Partying in hell with all the cool dead people!

My body and brain use food )and water) as fuell to do things since I am not eating while I am dead and my body isn´t processing food and that energy is simply stored within me for bacteria to feast on. So that they may live, move and do stuff. So my answer is the energy my body and brain contains simply stays within me. If you would nurn me my energetic potential would still be pretty high.

As soon as you die your brain and body ceases to process food and water (fuel), the powerplant then powers down, you are not a battery that stores the energy to charge other devices.  The brain sends electrical impulses to the body through neurons firing and this ceases through the death process.  You seem to be talking about the nutrients contained within our skin, muscles, tissue, bone, and fluids that bacteria, microbes, mites, bugs, worms, and the symbionic organisms that exist on and outside of us and within us that will continue to feed upon us.  The nutrients and sustenance will be transferred to these other organisms but what about all that energy that we consist of that turns off at death?  Our conscience?  What some may call the soul?  It's there...science says it's there (even though it still isn't fully understood).  Religion does not grant us the ability to reason or have cognitive thought, so I'm not trying to introduce it other than the soul comment (but was only using it to describe what I'm talking about by the only name that this energy or force has been given).  I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your take a little further.

It's a bit if a long article but from t I understand of it (I am not especially great in biology) is that nerve cells send electrical pulses using sodium a negative ion and calcium a positive ion to create an electrical signal/stream because the electrons travel from on end to the other if stimulated and is other wise in a stable condition. In a way a nerve acts a bit like semiconductor.

But the most important thing is the electrical energy is chemically generated so when you die those currents stop because the state of nerves doesn't change anymore and no signal is send anymore. When you die these chemicals are still within you with the same potential thus the energy is not lost. It is simply locked like a nerve cell which isn't triggered. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Find my dead corpus and resurrect myself..



Don't go into the light.

Reincarnation trap.

Good artical, but it only explains the process of communication between the brain and the body.

Methinks, if there turns out to be an afterlife, that's probably the one thing you shouldn't do lol

If there is an afterlife then God will probably not be sending him to the nice place to begin with. If the afterlife exists then many of us are screwed since none of us clearly know which afterlife is the real one. E.g if the Hindus are correct our clown friend might be a dog or cockroach in the afterlife but if Christianity Judaism or Islam are correct he'll be brining in hell

 

If an "all knowing God" exists, then would the knowledge of all that is and all that will be, already be known to this being?  The nut kick would be dodged and or countered, or not need be at all. But if all that is or will be, is already cast, so that your left path chosen or your right path chosen is already known or predetermined (fate) then all the future is, is the further rung out on the record that hasn't been played yet by the needle.

Knowing what will happen is different than controlling what will happen right. So if God knows all that will happen he can dodge but if he controls all that happens then it wont happen at all. But my belief is a mix God controls major aspects like when the apocalypse will come but usually leaves us be to do whatever. Of course he knows what we'll do but won't cause it. That's my belief at least and some people think God does notexist but still everything is predetermined so all kinds of belief systems



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I love my life to this point, so I'd really just want to re-live it, perhaps with more money and knowledge so that I could do some things better and do something I didn't get the chance to do. I really wouldn't change my childhood at all - and I don't really want to go back to it due to the lack of independence; but from about age 15-now would be fun to do over again. Wonderful care-free times with friends and family, experiencing new things. I am very happy with where my life is now, with a wonderful wife, child on the way and a great career. The major downside I see is that my parents and others I care about are aging, and I am too. Life sometimes seems like a giant karma-pot that as you fill it with more good things you desire, some of the great things you already have spill over the top, gone forever. Heaven for me, as best I can picture it, would allow me to keep all of the things I love in one spot at one time, to enjoy.
