Ideas Surrounding Life Beyond Death

By Georgia Diaz


Ever since the earliest days of mankind, people have wondered about life beyond death. This is probably one of the most thought provoking and controversial questions. It is also something that many people try to avoid thinking about until the very end of their lives. Death is something that will happen to everyone, sooner or later. Thinking about what will happen afterwards is an essential part of human nature.

Some people are convinced that there is no afterlife. They feel that time on earth is the pinnacle of existence and that nothing special will happen afterwards. However, when faced with their own imminent demise even these non believers often begin to change their minds. If circumstances are very difficult they may even begin to pray.

One of the most popular and best explained theories is that the human soul is really a part of the great divine consciousness. Everything that happens to us during our earthly life is really just an extension of the divine. We may think we are individuals but ultimately we are really all part of a giant cosmic force. No one is better or worse than the other.

These themes are quite common to many different cultures. They do seem to point to a core belief that others who have already passed over are waiting to welcome those who have just departed their earthly life. Interestingly, some people feel that although they died they made the decision to come back as they had unfinished business on earth.

Religion has a lot to say about what happens to a person after they die. In the Christian teachings only those who have accepted Jesus as their savior will be allowed into heaven. There they will live in eternal life with God and those who have already passed on ahead of them. Many people find great comfort in the thought that they will be reunited with their beloved family members.

The only real part of a human being is the soul or spirit. This is able to move beyond the realm of physical matter. As they move on this new path many people feel that a spirit guide, or guardian angel is at their side to help guide them along. Some people are not able to reconcile their issues on earth and are drawn back to finish unresolved business. These are the individuals who have reported these events in amazing detail.

The experiences of the individual remain with them for a while as they journey into the great divine consciousness. This part of the process can last for days or weeks in the time frame that we know on earth. It is these experiences that are often called ghosts or spiritual experiences. The moments when the veil between this world and the next is blurred.

Ultimately we will all die and learn for ourselves the secrets of life beyond death. Until that time we can only wonder and hypothesize. Each person is able to formulate their own ideas of what they expect to experience. For some this is something to look forward to, for others something to be feared.
