What more proof do we need, that life goes on??

Question

Blind people have had out of body experiences. People who have been blind from birth. Being able to see for the first time, in an outer body experience, and have given good detail. Their are very good Spiritual Mediums out their, who give solid proof to people, that there loved ones are in the world of spirit... What more proof do we need? Without even talking about religion.

i guess some of you have never been to a Good Medium before.

Answer 1

Indeed, what proof do we need? The answer to that depends on the degree to which you become reliant on the idea of afterlife. One should live one's current life such that either proof of any continuation of it or proof to the contrary does not require us to change the way we live.

If your life either necessarily requires or prohibits the existence of a life hereafter, proof is required. Many of us however, who simply live life for the good of others, do not need it.

Answer 2

The visual cortex of the brain, to largest data processor we have, when not receiving the enormous volumes of data for the eyes, begins processing data from other sources, such as the skin or hearing.

We know that dolphins can accurately identify things by sound, would it be any less for the human brain that is no longer processing visual data.

All of life's experiences are recorded in the brain, including the feel or presence of other objects in a room. The human imagination, especially while in a dream state, can interpret this data and quantify it.

There have been some good programs on the health channel, just recently, on just how remarkable the brain is to compensate for the lack of sight. The covered people's eye, with unexposed film in front of their eyes, to know whether any light leaked in. They tested their brains, as well as the tactile and audio abilities to see what happened. It is remarkable the change that takes place.

Out of body experience does not have to explain this, just the remarkable abilities of the human brain. Sorry, no religion.

As for religion and a good medium, since the Bible teaches that the soul dies with the body and that Spirit of Life is shared with all forms of life, none being greater than the other, than I would guess the mediums are talking to Demons, who have a lot to gain from tricking people.

Answer 3

Proof of an afterlife is very personal. Someone else's evidence can only be proof for that individual. I have witnessed many wonderful things in my lifetime that proves to me, without doubt, that life is eternal, and those in spirit choose to communicate with us. I could list some of them here, however what would be the point as it would be meaningless to anyone else.

Everyone has their own pathway to lead, if any one person does recieve there evidence of eternal life, fantastic, for them. If they don't, well they will continue on their chosen pathway and hopefully lead a full life.

What I will say is that, in my experience those that do find their evidence of survival, not only does it provide comfort but it also enriches ones life, and the meaning behind it, beyond measure.

Answer 4

This would be better "proof" if it were true.

Saying things like this doesn't make them true. Obviously there are no "spiritual mediums" out there who can demonstrate the ability to talk with - and get replies from - people who have died. That's simply false, and your claim to the contrary doesn't change that fact.

In short, the problem with your argument is that all of the facts in it are false.

Answer 5

The brain is absolutely fascinating. Stimulating certain sections with electrodes can produce a type of 'sight'. There's also a kind of blindness in which the eyes can see, but the processing of that information is short-circuited, information is received and can be utilised, but the individual does not 'see' anything.

Blindness is rarely as straight-forward neurologically as it seems to the lay person. Read up on it.

Answer 6

Proof? Nothing you desribed is any kind of proof. Out of body experiences, mediums, psychics, even near death experiences are easily explainable simply by using the power of one's imagination. For that is what they are.....powerful illusions of the human mind...nothing other wordly, nothing from the world of spirits. To classify something as a proof it must be easily observable, repeatable, and carried out by highly reputable sources. The things you mention have none of that.

Answer 7

Let's put it this way: Ultimately, it is upon death that we can get into terms what is real and what is not, Who is right and who is wrong. Death, to be experienced by all according to their time, will come and only the experiencer can prove to himself. But right now I am betting we will survive death as spirit. Soul will eventually die as the spirit crosses over the other side. Today it is just a theory, later I can prove it to myself. Unfortunately, I won't be able to talk about it but only thru a medium which too many believe is a hoax. Good luck to all of us.

Answer 8

When I wanted to know about life after death, I looked at books that had to do with near death experiences. There's a lot of them out there. People who die on the operating table and then are brought back can tell people what went on exactly and what the surgeons and nurses said, etc. And we don't have to talk religion to answer this for ourselves. But the Bible does talk about ghosts. Can't remember where, but it's in there.

Answer 9

If there are good spiritual mediums who can offer objective proof of life after death, then how come they haven't
a) claimed the $1,000,000 prize for demonstrating a paranormal phenomenum.
b) won a nobel prize for surely the scientific discovery of the millenium.

I'm skeptical.

Answer 10

I wonder whether this constitutes proof, and whether these blind people to whom you refer actually had "out of body" experiences.

It would be very helpful if you were to cite your sources.
