If cryogenics really works in the future, where would your soul hang out while you are frozen for 1000 years?

Right now, people who fall into frozen ponds are saved from brain damage because of the cold. Also hospitals are beginning to use cold temperatures to save stroke patients.

So where will your soul hang out while you defrost?

Icicle heaven.
soul is the flesh it sleeps till judgment
mine…in an antique store, wanna come hang out with me?
I know a frigid wench who’ll keep you company.
At the local pub!
Fado’s Irish Pub, Just come get me when I’m ready.
I think they put it into a small airtight jar next to your chamber.
Good question. I think the spirit leaves the heart organ at death. One would have to be dead to be cryogenically frozen. I wonder if that would make you spiritless when you wake up, or if you would receive a new spirit.
To be absent of the body is to be present with the Lord.(if you qualify) now once that head is cut off the spinal cord do you really think they can reattach it successfully? I don’t.Any what’s a body without a spirit? Dead!
Hey Rebel, maybe they hang out over the Bermuda Triangle or perhaps the Artic to wait for your spring to thaw. lol

I think they hang out with the crew from Ghost hunters
I am almost certain that you do not MEAN **cryogenics**, which is low temperature physics: “The branches of physics and engineering that involve the study of very low temperatures, how to produce them, and how materials behave at those temperatures”. I expect that what you MEAN is “cryonics”.
The Catholic Church is opposed to the destruction of cryopreserved human embryos because they are believed to have been given souls at the moment of conception. Human embryos could be stored in liquid nitrogen for 100 years before being placed into the uterus of a surrogate mother. This is not necessarily so different from cryopreserved adults who could be restored to life after 100 years. Or from a child whose heart has stopped while being hypothermic in a frozen pond. Does that mean that their soul was in heaven or hell for an hour until it was brought back? Is that so different from a cryonics patient being “restored to life” after being cryopreserved for 100 years? What is the difference between one hour and 100 years in the context of eternity or in the mind of God?
Where in the Bible does it say that you go to heaven or hell immediately after the heart stops beating? There is talk of a “judgment day” so maybe no one is in heaven or hell until that day arrives — perhaps at the time of the Second Coming of Christ. That could be 100 years from now or it could be 100,000 years from now. There is no agreement about what happens to souls between the time of death and the time of Judgment Day. They could remain in a suspended state (like a frozen embryo) awaiting Judgment Day — unless they are revived with a defibrillator after several minutes or a post-cryonics treatment after several decades.
What happens to people who happen to be alive on Judgment Day? If they are killed or not killed, and whether or not they had spent 100 years being cryopreserved would make no difference. If there is a scriptural answer to these questions I cannot cite it. The most reasonable answer consistent with Christianity would seem to be something like “Limbo”.
