The afterlife.

[Brett Nortje]

A lot of people believe in the afterlife, and others find it to be a stupid idea. if you were to think about it, it is medically proven people see things when they die, and why. the problem is that with all the cells dying or shutting off, there should be a lack of sensations, and, that would lead to a lack of seeing anything, as, the eyes are nerves, the ears and nose etcetera are nerves, and what we 'see' is a response to this.

So, with that in mind, there is no way to see something, unless it is a memory, yes? the problem with the typical medical evaluations, which state that chemicals will make you see things or something like that, is that something desperate for sensations will hallucinate, as the body is trying to stay alive, as it is supposed to do.

If the body is dying, then the nerves are tweaked, maybe being too sensitive for the brain to interpret properly, and then you have your hallucination, of course.

But, if the nerves are losing feeling, how can you see things? the default for the universe is black, not white, unless you are seeing your own 'outer eyes?'

So, we know that there is something more going on here than meets the eye!

Now, your body is made of chemical energy, and, as we know, energy is never destroyed, it just changes forms. the problem with my theory is that there is no way to find a significant or important way to show the soul made of energy re-entering the body. this means, of course, maybe it never leaves? it is only for a short while, while the heart pumps the blood through the body, with the oxygen... maybe it leaves the body looking for oxygen, the soul?

Of course, if we were to be critical, we would see that the body is designed to function with the soul, or neural networks where senses travel along, and then seek sensations from outside the body, as the nerves have gone kaput. then, we could say that the neural network leaves the body in energy form, and travels to heavens or hells, yes?

How does it travel? through electromagnetism - the driving force behind motion in our universe. i personally believe it ends up on an 'astral body,' and this is where our prayers go too, according to the ancient greeks. this would mean that everyone is right, of course, except the nay sayers of this whole afterlife thing.

Energy is neither created or destroyed.

In my opinion, what people "see" are simply chemical reactions.

I posted an article from RealClearScience on this not long ago. It said there was more to it than chemical reactions, but didn't rule that out.

Thanks for posting this item, Brett. That is right up my alley as I have done extensive and exhaustive research into the Afterlife for many years and am very familiar with information about the process that takes place. In essence, the mind and the memory a person has survives "death" and I place that in quotations as truly there is no death, we merely enter into another phase of existence at our appointed time, the one from where we originally came from, Spirit.

When we make our transition, that is when we pass-on, we leave our Physical Body and immediately step into or enter into our Spiritual Body. Thus, we immediately become even more animated than ever before as we do not have the weight of the physical body to keep us down and we can immediately start to do things that we could never do while in our physical body. We will look exactly the same, think the same, act the same, have the same likes and dislikes as when in physical body. The fact of the matter is that we are all basically spirit. That is a known fact. But, we are now at this time having a human or physical experience in order to learn the lessons that we came here to learn so that we can continue to grow spiritually.

We are all connected to our spirit by what is called the "Silver Cord." That silver cord always connects our spirit to our body when we enter into the dream state nightly or otherwise. It keeps both connected during the experience. In the dream state we often enter into the Afterlife and visit with those who have gone before us. We are however pulled back into our physical body when we wake up and that is why many times people wake up disoriented and a bit woozy from the experience but don't quite understand the why of it. But when we make our own transition from this life to the next, that silver cord severs permanently thus the spirit and/or soul cannot reenter the human body at that point thus, we pass away.

There are plenty of incredulous people in the world today who do not believe that there could be an Afterlife. They are wrong because there very much is one and they will find out at their appointed time. They even try to discredit people who describe going through the "tunnel of light" and other experiences the person had before they were resuscitated from their comatose state in the hospital or other place and what they said they saw and heard during the experience. Why fight it so much when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, worldwide, that the experience a person had who was declared clinically dead is very possible and real.

For example, there is a very famous case, of many, of a person being taken to a hospital in a coma and near death. The person never once opened their eyes and doctors knew they could not be able to see what was going on around them. The amazing fact of the matter is that when they awakened from their coma they were able to correctly describe a shoe that was sitting on the ledge of a certain floor -- outside! Now how in the world could a person who was brought in comatose be able to pinpoint EXACTLY where the shoe was and on what floor of many and describe it perfectly as to how it looked, condition, brand, etc. when they never opened their eyes. That can only go to prove that the mind survives whatever tragic experience the person is undergoing such that they are able to travel out of their body and to other places during that state and then be able to describe fully what they saw while so critically ill and even when they had been declared "dead."

The person later went on to describe perfectly certain people who were in the room, whom they had never seen before, both when they were in a comatose state and then declared clinically "dead" in the intensive care unit and exactly what they were saying and wearing! It all checked out and of course they never once opened their eyes as they had "died." After skeptical people heard of that they began to change their opinion on the whole matter and became more open to acceptance that the mind and memory truly does survive after a person passes away and never held on to their disbelief again.

That was very refreshing to learn but many others who were in a similar comatose state or have had a near-death experience have reported that they too could actually see and hear what was going on around them as doctors worked frantically to try to start their heart beating again. They described their experience as hovering above their body and looking down at the people trying to save them as well as looking at their own physical body lying down on the operating table and being very animated at that point that they felt no pain or discomfort at all and in fact, when the doctors were able to start their heart up again they describe a feeling of disappointment to have to return to their physical body and feel the pain once again when they were in such a peaceful, tranquil place that they did not want to leave.
