Why is it when you die, your soul gos somewhere else but your hair and fingernails continue to grow.?

Question

Seems to me like they'd have no reason to continue to go on like that. Death is supposed to be the end. Might they have little souls of their own?

Answer 1

Their time is not yet up. Now, stay outta the graves Sam!

Answer 2

No, not quite. The soul is what gives life to the body. Growth in hair and nails is simply absorbing the proteins remaining in the body. The body is an empty organic vessel decaying into its basic molecules. Without the soul death grips the body. It is like complex inorganic molecules that combine to form a different substance only to later break back down into its fundamental molecules. Water, for instance, is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen. The essence of a person goes from the visible form (as is water) to its invisible form (as in air).

Answer 3

A person is comprised of three levels of consciousness.

The conscious self - which is also know as the "ego" or the part that we experience and are aware of what is around us.

The super conscious- the soul or intuitive self.

The sub- conscious- the part that controls the life support such as; our breathing, heart beating, hair/ finger nail growth.

Creating or experiences that occur in our reality (physical) begin and end at certain moments in what we refer to as "time"

If one where in Spiritual then creating at that level would be instant. However; at our level (here/ now) it takes time for things to begin and to cease.

When one "dies" and the soul returns to the Spiritual existence this means that we (all three levels of consciousness) enters this state. Ones becomes aware of this at that moment. The so called "growth" of the fingernails and hair is of a short time frame and is just the remaining energy that was released by the sub conscious part of self before the moment of death.

Think of it-

like when one turns on a oven to a cooking temperature. When you turn the oven off it continues to heat for a short duration of time before returning to precooking temp.

Answer 4

Your hair and fingernails don't keep growing, at least not long after your "death", as hair and fingernail growth imply live cells producing the protein. So while part of you dies, it takes SOME time for all of your cells to die of oxygen starvation, but after that, everything stops.

Answer 5

Hair and fingernails do not continue to grow after death.

Answer 6

Actually, your nails and hair don't keep growing. Because there is no moisture in your flesh, the skin shrinks, and gives the nails and hair the appearance of 'growing'. Don't know much about the soul thing, though.

Answer 7

Hair loss affects both men and women. Here are some natural remedies that can help boost hair growth: https://bitly.im/aL9rZ While genetics plays a role, there are other factors, including: hormonal imbalances, an underactive thyroid gland, nutrient deficiencies and insufficient scalp circulation.

Answer 8

Your hair and fingernails are not any further honestly transforming into. what's truly taking position is the exterior around the hair and fingernails will desiccate, or lose water. subsequently your pores and dermis shrinks. even as the exterior shrinks, it retracts, making hair and fingernails appear like they have grown.

Answer 9

So Naglfar will surely come then... if you cannot cease the growing of the nails post-decease.

(Naglfar is a Nordic story about the ending/reaping of humanity by the army of the Dead who come by way of a ship, Naglfar, made from the nails of the Dead).

Organisms do not require a soul to function...

Answer 10

Actually, hair and fingernail growth, like all other growth, stops at death. Retraction of skin gives an appearance of growth.

Answer 11

Both hair and fingernails are dead cells your body puts off. it makes sense that they'd continue to multiply even after death!
