What happens after death?

Question

I want your opinion on what you think happens when we die

Answer 1

Hi Midnight Star,

I have lots of experience with dying and what it comes down to is this. Inititally, after you die, what you believe about death will determine what you experience next. If you believe in Heaven but feel guilty you may find yourself in Purgatory or Hell... If you believe in Paradise and have done your duty as a good Muslim then you may find yourself savoring many virgins... (Not sure if they are supposed to beautiful virgins but hey, if you are going to create this sort of after-life experience for yourself they may as well be beautiful, eh?)

Here's the deal.

Everything we experience is a product of our mind's beliefs and emotions. That doesn't end when you die because our bodies are created by our minds and not the other way around like most folks tend to believe... (See the movie/DVD "What the Bleep Do We Know?" to get a grasp of the principles involved, they don't agree with me but they still set a good foundation for what I have experienced. Also see or read "What Dreams May Come".)

Here is a general description of what has happened to me when I have died:

I have found myself in an underworld that resembles hell (it is not really hell but something more fundamental upon which beliefs about hell have been based). I wander around having dream-like encounters with people or things that upset me. (I am being gently steered into encounters that help me recall times in my life when I have hurt myself in one way or another. These encounters are designed to help me to heal myself of hatred and anger directed against myself or others.)

Eventually I find the center of this labyrnthine underworld (its really more like a maze except that any way you go through it you will always wind up in the center). As I approach the center there is someone waiting there who appears to be the devil or evil incarnate if I am carrying around a lot of guilt and hatred. (The evil appearance is caused by psychological projection about what I fear or believe about myself, guilt that I have been bad or evil.) But as I get closer and closer I feel more and more loved by this being standing in the center of what may appear to be hell. When I finally stand directly before this loving, compassionate, nurturing being they no longer appear to be the devil or evil because their love has cleansed me of all my anger and self hatred. They now appear to be Christ. When I embrace this figure we merge together into one being and I expereince myself as a 'christed' being in the highest state of my spiritual existence. I then have three choices. I can ressurect myself in any life I have died in previously and carry on that life again as if I had not died there. Or I can reincarnate and begin a new life in any form or any world I choose. Or I can postpone the choice and sojourn in the spirit world with all my soul mates for a while before I choose to return to an incarnate life again.

That's it.

In my recent death experiences I repeatedly choose to return to this particular incarnation to carry on my life here because I have a contractual mission to complete in this lifetime.

I hope you enjoyed my answer and that you found it deeply resonated with you...

If you dont believe me then you are welcome to drop by and kill me... I most likely won't ressurect before your eyes, that's exceptionally difficult to do, but it has happened that way in some of my initiation experiences; however, I won't mind if you do come over to kill me, as I will ressurect and carry on, just in an alternate dimension where you didn't come calling to kill me.

Unfortunately that will leave you with my corpse... Better bring a vat of acid... :D

Oh by the way, it does help a lot to have any sort of belief in an afterlife. People who sincerely believe they will cease to exist do not in fact disappear, but they do put themselves in a state of suspended belief in themselves that they may not be able to get out of without intervention because they now believe they do not exist and are caught in the state of non-existence they create for themselves... When they cease to exist they are no longer able to imagime their non-existence and this returns them to a state of existence in which they once again imagine they no longer exit... That goes around and around forever until they catch on to what they are doing to themselves and begin to change their beliefs... That can take eternity sometimes without an intercessor to help guide them out of it... Ah yes, I have been trained as an intercessor... :D

One last bit, yes I was trained to understand our after-life and choices and how to interven when someone is having difficulty after a recent death expereince.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

Dying or killing yourself does have consequences, unpleasant consequences. Not only is it always excruciatinlgy painful to die even a relatively 'easy' death, but it leaves behind an entire universe of worlds where you are dead and friends and family must mourn you... That is a terrible thing to do to people who love you and whom you love. You feel their agony acutely when you die, and you always regret it. So my best advice is also the most sensible, do your utmost to stay alive and healthy...

Cheers!

Answer 2

I am not religious so i have a differant angle. I think we are all made up of energy from the cosmic universe and when condensed into a shell like a human or animal or fish it creates intelligent life, if put into a battery or mechanical its still alive just not intelligent.

SO when we die our souls are energy that just disperses back into the cosmis ring of energy awaiting a new use because you cannot truly kill energy so easily. Some are so focused when they die that their consious energy holds their form creating ghosts.

It also explains past lives, if you are born from the energy of others than you wold have there memories, the more of their specific energy the stronger the past life experience is.

All the religions have a good point in their beleifs, but for me combining it with common sense and science this is my belief. God or no god, he uses energy to create life or science does.

Answer 3

When we are dyeing, the heart beat slow, the breathing slow and difficult, the body to heavy to move, the sight turn down to darkness. You will see somebody who already died. Some of you may painful cannot afford and prefer to leave the body. Some of you may see tunnel of light. Some of you may see whatever religious gods who you believe. After few hours later, you will see you leaving your body. you see the other people packing your body, your relative is crying at your body. You know what they are thinking and you can pass though objects and go wherever easily. You can go to somewhere else you love to be there then you will go to anyother world of spirit, insect, fish etc. or even human again.

Answer 4

Your body decays in the box your family so graciously placed you in upon your demise. As the worms and other creatures work their way into the wooden tomb, they craw and ooze through your orifices including the mouth, eyes and ears, and eventually through a process of decay and digestion, you are slowly turned back into the sand from which you came.

What else are you waiting for? There's nothing else. No afterlife. No happy little place waiting for you where all your loved ones are. No nothing.

Nothing matters. Everything is falling apart. You were dying the moment you were born.

Answer 5

in my opinion and according to my beliefs in spiritualism
we are met by loved ones and guides and helpers on death ... they take us to a suitable realm of spirit ... where we continue to learn , grow and move through the spirit realms
until one day joining with the God energy ( where we came from and where new souls are born )

Answer 6

In my opinion there is no 'us' to have anything to happen to.

In other words death is the same as the time before we were born.

Answer 7

some people have a different religion, but... for me, there is judgement. if you believe, (i mean if you are a christian) then, you go to heaven and spend time eternity with God. if you dont believe, you spend eternity in hell, which is a pit of fire where you never die and... hard to explain...

Answer 8

You'll have to wait until you die. Just like the rest of us.

Answer 9

Heaven- Those who are saved in Jesus Christ.(who believed and repented of sin)
Hell- those who rejected Jesus Christ.(never believed and continued living willfully in sin)

Jesus Christ says "I am the only Way, Truth and Life, no one comes to the Father but through Me" John 14:6

And Revelation 20:15
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

-The book of life holds all the names of God's saints- saints are those who are saved in Jesus Christ. Born again christians-

Answer 10

We walk down a lighted path into the arms of our savior. RMmom

Answer 11

Some paperwork gets filled out. The remains are enbalmed and refrigerated. Eventually the remains are given a wake and cremation (the Toast and Roast).

The end.
