God and the Bible tell us yes. However, some are skeptical as no one “really” returns right now to prove that it is true. I say “really” because there are near-death experiences that some had, reciting a tunnel of light. Some saw incredible things that they could not have known as they were unconscious at the time those happened. Some even had conversations with God, for example you can read about the incredible story of Gloria Polo (link further down below). However, some scientists claim that this could be due to hallucinations as our brain dies. Jesus is known to have resurrected himself after death. I fully believe that, however there are some that doubt it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fact is, we ourselves will only find out for sure once our life has come to an end. I personally believe that our thoughts are important and creative. Whatever we think and believe is right, has the potential to materialize. Our soul, our spirit is energy and has ingrained power to live forever. Thus if we believe that we will go to paradise after death, I believe that we will get there. If we believe there is nothing, there will be nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I find the thought of an eternal life quite comforting. When my mother died a few years ago, it also helped me to overcome the pain. Knowing that her spirit is still with me, protects and looks after me – maybe sits right next to me as I now type these lines, helps me to feel connected and feel part of a friendly spiritual universe that I once will enter with my own death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever you believe, I hope it comforts you and helps you to feel positive about your own death one day. We all need to leave this world eventually, and no one, no matter how hard they try, is known to have survived in a human body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here an interesting parable \/ analogy on the subject:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In<\/strong> a mother\u2019s womb were two babies.
One asked the other: \u201cDo you believe in life after delivery?\u201d
The other replies, \u201cWhy, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.\u201d
\u201cNonsense,\u201d says the other. \u201cThere is no life after delivery. What would that life be?\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths.\u201d
The other says, \u201cThis is absurd! Walking is impossible. And eat with our mouths? Ridiculous. The umbilical cord supplies nutrition. Life after delivery is to be excluded. The umbilical cord is too short.\u201d
\u201cI think there is something and maybe it\u2019s different than it is here.\u201d
The other replies, \u201cNo one has ever come back from there. Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery it is nothing but darkness and anxiety and it takes us nowhere.\u201d
\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know,\u201d says the other, \u201cbut certainly we will see mother and she will take care of us.\u201d
\u201cMother?!\u201d You believe in mother? Where is she now?\u201d
\u201cShe is all around us. It is in her that we live. Without her there would not be this world.\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t see her, so it\u2019s only logical that she doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d
To which the other replied, \u201csometimes when you\u2019re silent you can hear her, you can sense her. I believe there is a reality after delivery and we\u2019re here to prepare ourselves for that reality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
