Hello SoldierOn:

I'm so certain the afterlife exists it's ridiculous. I've had many experiences that told me so. I've experienced things that are beyond this world, and where my way of understanding was certain.

On more than one occasion I've received information I didn't know about from my spirit friends, and I was able to confirm it later on.

It sure makes a difference knowing that the afterlife exists. Especially when you've experienced a wonderful heavenlike realm as I have.

Of course, one person's experience isn't another person's experience. Perhaps you can meditate and open yourself up to divine inspiration. Perhaps you can pay attention to your dreams.

Here's how it worked out for me when it comes to dreams. I was going through a period where I was trying to make contact with my spirit guidance. As I meditated I would see different kinds of imagery without knowing why. One night I had three back to back dreams that were so intricate, at the end of the third dream I realized that they were created by an intelligence beyond my own.

I woke up in an expanded state of consciousness and heard a voice say, "just as you found inconsistancies in your dreams, find inconsistencies in your waking state."

Other things took place during this experience, but a key point is that I realized I had made contact with my spirit guidance, and I realized the visual imagery I saw during meditation came from my guidance.  I found that when I asked questions I would receive an answer either through symbolic visual imagery or a short waking dream.

I'm "not" saying you need to make conscious contact with your spirit guidance, just explaining a part of what helped me become certain of the afterlife.

Hi Soldier On: Love... all you need is love. Pore all the love you can muster into any thought of the fear that comes up... then as you are doing this use a BM technique presented by one of his nonphysical adventure partners... see it and feel it 'not there'! Get BM's AKG and do the Heart Intelligence and Love energy exercise with dedication.

S.

As a human being incarnate, you will die.  What is to fear?  It is going to happen at some point...we all hope later rather than sooner.  If you have done your best at living life to the fullest and minimizing the hurt you cause others...what is to fear? 

To fear means to accept that there is something else you could have done to effect a difference.  If you do not know what difference you could have made, then it is incumbent on you to do a diligent search of various ways of living life to find that which resonates the most clearly for you,  whether it was to fulfill manmade dogmatic requirements through organized religion, or through a concerted effort to maintain a pure lifestyle, or through an effort to live your life to the fullest every moment of every day and do your best by your fellow man.  Whichever one of these or anything that you can develop for yourself may resonate with you to provide you a tool to get past the fear, to know that you did what was right for you and to leave all fear behind and to start living through love, then at the appropriate time, a death that is expected, well received and ultimately, a relief and reward.  You have to accept whatever happens after you die...it cannot be controlled...and why worry about something you cannot control?

The important thing is to do something...to not fear the results of your choice and live your life and the opportunities it presents to the fullest.  Do not fear the unknown, because you cannot know it until you go to the other sided...do not waste your life wondering about what you should do and do what resonates inside you as the proper direction to take. 

Of course, this is my own method arrived at through my own paroxysms...you must find your, and therein lies the fun of living life.  Enjoy!

SoldierOn,

I have shared a similar fear for the past few months. It hasn't been so extreme that it has kept me from living my life, but I have not been able to go to sleep at night for the past few weeks because of my anxiety and thoughts about death and the meaning of life. I find that the quiet of the night is no longer as relaxing as it once was as it just gives my mind more of an ability to think when I don't want it to. I find it much easier to sleep at the rise of the sun, hearing birds, etc. I now drive everyday thinking about how I or someone else could make a mistake and I could die. The idea of death greets my mind every single day and until today it has really bothered me and I haven't had any idea on where to look or who to talk to.

I've never had any clue on what the afterlife is, but I've known for a long time what I refused to accept it to be. I've always found been very displeased with the idea that I may be damned for not believing or having "faith." But I refuse to give in to such pitiful beliefs. Upon discovering this site and a few others I've found enough knowledge that ties to each other as well as my very own belief on an afterlife with reason.

That general "I don't want to die" feeling will probably never fade. Because despite that the afterlife is a much better place, I still have things I want to accomplish in this plane. I'm not ready to leave it behind. But in order to make those accomplishments, I can't have the fear of death. You can't let that anxiety stop you from living your life or that fear will carry over with you and your afterlife will be a harder experience. Embrace your life and live it the way you want to live it. Only then will you feel comfortable with death. The better your existence here and the better you improve your soul through enlightenment and knowledge, the more amazing your afterlife will be.

That's the best advice I can give you. Understand that death is only the beginning to the greatest experience, but it revolves around what you do in life. So face that fear, and let it give you power. That supreme consciousness will actually keep you on your toes enough to get the things done that you want.

Thank you all for your response. I will have a look around and read up on the subject. Hopefully I will read enough here that will help me not to worry about death as much. Is it really just the next step?

From my standpoint, besides all the "next steps" you'll experience throughout this lifetime, yes...death is solely the end of the physical aspect of this ego's portion of your soul which lives on as a consciousness within that entity.  It is indeed the first of another countless steps your soul will take through its journey. 

Chances are you've asked this question hundreds if not thousands of times before as a human being in different lives.  And if that percentage is even 1% accurate, you've obviously "survived death" many times...   

And, once again, why fear something you cannot control?

But that is almost the fear itself. I want to be in control! I don't like the idea that one minute I could be here, the next minute I could be on the 'other side'.

Here is another question. Is the afterlife a genuine belief, or is it something that helps ease the thought of having to die? Some Atheists will tell you that something like Heaven was invented by people who were terrified at the thought of death. What are people's thoughts about this?
