Hello guys,
After life -  ok after life. what is the after life....from what i have seen on the board, it seems like a fairy land..where u get what u desire...do wat u want etc. Now isnt tht a bit too far fetched???...i mean look around us, we are neck deep in problems created by us alone, and we believe tht after life wud be a holiday...albeit a permanent one? why wud god..or some other force give us tht? why cant this be a sugar coated pill to help use die a bit easily...u know so the entire world doesnt get into a panic frenzy like i am

{My replies are in brackets here and below: Seeking answers, I don't see the afterlife as a holiday, but the descriptions I have been able to put together simply come from my own experiences in meditation, and a lot of my meditation is guided. I have experimented a lot, and used these resources extensively, different kinds of cds, with and without music, with and without brainwave frequency technology, and some of my experiences have translated into a feeling of connection between this world and 'that' world. It has been empowering in many ways. I have no explanation why 'God' would give us all these experiences. It just seems to me that human beings are much more complex, much larger in mind and emotion than is apparent from the roles we fulfill in our everyday lives. That is not really a fair comparison, because it sounds almost like someone who has 'seen' the afterlife has an advantage over another. All I can say is that meditation and experimentation and comparison of my 'notes' with the reservoir of knowledge here has very greatly reduced any fear of death for me.}

Travels to and from afterlife - i have read ppl posting tht they went to the afterlife to for retrievals...visits etc and that they had visits from people who told them they r fine. how can this not be a hallucination? mind as we know it is a master illusionist, and we can imagine anything possible...i mean look how far have we evolved!.

{I agree with others who ask that anyone define what a hallucination actually is? We all see the world very differently than at other times, based on many different circumstances.}

Purpose of life - what is the purpose of life if eventually we all are going to be blessed with eternal peace with our loved ones, why do we slog to make our ends meet in this world? and wat when one day this earth ends? i mean meteorite hit....sun engulfing or even tht 2012 thing? what happens then?

{A purpose for life is something you must define for yourself. It is really entirely up to you.}

Western world's fear of death - i am sorry if i may seem racist here but over the years the western world esp the americans see death as an enemy ex- "she lost her battle with cancer" "he won his fight with so and so disease". having said this i dont say ppl r scared...but this all after life thing could be a way to calm them down...more so to give them a sense of hope tht no...u will survive!.

{I agree that there is much fear based thinking here in the West. We are obsessed with youth and materialism of all kinds. It does not make us happier people. But, of course, that has been changing recently.}

OBEs etc - people claim to have had OBEs etc and NDEs. i frankly cannot talk about NDEs coz i havent read about em which i will.
but OBE...how can u move out of ur body unless ur dead!...i believed if a soul leaves a body the person is dead.

{From the experiences of others here, which I agree with, I would say that you are much 'bigger' than you give yourself credit for. Your mind is vast, and contains abilities you are not yet aware of.}


logically after life shouldnt exist because it serves no purpose, but i am secretly wishing it would.

{What else would you like to see in an afterlife? What would you like it to look like, feel like? What would you like for this life to look like, feel like? The universe hears your wishes.}

many people claim to have been contacted by their loved ones, but no one can guarentee tht we meet them after we die, thats kind of weird isnt it? more importantly, how come no one who is visited by their loved ones can say with belief how after life looks.

{The afterlife is a TRULY personal experience. The messages you get in your life, the things you learn in life, are meant for you. You are given a lot of information, sometimes, in a visit, but no one has ever handed me a map, a diagram, 'out there' --- or a big, giant rulebook, saying this is how it's supposed to go. You just kind of get out there -- and STUFF happens.}


my second last point is, people some times post that after u leave this world n go to the after life  u can live with ur loved ones for ever, then someone stands up and says no u have to reincarnate!...and a third one says no! u can choose so. please someone clear it up for me and other seekers.
and why hasnt anything after the after life been remotly proven?

{I don't know. I'm reincarnating every minute here, as far as I can tell. Sometimes I think life is all about accumulating experience until you know what kind of thoughts/experience to avoid, so that you can be of greater happiness and service.}

LADIES AND GENTLE MEN I AM SORRY FOR BEIN SO BLUNT IN THIS LETTER BUT I AM ACTUALLY IN A DEPRESSED STATE AND AM SEEKING ANSWERS.
I UNDERSTAND SOME QUESTIONS MAY SEEM SO BORING AND ILLOGICAL BUT TO ME THEY R LITTERALY LIFE SAVING.

{If you are depressed, learning something new can make you feel better. Everyone, of course, will encourage you to have a visit to the afterlife yourself....ask for a dream, and see what you learn from it. I believe the afterlife is something we each have inside of us, but it is not some kind of 'solid' thing, it is fluid, changing. You don't have to believe me, but I really don't think that it is something truly 'out there' but something inside of you and me at the deepest levels}
