What happens when we die? What happens when we die! That is, when we die we transition from the "Who" into the "What." The "Who" is consciousness; all that is in the material world of the now. The "What" the transcendental; the ineffable energy that is the invisible essence of all things that are the "Who". The "Who" is the expression of the "What". In the now, we are the "Who". In the time before and after the now, we are the "What." The "What" is constantly transitioning into the "Who" and the "Who" transitioning into the "What". The "Who" is one thing, but our self sees the "Who" as an infinite number of seemingly independent things. When we realize the "Who" is one thing that's created by our consciousness, we know the "What". Those that know they are the "Who" and the "What" are eternal beings. Those that view themselves as solely a "Who" (the self) will surely die....
