When I die, what will happen to my mind? Will there not be an extension of my feelings. Death is something unnatural for a person, and therefore people unconsciously avoid thinking about it. Even thinking about it in any of its forms, we feel that our own death inevitably rises before us, as if coming to life. The picture of our death comes upon us and becomes more real and realizable.
People don't want to say goodbye to life at any age. They are afraid of the thought of what awaits them next. Some hope that some part of them will live after death. And they think: what will happen to my soul when I die? Believers imagine that they will go to heaven or hell.
Where does the soul go after death according to Christians
What is this or that place in the understanding of a believer? Paradise is a place where the soul finds eternal peace and bliss. Religion gives faith in the future, faith that even the most senseless, at first glance, but righteous life can have a result. And what we did not receive while living here is waiting for us in paradise.
Those who did not consider religious prohibitions, who took everything from worldly life without thinking about the correctness of their deeds, according to the Christian religion, will go to hell. According to Holy Scripture, hell is deep in the bowels of the earth, and the soul that gets there feels eternal torment. In that place, some souls feel eternal darkness and cold, while others burn in molten liquid. There is weeping without consolation, uninterrupted and ineffectual.
The opinion of atheists about the veracity of the existence of the afterlife
How do atheists imagine death. What will happen when I die? They offer death as the end of existence, eternal darkness. It's like a dream where you don't remember anything. Plato, in his Apologia, speaks from the mouth of his teacher Socrates, who was sentenced to death. He muses that if death is the absence of any understanding, something like sleep, when the sleeper sees absolutely nothing, then it would be amazingly agreeable.
In fact, if we had a choice between a night when we saw nothing, and a night in which we had wonderful dreams, we would understand how many days and nights we lived better and more pleasant in comparison with all other nights and days. Undoubtedly, this thought is very convenient for some lost souls. After all, then we will never have to answer for our actions to anyone, then live as you want, because everyone will have one result - there will be no punishment or encouragement. But it also points to the meaninglessness of life.
Scientific evidence for the existence of the human soul
But there are other thoughts. Dr. McDougall from Massachusetts weighed the human body at the time of death and proved that it becomes lighter by 21 grams. He assumed it was his soul leaving him. Interestingly, when he weighed animals that were on the verge of death, their weight did not change. The conclusion of his tests is that only people have a soul. He also suggested that the soul releases light after it leaves the body, resembling the faint, barely visible glint of stars. This small, almost weightless spark contains the uniqueness of man and is the key to eternal life.
Views of other religions on what will happen to the soul after death
The Hindu religion, for example, believes that the human soul is immortal. When he dies, she gets a new body, and it is not always human. At each stage of its spiritual development, the soul takes on a different form: be it a plant, an animal or a person. The human body is the highest degree of spiritual development.
But the Slavic-Aryan Vedas say that as long as a person with the same soul lives an unworthy life, he will not be able to rise higher along the so-called golden ring of formation. His soul will wander around the universe in an eternal search for truth, each time going through parallel circles, acquiring new bodies with fresh feelings and three new dimensions. These reincarnations will take place until the soul eradicates in itself all the vices that it felt through the prism of its mortal body, giving it toolots of freedom.
Wanderings of the soul in a dream
What will happen when I die, what awaits me there, on the other side of the world? No matter how scary it was, but at least once in a lifetime people thought about it. Imagine how their soul leaves the body. And then the picture that others or religion put into them rises before their eyes. Those few who have experienced clinical death say that these feelings are reminiscent of peace and tranquility.
Sometimes it happens that you wake up at night from the feeling of a rapid and painful fall and you can’t remember what you dreamed about. Some people believe that this is the soul returning to its body, which it left during sleep to travel to other dimensions. But what if this is true, and where then is the line between parallel worlds? What if what we remember as a dream is actually the wanderings of our soul. It's just that what the soul remembers, our mind does not always remember.
So maybe after all we shouldn't rush to find out the truth about what will happen when I die. After all, every person on earth has his own unique mission. And, perhaps, you need to try better to understand and fulfill it, whatever it may be. After all, everyone will know what will happen when I die anyway. But there will be no return, and we will no longer be able to correct the mistakes. Therefore, we need to enjoy every second of the time measured out to us here on this beautiful planet and pass with dignity all the tests that the universe sends on our way.
