Literally thousands of books have been written about the idea of life beyond death. Many people are quite fascinated with this idea, even if it does seem a little scary. It is probably due to the simple fact that sooner or later we all die. No matter how rich or important ours lives may have been, at the very end we are all one and the same.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
