QOTW- What happens after you die?

We're born. We die. There's no getting out of it.
What do you believe happens when you die? Truly looking forward to your responses...

I firmly believe in reincarnation, but I admit the details are fuzzy. Do we remain seperate distinct personalities? Do we... diffuse somehow and merge with Spirit, then seperate again into different personalities before the next incarnation? I dunno. We must maintain SOMETHING of the distinct personalities of each incarnation because there's just too many people who remember past lives to completely discount it. Or who recognize others they've known before. And having met someone I've known before, I can say from firsthand experience that it's a hugely powerful thing. Not something we can just pass off as a deja vu sort of feeling. It's real, and it's... wow. OK, getting off on a tangent. Sorry! LOL
I've struggled in the past with these sorts of fuzzy-on-the-detail questions, and it used to really get to me. But finally I reached a point of believing that some things are just SUPPOSED to be a Mystery. God is so far beyond our human ability to comprehend, that there's some things we're just not meant to try to wrap our little minds around. And THAT actually, gives me a great deal of Peace. :-)
I believe we live many lives; when we die, we end this life and return to Spirit where we do our life review with the help and guidance
Bink, how pretty you are!
When my eldest dd was 5 or so, she told me that the stars in the night sky are all the souls of people waiting to be born...do we just switch places, then, I asked? Yes, she said, they come down here and we go there when we die...ah, taking turns...
I like the thought of all those people looking down on me and I hope that when I die, I'll see my family and friends again...I don't worry too much about the next life though...I'm mostly concerned with being here for the kiddos...
This is a very interesting question.
Both my hoodoo and Catholic beliefs lead me to believe that there is an afterlife.

I agree with one of the other posters that we do a kind of review of this life seeing the events not only from our own point of view but also that of others. To be truthful I am actually looking forward to that, finally finding out what others really felt about certain situations/events etc. When we are ready and the situation presents itself we reincarnate to have another experience back on the earth. I kind of alternate a bit between the view that we come back to learn certain lessons we missed this time round and the view that we come back to experience different things we haven't had chance to do before so for example if a man in this life we get to come back as a woman in the next, or maybe it is actually a bit of both of these things after all there are so many lessons to learn and things to experience that it is possible both views may exist simulatenously.
I also believe that we meet up with our dear departed ones who are waiting for us on the other side. The only thing I can't quite get my head around is them being there waiting for us when they may also have reincarnated back here. I know that the dimensions are different and so this allows for it and I understand that and I also believe that time doesn't exist in a linear fashion as it does here allowing for this but I guess it is one of those fuzzy details I just can't seem to quite get my head around.

Thank you, Cee.
You will get lots of answers there. We continue

I would take the whole first paragraph from Cara and put it here to start.
Journey of the Soul is one of my foundation books!
