, and you have described them well. Do you know where you will be? We are all eternal souls. We will live forever, but where? The great teacher, Jesus, said, "For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life." He also said, "Noone can come to God except through me."
You can know for sure where you will go when you die. Do you? I do!

I once had an operation, and while they adminstered the anethesia drip, they had me count backwards from 100. At 98, I closed my eyes for what felt like a second, and when I opened them the operation was over. I was in the recovery room, and three hours had passed out of my life. I had no memory of it. I believe this is how death would be - if there was nothing after death.
But, what if there is something? If there is something after death; we would all choose heaven. There are times when I am talking with God or reading my bible that I feel filled. It is hard to explain the feeling - it is like being overfilled with joy.
It only last a few precious seconds, but it is the best feeling I have ever experienced. Also, it is exhausting - so I know in our human bodies, we could not stay in that state for long without burning up.
I believe that feeling is heaven. Once we shed our human bodies, for those of us who go to heaven, we will feel like that all the time. In that state, nothing else matters: not cigarettes, eating, drinking - absolutely nothing - because we are so overflowing with joy.
I shudder to think if hell is the opposite of that feeling.

Great text. Since my father died, I often wonder 'Is there life after death?' Who knows??
We cease to exist and go back to the earth from whence we came... to carry on for a future generation.
That Day Will Never Come
When I am born, that day will never come However, if ever I was... Oh, how I would long to be rocked in the cradle of civilization I have been circling the rings of Saturn all these years I feel to be caught spinning in galactic gears If I get home safely tonight I will then know where I live Otherwise, I will camp my feet where the moment decrees I had painted an arrow towards the future As soon as it dried it disappeared Looking deep into the past There were shades of shadows of moving targets I could carry my weight in gold I could also break my back hauling heaven Both are made heavy by longing and want I am made to snap the hinges of heavens golden gates I enter and leave like a tourist, barefoot and ragged Rich as a river of liquid light I come and go as I please Gates, doors, walls These things are a little like rain, only rain When I die, and I promise you that will never happen, The entire universe will turn into a mustard seed Hot dogs for everyone!

that's the reason why life is life, all those questions without answers make human beings strive, survive, invent, discover, live and yes, die. when i die, i don't really care where i'll go, all i care is about the people i will leave behind. you see, hell for me is the living world, and heaven??? hmmmmm... i'll tell you as soon as i get there... maybe 50 years from now! still gorgeous i hope! keep cool... don't ponder too much... let them think of you until they lose their sanity! ;)
Lol there is no heaven,nor hell...just nothingness and you have already experienced it..well if you call it that. I'm talking about Before-birth-state. People who believe in heaven want to see their loved ones,they want hope and refuse to believe that they will never ever see them again..i guess i can't blame em,but no..death is the end,you should be glad there is an ending to your suffering,to everything.
