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.
Some people are convinced that there is no afterlife. They feel that time on earth is the pinnacle of existence and that nothing special will happen afterwards. However, when faced with their own imminent demise even these non believers often begin to change their minds. If circumstances are very difficult they may even begin to pray.
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.
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.
Ideas about life beyond death vary widely depending on the religious, cultural and educational background of the individual. Some people love to ponder the great question of what will happen when the pass away, whilst others feel quite uncomfortable participating in such a discussion.
