What Do You Think Happens When You
Die?
This is one of the great mysteries of
life. Nobody knows the real answer. The religious of the Christian, Jewish and
Islamic faiths believe there is an afterlife for “good” people in a place that
goes by various names, usually heaven, but it is a wonderful. They also believe there is place for “bad”
people called hell.
There are humanists that believe that
your energy is released when you die and that energy goes on. There are also others who believe that
nothing happens when you die. You just
die, that’s it.
Multitudes of stories abound of
people who had “out of body experiences.”
These usually take place during some traumatic physical event where they
are near death. Each person says they
were able to look down on their body and then returned to it. Most lead a more focused life after the
event.
Mediums are people who claim to be
able to talk to the spirit of dead people.
I am still unsure how I feel about this.
In no way am I discounting their claims, I just have not been in a
situation where I am shown it to be true.
I don’t buy into the concept of heaven
or hell. According to doctrine of some
faiths, if you repent prior to death you could get into heaven. Hmmm…nope, you can’t wipe the slate clean just
prior to death. Dante wrote a famous
book called The Devine Comedy, better known as Dante’s Inferno, where he describes
the circles of hell. For centuries, many
believed this to be true.
I side with the group who believes
that your body dies but your spirit (energy) remains and just goes out into the
universe. Are you reincarnated at a later
date? I am not convinced of that. Your soul, your internal energy, transitions
to a different environment instead of being in a body. Many can disagree, but it is what I believe.
