What do you think we are beyond our physical forms?

I’ll try and make sense…
We have bodies, or so it appears that we do to use in this state/ dimension or whatever, but after we die, whatever dying maybe, what do you think happens?
Obviously there could just be nothing at all and we are completely in every way non existent, but do you think we have souls, and if so in what sort of form do you think they exist?
There seems to be a definite separation between our ‘brain’ that is unconcious or whatever to us, and our minds that we know as ourselves and our personalities, and I was kinda thinking that this seems to be more than just a load of neurones and things with electrical impulses: so if there is this other part of us that seems to have a different quality of life to it than just ‘existing’, does it die with our physical form? Or does it just use our bodies as a vehicle or something through the stage that is time on Earth? If that was true, then what happens after that?
Maybe what I mean is there is what we know about our existance from science, but there’s so much we obviously don’t know, and how far can it go beyond what we know?

I saw this documentary about near death experiences, and that was making me think, because people who had been blind there whole lives reported everything they’d seen accurately.
And this woman having a tumor from the bottom of her brain (=\) had to have her heart rate taken down to something insane like 6 bpm, and have lots of her blood drained gave an exact account of the operation despite not knowing about it. The point with that is, that she was not clinically dead or something, so people were saying maybe we have quantum particles within other atoms within others etc etc, and it is this making our ‘minds’, also that would explain why she could be both in and out of her mind, so after death, could be just live on as hallucinations of decaying atoms in our minds?

Ok i don’t make sense and I’m going on about a load of crap I guess, sorry man =D
