Ah look you must be... 17-18-19 years old?

21, still haven't gotten a solid answer. It's all based on a foundation of belief. Don't get me wrong, maybe it is right, but I just want a solid answer.

Isn't everything based on a foundation of belief. I belief I see a tree as it is, but I never see it as it truly is. I am never able to observe reality, only an abstraction of it through my senses. I see things through the perspective of time as well. A tree is a stream of molecules, depending on how fast the time flows it changes. 

Here is your first clue: What happens after death is the same process for all of us. Reality doesn't distinguish between black, yellow, white, boy or girl.

How a tree grows, what type of tree it is etc. can be determined by the seed, the DNA inside. You can prove that it is THIS tree, therefore it has a basis.
I can also calculate how big a heart needs to be to pump blood up the long neck of a giraffe, because it's based on facts we have acquired through years of trial and error, thinking and tinkering.
Chemical reactions always produce what it should, and we can even predict weather to a certain degree.
There is NOTHING based on belief. It just is, saying otherwise is borderline delusional.
I am not looking for another belief, there are already more than enough. I want a real theory on what happens after death. Since everyone in this thread pretends to know, it shouldn't be hard.
Here's the problem, what most here think isn't real, it is a made up belief because we don't know any better on the topic of death.
>Here is your first clue: What happens after death is the same process for all of us. Reality doesn't distinguish between black, yellow, white, boy or girl.
Again I am confused. HOW do you know that? Reality DOES distinguish between different structures of atoms, so what you say is entirely made up.
Let's assume you continue by saying that what you are referencing with indistiguishible is the 'soul'. Well, what is it? Belief? Well, then it's useless.
There are ESP experiments more useful and rewarding than just repeating the same belief again and again.
Please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to shit on anyone here. But it just seems naive to me to put all your trust into something that can be wrong, then pretend to know.

I am not saying that we can't identify what the tree is, according to our own measurements. We will never be able to determine what it truly is, outside of our own thinking and socialization. We can name it and measure it until we can categorize it in typology, but we can never truly know it. Of course a tree is fundamental reality, that is what I am saying to. We can get to know it, but only limited, because knowledge is always limited.

>Reality DOES distinguish between different structures of atoms 

Let me rephrase what I mean by how it does not distinguish. For example, we humans attach meaning to our skin color. Yet in fundamental reality, there is no actual meaning to it, just the stories that we make up. 

Lets say I die right now. My 'container' falls to the earth and decomposes. Parts of my body are eaten, parts of it are used as nutrition for plants. Every bit will find its purpose. The exact configuration that I have laid there, dead, will prove to influence an outcome in the future. My configuration will live on. It became part of the rest. I don't know where to go from there without assuming. 

Let's say our consciousness is only borne in the skull. Why is that scary? We are afraid of never seeing this world anymore and leaving our loved ones behind. Maybe this life really is only a single light in between two eternal darknesses. But we have always been part of this cycle, there is nothing new about that. Our atoms have been around for eons and will continue to be in the cycle for as long as our universe exists until it rips or implodes. 

My configurations will always be stored. 

Even though they may be, I am not afraid of becoming part of the cycle again, it is what I already am and have always been. 

Maybe we are just a dream of god, so that it can escape its eternal loneliness.

Ok I think I get what you mean, seems reasonable
