What is your belief regarding what happens to us after we die and what is your best argument for it?

I become unfolded and return to the continuity of the univocal substance from which I had previously been in a state of resistance. I become undifferentiated.

There is a unification of subjects when we observe the fate that awaits and connects us all.

My biggest fear is that consciousness is eternal for the simple fact that it does not have the capacity to comprehend non-existence, so when you die you become some unfocused scattershot quantum impulse of basic awareness bouncing through the cosmic soup forever, bereft of notions of time and space, only seeing one point - itself

For a long time I assumed nothingness.
Anymore I'm pretty haunted by the possibility that it could be something and that rather unpleasant.

It will be completely beyond anything we here can predict. Imagine if you tried to mentally prepare an ant to go to the moon. It wouldn't understand the significance or scope of anything involved. That's what happens when we die. And once we land on the moon we won't have any more understanding, by the way. In my opinion. We'll just be an ant on the moon instead of the earth.

You'll see a light and encounter a deceased "loved one". Everyone has heard of this, everyone knows it happens. They'll explain that they've been waiting for you, it's time to go now. And hold out their hand. You'll take it and go with them gaily into the light. You'll promptly awake again as a newborn on Earth.
But there are those who will have a very different experience.
Incidentally, this is the most important thing you will have ever read in your life.

Our physical bodies rot yes. You can only witness what happens to dead things on the physical plane. But what of the higher plane? The meat mobile rots but what about “you”

Your consciousness rolls a new random body in a new random universe. Because it's the simplest possible answer that explains how you went from dead to alive as a random human in the first place.

So? From the perspective of a person being put under anaesthesia no "halting" of anything takes place. You fall asleep, then wake up pretty much instantly, none the wise about the 12 hours heart surgery that was done on you. Consciousness is terrifyingly persistent. It's not a state, but the ground of all states. Consciousness, in fact, precedes existence, because we can comprehend non-existence - intellectually, every man accepts that one day he shall no longer exist, he can imagine a world without himself, days passing as his body rots in a grave, but no man can envision unconsciousness.
