There are so many stories about life beyond death. This is a theme that occurs all over the world. It is quite interesting that many cultures seem to have very similar ideas about what happens when people die. Just about everyone gives this question some consideration. Many people rely on their religion to get them through the transition into the next world.
This thought connects us to the idea of the great divine consciousness. Many people feel that our earthly bodies are really not the essence of self. Instead it is only when we die that we will be truly conscious. This seem like a paradox and in many ways it is. Great thinkers have spent their lives considering this question which ultimately cannot be proven one way or the other.
Much of the discussion about an existence after death comes from people who have clinically died and then been brought back to life. People can stop breathing for several minuets and be safely resuscitated. They often bring with them incredible stories of what it was like on the other side. There are many reports of an intense white light and the presence of spirit guides or guardian angels.
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.
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.
Some people have put forward the idea that our earthly lives are only a trial run for what is to follow. Once we cross over to the other side we will understand what we have been missing. Our human lives will seem shallow, trivial and pointless. They were merely a preparation for the more important after life. Becoming part of the great ultimate universe is far more important that working nine to five on earth.
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.
