What happens after you die?

It is the changing that dies. The immutable neither lives nor dies; it is the timeless witness of life and death. You cannot call it dead, for it is aware. Nor can you call it alive, for it does not change.

Almost sounds like you're talking about "god."

The word 'God' is used as a metaphor for the 'Undefinable' the 'Unthinkable' the 'Nothing Being Everything'

That is your assumption. If you want to call the timeless witness or pure awareness God, then go ahead.
God to me implies something 'Greater' that what already IS.'Greater' is an appearance / object in awareness.
Awareness cannot be greater, just like we cannot create extra room in space or decrease space by adding or removing objects.
It is impossible to add to that which has no form, no limits and no location.
Awareness/consciousness is all there is - Objectification is imagination.

I forgot, taxes and family feuds over your stuff.

For something to be known - something has to exist - you must exist to know something - but you don't know - you ARE the KNOWN

That should tell you everything you need to know.

The known is not a THING

What happens when I die mmmmmmm that's a profound question we may never know. I think it's what you believe and how you perceive life. I believe nothing happens, absolutely nothing.. Only in life something happens..In death there is nothing, in life there is something..

Truth is, there is no birth or death.Birth and death are appearances of that which has no birth or death.
It is Nothing being Everything. One without a second.

'' I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking.
The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides.''
