WhoManBeing said: No one knows.
Some actually do, but explaining to others is a waste of time and energy and it's not something that can be understood purely intellectually anyway. For a start, the premise is inaccurate, since what we are has never in reality been born or died. If one is convinced that they are essentially some sort of eternal soul, or a fixed, separate self, then yes, the notion of what happens after death makes sense, but if one knows that we're not such a thing, then it just doesn't anymore. And so on and so forth. It's more of a 'seeing' thing, not a believing or thinking thing.

I'm not questioning your powers of observation I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is”
