Your heart stops beating. Your synapses slow their firing until you are brain dead and no electrical current is flowing through the nervous system. Your body will generally expel any waste matter (air, urine, feces) being held. Sometime around this time, you will either discover that there is an afterlife of some sort, or you will blink into nothingness, with absolutely no consciousness to be aware of the fact that there is no afterlife. The body will begin the approach to rigor mortise. And bacteria will begin decomposing the body. Years and years later, only ash (and perhaps fossilized bones) will be left of your body. If there is an afterlife, you will never be able to tell anyone. If there isn't, you will never be able to tell anyone. Those who say they know the truth about the afterlife, either way, are not intellectually honest. Which is why this question will continue to evoke philosophical debate ad infinitum.

Here's what All About has to say in regards to this subject.\n\n___________\n\nWhat have we learned from life after death experiences? \n\nWe have all heard stories of people who have seemed to be dead - without vital signs for several minutes - only to be revived. Many of these people tell of traveling at high speeds through tunnels or of seeing brilliant white lights or even of coming face to face with God. \n\nThese life after death experiences raise many questions that directly reflect on Christianity - questions like, "What happens when we die?" and "Is it possible to communicate with the dead?" \n\nEven Christian believers disagree on what the Bible says on these matters. Some say those who die fall into a kind of dreamless sleep until Judgment Day. Others say the souls of the dead are immediately subjected either to Heaven or Hell, depending on whether they believe in Jesus. Still others say our souls remain conscious, but exist in a kind of limbo until the Day of Judgment arrives. \n\nLife after death experiences presuppose the soul remains conscious and aware after death. Those who have these experiences often report they retain the ability to see, to hear, to think, to feel - but they are unable to communicate with anyone. While the experience may be confusing, people report they are suffused with joy - partly as the result of being removed from the suffering of the body. \n\nIt is interesting that many life after death experiences are accompanied by a distinct sense of being two people - one physical and one spiritual. And the spiritual being is completely indifferent to the suffering self. \n\nPerhaps this is one reason the Apostle Paul tells us to die to ourselves, putting God ahead of our selfish desires: \n\n"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). \n\nResearchers report that about one in seven of those who are revived in such circumstances report seeing a brilliant light or even beings they interpret as angels, Jesus, or God. Some people report a sense of having their lives "reviewed." \n\nThe effect of the review is often beneficial and may lead some to accept God, others to rededicate themselves to what they perceive as God's purpose for them. \n\nSome Christians have claimed that after-death experiences are beyond the purview of God and are therefore demonic in nature. But it seems unlikely that being subjected to demonic influences would lead so many people to a closer walk with God. \n\nIn Luke 9:50, Jesus is asked by His followers what to do about a man who is casting out demons even though he is not a disciple. Jesus replies, "Do not stop him, for whoever is not against you is for you." \n\nIn fact, for God to be truly omnipotent, He must be in control of these sojourns into death. Perhaps He uses them to direct His people. \n\n\nLife After Death: Why is it Such a Hot Topic?\nLife after death -- Why all the interest? Combine events like September 11th with the demographic phenomenon of the Baby Boom generation reaching its 50’s, and suddenly the reality of death from catastrophe and death from mere old age are upon us in a personal way. \n\nSo, it appears that more and more people are asking the same question that Job asked nearly 4,000 years ago in the Bible: "If a man dies, will he live again?" What could be a more fundamental question of life (and death)? Reincarnation theories are popular in Eastern religions as well as the many New Age variants. It seems people are comfortable with the idea of another chance to return to earth and figure things out or make things right. Some nihilist thinkers believe that death is the absolute end; but contrary to what many might think, most people believe that death is not the end. In some shape or form we go on. \n\nWhen Jesus was talking

yes! A REALISTIC HONEST PERSON ON THIS GD DAMND SITE! my aunt died a few years ago and was dead for a while. she came back and said she saw nothing as well. but ask anyone else in my family, and she saw a miraculous light with angels reaching out to her. i guess the fact THAT YOU WERE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE isn't a big enough "miracle." now you have to lie!

To us who haven't seen anything extraordinary, we always ponder. A friend of mine just recently attested to a story. It goes like this. His grandmother just died then. They had a new born baby in the clan and it became very ill for no apparent reason. And i think it was an aunt who said in our dialect, "Not this baby nana, still too young." So the inexplicable illness transferred to a nine-year-old boy. They called in an "arbularyo" (herbal medicine practitioner with an allegedly unique knowledge in spiritual matters). So this arbularyo commanded to put the grandma's shirt on top of the head of this boy. And then he began to talk. He spoke in a manner very much like his grandma. He began giving sermon to his uncles and aunts. I asked if he spoke with a different voice. My friend told me that he still spoke according to his voice, but the manner of speaking! If you find it hard to believe, you can draw on the illness part for greater reason to believe. But then, it's really up to you to believe in something or not. When they asked the boy what happened then, he said, in a vision, he just saw his grandma approaching a bright light.

Yes, I have had an out of body experience, but I didn't go to heaven or hell.  I had a very bad automobile accident, and was rushed to hospital by ambulance with sirens screaming etc.  When we got to the hospital casualty staff were waiting and the ambulance personnel quickly got me out of the ambulance and rushed me into the emergency section.  I was fully conscious (I think, but I have never discussed this with anyone so I'm not sure now).  Anyway, as the ambulance guy pushed my stretcher at full speed into the casualty section - I found myself on the ceiling above the stretcher.  As he and other people rushed the stretcher along a corridor, I bounced up and down on the uneven bricks in the ceiling.  I felt incredibly nauseas.  Then we rushed into an emergency room where there was a doctor.  As we came to a stop, I came down onto the stretcher again.  The doctor prodded and poked etc, but the whole time he was doing it I couldn't really open my eyes, because there was a window behind me and the full noon sun was streaming through it and it hurt my eyes it was so bright.  Then I asked the doctor to close the curtains or blinds on the window and he was perturbed and gestured and I managed to turn around a little and there was just a blank brick wall (ordinary room wall) behind me.  The light was gone the moment I looked and the room was so drab and dark compared to before.  I have no explanation for all of this, but it does make me wonder sometimes.  I obviously survived the accident - I still have scars but I came out amazing well considering.  The doctor in the emrgency room repeatedly told me 'you have been very lucky'.  Was there an angel there?  I often wonder.

I guess everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who has had a miracle...  but nobody has the medical documentation.  Everybody has heard about great miracles in church or on religious television shows, but the proof is in the pudding...  or not.\n\nI would have thought this question would have exploded with answers.

I wish it were true. There are several theories that could work. But in reality God wouldn't permit it.\nThere was a discussion about the folding of space, but the end result seemed to be that normal time would have been accelerated and there would be no place to return. No one you knew would have survived. I too am sorry for you haveing lost your DAD. We too have lsot loved ones this year, A Mom and A sister in 10 months time.\nTake heart though, you will see your loved ones in the resurrection according to the Bible. Look in the back through "Revalation"

It happened to long ago for blood samples.\n\nJesus was put in another mans tomb.  This was done so that he could be burried for the holiday.  The man that owned the tomd was one of the jews that had him killed.  With that understanding we would have reason to belive that he would have had the body moved to a criminal grave site as soon as they could.  Now we need to look at how long it took his followers to request to see the body.  It took 70 days before the made a request to see the body.  A body was produced for them but they denied it was jesus.  \n\n^That is history.  Not some superstition made up by Paul.

I believe there is a high likelyhood that a man name jesus exhisted and did much good in his time, just like i believe in the doctors of today who do good. \n\nNow as to him being some holy being, that I don't quite believe in because it doesn't make alot of sense to me, just as I wouldn't believe in a doctor brought a corpse back to life. \n(not talking about people who are legally dead for a few minutes because that happens somewhat often with today's science.. I mean someone whos really dead.. REALLY REALLY dead.)

My son needed a liver trabsplant 2 months ago. I prayed really hard, I prayed the chaplet of The Divine Mercy. Now my baby is cancer-free, all the tumors are gone without any surgery... the doctors last week were amazed. It must be the worked of THE GREATEST PHYSICIAN! That's what you can call a MIRACLE. For more testimonies on miracles by the Divine Mercy here are links for you to visit:\n\nhttp://www.apodivinemercy.com\nhttp://our.homewithgod.com/divinemercy/miracles/\n\nI've seen the paralysed walked, the blinds see again, the uncurable skin diseases were cured and more! \n\nI even experienced receiving messages from the HOLY SPIRIT... everytime it happens... my tears can't stop from falling from my eyes... I feel inner peace and happiness.\n\nI'm more than blessed to experienced these things! They are proof that our GOD is a LIVING and MERCIFUL GOD. \n\nDon't stop believing!!! Miracles do happen every second of our life. =)

Oh, dear.  So many of them have been disproven.  Be sure to look up the methods of fraud being used as well, such as statues with yes of porous stone, etc.  Best to be careful, as the church doesn't need that sort of publicity.\nAt the same time, science never suggests that something is false because so many have been found to be false.  There may be some real miracles, and waiting for God to prove himself is hubris in the extreme.  I can think of few other apparitions I'd rather meet in a dark alley, or in the skies.\n\nThat some people have dream-like visions while awake is already proven fact.\n\nI had a "vision" of God when I was seventeen.  I still leave open the possiblity that it might have been something else, despite the wonderful results of that experience and knowing it's truth.  There are always other possibilities for what caused my experience that a sane and thoughtful scientific man should consider.   Yet, we must never be afraid to explore the unexplored.\n\nKeep searching.

I think that maybe God is saving that level of healing or miracle for a time right before the tribulation, as a last sign of His power.\n\nMany people have wondered about this subject, even those with the gift of healing, but I do not know of any one receiving an answer.

There definitely is something... what it is I am not exactly sure but, it is much more than anyone here can ever know. I have read a lot on this..and somethings have me think...maybe there is a better life after we die.... I am skeptical on quite a few things. I do however believe this physic Sylvia Browne.. You should watch and listen to things she says.. it is amazing.. She appears on Montel every Wednesday. Is there a "GOD"? That is not so believable from where I sit but, again, that is not been proven to me as of yet. LL.

not the field of science, totally different realms of magisteria.  Science will never have an answer.  Science can only say that near-death experiences can be explained by oxygen loss to the brain.

Heres the thing, people back then werent the best knowledgable people for medical situations. I mean come on, they believed in demons and devils given this, he may not have been TRULY Dead at the time, but just had a pulse too weak to notice. This happens TODAY in hospitals where people wake up in the morgue, its true-a man was "dead" but it was sooooo cold outside where he was discovered that his pulse had dropped below a detectable level, until someone in the morgue saw his chest moving SLIGHTLY.
