After death

Conscious is a process in the brain. It exist as long as electronic signals pass between the cells in a pattern that allows the organism to be self aware. Those signals stop, so does consciousness. It's not a physical object that has to go anywhere.
A flowing river can be moved, but once it stops flowing it doesn't "go" anywhere, it just becomes a pond.

Right. I think he's referring to "soul", which would be different than consciousness. I don't believe in the soul in a literal sense. It's more of a concept, to me. A soul is everything that you are mentally. It's all of the factors that make you up as a being. I don' t think of the soul as an actual object that's intangible and trapped within your physical body.

As Devil stated, I believe thane when you die, you simply get back to the state you were before you were born. There is just...nothing. You die and that's the end of your story. There is no more after. You can't think anymore or reflect upon your past. But you wouldn't even know you were dead anyway. If you got sniped unexpectingly directly in the head, I'd imagine your last seconds would be spent trying to process what the hell just happened before you just "stop". That is, there isn't even darkness, for you cannot percieve dark and light.


Simply put, when you die you simply reach oblivion.
