Hi there,

All I can say is that I'm certain that there is an afterlife.

I lost my 15 month old son back in march and I have come a long way since then in learning the truth on what happens after death. I have had numerous things happen since his passing which has blown my mind wide open.

I can assure you that I'm not in denial, I haven't had to take any medication to help me or had any form of counselling for it, I don't need them.

Also it's not a comfort as some non believers seem to think, I still won't see my son grow up or be able to teach him the things I was going to teach him. I'm only certain because of what's happened since his death and I can't deny them as I would be lying to myself, that's not a good thing.

Feel free to read my post history, I have put some of my experiences on here but there is a hell of a lot more which I haven't.

I will also say that I am not religious, I never have been although I have never said god doesn't exist as I don't know just like Dawkins, Hawkings etc although they seem to think they're in  a position to say this when they don't have the faintest idea in reality. I'm a normal 29 year old lad from England, I'm into cars, video games, women  you get the idea lol.

Also I have never had an NDE or OBE.

Having said that my experiences won't convince everybody, I'm not trying to either, but I know they are what they are and that's what matters to me at the end of the day, but as you asked for help then I'll try my best to help you, it's best to experience things for yourself though to be certain from my point of view.

Thanks, Andy

Hey jdee190,

and welcome on board!

I'd put it like that; for each person who believes there is no afterlife, there's at least one who does; for each Hawking there's a Van Lommel.
It's not possible for us to prove either; it's nothing but word against word.
Meaning; feel free to believe whatever feels good to you.
My believe is that it's meant to be this way.

I wish you hadn't brought up worms or sheep. The brain of a creature has nothing to do with its spirit/soul. Otherwise we could as well discuss whether we're only going to allow doctors and professors in the afterlife.

And please don't be so harsh on your Grandma; it was her experience; brought forth from her love for her husband.

take care,
Vagabound

On a number of occasions I have felt something touch me, one time I felt someone put an arm around my waist but no one was there. I kept my mouth shut on this one as a little test and then the other day my girlfriend asked me if I had felt someone touching me as she had felt it happening. Like I said I kept my mouth shut even to her.

So ask yourself this, how can 2 people experience the same thing without knowing that it was happening to the other beforehand?


It was real not hallucination or any other "rational" explanation. Also spirits doing things is a rational explanation in my opinion.

What you said about your gran is also real as you said it helped her and made her feel better. An hallucination wouldn't do that. Why would a persons mind lead them into a false sense of security? It wouldn't.

I would give her more credit than what you have done with this experience, as has always been said respect your elders lol.

I'm not preaching that this is what you should do by the way, I'm not like that, It's what I would do in your situation, if that makes any sense.

Thanks,

Andy

Thanks for your help everyone, i am doing better but still struggling with the fear of dying. I shouldnt have these fears, im only 17 years old!

My grandma also spoke of a weird smell when she seen my grandpa in front of her, is this common?

Does out mind exist outwith our brain? I was told that a simple MRI of the brain can show you the mind

Yes they are just words but VERY good ones, Albert.

I have moments of doubt too and I've been plugging away at this search for some years now. I read the skeptics and both sides proof. I try to keep it balanced though so I don't fall too far into the abyss of doubt or become overly confident about the afterlife.

I have found so much info, but I feel the best refuters of evidence are the pro afterlife folks. Chris Carter's latest book is a great place to start putting the most recent materialist arguments to rest I think. It's on Near Death Experiences but he has another one on PSI too.

You're welcome jdee:

The experience I speak of was like an NDE but I didn't experience a near death event.  I figure I had it for no other reason than it was an experiece I was meant to have.
