Stories About 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.

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.

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.

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.

A common theme in many belief systems is the idea that immediately after the time of death the individual will be faced with their own emotional baggage. This is often unresolved feeling particularly anger, guilt or hostility. If they are unable to face it they may have to return to earth and their body. Most people seem able to face this challenge and move on towards the afterlife.

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.

When someone dies it may not be the end, in fact it may actually be just the beginning. Ideas about life beyond death are pervasive in practically every society. After all death is perhaps the only thing we all share in common.
