Have you ever thought about what will be with us after death? Mm?.. *Scratch*
I suppose that the first thing we should think about is if we do really have souls. There are some points of view on this theme. The first one is negative, I mean that these people don't believe in existing of souls. Just don't believe, some of them have different argumentation, others have no. But there are a lot of people, most of people, I suppose, who believe in souls. According to some of science explorations souls exists. What is more, it is said that scientists have measured its weight by weighing alive and dead body and calculating the difference in figures between them. It seems strange but according to the facts the only conclusion we can make is that souls do exist or there is something else which for the time being we don't know about. In general answers on the question I have stated in the very beginning can be very different.
I think that people can be divided into two groups: people who believe in God and those who don't believe. I suggested such division because of the fact that most religions 'tell' their believers what will be after such phenomenon as 'death'. But there are people who don't belong to any religion, they are agnostics and atheists. They don't believe in God. Or may be I've made some kind of a mistake saying that they don't, because agnostics are in a kind of hesitation. They cannot believe in something what nobody can approve or disprove for sure. But in the same time we cannot think of them as of God-believers then I mark them out from believers and combine with atheists. Both of them are not told by religion about what happens after death. This way religious people believe that there are the Hell and the Heaven (I'm saying about most of religions, surely there are some of them which extremely differ from which I'm talking about). If not to go deep into religions, the theory is that a 'good' person will be on the Heaven after 'death' and a 'bad' one will be in the Hell ( :( poor little thing). Everything is quite simple. But what can others say about this problem?
I have no statistic figures, but a lot of people think that there is nothing after death and maybe they are right. We'll never know. Others suppose that there is something, but we will never know what it exactly is. We can imagine only how many variants of 'life' after 'death'. But I have one more point of view, maybe it is a new point, but I can't exactly know if it is so or not. (I'm terribly sorry for wasting your time if it is so.) I can suppose from the scientific point of view that the answer for this question can depend on our perception and our believes. I'm not taking into account 'bad' and 'good' things and corresponding 'future'. The thing is that the brain is a complex structure and nobody knows until the very end how it works and how to make it work better or to work in another way. I just can give an example to try to make my views clearer for you...
Let's imagine the situation that there is a person. We'll name him N. Firstly, we suppose that N thinks that there is nothing happens after death. He dies. His brain just turns off. That is the end. But let's suppose that N believes in God, and then there is no doubt that subconsciously he will afraid of being in Hell and he will think: 'Yeah, I've made so many bad things in my life that I'll surely go to Hell!:(' In reality there one more thought exists (it is normal): 'Yes! I've done many bad things? But I'm remorseful of them! Now I can see, it's my fault' Please, give me absolution and let me forgive myself. Don't I deserve to be on Heaven?? No chance? I think I should be there' Can I?' When he dies his brain happily will show him an image of a pleasant place of his dream. He will think: 'That's it! That is Heaven!' But it's just an illusion, all the reasoning lasts for a few second, after which brain turns off. So the thing I'm talking about is that before the very moment of death you reach the place which exist only in your mind, it is your illusion, after all, the image disappears and nothing else can be. It is my point of view. Very simple, almost primitive, isn't it?
Once I got interested in a phenomenon of 'clinical death'. And the thing which I got interested in was that some of the people who were in 'clinical death' mentioned strange and all but unbelievable things. Some of these people stated that they had seen God or angels, others had seen their defunct relatives and so on. Considering this facts I have come to a conclusion that it could be a kind of evidence for my theory. I think that in the moment when a person thinks that now he will die he force his brain to show him 'an image of the end' (in the way I have suggested earlier). But as a result when they survive they still remember what they saw. Often being in such situations makes peoples' believes deeper. But we don't know if these people are mistaken or not, and I suppose we'll never know. Then, may be my theory is a great mistake of my consciousness and the real world after death cannot be comprehended by such a narrow-minded person as I am. Nobody knows.
