Beliefs about what occurs immediately following human death vary deeply across world religions, philosophical traditions, and Christian eschatology. Within various Christian doctrines, perspectives are divided between the belief in an intermediate state often described as soul sleep—where the deceased rest unconsciously until the final resurrection—and the belief in an immediate conscious transition to heaven, purgatory, or paradise to be in the presence of God, reflecting diverse interpretations of sacred scriptures.
