Eighth Inquiry [voice] BACKDATED TO 3AM

[nottheanswers]

You now, there are some questions that you'll be unlikely to ever get an answer to you can share. Not entirely impossible, as this place has proven, but the usefulness of the information, how it may apply to anyone else, is always suspect.

I've got one in particular in mind, but the answers will probably be different between here and home, and there's good odds they'll vary from person-to-person.

But I'm using a lot of words to make a very simple inquiry. [sorry everyone, he probably hasn't slept in a few days] What do you think happens when you die? Or, at the very least, between when you die here and when she decides to bring you back?

I have my own thoughts, of course, but my answers aren't important right now. Just the question.

The short answer, or the long one?

[nottheanswers]

Either one will do. I'm interested in the long one, but let's hear the short one first.

[As if it's obvious:]

Depends on how naughty you've been.

[Voice]

[nottheanswers]

According to who?

[He was raised Catholic, it's not like he doesn't know this already.]

[shiromadoushi]

Nothing happens here. You just wake up again in the Porter room. There's noone waiting, no feeling of anything. Just darkness.

[Voice]

[nottheanswers]

No perceived passage of time, just an awareness of dying, then you're alive again?

[Cautiously:]

When I died, I ended up here.

[nottheanswers]

I hear that happens pretty often, enough that a few have believed that this is what happens.

[pacifisted.livejournal.com]

Nothing happens.

You're dead. That's all there is.

[nottheanswers]

Speaking from experience?

[hexappeal]

What kind of answer do you want?

[nottheanswers]

[That's the wrong question.] I'm not picky.

[deadthenred]

It's just kinda black. 'Cept some parts of it are red.

[nottheanswers]

Indefinitely?

I've heard of some cases where it's like being 'Ported out normally - you just go back to where you left. But if you're dead back home...I don't know.

I'd really like to.

permavoice also! but 10:17

[nottheanswers]

I've heard a few things like that, but it does tend to leave the dead and dying hanging.

If you're so curious, you might as well take your own life. To see what happens.

[nottheanswers]

Aren't you always just so full of the best advice.

[bigreveal.livejournal.com]

There are many, many options for what happens to you when you die.

I used to believe it was as simple as Heaven and Hell, or just absolute nothingness in a coffin. Those were the only choices, I thought.

[nottheanswers]

I've seen enough to convince me it's much more interesting than just that. But how that knowledge applies to anyone in a useful way, I couldn't really say.

[afriendtosell.livejournal.com]

youve already been filled in on the basics. what else is there to know?

[ text; ]

[nottheanswers]

That depends on what you'd consider basic, and whose basics they are to begin with. A hub like this, you'll run into a variety of answers on this topic.

So, to answer your question, what else is there to know? Well, what isn't there?

permavoice;

[radiantly]

You got some rather interesting answers, it seems.

yes also

[nottheanswers]

Guess it's the kind of question that hits a lot of buttons.

I don't know what happens here, but a lot of people back home believe in partial reincarnation.

How does that work?
