Where Do We Go After Death

By Leslie Ball


Spiritualists and scientists have differed in their opinions on what usually happens to the soul after we die. When a person dies, the physical body stops to be in existence while the rest of his existence and consciousness continues. Death does not mean that life has come to an end but a departure for the spirit world which is our real home. Where do we go after death is hence a question that depends on ones beliefs and knowledge on the subject matter.

In the present day, people are more aware of things that happened in the early days compared to the people of the past. However, the people of the past were more knowledgeable of the issue of life following this occurrence. Most people do not like talking about the topic throughout their lives and it is not taught in learning institutions.

When the body stops to function and the connection between the soul and the body is non-existent, true death takes place. The sooner someone accepts that they are dead, the sooner they undergo the real death. Such a person roams around where they used to live before they died for approximately a week or so.

A spiritual guide especially for someone who was close to the deceased leads one to the river known as Styx that is believed to divide the mortal world with the immortal one where people are believed to go after dying. According to the religious background of that person, the guide can be a Christian priest, a Buddhist monk or an angel. Once that river is crossed, there really is no coming back to the earth and how thing goes is based on the various beliefs of different people.

Souls of dead people are usually anxious to leave the world and go to the spiritual place and this causes them to stay for their funeral. People pass through a dark tunnel that leads to a light at the end that comes from heaven. Exorcism can be done for those spirits that have totally refused to leave earth causing disturbance to people.

For Christians, the Bible says very little about what happens to the soul between the last day when Christ comes back and after death. The bible only speaks on the resurrection on that last day and what happens later on. Christians also believe that at death, the soul does not leave the body; but both the body and the soul sleep until the day of Christ return.

Death is a depressing fact of life that people have learn to accept with scientists even gathering information and fact that tries to explain this. Part of these fact is the ability of a deceased brain to show signs of consciousness even when the body is dead and cannot function.

For some people, they get to have the privilege of knowing when they are supposedly going to die which happens when one is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As terrible as it may be, there is a good side to it as they have a chance to make a their wrongs right and basically leave peacefully and more so saying their goodbyes to their loved ones.
