Hello to everyone on the message board,
I've investigated about "life" after death and recently found this webpage, where I have scanned through different articles and the faq.. Yet, a fear overcomes me beyond reason. When I start thinking about it, death seems like such an awful thing (considering the fact that peopel say you won't feel anything anymore) that to make it simple, freaks me out.. Considering there IS an afterlife, do we meet the individuals we love over there? What reasuring information could I have? I appreciate anything you might tell me, since I have not worked up the courage yet to attempt afterlife exploration by myself. Thank you, photo83

Im not really the person to explain this all, there are way more experienced people on this bored but i will answer your questions as best as i can...

I guess death can be painfull and it can also be calmfull, e.g passing away in your sleep. Once you have crossed you wont feel anything and you will be back to yourself but in the afterlife. DOnt' be afraid of death though.

Yes we will get to meet loved ones and people we knew who have also crossed over. But don't think we will see them all when we first cross over, most like family may be there to help you in your transition but there is lots to do other there so some might be busy, be patient.

Reassuring information you can have....Well people can tell you and go on and on and on but to really know you need to experience for yourself, read this site and find out how.

Good luck, Ryan

Hello and Welcome!

Death is simply letting go of the physical body.  You will still be you.  Yes you will see and be with your friends and loved ones.

It might be helpful for you to figure out exactly what you are afraid of.  Most of our fears come out of our childhood experiences.  Many times we learn fear from others, such as our parents.  We also tend to think that we are our body, however, we are not... we are so much more as science is now beginning to prove.

Hope you will continue to share your experiences with us.

Love and peace,
Kathy  

Welcome to this forum. I totally agree with Kathy. You need to find out where this fear came from and face it and release it.

Love and fear cannot exist together at the same time. Please remember this.

Love, Marilyn ;-)

Dear Photo83-

I'm at the age when the body has begun to rebel against the indignities of three quarters of the century of rather dissolute living. Without going into the gory details, I'm rather looking forward to this one falling off and being replaced by a newer and better model. Hopefully I can also direct it into a lifestyle that is superior to the last one I tried. Unless you happen to be faced with immanent demise, I suggest that you relax and enjoy what you have going, and above all develop your spirituality. I thkn it was Jesus who told us, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and then all else shall be added unto you." Whereas you don't get much added on, except middle age spread, in the material world, you'll find that there is more new life available in the spiritual realms than most materialists even dream of.

I do past life therapy, and the people I work with always say that death is a tremendous relief. However, it seems that being born is a bit of a nuisance. Most people figure that birth is a far greater hassle than dying.
