What happens when you die?

I know far more of the scientific reasons of oxygen depletion and the effects on the brain, the chemical balances that occurs in the body during death, tunnel vision and the carbon dioxide effect...etc. than I would like too. It came down to the fact to me, that there is much more beyond death than any of the religions or philosophers can imagine. I am not going into the details as it is something very personal and many will not believe what I experienced, or do I really care if they do. I am a living person with a death certificate.

I will say this much. I believe more than ever in reincarnation. I didn't really think about it before this. I came out "Knowing" minute details of the past that I would have never known had I not lived through it before. Things that are never written about as they are so insignificant to anyone not of that time. (Unless you are a academic studying the era).

Yes, there is something past death. Everyone will experience something different. There is a place of beauty and calm. There are some of our loved ones there and some that have cycled through again are not there. We all have our own paths.

That's some crazy ****, Jim. Did they ever determine why you came back to life?

Oh, and I think our energy still exists (matter can't be created or destroyed?) after we die. I'm not sure why some people's energy manifests as ghosts and some doesn't, though.
I think heaven and hell are silly as they've been conceptualized. But there is that energy that still exists, where does it go? I think it is likely that the energy is still on earth, and for some reason people have stronger or more or something energy attached to them, or in them, or whatever, and that is what manifests as ghosts. It's hard to explain.

I thought I may have, but I searched & couldn't find anything. There were a few about ghosts & "signs" from beyond, but not specifically about the afterlife.
