Hi i'm new this forum, and incredibly new to all of this spiritual & afterlife stuff. Lately i've been a little depressed  . Having lived a life concerned chiefly with the physical, scientific world ( ever since i was born 15 years ago), it really hit home hard when i (completely randomly) fully realised the inevitability of death. Having a completeley secular and atheist upbringing, i naturally assumed: yeah, death, got ages til it happens, make the most of life etc, forget it. I couldn't. I consulted my father- an atheist- and he just said the same- you're gonna die, accept it, make the most of life while you can, and try to make it better for other people. Ever since then, i have felt rather uneasy and unhappy- who wouldn't be when faced with the the prospect of eternal nothingness? I became desperate, and avidly searched the internet ina an attempt to find answers to the philosophical dilemna of "is there life after death?" and other such things. I began to read about OOBEs, NDEs and other such phenomena. I browsed many sites which have proved to be incredibly helpful in removing my fears and answering my questions. However, there is still a large hole to fill. If you can spare the time, could anyone be so kind as to tell me where to get started in exploring my conciousness and the various spiritual realms? i understand these things take time and effort, but i am a relatively patient person. However, i need to see things to believe them- i'm just that kind of person. Any help and support would be greatly appreciated. Also, any methods of spiritual exploration(or whatever you want to call it) that don't invlove any purchase (for now) would be preferable (i'm not old enough to own a credit card and probably couldn't convince my parents to let my purchase Hemi-Sync are other such items). Thanks for your help.

ok cheers m8.

Basic method:

sit somewhere, quite with little or no noise.

close your eyes, and try to think of nothing for 15 minutes.

repeat, each day until you pop out.

Hello your mum:

Do to numerous experiences I'm certain that the afterlife exits. It can be a wonderful or bad thing according to what you make of it. I'm not talking about the fire and brimstone thing. Rather, when you cross over you'll go to a realm that matches your state of mind and heart. If you try to be the best person you can and grow in love, you should be fine.

If you doubt what I say, that's natural and healthy. All I can say is that I have no reason to lie to you. I'm not selling anything.

With the selling factor in mind, I've found it's good to read about near death experiences,  because the factor of somebody trying to sell you something becomes less likely. Here are some nice near death experiences if you're interested.

The fact  of how you're asking questions is significant. Don't rely on you're intellect too much, because you'll never figure it out that way. Perhaps you'll form a belief system that is somewhat accurate, but a belief system is quite a different thing than direct knowledge.

On the first link below, look under "Notable NDEs."  Sometimes experiences get tainted by a person's preconceived ideas. The less they cling to ideas while having a NDE, the more likely they'll be to see things as they are. It's generally a good sign when they're met by a being of light.
