I actually made a thread asking the same question you are asking...

take a look...

www.abovetopsecret.com...

As far as animals are concerned, they too also pass onto the afterlife... but they are on a different path then humans are... some consider animals to be more spiritually evolved then humans... Not sure if i agree with that, but what do i know

All life has spirit... and all will pass on to the next step... regardless of the form they take in this existence... that included trees, plants, animals... Bugs?

Also consider the possibility that "time" does not exist in the spiritual realm...

IF time doesn't exist in that realm, theres no way to gage how much "time" you've spent in said place

oh and btw.... "Bordom" is a recent idea... before the 20th century, bordom didn't exist...

Your theory is correct. Non-existence is a delusional idea. An idea that exists only in denial of existence.

Time is a delusion. So the idea of dying and experiencing non-existence at some certain moment is delusional.

The entire manifested world is a delusion where Reality itself is denied. Nothing but Reality exists. Period. Nothing outside or besides it exists. Period. Any experience, thought, feeling otherwise is delusional.

This delusional state we find ourselves in, where time is "real" and space and the universe "exists" is the closest thing to non-existence anyone will ever come too.. and yet "everyone" only "exists" in this delusion and nowhere else.

This question used to keep me up at night - until I really thought about it.

You die, and one of 2 things happens;

1. It is the end. You cease to exist. If you cease to exist, then you have no feelings or consciousness, so who cares?
2. There is something else after death, so enjoy the ride.

If you die, and cease to exist, then it's the end. You won't be worrying about it then, so why lose sleep worrying about it now?

There is absolutely no way to know - and regardless of the outcome, it doesn't matter; it will either be an adventure, or nothing.

I think it's a waste of time debating and waxing lyrical as to what may or may not happen after death - enjoy your life now! Live each moment, embrace it, suck all the life out of each day that you can. Don't sit there pondering non existence, or life after death ... we will all know the answer soon enough!

I would be imagine that it would be just total blackness. NO matter, no conscience nothing.

There is nothing that is not.

A more relevant question might be... can you imagine what eternal existence or eternal life is like.. and are we already IN it?

Non existence is being greatly misunderstood. For instance, if you were everything, you would not experience existence. Because there would be nothing other-than you. Non-existing is not equal to the number zero, it is equal to the concept of infinity,

You ARE experiencing eternal life, but at the moment , your experience of a temporary individual life, is heavily influencing your consciousness.

Time, theory, "manifested world", Space, existence and nonexistence are concepts not delusions. The delusion comes from using concepts to define or analyze your existence.

I see it like this (the following explanation will tie into the nothingness topic in the end, bear with me
