Is there life after death?

Lynn · 12-04-2010, 07:46 PM

My personal belief is that we are spiritual beings, larger and more powerful than our bodies. I believe that we *are* the soul, not that we have a soul, and I believe we are immortal. I have had some personal experiences which lead me to these conclusions, as well as some studies which support my perceptions.

I don't believe that there is a prescribed task or set of activities that one does when he or she leaves her body. That is, to me, as regimented and proscribed as the dogma of religion. I think if you're a nice guy in life, you're always likely to be a nice guy. If you're rotten, you can learn and do better, but you can also continue to be rotten, from lifetime to lifetime. There is a continuity to who one is, body or not. Just because someone has died and is now in a spiritual form, it doesn't mean they are wiser or kinder. But, they may be!

Day to day, I don't thnk about dying or a next life. I experience spirituality more in terms of realizing that I am able to create my life and future, and that my intentions and thoughts can supercede the expectations of others, or even the "rules" of the universe.

I simply don't know. I've asked my spiritual pastor, she doesn't know either. I "believe" we all have an energy, the soul, that never dies. When the body dies, the soul takes its own form. Where it goes? I don't know. I'd like to think a much better place. I don't believe there is a hell. I think hell is what we chose or don't chose to live in/with while in our physical bodies.

I can share that my mother was totally non responsive for 2 weeks. Her pastor came to visit and we all held hands around her as he said a prayer. She sat straight up in her bed, clapped her hands, and had the happiest expression I've ever seen on her face. She never spoke another word and died shortly after that. My faith, a bit restored.

The greatest mystery of life is death.
