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.
It is a sobering thought but each day on earth some eighty thousand people die. Some were old, tired and ready to go, but others were young and in the prime of their lives. They may not have been ready to leave and their lives ended suddenly and tragically. Before they knew what was happening they were facing the greatest journey of the existence.
From a religious perspective there is a clear idea of what will happen to a person after they die. In the Christian faith those believers are absolutely sure that they will reside in heaven with God for eternity. They are often comforted by the thought that they will see their loved ones who died before them. This strong conviction has helped many people get through difficult times.
Many people have a more spiritual than religious outlook. They are not so clear on what they think is going to happen to them after they die. Many people think that they will pass through certain stages of consciousness. At the point of death they will move into a state of being in which all their past concerns will confront them. This includes all the negative thoughts and emotions such as guilt, anger and jealousy.
As they are finally forced to confront their inner most feelings many people experience a true moment of clarity. They are able to recognize their own nature and then move beyond it. This passage takes them into a form of consciousness that has no earthly constraints. It is the divine consciousness that is the true meaning of existence.
Maybe it is because of the struggles that we all face each day to stay alive, happy and healthy that interest in another realm is so popular. People are naturally drawn to the idea that there is another place where life is so much easier. We will not need food or water, clothing or shelter. We will not be burdened by negative emotions or wounded by pain. Instead we will experience perfect bliss and never have to deal with discomfort again.
The concept of reincarnation is very popular, but sometimes controversial. Most people believe that it is possible to be reborn into another human body. Some religions believe that a soul who is not ready to move into the realm of divine consciousness will be reborn and live through more lives. Only a highly evolved soul will be able to choose who they come back as.
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.
