Life After Death

"Life after death" is a very interesting topic as many of us can imagine. No body knows the certain answer to this concept. That is why; it interests each and every one of us. We all are curious about what happens after death. If we know that the life after death is not painful, or the life after death is pleasurable with no pain, no body would want to live now and struggle.

Since we don't know that answer, we are scared of death. But what if the death is not scary as you think? What if life after death is much like living in a paradise? What if each of you is like Jesus Christ, who came to earth to carry the pain? But when you cease from earth, what if you go back to your real YOU? What if you are a god? No body knows the truth.

We are just living because that is what our ancestors did. We are just following other people. When someone gets a bigger house and get rich. We wanted to be that person. We all are trying to find happiness from the materials we own. Is it evil? I don't think it's evil to desire money, since we don't know which way to go. We all are lost in the earth without direct guidance. We are fighting for survival. We all are trying to duplicate our genes by having kids; trying to promote our characteristics via our genes. It is easy for us to accept simple facts that we see in daily life than thinking our real purpose of the existence.

Materials you possess bring you immediate happiness than looking within yourself. Everyone wants to be rich, so you are following the mainstream. What others need is what you need as well. But once in a while you have to stop your rabbit race and look back your trace. Your purpose of life.

Let’s look at life after death concept logically. When you look at a dead person, his bodily functions are ceased, and there is no heart beat or lung function. No breathing sign; no blood circulation. When someone dies, that person is leaving every physical belonging he has, and also his own body as well. So what do they take when they leave their body or to after life? The best word to illustrate this is "consciousness”. Knowledge and skills will also be vanished with the physical body.

Therefore, there is only 2 possibilities:

1/ When we die our memory, skills, knowledge will also be ceased with the physical body. We don’t take anything with us. Just disappears with no trace. Nothing exists after death.

OR

2/ Only our consciousness will follow us.
